    Please do not add genAI images to punch up your writing. You might think that it adds a nice little bit of visual pizazz to your content-marketing piece, but what you’re actually doing is making it look like content marketing rather than a useful resource. To the extent that content marketing is an effective tactic, it is because you build trust with the customer by providing them valuable information. A genAI turd plopped on top of your writing is a signal that it will be worthless slop.









  • So, to condense the article:

    German car industry says:

    We are having a tough time! We’re thinking of closing our German factories, and ending our “We don’t fire people” Guarantee!

    Politicians, please save us by regulating our competitors and exempting us from sales tax on new technologies!

    Why?

    Because our primary source of money before, was selling in China (40% to 50% of earnings), and now Chinese EVs have taken over both China and the local market! So, with our shitty expensive EVs, we can’t compete, and, worst of all, China is buying less from us, so we are losing all that money!

    Opinion:

    German car industry means:

    We kept selling to the most vulnerable market and pocketing innovation money, and now we got out-innovated and that market is no longer vulnerable!

    Please give us tax-money and regulate our competitors away, otherwise we will make a political stink, and throw workers on the street!











  • I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can’t read what runs through their and their friends’ head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period’s political pulse later.

    And I don’t think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.

    If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.



  • Thanks, the thrift idea is probably pretty good. And, as long as something is inside my house, it’s plenty safe, so I don’t worry about that.

    My actual style, slowly is shifting towards a style between punk and hippie that does exist here (we have a couple of… I think in English they’re called squats? Occupations? People take over public buildings for protest, and live in them long term as small semi-communes), with long hair, loose-fitting short sleeved dress shirts, short jeans and piercings.

    To be perfectly honest with you, my masc expression is enjoyable as fuck.

    But, maybe, for that reason, and because of my sense of what non-binary is… This “slight femininity” is not feminine to me. It’s a well balanced, healthy masculinity.

    And I love this part of myself.

    Probably slightly oversharing rant

    And at the same time, I wanna dye the tips of my hair pink. I wanna skirt go spinny. I want the interesting, chaotic, enormous variety that girl clothes have. And dresses. I want a damned nipple piercing, without being scared of how much it shows through clothes. I wanna be able to hug people without feeling self-conscious, either like I’m inappropriate and invading, or like I’m “socially not understanding the rules” and “not acting like a man”.

    So yeah. I’m more struggling with gender roles, than aesthetics themselves. But god knows I’d enjoy playing around with the simple joys of it all, in my home at least.

    Thanks for the recommendations and the site, by the way!
