    it’s not an uncommon sentiment for poorer non-artists… and this comic is pretty demeaning….

    art and music have a long history of being dominated by people who come from money.
    yes, you can make art all night and work all day, but working a full day is exhausting, mentally and often physically… not to mention commuting and cooking food and doing all of the other things people normally need to do….

    try to take your band on tour without some money… totally possible, but a lot easier if you can just ask mom and dad for a few grand to fund it… and then being able to fall back on your trust fund makes pursuing an art career a lot less risky….

    there’s a lot of nuance, and exceptions, but going from poor to successful artist takes a tremendous amount of work and dedication that rich people don’t have to worry about…

    on top of all of that, have you ever looked at the prices of art supplies?

    a lot of indie musicians and artists have trust funds and some people see that as being unfair and disingenuous….

    i guess some idiots are trying to apply that logic as a rationalization of being an “ai artist”… and it doesn’t apply… but the point by itself is a thing




  • ok, assuming you’re sincere:
    Without a decent math background, or at least statistics, it’s hard to explain…

    post-covid conspiracy shit non-stop, i pretty much hate everyone that tries to talk about anything like this,
    and especially anyone that links to a video podcast to explain something…
    and to be a hypocrite, here is a great video, with actually reputable or at least educated people,
    on an actually well established podcast, breaking down hard math, and computational statistical analysis
    with actually informative graphs.
    this is a founder of Election Truth Alliance, i’m starting the video when the slides start:
    https://youtu.be/AWSWqn7UHYM?t=164

    the two long/didn’t watch version is: in suspicious counties, they show this huge anomaly where after a certain amount of votes
    are cast and counted, the percentage of votes starts to change in a way that no other election has shown… with the exception of 2020, and recently Russia and the country (not the us state) of Georgia (also highly suspected of russian tampering)

    the law of large numbers shows that the first 10% of votes cast should roughly have the same results as 100% of votes cast… this is the basis for exit polls, btw… they don’t get everyone’s results on exit, but enough to give a very accurate prediction… this is also the basis of “quality control” testing a certain amount of things, but not all, before shipping them out…

    so what’s apparent in the data analyzed, is it breaks the normal bell curve, a distribution seen in almost all of statistics of this nature, as is normally seen in all elections, everywhere in history… except for these votes for trump and the senate…
    the normal bell curve IS seen for all other votes on the SAME ballots, cast by the same people… so people who voted democrat on everything else on the ticket, suddenly started voted for trump and a republican senate at the same time, anomalously, but voted normally for everything else…
    after a certain amount of votes are cast, with democrats leading in highly populated democrat strongholds, they suddenly start shifting to trump getting 60% of the vote… it’s mathy so it’s hard to understand or communicate, but it’s mathematically impossible…

    key, highly improbable points are:

    • The “Russian Tail” & The “Crocodile Mouth”
      (names for the anomalous shapes seen in what should be a bell curve)
    • All 7 swing states go to Trump
    • All 88 counties in those states flip red
    • Harris underperforms the down ballot race by 6% nationwide

  • Without a decent math background, or at least statistics, it’s hard to explain…
    I doubt you “combed” through it, but rather skimmed over it…
    and hell, post-covid conspiracy shit non-stop, i pretty much hate everyone that tries to talk about anything like that,
    and especially anyone that links to a video podcast to explain something…

  • my dad told me like 5 dos commands, gave me permission to do whatever or break whatever on the home computer his work provided, told me there was some games on there but he didn’t know where… and i figured out the rest pretty much… whenever i broke it he’d just take it to work and bring it back fixed.
    this was back in the wild wild west, where the hospital IT had one master hard drive image, and people threw random games and programs on there…
    i was always surprised how ok he was with me breaking it weekly, but looking back on it i think he was proud…
    i was really lucky in that i had free reign on yearly updated computers, starting on dos when i had just learned how to read, and growing up with that through all the versions of windows…
    i mean, i hate microsoft and all, but i just think it’s crazy all of these people have super computers in their pockets and are afraid of the terminal….
    it’d be hard to start a kid on the terminal first now, when they can use a touch screen in the crib….
    my first computer didn’t even have pictures, but the next one did…






  • these damned activist judges…
    limiting the absolute power of the president to be a dictator?
    that’s just undemocratic…
    some people voted for him… and sure there’s statistical impossibilities proving beyond all doubt that there was a coordinated effort to hack the election… like how trump flipped 88 counties and Harris flipped zero… and in some counties, after a certain time, suddenly a lot of people voted for trump while voting down the rest of the ballot democrat, which nobody would ever do… especially not coincidentally at the same time…

    sure there’s all that, but the executive branch should have absolute, authoritarian power do do whatever they want and the existing laws should be interpreted to fit that….
    damned activist judges… and george soros somehow too….
