   No, they're just not pandering to children who can't help themselves.

   I really don't know why people refuse to look things up. And I don't understand how the parent's comment isn't off-topic and unnecessary and pedantic and mine apparently is. This place is a goddamn cesspool.

    Not paying attention on the train, even in 2025 girliepop-influencer-Instragram-latte-art New York, is not the smartest. You're probably better off during rush hour, but being aware of your surroundings is never a bad idea, even in &qu

    This is how transplants get mugged, but okay. Why not just enjoy your hour of zen instead of constantly working?

    You and I both know this is a disingenuous argument. You're not saying "Hey, Stickerbox. Choose a nice font for me." You're saying: "Hey, Stickerbox, write the entire book for me." Try again, please.

    How much does food and electricity cost you (if the electricity is even on for you at all)? Also, uh, this isn't high school anymore, and the "nerds vs. jocks" framing says a lot more about your own internal state than it doe

    Why learn to draw when the slop machine will make images for you? Why learn to write when the slop machine will make stories for you? Why learn an instrument when the slop machine will make music for you? This does nothing but kill actual c

    The entire point of being creative is that you actually MAKE it yourself, not that you tell the slop machine to make it for you. This is, quite frankly, the complete and total opposite of creativity. This is pure consumption disguised as cr
