CMV: NCIS is Matlock for Boomers
The current Black Helen of Troy psychodrama is culture war rooted in misogyny and racism
Fictional Helen of Troy was hatched from an egg after her fictional God father Zeus transformed into a Swan, anything less than an authentic half-swan half-human actress is inauthentic, no one is complaining about that, just that a black woman is playing the role British and American white male actors are playing fictional Greek characters and speaking English, nobody is complaining about that just that a black woman is playing a half-swan half-human fictional character, it seems white men can get away with playing inauthentic roles but not a black woman We have seen this all before, black woman plays lead in a star wars series, culture war hatemongering expressed as outraged racist, misogynistic psychodrama black woman plays lead in disney movie, culture war hatemongering expressed as outraged racist, misogynistic psychodrama

CMV: Counseling exists because you're right - nobody really likes you or cares about you enough to listen
Basically subject. Counselors are there to be paid to listen to all the embarrassing/relationship damaging thoughts and feelings that your “real” friends ought to bear, but didn’t want to.
A reminder that going forward it's safe to assume that any message coming to you electronically from someone not personally known to you has been AI-generated by someone trying to persuade you to do something, armed with however much of your personal data they could afford to buy.

CMV: AI has warped the minds of those who oppose it just as much as those who use it.
I full expect this post to be very unpopular, despite that fact that it’s being posted in a community that is meant for this exact purpose, but I am noticing a really concerning trend, particularly on the fediverse, where any single iota of a hint of something using AI is condemned, to the point where it’s starting to feel like a witch hunt. Legitimate artists are being disparaged and their work dismissed, all because of the vendetta that some people have against the use of AI. To be clear, I’m not arguing that the use of AI for art is good or ethical, just that those who are ardently against it have created a hostile environment for artists in general, and made it much harder for those who want to try to make art, such that you now feel the need to be completely original, and even then you may be accused of not actually being artist if your art is too “good”. It’s a really sad and disturbing situation. Just for reference, the post that inspired this was as follows: https://vger.to/lemmy.world/post/41071208 [https://vger.to/lemmy.world/post/41071208] Check the top comment, which apparently a lot of people have hopped on board with, despite the organization who made this image explaining on their website the tool they used to it. Apparently no one cares about that though, and even my comment pointing this out has been downvoted. It’s like a fucking cult at this point.

The solar industry is full of parasites because it's easy to sell solar to uneducated customers
Unlike wind and hydro, which require dealing with governments and experts, solar can be sold to anyone with enough money to buy it. This means that there are a ton of scumbags looking to profit off of those who do not know any better by spreading misinformation and, well, any other tactic they can think of to enrich themselves further.
Anime has a bad reputation now because too many people with low standards kept recommending garbage without a second thought.
