The comic shows different scenes of the daily routine of what is depicted as a normal man. He leaves his home, goes to work, shops for groceries, etc. In every scene he is thinking of his cat as a β€œloaf”. In the last scene, he finally is back home from his day, with his cat loafing on his lap

She should that cat deserves fan mail

She never scratched, bitten or even hissed at anyone.

She follows me like a puppy She has never thrown any object of the shelves

Never eaten human food (I left sushi on the table once overnight and she did not even look at it.

She only eats from her bowl.

Once a firefly entered the house, it looked like a laser pointer, but the instant she realized it was a living bug, she stopped trying to catch it and looked at it with curiosity and kindness.

She has an automatic litterbox that sometimes gets stuck so when that happens and she needs to relieve herself she uses the bathtub, a bit gross, but literally the easiest place in the house to clean.

She is absolutely the most perfect cat, this is unnatural, she is a messianic figure, A cat had a chance to literally catch the laser pointer and she choose peace is some biblical prophecy thing

Every cat owner has a complaint, like she pisses on the plants, or starches the furniture.. NOT this one, the worse she has ever done is fart if I change her food to one that isn't good for her.

Thats a great kittycat :-)

My 2 cats are bullies to others :-( They terrorized the 3rd cat we had because they were jealous (can't share their humans with someone else, no sir). They are from Serbia, and i started calling them our serbian mafia when they did this.

When i moved out i took them with me, and since then they are very much better behaved as long as they get all the cuddling and playing they want - but if i dare to refuse because i am occupied with something else, they start misbehaving, throwing things from the couch table and stuff like that to get my attention - as soon as they get pet with my full attention while lounging on me for 10-15 minutes (during the day thats about the time of one cuddling session per cat - they want their pets every 2-3 hours) they start behaving again.

They know what they want and they are NOT willing to compromise lol

Everything is slop now because the term has lost all meaning. If you can't tell if something"is slop", then by literal definition it is not slop, but you can't/won't accept that, therefore everything is now slop.

Stop nitpicking artists for the tools they've used, and just enjoy their creations already without the compulsive need to label it.

In the US basically everyone has it because of pork.

It has this fascinating life cycle, but industrialized farming and food safety kinda makes it moot.

it's basically pork herpes

t. gondii is one of the most common parasitic infections in humans, not the most common human disease.

there are typically no symptoms, but when the symptoms do show up in humans, they're along the lines of swollen lymph nodes.

there's no credible evidence of it resulting in humans changing their behaviour towards cats, which makes sense, since we're a biological dead-end for toxoplasmosis. there'd be no benefit for the parasite to change our behaviour.

I feel the same way about paper. The corpse of a living being as your canvas? How despicably morbid. Definitely the modus operandi of tools. Fuck paper "canvas." I call those abominations: corpse-slop.

And don't get me started on the losers who think they can make art with computers. Do you know how much electricity those use? Not to mention all the pirating of media - someone making "art" with a computer probably based it off something they stole online, so it's not even original. I call those losers' attempts: electro-slop.

Everyone knows true artists use sticks that fell off a tree to make art in the dirt. That's the only way to make real art. And if they used their eyes to see anything else that anyone else made before they used their twig, then it's not original art. Then it's copy-slop.

It's nice to finally meet a fellow real artist, who takes gatekeeping art very seriously, like I do. What type of branches do you prefer to use, what's your favorite type of soil, and what do you like to use as a blindfold, to make sure you don't accidentally make any copy-slop?

Edit: Oh, and don't you just love that feeling, as a fellow art gatekeeper, when someone shows you something that they made but they didn't use the tools or methods that you approve of, so you get to you say to their face: "That's not art, you loser, you just made slop!" Being an art gatekeeper is the best!

Art takes human effort and creativity. And of course there are multiple mediums, AI just isn't one of them. I'm not gatekeeping anything, just stating fact. I'm sorry you have zero talent and rely on stealing others work to pass off as your own.

Yes, and as we all know, there is no human involved when AI is used. The computer spontaneously has an idea, specifies all the details, reviews the results, tweaks them, and continues refinement until the computers own vision is achieved. It does this by sketching the work of others who have already created what it wants; and because all art that can be created, has already been created, this is possible solely through theft. The computers final output is a replica of someone else's art, and at no point is a person involved in the process.

I am also stating facts, fellow art gatekeeper.

I can see how an enhanced sister existing would be a boon to your process. Especially if she owns a Jell-O mould. Doubly so if she has a Go Pro, or possibly even two... πŸ€” You just might be on the verge of inventing several new categories of quality adult entertainment.

Who is arguing? I am simply reaffirming the unassailable truth that you spout, as only a true art gatekeeper can. Only we can decide what is art, and what is not, and a computer stealing art by making duplicates of existing art, without any human input whatsoever, is definitely not art.

....You never did tell me what sticks you prefer to use, what kind of sand, and how you blindfold yourself... I'm beginning to suspect you're not actually an artist. You probably make electro-slop, right?

Absolutely not. My cat violently rubs his cheeks on me and rams me with his forehead in attempts to kill me. At night he tries to strangle me and holds me down. He even tries to claw me to death from under the bathroom door when I'm in there then acts like he's done nothing when I get out.

It was an open question. I've seen a good amount of owners of animals where the animal seemed to be more in a forced captivity aka they're bolting out that door whenever they get a chance and not coming back.

If it made us like cats more there would be a higher chance of cats becoming more prevalent, which would be good for the parasite yes? So there could be some evolutionary pressure there. Not that I'm saying it has actually happened, but theoretically it might be advantageous.

evolutionary pressure happens over generations and via sexual reproduction, as far as i'm aware. humans are a biological dead-end for toxoplasma, there's no way for t gondii to "learn" that there'd be any benefit to changing human behaviour, let alone how to do so.
