gonna work it all out
After I graduated from comp sci with big dreams of working in game dev, the only job I was able to find after a year of unemployment during the lockdowns was as a consultant at an investment banking firm and when I say it was soul-crushing that's not an exaggeration. Not quite on the same level as working on killing machines but I couldn't stand it, went back to school to pursue art.
The kicker? It's easy to get a job with a comp sci degree where I live. The military is understaffed. A STEM degree will get you fast-tracked with bonus pay into a cushy intelligence officer or analyst desk job with a pension, benefits, and if you're still able to sleep at night after a couple years that's not a hard pivot into the private sector.
I've been told by career military folks that I should just enlist when I was broke and desperate for a job, like it was obvious and like that knowledge wasn't already haunting me.
I know what it's like to make the wrong call when faced with that choice and I'm never doing that again, but it's made me reflect a lot on the kinds of compromises the system we live in forces upon us.
god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world

I am in the midst of a move to a new city and state that is much safer for me as a trans woman.
My partner died a few months ago, i found her body in the apartment where we built a life together for the past 5 years and i had to leave after that, ive had the good fortune to have somewhere to stay, with a change in administration and a difficult past year it's time to move to somewhere new.
I am looking to raise $3,800 to help facilitate this move to a safer, and healthier place for me to start grief counseling. I also have car repairs I need to do in order to continue working and also funds to take my cat to the vet. I also need funds for necessities like groceries and medical care as well
anything helps, if you can spare it

Even if you're a selfish piece of shit and hate workers and human creativity you should still avoid character AIs; they exist exclusively to harvest your data to sell to anyone willing to pay for it.
If they tell you they're not doing it they're lying.
If you hate AI stealing from artists, if you hate AI stealing from musicians, if you hate AI from stealing from voice actors amd God, if you hate AI stealing from writers then stop using Character AIs.
Don't be so two-faced on where you stand in this fight.
A character design I'm working on! Fishing themed <33
