why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.
  • It depends who the Republicans and Democrats are. Republican Voters fell in love - Establishment Republicans fell in line. Republican Officials all talked about how terrible Trump was and would be but still get on their knees when it's time.

    Democratic Voters fall in love, with Bernie and AOC and their guy. Establishment Democrats tell them to get in line... Well, the Voters either do or don't show up.

    So, you're correct that the original subversion was true but it also depends on who any individual commenter references as "The Dems" and "The Repubs" which you can always shift to suit your needs.

    The Republican party pretends they're wagging the dog but they don't even have a leash.

  • Google is switching the Pixel 9 to an ultrasonic fingerprint reader
  • 1.) Used to be a dishwasher and even the government had a hard time getting my prints.

    2.) A wiener (that's attached to a human) can actually be used and make a recognizable print on a fingerprint reader. (Not recommended for daycare workers.)

  • Price of blood?
  • I'd give for free if they gave it for free. They rip people off for the stuff I freely gave? No, I'll take a few bucks out of their profit, thanks.

    Besides, I usually can't donate anyway but I give that shit all the time when I can. Especially when I know where it's being used (for free.)

  • You can fit two cars there
  • A neighbor runs his own plumbing company. He's got an early 2000s Dodge and formerly an early 2000s Ford.

    His main complaint about modern trucks, after the price, is the bed being too high for him to easily load and unload equipment.

  • Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers
  • Again, point being "Do it yourself or get the tag." I don't care if Gen Fill is just Content Aware Fill with less steps. It's an AI tool.

    I know plenty of professional photographers who would just use the shot as is. Not everything needs to be studio perfect every time, just take pictures of reality. Angle, composition, lighting, subject - those all matter so much more than the one out of place freckle you need the AI button to remove.

    If I use a flash and then tell everyone "I didn't use flash, just momentary lighting!" not only am I stupid, I used a flash. Gen Fill is AI. Use the clone and stamp tool or accept your badge of shame.

  • Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers
  • Nah, fuck 'em. Either "Take better photos" or "Made with AI". If you don't have the dedication to sit there until the shot is perfect, why not just generate the whole thing?

    Someone else has been to the pyramids anyway.

  • Meta is tagging real photos as 'Made with AI,' say photographers
  • Generative Fill isn't a filter, the posters complaining about it were using AI tools to remove cars and other things from their photos and then getting butthurt when Adobe tattled on them in the meta data.

    It wasn't a case of tweaking the LUTs or changing exposure, they manipulated the photos using an AI tool and got upset when they got tagged out for it.

  • I’ve got a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty baby, and I’ll write your name: Just Stop Oil paint private jets hours after Taylor Swift’s lands
  • Well, if there's massive ecological collapse and mass extinction events abound, there's honestly no way to know if we'll survive or not. To claim we'll survive when climatic changes are currently killing off everything is the opinion of someone who uses the Bible as evidence of human supremacy.

    Worst case, the centipedes will probably take over again... If they make it too.

  • xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas
  • Specs absolutely matter. Incline of your lawn, outdoor outlet location, type of grass you have growing. I'd never recommend a plug in electric lawn mower to someone who needs to mow six acres of hills.

    That said, electric mowers by and large are better for most consumers.

  • Big, tough guy.
  • I'm about 75% for violence because I'm a lunatic who would always knock down the 300s in any weather but I'm 25% against it because my dumb ass misses the 50s sometimes and I know Urban ops are in that range.

    Also because war is absolute hell on the best days and something I hope I never need to show any proficiency in again.

  • TIL Hunter S. Thomson got an early honorable discharge from the air force in part because, "Sometimes his rebel and superior attitude seems to rub off on other airmen staff members."
  • Honestly, you gotta be a real piece of shit to get a DD normally, think rape or murder... Well, enough rape and murder they don't cover it up.

    That or smoke some weed.

    Either way, "less than honorable" is the 'easiest' way to get rid of a complete fuck up.

    The real monsters have an honorable though.
