Not gonna lie, I want whoever's making these avatars to do a tutorial because I've been unable to get these AI image generators to output anything that didn't look like garbage. Do folks just generate thousands and pick through the poo poo haystack for a handful that manage to look decent?

They're hand painted. It's even more insane than anyone thought.

All the avatars have led me to conclude she took control of the Empire and is on her way to Earth with the Imperial Navy.

Yeah those of you interested in getting busy with AI image stuff you should check out that thread. I've folded Stable Diffusion into my ~professional workflow~ and it's cool and good. These Hillary avatars are relatively easy to make, though the multiple fingers thing is a scrub move :colbert:

What sort of jobs do people have where they can spend hundreds of dollars on JPEGs without any concern for their livelihoods? I did eventually sign up for the Goon Fund, but even still, what sort of comfy lives are other people having, and how can I get in on that?

In my very limited exposure, the tankies I've met have all been slightly above middle class, in the sense that they haven't actually wanted for anything and have plenty. Might be tied to why they are chuds at heart, with a sort of cheapness about their psyche in the same way that the 'wealthy' people I've met are universally the cheapest ones as well when it comes to dollars.

If it's like those types, then they are just dumb.

Sorry :(

You just need a handful of millennials with a fat inheritance to "rebel" against their parents by staking out ludicrous tankie positions.

Wait does that mean the Bolsheviks were wrong for waging War against the White Russians

It's a well-known fact that Stalin's greatest crime was fighting back against the Nazis. Why didn't he simply accept Hitler's terms and give peace a chance?

And in case there are some people who wish to use this as evidence of pro-facism in GBS...

This is an example of something called 'sarcasm'.

People who would spend the money don't have concern for a variety of reasons. A lot of those reasons aren't very good.

drat, I was kinda hoping that having a bunch of disposable money wasn't a matter of winning the Being Born into a Well Off Family lottery, but ah well. Thanks for the responses. :byetankie:

edit: I haven't really posted in this thread in a while, and I just noticed my new avatar text(?). My whole point with my recent posts is that is that I'm poor as poo poo and spending a lot on my own medical needs and that of my own ailing family members, and even if I had the money to spare, it's still inconceivable to me to spend money on frivolous poo poo like this instead of like helping people affected by war lol.

They also have this insufferable gaslighting rear end tone - 'everyone thinks this thread is insane, they're laughing at you just out of frame'

Often accompanied by a few other posters who'll really gently affirm them, like they're trying to pretend to have been thread regulars all along.

It's actually America's fault in the first place by implementing the oil embargo and giving Japan no other option, you see
