Aw thank you so much! 😃 I’m glad you like them! Currently working on a huge drawing that’s gonna take a while!

I have an art blog on Tumblr, but might create a side blog where I post photos of my travels while talking about the places I’ve been to! 😃

I wouldn’t say there’s any reliable AI image detectors out there. I’ve seen AI image detectors label Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night as AI.

Actions do have consequences. Trying to erase posts and people calling you out for what you did and explaining why those actions are bad does not make those things that you did go away and is honestly a bad look. If you don’t want people on social media calling you a Nazi, there’s a really easy solution for that - don’t do Nazi salutes on live TV, don’t make Nazi puns instead of apologizing, and don’t keep regurgitating anti-semetic conspiracy theories like the “great replacement” conspiracy theory.

The claim that the salute has its origins in ancient Rome is dubious at best and ignores the fact that the salute is immediately associated with Nazism. Not a single Roman work of art depicts the salute. Don’t you think that’s a little fishy? There is evidence that it actually originated from the National Fascist Party, under Mussolini. Suffice to say there’s no good evidence that it originated from ancient Rome as opposed to it being a relatively new thing starting from the turn of the 20th century and originating in fascism.

Hitler also did it. The only difference was that Elon Musk did so with more vigour. If he didn’t mean to make a Nazi salute, why did he respond with Nazi puns rather than apologizing?

This varies a lot by individual, but I have a Newgrounds account and I post to the forums that are there too!

I had my colour vision tested and I was able to pick out hues that would apparently look exactly the same to most people. To me they looked very distinct, but I was told that to most people, those hues would look exactly the same to one another.

I typically group colours by vibes and warmth and I don’t normally shade white with grey, but with a warm or cool colour!

I don’t know if this counts, but I’m getting ready to travel the world. I’ve got so many countries across different continents marked down that I want to visit, I just need to get my passport! 😅

Australia! 😃

Not all that surprising that Canadians are especially pissed off. Didn’t he say Canada isn’t a real country and then he deleted the Tweet afterwards? Yes he did…

Freedom of speech, eh? Guess I’m banned if they find out about this account or my Bluesky account.

Thank you! 😃 Any beaches you recommend?

I’m one of the 36%. With ICE, the US being more hostile in general, and questionable aviation safety, I’ve changed my destination from California to Australia.

I received my fourth message from this person this morning! My current theories are it’s either a pig-butchering scam, or the person who is behind all the accounts is a person who is obessed with the girl in the pictures and is trying to dox her out of revenge or something. I ran the pictures through TinEye and Google Reverse Image Search, but nothing came up. The slight motion blur suggests they are screenshots of video calls, multiple video calls given that her clothing keeps changing between pictures.

Whatever the intentions are, I’m sure they’re not good because someone mentioned that one of the Nicole accounts posted a picture of a buttplug, and in the photo, people could clearly see an old, balding white man reflecting off of it, and when people pointed this out, the account owner deleted it.

Darn. I guess this means me making a Reddit account to confess that Luigi was my first videogame character crush ever is out of the question.

Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! 😃

Honestly, same. It’s still really surreal to me.

I was planning on travelling to California to meet a good friend of mine. I explained that I’ve had to change plans amist…well, all this, and my friend said something along the lines of “I don’t blame you, I wouldn’t even consider visiting this country for the next 4 years”.

Pretty much.
