I like having the right to exist within society 🥺

Although to be fair, I do miss the Usenet & IRC days. It felt so easy to connect with people on a personal level back when the Internet was less crowded. Much less arguing, and much more being excited to be there.

Please enjoy each comment equally

I write them by hand though 🥺

Not a single smartphone in sight.

Just a plane living in the moment.

Good take.

Don’t hate the tools, hate what capitalism turns them into and uses them for.

Reminds me of the old panic that photography would be the death of painters. It was shortly followed by an all time boom in art and creativity as painters tried new things and moved on from photorealism.

There’s still so much room left for human art and artists even in a post-AI world, as long as we keep rejecting the slop and supporting actual artists. Then maybe new art forms will emerge. Who knows!

Just a quickie to mention I’ve opened two new communities :

• !smugideologyman@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• !coaxedintoasnafu@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Maybe you’ll enjoy them. Maybe not. But they’re here now anyway. See ya!

Thanks!

I’ll try that next time, we’ll see how it goes.

It’s actually multiple small comics on one common theme.

Would assembling them vertically be the preferred format here?

So people would rather downvote than tell me I’m doing it wrong and teach me the right way?

Sorry but I haven’t been on Lemmy for long, and I have not yet seen a multipanel comic in this community.

What’s the correct procedure, placing image tags in the description field, where I placed the transcript?

My apologies for “advertising” for a website that has no ads, tracks no user data, and sells nothing.

And I thought I was the smug one.

I did, hope you enjoy! 🥰

Exactly!

Then you will gain the ability to experience timeless masterpieces of top tier artistry such as this one:

(hang it in the Louvre already)

For now there’s close to a hundred smuggies on my bluesky.

Whenever I stop being lazy, hundreds of older ones will appear on thebad.website aka bad-drawings.com aka the most honest domain name on the internet :)

Glad to know you like them!

Bonus older related smuggie:

I’m not sure “I know one factory personally” is the gotcha you think it is.

European luxury brands are the worst when it comes to dealing with forced labor, and that includes a recent notorious case of a sweatshop in Italy.

Congrats to your buddy though. But the issue is systemic.

This is only true if you are willing to ignore/overlook the constant scandals regarding luxury brands and work conditions.

I am silly and I love you.
