MILWAUKEE is super cool

I lived in MKE it’s super chill there! very good coffee shops and live music scene is cool. however, I’m from Minneapolis and I loved it while I was there. The art, music, nature, people, and cost of living is solid.

Moving to minneapolis from a coastal city

I moved from Los Angeles to Minneapolis last summer, and it‘s one of the best decisions I‘ve ever made. My husband is from here so I got to know it on visits to see family. There‘s art, good food, and houses half the price of comps in LA. Life is way more convenient (even with the snow). It actually does take 20 minutes max to get across town, unlike the woefully inaccurate LA in Clueless. Plus, Minnesota is slated to be a climate haven in the near future.

WHY THO?

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours? I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy. Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

Tbh, i mostly hate the re-rec feature

Maybe this isn’t so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I don’t want the “Everyone” feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-rec’d isn’t even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN. My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
