That’s above the table before all the bribes and pocket lining. 🤑 Yay, money! 🇺🇸 /satire

This shit is so backwards. People are getting blackmailed competitively by this guy in broad daylight. I know it died long ago, but it was the death of liberty when we introduced MTX/P2W politics—fuck Citizens United.

Thank you for answering the rhetorical question, homie. ✌️Money is the root of all evil.

Hurt people hurt people. I don’t know how to fix things. But if we go around destroying one another, what will be left?

I think the system is immoral. It should be abolished. An absurd takeaway from that would be “health insurance workers should be jailed.”

I find it challenging to say our humanity is through being inhuman to one another. Wouldn’t our humanity need to come from humane action?

I’m as upset as everyone else about these machinations. Everyone is a child of someone. If we don’t remember that, all is lost.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. She could have said DDD without “you people are next.”

Having said that, if we’re really judging people, and corporations are people, why isn’t the denial of health care seen as manslaughter? 70 people pass every day due to the lack of medical care in America. We have worse outcomes, shorter average life than other civilized countries.

When is a corporation sued for murder & sent to jail? I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the point. These systems aren’t making sense. They lack humanity. This is a bad, morally bankrupt system. Older Americans loves their Medicare: that’s socialism.

I’m so sick of this shit.

“Bidens shouldn’t have let it happen”. Come on. Pew research shows immigration rose, but not to some new peak. The world is going to shit due to everything.

I don’t think facts will dissuade you. So here’s a national landmark instead:

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Statue of LIBERTY. Hopefully it’ll still be up & relevant in 4 years if we don’t destroy one another…

I honestly think it’s lead exposure…There was lead all over until 1978. Baby boomers had this shit everywhere around them, and no surprise, they have chronic issues. I feel like many baby boomers really struggle with empathy… most seem angry at a base level.

In game design, it has to be stated whether it’s multiplicative or additive. Sometimes a logarithmic function is used as well, with increases in efficiency as 1 / ( 1 + bonus ). This allows you to always add more bonus, but there’s diminishing returns.

They are also a nonprofit that, if everyone who used it paid $3, would cover the cost.

I was an atheist for the last 20 years and recently converted to Unitarian Universalist.

I would say that in the west, this characterization tends to be true. But I do think there are honest faith communities acting with good intent. Unfortunately, there are few.

What is Mark has been a sentient AI for some time?

Sure, but the individual contribution vs. companies / state-owned organizations is like 70% come from 100 companies / orgs. So the individual percentage is still negligible.

I’m not disagreeing with the math. I’m saying when you want to make changes, you start with the most meaningful funnel. If you have 2 factors contributing to a problem, factor 1 contributes 70%, factor 2 contributes 30%, going after factor 2 seems like a waste of time. 1%s contribute 1000x the amount of the average. Who should be making lifestyle changes here?

The math here is the sort of thing that drives apathy for me to make small incremental changes. If the superrich can dump ~250 avg. emission years over the course of a year, why should I do anything besides lobby against this mode of transport or other large consumers? Maybe it’s a “spirit of the thing,” but changes in my life seem so negligible compared to how ruinous some individuals are acting.

It’s their importance in time and last power. You have your tastes and then we have what they mean external to you. You can choose to not like them and still value their importance to society.

Does every single human need to be put into neat little categories without any grey room at all? It’s always good vs evil! Yeah! Exactly how life works! No complexity! 🙃

I’m a Bernie supporter. Pretty liberal. I wish no one died, the shooter included. I hate Trump, but stop cheering. Why are we celebrating the end of our species? We’re all human. It’s someone’s son, or brother, or family, or friend.

Which came first? The AI image could be a bad render of the original picture with low quality.

There’s issues with models pushing back source material with minor modifications, which suggest they were trained on some copyrighted material. It seems like it could be the case here. Or, as you suggest, it’s a lowering of the AI quality to add a more realistic appearance.

As far as I can tell, this product never panned out. It was backed by 132 people to cover 150k GBP in 2017. It was called the “Cyclotron Bike”.

Starting off with “we’ve heard your feedback” is something I’ve never heard from an abusive parent?
