I’m pretty sure sometimes what happens is they don’t want to pay their quality designers. So they bring in cheap foreigners to use the og designs and modify them or build from them.
But then claim it’s “AI” so it’s not theft of design or style from og designers.
AI can’t even handle fingers. It can’t do high quality design work. Especially 3d.
Lots of ai 3d stuff floating it around. Looks okay in the render photo but when you open the file it’s crap and poor quality.
Well I’m not sure if US is 1st world or not. But it’s pink paste here.
Yeah I was like. Wait. What.
He’s not a scientist, biologist, but a lawyer.
There is no way to spin this as normal.
That thing looks a bit like a giant red squid.
Do you think an actual giant red squid would know it wasn’t?
That device is now at the bottom of the sea after a squid made sweet love to it. 🐙 🦑
BBC says most were murderers or drug dealers.
I’m not for the death penalty except for child rape. But I’m not going to say it’s never the answer.
It’s expensive to imprison people for life.
It’s expensive to let loose murderers back out on the streets.
I don’t know the details about these executions. I can’t say if it looks corrupt or not.
Not just you.
Thats what chicken nuggets are made of
It’s been about a decade since I read them but I did read all the ender books. I recall that I quite liked them but they weren’t perfect and I was always annoyed at some of the labels being thrown around without any strong evidence.
I remember there was some inconsistencies or plot holes around the people with genetic OCD. But I can’t recall why I felt that way, only that I did.
I did appreciated the true use of time distortions from space travel. Which is rarely done in scifi.
I can see why they are considered one of the top scifi series ever written.
At least they don’t go into fever dream territory like the last few dune books.
Secondary Education cost went up quite a bit too. Because EU has regulations on tuition costs.
But Brittain did not.
Ask us Americans how $30k for an associates degree is working out for us?
I heard they are developing an open source office suite.
Yeah I’ll be getting that.
Do you all remember how Microsoft office used to be free with a windows computer. ?
Well. It was. And not that long ago.
Everyone used it for everything. Then they started charging for the suit.
Then they decided that wasn’t enough. And now it’s a subscription.
Greedy rat bastards.
I don’t know how israli government can’t understand that even if they don’t care about Palestinians being abused, that promoting sexual violence in their prisons and military, ultimately means promoting it on their own Israeli citizens.
Do these men just leave the prison. Go home to wives. And treat them with respect. Or does their violent tendencies go home with them ?
Even if a government doesn’t care about the prisoners health or dignity, allowing and promoting the guards to do these actions will ultimately make them violent outside of the prisons. At home. In their communities.
Maybe level up as a nurse? I don’t know all the designations but there are multiple types, correct?
Rna Cna lpn but also like fancy nurses who do some work akin to a doctor. ?
There are also research nurses. That’s a whole other type of work.
I used to work with one. Pretty sure they get paid more and I know the hours are better. 9-5 m-f type schedule (at least for the one I worked with).
Do any of these interest you? Surely it’s easier to level up than start something else?
If the enemy wins.
But yeah that’s one way to look at it.
I checked and someone has this one on eBay. $45 with shipping…
This thing is hella loud.
I never can run it at full volume at protests.
Have yet to run out of battery either.
It does have a big rainbow led light on the front but you can turn it off to save power.
There are other brands too of course and there might be better options.
I do have a 15w anker speaker that’s nice to pack to the beach or park or something but it can’t get even half as loud as this green one does.
Plus the microphone sounds way better than those muddy megaphones. I Used it a lot more than I thought I would.
I felt like a news anchor. Every time I’d see someone trying to lead a chant or a speech id run over. Hand them the mic and hold up the speaker.
(Fyi The gray things on the mic are added. Protect it if it’s dropped. They don’t come with it)
Even though the use of “Twitter” is outdated. It also kind of Still works.
Because the original users of Twitter have mostly left.
It’s definitely very catchy and has relevant lyrics.
Tis not food for humans.
Locke. That’s the name Peter used. Valentine used Demosthenes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Hegemon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Puppets
Together they created polarized populace ideology that ultimately allowed Locke (Peter) to win.
Peter is a verifiable sociopaths in the book. And against his nature becomes a “good” ruler.
In reality. This is not how sociopaths behave. They are selfish by the very definition and care only for power and personal gain.
Peter is a problematic character.
Reminds me of Dexter. I love the Dexter show. But Dexter as a person type does not exist in the real world. Vigilante serial killers are a thing, yes. But Dexter only targets bad guys because he dad told him that it will make it easier to not get caught.
Real serial killers have basically kinks or fixations on targets. It’s often sexual for them.
Dexter is portrayed as mostly asexual with a handful of exceptions. And sexual gratification never being part of his murders.
Anyway. I’m just explaining how often sociopathic people are often glamorized in media to make them out as some sort of savior.
They absolutely are not. Glamorizing sociopathic tendencies is how trump got elected and why so many such people are running billionaire companies.
Hoarding wealth doesn’t make you smart/genius/inventor. It just means you have no integrity. No empathy or sympathy.
Sorry, getting off topic.
Peter becomes a very interesting character. But aside from his early behaviors in the series, he is not consistent with a sociopath. Instead of orson writing him as evolving past his early mindset. He just dumps some exposition or a statement every now and then to remind us Peter is a sociopath. As he has no behaviors consistent with that label. Instead it’s just used as a way to remind us why valentine doesnt trust him.
She could have remained untrusting of him regardless if his behaviors changed or not. Because of their histories.
Anywho
Locke is based on John locke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke

Did you know that smoking cocaine isn’t that bad for you because lots of people are alcoholics. ?

Well a few legit game review websites were sold off. Fires all staff writers and now all content is AI.
The reason is you can’t make a reputation if you start as AI. You need humans to make something good first and establish reputation.
So the whole point is to buy legitimacy by buying out existing established companies.
Do you think that’s what is going on here ?
It’s a dumb strategy. People quickly learn and reputation can literally tank in 24 hrs. No matter how big the company’s reputation and following was.
Once it comes out it’s all AI garbage. It’s over.
