1d2 = 1
If the number above is 1, then the president is BIRD
If the number above is 2, then the president is HEDGEHOG


The LOVECRAFTIAN party has won the most congress seats!!!

What does this mean for the future of our society?!?!??

How can I actually agitate for the decriminalization of lolicon where I live? Like what practical ways are there to even get involved in activism for it?

It's so stupid because I can literally buy a copy of Nabokov's Lolita, or a print of a Balthus painting (I guess because they're considered "classics" and more respected or something,) but if I'd imported Lyrical Nanoha doujins from Japan, I could get several years in prison for the crime of… What??? Buying foreign porn comics???? So far I've been just betting that the law has more important things to do than running around trying to put weebs in jail, but bourgeois policy being what it is, I'd rather oppose the laws altogether.

I think that this is pretty interesting. Also with most of these countries they’re probably mostly just desert of tundra.
Also they are ordered from largest to smallest by how they are ordered next to each other too.

Hey Siberia, does anyone have experience dealing with bailifs who are asking for money in a certain time frame? They want £2000 from me in only three months and they will not go longer thna that. They won't negotiate a plan. Even with my parents helping me I'm going to have to go into overdraft and probably beg for more money from the Benifits people. They said they would repossess my stuff in a week if I didn't pay £600 now, I'm worried about rent as well.

This is all because I am too retarded and was paying £20 a month fines instead of £30 a month. I just didn't realise I was paying too little. The fines office sent the letter about this mistake to my old address then sold the debt to these thugs since I wasn't there to see it and respond. I hate everything to do with these fucking royalist pigs. I despise all of them so much.

Does anyone have advice about where's the best place to e-beg? Should I try mastodon or tumblr? I'm honestly so bad at begging in general it is just not something that comes naturally to me. I think I'll make it through and worst case I can probably live with my mum or live at a comrade's house. But like it really is that easy to just become homeless. These pigs would make me homeless in just a month and then wtf would I do if I didn't have support? And the support is so patchy everyone says they will help and then they don't. It's really scary.

I am writing this at 1Am because I just can't fall asleep, I spent all night tossing and turning in bed (and having sex with your mother obviously).

What even is chronic pain? Why do people who have chronic pain seem so opposed to any sort of cure that isn't medication? They are treated by the doctor who says they need to exercise (because that's how you cure it) and then they complain the doctors are being disabilitophobic. This just feels so unfair compared to everyone else who has real disabilities hindering their movement, like arthiritis for example which young people can get.

I'm saying this because people with chronic pain complain so much online about anyone who asks them to exercise or expects them to use their arms and legs. They say you are being disabilityphobic when you tell them they need to lose weight or they will continue being in pain. My theory is that people with chronic pain are actually mostly just autistic people who were assigned female at birth so were not ever actually told they were autistic and what being autistic is like. They didn't have people to tell them that their senses could get overwhelmed and everything could seem painful when they have bloated fat bodies, so instead they think they are just incapable of doing things. Then they refuse the treatment for the pain which is exercising.

france is better than britain and france also should’ve ruled all of europe too

So we're back with this since the old one died. This is a thread for those among us who use AI generation tools to share and discuss their work because /draw/ is a space for traditional art and there is no point in us intruding on their turf.

As usual, there are some guidelines for everyone posting to follow:

1. If you're sharing any art, preferably only post your own artwork. If you really wish to share someone else's art, always provide sauce to credit the original author.
2. Be willing to explain your process and tools used to others so they too can learn how to make art like you do.
3. Criticism is to be requested by the author, not handed out willy-nilly. Some people just want to share their work, not have it be deconstructed by every armchair critic that comes across it. Be respectful of their wishes.
4. Any work of yours that is posted ITT should meet at least two of the three following criteria:
A) Your work had at least the minimal amount of your own input. This can mean manual edits to generated images, the use of inpainting/outpainting tools, the use of controlnets, and so on. This also means you made an honest effort to check for obvious mistakes such as unwanted visual artifacts or anatomical errors and fix them. Basically as long as your contribution to the piece included more than typing the prompt, it counts.
B) Your work has a specific style to it. This can mean a specific medium like oil painting, black and white ink sketch, a LORA based on a specific artist's style (or even a hybrid of two styles!) and so on. No default shiny "hyperrealistic" anime style please, the internet already has enough of those.
C) Your work made use of tools that were free/open-source when making the piece and you did not willingly give your data/money to owners of proprietary software like OpenAI

Anyway, with all covered. Happy generating!
