Could be photo shop? The hands come up from out of frame, so it could be a normal picture of john rambo with a bandana and gang sign hands just dropped on top. It does have that soap opera foggy quality though so you’re probably right that its AI.
- Comment on U.S. takes 10% stake in Intel as Trump flexes more power over big business 1 week ago:
You’re more right than you may know.
An actual city wall existed on the street from 1653 to 1699. During the 18th century, the location served as a slave market and securities trading site, and from 1703 onward
- Comment on Silicon Valley Is Panicking About Zohran Mamdani. NYC’s Tech Scene Is Not 2 weeks ago:
Well, with inflation this will inevitably become true. Be careful what you wish for.
- Comment on 🤝🤝🤝 2 weeks ago:
If human blood has plastics at a rate of ~ 1.6 µg/mL and a typical volume of blood donated during a whole blood donation is approximately 470-500 mL you’re looking at a reduction in plastics of a cool .0005 grams per donation. That’s 1/40th of a grain of rice!
- Comment on I could use some serious advice as to whether or not to do this 2 weeks ago:
I bet the Sam bride could fix up a mean rabbit stew, especially with some big yellow taters.
- Comment on Every female Democrat presidential nominee has resulted in a Donald Trump presidency 4 weeks ago:
who knows
Better. We know they would look better. We could have elected a dryer with a magic 8-ball inside of it and done better.
His mismanagement of covid alone is damning.

This hard drives so big, that two people can access it at the same time and never meet.

My commentary was that 4th of July this year felt more like a going away party.

The real miracle was creating chocolate chip cookies 1,908 years or so before they were invented.
- Comment on Windows 12 release is pushed back at least another year as Microsoft announces Windows 11 version 25H2 2 months ago:
I’m losing track, but don’t they usually go good, bad, good, bad?
98 good, m.e. bad, xp good, vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad, 10 good, 11 bad, so maybe 12 good?
Obviously I’m over simplifying and I skipped over 2000. But at least since 98 I feel like the trend has been pretty reliable.

Yet, I don’t see it posted in these comments yet.

Even better, it’s for iOS only. So I don’t qualify even though I have pro.
- Comment on There were probably some people who just really liked "Never gonna give you up" and really enjoyed getting rick rolled 3 months ago:
I think it was so successful because of how solid the song is. As soon as you hear that aggressive drum intro the song is so catchy that it all appears at once in your head.
- Comment on Trump, in blue, sleeping at Pope Francis' funeral 4 months ago:
I’m not a huge Biden fan by any means but I would argue he conquered his limitations where as Trump is defined by his.
The difference between persuasion and force. Or on the other end of the spectrum, the difference between mere arrogance and unabashed malice.

Is this particularly bad? To my novice eyes this seems ok?
- Comment on Madison Square Garden’s surveillance system banned this fan over his T-shirt design. And he didn’t even wear it to the venue. 5 months ago:
Land of the free, home of the brave, indeed. This attack on free speech will continue to get worse. The farther we let it go, the longer it will take to claw back any sort of legitimate freedom. Criticism should not be illegal, and designing and selling shirts like this is supposed to be an example of American freedom. We’re about to have a new red scare (or are perhaps witnessing the first signs of the one we already have), this time with decades of social media content to scrape, facial recognition, and god knows what proprietary marketing “fingerprinting” data associated with our names/identity. The man who owns Tesla has made it clear he desires tyranny, and every one of those cars is festooned with cameras, roving, or sitting idle. Let alone operations like Waymo, driving around to wherever dispatched. Internet connected cameras on every street, our phones tracking our movements in real time, the internet of things, the privatization of legally protected security forces with no badging or oversight, arresting protestors, journalists, students, LEGAL CITIZENS. Make no mistake, they’ve raised the stakes already and this is not a game we can afford to lose.

During the last go around with that hideous pustule with the awful hair, major league soccer and it’s fans got into a rather messy and protracted row over banning “antifa” iconography, signs, chants, etc. It seems to be back on the back burner now though because I’m seeing antifa flag again in the supporter sections.
- Comment on What's the best way for Elon to remove the parasite class? 🤔 5 months ago:
If you were a purse snatcher, and your victim gave chase. And you were shouting “Stop! Stop them!” The people on the street would be at least as confused enough to let you get away, as you’d both be shouting. It’s weaponized projection. Double speak. It’s no more unintentional than using a Nazi salute and claiming it to be a gesture of endearment.
- Comment on The White House says it ‘will determine’ which news outlets cover Trump, rotating traditional ones 6 months ago:
Well he’s captured the judicial, the legislative, and the executive, already. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that the next target is the forth branch/estate. What could possibly go wrong by allowing someone to hand select their own oversight/accountability? Republicans sure seem unconcerned about the unilateral consolidation of unchecked power by one man. Isn’t opposition to tyranny supposed to be, like, our entire raison d’être?

You just made me mad by helping me realize that the Trump bros are going to break water by removing fluoride long before they fix water by removing lead.
- Comment on Honey 10 months ago:
Historically I still “lose” these types of arguments as my willfully ignorant interlocutor spams potential strawman and ad hominem “arguments” until they feel sufficiently convinced that my pesky facts and I are safe to ignore.
In my experience there are very few people worth arguing with, as there are very few people willing to argue in good faith. Most people see arguing as a battle to be won or lost rather than a mechanism by which to vet assumptions. How can you expect to argue with a person who is unable to argue with themselves?
