Totally unfair comparison. Reek was tortured and had his balls forcibly cut off to become what he was.

Rubio was like that from the start.

A president that doesn’t believe in civil rights and due process deserves neither.

What could possibly make him more popular?

He gets to stay in the US, at least 🤷

To be fair, that entire industry, wines about everything.

It’s his own fault. He should’ve brought a switch and started whipping people whilst turning over a few tables.

His behavior wasn’t Christ-like enough.

They created golems powered by compressed air instead of magic.

Definitely marking this down in my mental, “in case of Isekai” notes.

Also, the most people will die in red states.

Take of that knowledge what you will.

Conservatives love the concept that private charities should be the ones who provide, “hand outs” (e.g. free food) and things like health care to those who can’t afford it. Except they always conveniently neglect the fact that all the charities in the world combined are but a fraction of a percent of government spending on similar things.

Furthermore, charities cannot hope to match the efficiency of governments providing the same services. Even the most inefficient government agencies have overhead far lower than the best-run charities.

Governments don’t have to solicit for donations. They aren’t beholden to the market or bad economic times. They can pool bureaucratic resources across multiple programs and take advantage of economies of scale that the biggest charities could only dream of.

The truth is that if you actually want to help the most desperate people of the world, government programs are the most efficient and effective way to do so.

Thousands of tons of plastic pollution

OK so a trivial and insignificant amount.

Nope. In fact, if you generate a lot of images with AI you’ll sometimes notice something resembling a watermark in the output. Demonstrating that the images used to train the model did indeed have watermarks.

Removing such imaginary watermarks is trivial in image2image tools though (it’s just a quick extra step after generation).

Not a bad law if applied to companies and public figures. Complete wishful thinking if applied to individuals.

For companies it’s actually enforceable but for individuals it’s basically impossible and even if you do catch someone uploading AI-generated stuff: Who cares. It’s the intent that matters when it comes to individuals.

Were they trying to besmirch someone’s reputation by uploading false images of that person in compromising situations? That’s clear bad intent.

Were they trying to incite a riot or intentionally spreading disinformation? Again, clear bad intent.

Were they showing off something cool they made with AI generation? It is of no consequence and should be treated as such.

You jest but this implies everything is fine… Now.

I approve this pedantry because I too am not a scientist 👍

Tell me you’re planning an insurrection without telling me you’re planning an insurrection.

Reminder: The Bill of Rights (where we get the 1st Amendment) applies to all persons living and residing in the United States. Not just citizens.

I dunno. What kind of service can you get with LowG™?
