  • At least in the US, this is pretty ridiculous. We have more murder tools (AKA guns) than people. And considering the majority of them are loaded and unsecured, we obviously don’t care about safety and more guns isn’t something we seem to mind so…

    I think we can just print whatever the fuck we want on our 3D printers. The manufacturers of guns can seriously fuck off with this garbage legislation hidden under the guise of safety.












  • No it was photography.

    William S. Burroughs called photography “obscene and sinister”, while many 19th-century critics dismissed it as a “mechanical” activity lacking soul or a refuge for “failed painters”

    Edvard Munch Dismissed the medium by stating, “The camera will never compete with the brush and palette until such time as photography can be taken to Heaven or Hell”.

    Susan Sontag described photography as “soft murder” and a form of voyeurism, asserting it turns people into possessed objects.

    And lastly

    “This industry, by invading the territory of art, has become art’s most mortal enemy.” - Quote from 1859 about photography.

    Strange, as the above quote sure sounds like it is about AI.




  • Absolutely bizarre thing to say. The first liberation of women in the US was 1837 when women were allowed to control their own property. The second big liberation was securing the right to vote in 1920.

    The issue with what you say is how women were treated after the “boys” came home. As other responses pointed out Women have always worked. The change was the type of work.

    They were forced out of their new roles. This was not liberating at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite know your place kind of adjustment.

    I suppose you could make an argument that this created an eventual backlash where the first women won the right to equal pay in 1961-2.

    You have a point about more women working after this time, but it was not equal as they were forced into “pink” color jobs. I would argue the war really lead to more exploitation of women.

    Hitler’s murder crusade inadvertently lead to women being exploited even more than they were before by US capitalism. I suppose it did prove that women could do the job of men, even if their society didn’t respect them.
