When farmers burn weeds they often mix a popular petrochemical that's sold at most beer/cig/candy stores and simple Irish bars of lavender, it's pretty useful stuff. For burning weeds.
the demands of the public and candidates of quality with people behind them is what creates change. Burnie changed the DNCs policy commitments, even if he couldn't produce enough votes to be the candidate, he effected change, and that only happens when people are politically engaged and dousing people's desire for change or anger about abuse doesn't effect change.
I'm Hispanic, I grew up in an immigrant neighborhood, this situation is a nightmare, and every president we've had has made it worse since Clinton, but pointing out the Democrats will gladly continue Trump's immigration policy to appear "strong on immigration" to me is highly counterproductive. people are mad right now about immigration policy, people want change. telling them any Democrat that runs is going to be the same when we don't know who that person is or what policy they have written down as a plan of action, it's just telling people to be more hopeless, and not be mad or demand change. No voting Democrat won't fix immigration, but voting republican will always make it magnitudes worse, and people finally seeing what policy is like and being strongly against it is the only way to get a political party to actually openly be pro immigration for once in my entire life.
very hard to convince someone of something when their paycheck requires they don't understand it. seroiusly "hay I'm one of the people who has been demanding my company finish AI and roll it out and stuff it into everything we sell to look like massive growth so my stocks will start going up even though the language models aren't even designed to do what were claiming, and they don't even work well as language models, and we have no real use for them and they're horrifyingly costly to run, but no, I don't think it's a bubble."
when your whole public assessment of others is explaining your ability to be sexually attracted to them, then yes. really gotta notice your publicly talking about someone for a lot of them to happen.
the appeal she lost was that the tats and piercings make it abundantly clear she's over 18, and college attendance shows she's not going to be easy to manipulate and take advantage of. you know. because she's an educated adult. that's the big turn off. trust me. that's ALWAYS the turn off. this guy would say all sorts of nasty stuff about her body if the average 14 year old had tats and piecings.
This is a pretty perfect explanation of why you're not going to see AI being used for anything serious in the art world for a very long time. you can't randomize your character designs every time you need more than one clip, angle, iteration, that breaks the function of comercial art entirely. Yes I know it's technically been done, but it's exactly what people call it, AI slop. You can't randomize every element of a film every time you need a new shot, a cut, a new scene with the same characters, backgrounds, or lighting.
Yes. They very much are intending to cause harm with every step. I'm old enough to know, they've been doing this all my life. The violence didn't start when you decided it started, it's been happening a long ass time.
No one on the left has anything to do with the violence that's a core tenant of fascism and capitalism or corpratism if you want to get real specific. No one is egging the proud boys on, anymore than black folks existing was the cause of KKK bombings and terrorist attacks. These people aren't responding to anything, this has always been their goal.
This is why you don't ever drive on anything but clear road.
