Already answered this question above. You know as an entrepreneur and PhD candidate, I take what's left of my time away to make these (and I'm willing to make longer and specific ones, don't get me wrong!), but I don't have to be making these videos at all...but I figured I'd take requests so please remember to be kind even while joking around

An entrepreneur?

[FUME5]

He's not royalfat so I'm not completely across the nothing loud lore, I just have him down as a sloppy liposuctioned and rhinoplastied narcissist with a penchant for couples therapy and liking his poly partners to be young and desperate so they are beholden to him.

Am I missing anything?

You make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why. - Batman Forever (1995)

Most of trans era is too heartbroken by a) the situation surrounding Eden’s forced detransition and death and b) the lack of interest by era’s cis members in reading this thread or responding to it.

If you read the thread and don’t know what to say or how to respond, at least post that transphobia is wrong.

Just that much would at least help the trans members of the forum feel like the entire world isn’t against them. Seeing this thread fall off the first page of results within a day never to be seen again feels as threatening and dehumanizing as the news itself.

I cannot believe how clueless RE is to believe this shit.

“Pay attention to us.”

“But don’t say anything that contradict our point of view. Empty platitudes is good enough.” 

TransEra are a bunch of narcissistic psychos that somehow brainwashed an entire forum in believing that pampering them is somehow good for their mental health.

I never saw the thread until now, but thank you for bumping it. This is fucked up beyond anything I could really put words towards.

RIP Eden, you deserved better

Jesus, how pathetic…

But hey, I agree that Eden deserved better than using her death to get her psycho friends some internet points.

I don't pay much attention to the console fanboys but this has to be a whole new level of desperate -

Its kinda highkey brilliant that Nintendo deliberately placed themselves a generation behind their contemporaries, huh?

That "I've lost my patience with graphics this gen" thread as well "the Nintendo ninjas got em" thread has me thinking and damn, it's kinda genius that they did this.

I know on an enthusiast forum like this it might not be popular but man there's a ton of upside.
Allows 3P to familiarize themselves with the technology, allows refinements to be made to processors, shaders and other tech, prices cheapen and then they basically hand off all the growing pains to Sony/Microsoft and 3P.

I'm seeing in that thread(not a tech guy at all) people calling out better tech(lumens vs rtx) and if they stay a gen behind, it'll probably be the better side of that kind of debate that they'll take advantage of when they finally do move up to something like parity.

Of course I know everyone doesn't have this luxury as everyone isn't a first party focused ecosystem but man, I gotta give a head nod to doing what works best for you.

Thoughts?

So I've heard that thing about her saying that buying her products = agreeing with her. But I've not seen the actual quote for that and I've been trying to look for it for a while now. Closest I've found is the wiping away tears with her royalty checks but that's still not the same thing.

[Yulwei]

so…. its come to this.

frankly, ive given up.

ive been a part of this community since neogaf

some of you may remember when i was 21 asking for advice on pursuing my career as a chef.

i did that thanks to everyone who helped me get there in this community.

i moved to chicago, i worked in michelin restaurants, was eventually the sous to a james beard winner, went on to be a pastry chef and cdc of a one michelin restaurant myself.

covid changed everything. i lost my one michelin position, the highest ive ever gotten, and since then i have not been able to find my footing.

i work in a bakery now. barely pulling $1200 a paycheck, working 50 hour weeks, my shift’s starting at 3am (sometimes earlier). no benefits whatsoever. working as a sous so i dont even get to make my own work anymore. i make fucking chocolate cake and cinnamon buns and thats about it. my skills go to waste.

i have no motivation to be here. my career has gone stagnant. moving to a new city isnt an option as i cant afford the move. a career pivot isnt an option either as i have no degree or experience with anything but cooking/pastry. i blew the last of my minuscule savings on doing a popup with hopes doing my own work would push me to where i want to go since a lot of chefs have been doing that and it flopped. i have 5k credit card debt i cant catch up on because my rent is too high and whats left is split into so many bills im lucky to have anything left for food, maybe the occasional cup of coffee or pastry. my finances only get worse as time goes on. my credit has tanked too. i cant get on unemployment as i was unemployed after losing my job and that exhausted my benefits as i tried to find a new job that could pay rent. im out of options.

i am constantly consumed by anxiety about my circumstances. pair this with the fact that i have severe ptsd from childhood trauma, being raped as an adult, being abused in relationships. i isolate myself because its easier. i find very little meaning in anything anymore. i dont have parents so i cant go home, recover mentally, maybe pivot, then start over. im stuck on my own and feeling helpless.

i keep trying to find reasons to be here. to stay. “people love you” isnt enough.

i watch people around me working 9 to 5, making twice or three times the salary, having weekends off to live their life. and all i can think is i chose the wrong career. i thought if i worked long hours, pushed hard, i would some day get to where i can have that too but thats never going to happen. i wanted to open my own dessert bar and that was it but as the years have gone on, ive lost hope entirely. i will never get there and even if i do, it wont give me the life i want. i dont think being a chef was ever going to. i was naive thinking i could do something with this. i made dumb choices thinking i knew better and could push myself to make my dreams happen by taking risks and those risks only cost me. i am pretty fucking dumb.

so i dont know what im posting this for.
i expect ill get dogpiled for my naivety.
maybe im posting to feel less alone? i dont know.
idk what else to do but spew my guts on the internet.
im so tired, everyone. i just want to sleep. i’m sorry.

If you end up reading this Bento I always thought you were cool and don't want you to kys. We're all getting older and that can create feelings of isolation if our social circles shrink while the world feels like it's passing us by, ERA can magnify those feelings by bathing you in negativity and aggression.

Despite the snickering comments here and the, rarely, outright bigotry, the Bore is a much more positive community despite the fascist mods banning Filler once a year.

Can confirm her resume is impressive, overqualified people end up working shit jobs all the time though, usually due to personal circumstances. I ain't talked to Bento in a few years so I dunno what's going on day to day for her to be stuck in that job. Chicago being the major restaurant town it is, hard to imagine she'd be unable to find a better opportunity eventually.

i have no motivation to be here. my career has gone stagnant. moving to a new city isnt an option as i cant afford the move. a career pivot isnt an option either as i have no degree or experience with anything but cooking/pastry. i blew the last of my minuscule savings on doing a popup with hopes doing my own work would push me to where i want to go since a lot of chefs have been doing that and it flopped. i have 5k credit card debt i cant catch up on because my rent is too high and whats left is split into so many bills im lucky to have anything left for food, maybe the occasional cup of coffee or pastry. my finances only get worse as time goes on. my credit has tanked too. i cant get on unemployment as i was unemployed after losing my job and that exhausted my benefits as i tried to find a new job that could pay rent. im out of options.

i am constantly consumed by anxiety about my circumstances. pair this with the fact that i have severe ptsd from childhood trauma, being raped as an adult, being abused in relationships. i isolate myself because its easier. i find very little meaning in anything anymore. i dont have parents so i cant go home, recover mentally, maybe pivot, then start over. im stuck on my own and feeling helpless.

i keep trying to find reasons to be here. to stay. “people love you” isnt enough.

i watch people around me working 9 to 5, making twice or three times the salary, having weekends off to live their life. and all i can think is i chose the wrong career. i thought if i worked long hours, pushed hard, i would some day get to where i can have that too but thats never going to happen. i wanted to open my own dessert bar and that was it but as the years have gone on, ive lost hope entirely. i will never get there and even if i do, it wont give me the life i want. i dont think being a chef was ever going to. i was naive thinking i could do something with this. i made dumb choices thinking i knew better and could push myself to make my dreams happen by taking risks and those risks only cost me. i am pretty fucking dumb.

so i dont know what im posting this for.
i expect ill get dogpiled for my naivety.
maybe im posting to feel less alone? i dont know.
idk what else to do but spew my guts on the internet.
im so tired, everyone. i just want to sleep. i’m sorry.

idk how you can work for a james beard winner and then be indefinitely stuck in a shit job in chicago of all places. it sounds like she has some personality problems that make her hard to hire, but I hope things get better for her. her baking posts inspired me to try out some recipes for like a day until I got tired of it.

The Eden tragedy is essentially what these right-wing activists are working toward, just with different religions and governments involved.

Yup, it's their ultimate goal. Forcibly detransition us and force us back in the closet, or kill ourselves before they kill us.

Thing is, some of these changes are permanent. They're not gonna just "go away", we don't just go back into the closet and become cis again. We'll still be othered until we're killed. And they want that.

[Greatness Gone]

the fact that they are incorporating a real person's suffering (and unique circumstances unlikely to be the norm for trans people) into their ongoing dystopian fantasy is sickening. none of these people are citizens of saudi arabia or under the threat of the American government forcibly de-transitioning them.

People in the bento thread legitimately trying to get her in touch with people who might be able to help her out is a rare bright spot in the Era community--no idea if they'll actually be able to help, but it's people actually involving themselves and their contacts to help which beats 95% of era threads.

so…. its come to this.

frankly, ive given up.

ive been a part of this community since neogaf

some of you may remember when i was 21 asking for advice on pursuing my career as a chef.

i did that thanks to everyone who helped me get there in this community.

i moved to chicago, i worked in michelin restaurants, was eventually the sous to a james beard winner, went on to be a pastry chef and cdc of a one michelin restaurant myself.

covid changed everything. i lost my one michelin position, the highest ive ever gotten, and since then i have not been able to find my footing.

If his resume is that impressive and he's in Chicago, there would be a million restaurants that would roll the red carpet out. I don't mean that to come off as snarky either

It's Horse Detective's fault for broadcasting their relationship on GAF all those years ago. Background checks are tough to beat these days. Also, the thread is gone?

Dora? As in The Explorer? Or some other Dora, I just looked at her IMDB and don’t see anything about Dora?

Totally thought she played the lead in the movie. LOL. I see I was very wrong.

That's cause Bento spent, what... a decade now, building good will among users of GAF and then ERA and didn't treat that message board as anything but a message board. She didn't use GAF/ERA as a base for activism or bully users into silence and compliance. Community building SHOULD look like this, where someone can spill their emotional guts at their darkest moments and people will have actual constructive conversations that may even include challenging your initial assumptions.

Your argument is currently “these things are tangentially related so everything concerning AI is ok despite how meany issues a worldwide audience have with B”

And that brings me to the very next question. Can you actually shut up? Followed by, do you not have th self awareness to stop “well actually”ing the collective worldview concerning a topic involving a specific subset of jobs you don’t fucking work in? SHUT. UP. Fucking hell. No seriously, how many times do I have to tell the calvacade circlejerk of AI chuds which you're apart of mind you that I don't give a fuck about your opinion. Stop fucking talking to me about my own goddamn profession and the theoretical benefits of your "well I, uncreatively, just steal this art and press this button. because I have no fucking artistic voice.." Stay in your fucking lane. It's so fucking easy to not fucking gaslight people. Like deadass so fucking easy to shut up instead of going "Well actually i'm doing you guys a favor aren't I making your job easier" Stop talking dude. I am telling you. I do NOT consent to this fucking discussion because this is not a debate. I do not consent to me, who corrently works in my work field on the fucking daily and the many people who spent just as many years training as I did to work having their job replaced by a button click. I do not consider the fucking shit you're stanning to be a favor to us nor even to TO YOU. Because I don't give a flying fuck about the voice of fake artists. Shut up. And fucking listen. Stop talking to me.

And frankly as a POC, doubly shut up and stop quoting outdated laws to me. You keep including "Well actually the laws say" as if that's a gotha.

I really hope AI can figure out a way to punch this cunt in the throat.

The truth is: Projects will be done quicker.  Bigger projects will be able to be tackled with fewer people, diversifying talent across a company.  Projects that are prohibitively expensive will now be in reach. Things that used to take 5 years will now take 3.  The frontier for what's possible will now expand.  And people all across the globe will now more easily contribute.  Coding jobs will transform in nature and mode but will still be well-paying jobs.   But, I rather enjoy this person panicking, so don't tell them that.

I understand the plight of artists who are afraid that "AI" will at some point supplant them in the thing they get paid for but I also don't understand why most of these people have such limited imagination as to believe the workflow is going to be practically that different, even if substantively it is unrecognizable.

I'm already using GPT APIs in my workflow and all it's done is improve my productivity.

yeah at some point we're just going to be able to ask AI to solve some complex issue that has been unsolved for centuries and due to its ability to collate and draw conclusions between all known information it'll be like "oh yeah just do this"
