Would that be a disassociation?

Brain's taking the joke too seriously and trying to imagine what divorcing yourself would entail

YMMV but I've been fine with the over the counter urethral-tampons available at most pharmacies and gas stations. The applicators can be a pain though and you gotta remember that unlike female tampons, you should leave these in as long as possible to avoid medical complications.

Wait, is it inherently bad for an artist to self-insert? Isn't that one of the key ways they share their perspective? If there's some bizarre strawman-ing or self-aggrandizing going on it can problematic but the general idea of an artist self-inserting themselves or their ideas into their work seems fine to me.

This was the discussion on a recent post, which seems to be deleted now, about "AI" art on beer cans in the Mildly Infuriating community.

It's really upsetting how much art is now seen as AI looking when AI art only looks that way cause it was trained on great art. Anything stylized, slightly sepia, realistically shaded, etc etc, automatically assumed to be AI when some people have trained decades to develop this style themselves, but now it's just slop style

Looking at Gen-Z protests around the world, it's kinda already started, though the success rate/level in each case may be an issue. But yeah, for the US specifically I've been amazed things haven't really escalated to the same level yet outside of maybe Jan 6 and even that was running in the wrong direction

It sucks that so many art styles just seems AI now even though most likely AI art was trained on them to look that way. I have pictures I printed and laminated years ago for work related things and people have frequently insisted that they are AI... These give me the same vibe
