True or not, why would anyone trust they can negotiate with this administration? The one thing they are consistent about is lying.

I'm old enough to remember when we were told we would be 'greeted as liberators' in Iraq. We finally got out of there with little to show for it and we can't even go 5 years without starting to delude ourselves into the same war with Iran.

The real question is, does Disney actually want to stop them? Or do they want to bloody MJ up enough that they can aquire them on the cheap?
As much as they want to protect their IP, I have no doubt they want to get their hands on the tech for themselves.

It's the inevitable reaction to ever increasing use of dangerous 'less lethal' devices. No provocation is required to get a rubber bullet to the head, so protesters are going to take the precautions required to protect themselves.

We're going to have a long list of dems to primary into oblivion.

I used to do that. Some cleaning solutions can help with the fog. Now for spraying nasty stuff, I got a dedicated pair of small safety frames that fit under my goggles or face shield. Cheap plastic frames with a good amount of flex, ideally without nose pads because they will squish your face.

It was bad enough when they were screwing their employees, now they don't even do it to completion.

I wonder why they are acquiring the talent but skipping the product. Packaging Autograph in Maxon One could have been huge.

And these same ghouls will cry "class warfare" everytime anybody even suggests taxing the rich more.

Important to note: in 2020 in MN, Walz was directing the Guard and was a guardsman himself. So he had a good understanding of what they are trained for and what situations not to put them in. Leadership without that experience could easily create more volatile situations.

Idk man, maybe the DNC perfected whatever lib super serum they used to make Pete Buttigieg.

It's ruining everything. I was looking for info for writing a C4D script. Google's AI response hallucinated a command that doesn't exist. Then I find a YouTube video that's just an AI reading a nearly identical hallucinated answer from ChatGPT. They are flooding out good info with crap.

How many bankruptcies did Mussolini have? Because I guarantee it's rookie numbers in comparison.

That one's perfect because it also reflects how incompetent the people developing it are and how eager the corporation is to unleash it on the public regardless of consequences.

They pride themselves on hiring incompetent people too. The whole administration is a parade of washups and rejects.

To be fair, between the two of them, the AI is the only one that doesn't want to be a Nazi.

Famously MTG refrains from judgement because that's up to God to do.

Hopefully your country understands that liberals would rather lose to fascists than win with leftists. Centrists liberals are not capable of stopping a right wing fascist movement.
My country still hasn't learned that.

Fwiw, I feel that keeping someone's work alive and available for people to discover is the best tribute you can give to an artist. It's why I continue to cite him as a major source of inspiration.

This is the final stage of enshitification, where even our own ability to think and process information is degraded in the service of profit.

There's slap fighting. They just take turns hitting each other in the head until someone falls over.

Have you considered getting involved with whatever obscure sport is more violent than MMA?
Maybe you have to start at the beginning and be the least funny cast member of a sitcom.

It's good to know who this kid will vote for in 2032 when he's old enough to vote for POTUS. I was really wondering.

Cancer is sneaky, crewl, and sometimes incredibly quick. It snuck up on my friend, age 40. By the time he knew he was sick, it was too late to even slow it down. He was gone within 6 weeks.
Cancer sucks

I have my own version of Moore's Law, where the complexity and scope of your 3D work will always grow to overtake the hardware you have available.

Also, the root of this is equipment failures from underfunded infrastructure. AI can't magically see where planes are without radar. It's adding another point of tech failure instead of addressing the ones they have.

Reclaim the term Luddite. They were the OG's of fighting enshitification and capitalists.

This sort of thing will always happen. Some artists cut corners, you try to weed them out, but they can't all be caught. ADs and CDs reviewing work don't have the entire catalog of the internet memorized. They won't catch it all when it does happen. The best they can do is fix.

I think for many of us, this becomes a question of who puts the party apparatus and status quo ahead of making changes that are needed to keep the party and country healthy. Everyone carrying water for Biden when it was obvious he shouldn't run again screwed us out of a real primary.

I think you can both blame him for his piss poor handling of that and the ramifications, but also recognize weaponizing the DOJ to criminalize social posts of their critics is something we shouldn't wish on anyone because it could easily be us next.

I want to know what he thinks the new term is for things you get at a grocery store. A true journalist would ask him this question at every opportunity until he answers.

Even if you believed this. How is gifting a $400 million defense department asset to a presidental library not unethical? Could Joe Biden gift his library Marine One? Is it going to sit in a parking lot next to the library, or is it going to be used to fly around private individuals?

Continuing to attempt to seize the house fits a pattern where LE will double down on going on the offense when they are clearly in the wrong. It keeps victims of their mistakes on the back foot and makes them more likely to accept settlements favorable to the government.

The thing about the Overton window is it doesn't work that well with personal material realities. If you lose your job or can't get your kids christmas gifts, it doesn't really matter to you what is considered 'normal'. You just know the status quo sucks.

Fwiw, I would support the heck out of a parody games magazine that ripped the hell out of both "Gamergate" gamers and AAA studio execs. Lean all the way in to ripping on basement dwelling mouth breathers everytime they freak out over something being "woke"

My bet is on "Xaxi". He loves the letter X way too much.

So does the holocaust not count as a genocide because there were survivors?

I call it a word averaging machine. It finds the statically average words associated with the words you give it. It therefor performs the best when you ask it mundane questions expecting mediocre answers. It has the critical thinking skills of a pachinko machine.

A nice explainer video with a graph of "grandma's killed" could put the candidates in perspective.

More nihilistic. At least their political leadership wanted to fix the food problem. This admin would let the world burn if they could get a buck.

Also, they probably all spent more than $1k to get here. Why would $1k be enough motivation to go back?
