the ai labeler made this place so much better and I miss it dearly

Two Live Nation Entertainment Inc. executives bragged about the high fees the company charges fans at its venues, joking in internal messages that the company is "robbing them blind" and that "these people are so stupid" that "I almost feel bad taking advantage of them." In a series of chats from 2022, Ben Baker and Jeff Weinhold, two regional directors of ticketing for Live Nation amphitheaters, boasted about their ability to raise so-called "ancillary fees" - like parking, lawn chair rentals and VIP access - and still get concertgoers to pay for them. In one exchange, Weinhold gloated about raising VIP parking costs at a Virginia concert venue to $250. "These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them," Baker wrote, adding later, "I gouge them on ancil prices."

Oh.

It's about addictive game design (yess!!) And predatory monetization (fuck yessss!!)

My Dad is Dracula (and a Guillotine) 🔪 #webcomics #art

The system works as the system is designed.

A broken, blue heart

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

I cannot stress this enough. If you don't use AI, the elite are on track to lose a shitton of money.

Ignore AI content, don't use it, mock it, mock other people who use it. Show zero tolerance.

i have to go to work today instead of playing Pokopia

Proud of my friend for Gandalfing the fascists away.

Panel 1: A text box reads, "Behold. The common house cat." Below it, an orange cat with large eyes sits calmly. Panel 2: A text box reads, "Yet, there is nothing common about her." The same cat is shown with an intense expression. Panel 3: The cat is depicted outside at night, walking on a rooftop while a person sleeps peacefully in bed. The text box reads, "While you slumber peacefully, she roams about..." Panel 4: The cat sits in front of a computer screen with a button labeled "EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE." The text box reads, "Quietly toppling the world order." The cat's paw is poised over the button.

once shonen anime fans learn that Indian blockbusters are just pure hype and aura moments for 3 hours at a time we’re gonna start seeing Prabhas and Yash shirts at spencers gifts

Hey, so my landlord is starting up their shit again so I'm back in contact with my lawyer to counter their still-illegal harassment of me and my family.
I'm linking my Pay_Pal in the comments in case they decide to take us to court to help cover fees while I fight them.
Any help is appreciated. <3

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

this is, all else being equal, easily the funniest thing the director of inside out could have said

hey look a fun history lesson!

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.

This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.

Friendly reminder that if you follow Nazi-Lite ideology then you REALLY don't want to meet me irl.

this really feels like the last days of social media, because if/when this place goes to hell I don't have another jump left in me.

I -just- woke up, what the fuck do you MEAN the creator of Chikn Nuggit has had to quit because BUZZFEED IS GOING TO FEED HER WORK INTO AI!?

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

The ship that the US torpedoed in international waters, whose crew was left to drown (already a war crime) was unarmed & participating in multinational exercises, & the US knew it would be there because they had been invited to the exercises before they attacked.

The enemies of peace & humanity.
