For me the LGBTQ colours displayed by the city are meaningful. It feels safer gay kissing in a square painted with rainbows, sitting on pink benches. It made it easier to ease into my own self. It’s like a big sign saying “IT’S OK”.

The fact that other animal species engage in recreational drug use makes me think that this behaviour started before homo sapiens.

lol what no wtf why are you looking for a loophole to kill peeps, you murder hobo

It’s more a question of agency than ability. Take this excerpt from the announcement:

For a company that sells subscriptions, an AI assistant justifies a price increase and strengthens the case for keeping all documents within its own infrastructure. The functionality and the business model reinforce each other, so integration is not only attractive but almost mandatory.

Anyone employed in such a company will have a hard time resisting. There’s a mix of unrest and despair in the discipline right now. I’ve met colleagues drastically change careers over this. Sick leaves over mental health too.

There are lots of wild bunnies around where I live! They’re really sweet and shy and polite. They do go get their own rewards though. They love clovers~

I hope it is all the special you are hoping for maria! Go embrace life~

i know lemmy hates anything ai

You do you maria, I can’t hate on you ever. I’ll just gently point out that distrusting generative AI is not a lemmy thing; it’s representative of the general public. By now the main optimistic demographics on the subject are the “AI experts” aka people whose careers depend on it.

Who’s “they”?

Windows NT was solid. MS went downhill from there.

First off, aaawwww! OK, that’s said. I love having a babybel! Such a cute snack. Fun fact, in Canada the wrapping’s still plastic.

Sabotaging my career, stepping into my comfort zone.

none of that pasteurized boxed stuff, only freshly pressed juice for me

Valuing yourself by the danger you pose to the world is so terminally machist.

No, we don’t.

And thank U for your art! I don’t know how literal the metaphor is hehe. Just been feeling too like I’m floating lately and slowly realizing this is just how Earth’s gravity feels now without all the weight. I can’t say if we’re talking of the same things but it’s a good feeling so I’m taking it in.

will White risk it all and grasp the Lilac swirls? or will they leave them be, from the fear of falling down?

There are many Lilac swirls. I very much doubt White would fall down from extending a hand towards one and seeing how it feels. All in due time.

maybe the swirls invite anyone? but what if it’s something special for them in particular?

Maybe the swirls realize White is one of them. Maybe it’s an invitation to all who do. Maybe it’s a personal invitation. The sense of belonging is so beautiful nevertheless.

Oh no I don’t have a special someone yet but I’m trying very hard to change that. Opening new opportunities for friendship and being told nice things I’ve never been told ever is already enooormous though.

Oh gosh the “i want both now”. I’ll need to ponder on this. I’ve had a lot of pleasant tears lately, from relief maybe? About recognizing what I want, who am I, and just letting myself be, and be seen. The want for cuddles remains so real though. Music and washing dishes are very tears prone at the moment lol. So yes of course I relate a lot to your creations and I expect many little hearts are touched too.

Please don’t show this to my boss.

Aw your comics are so good, hard to pin down what’s the exact theme but so so cohesive at the same time. Acts of love? Care? Romance? No matter, you clearly have something precious to share and you’re doing it beautifully~
