Lol yeah, I don’t want to cope or anything but for months the news were pretty much just “trust us there’s DPR koreans in the war!”, “this guy from yakutsk kinda looks like a korean, right? There’s definitely DPR koreans in the war!”, “oh we killed all koreans btw dw ukraine best”, “wdym there’s koreans in ukraine? no we killed them all in fact here we killed 10,000 more.”

All in all it provides them experience though I didn’t expect DPRK would actually send soldiers and not just aides, putting them in danger. I guess they wanted them to get the field experience, I wonder if we’ll ever get a word on the number of casualties sustained. I think it also means that the DPRK is expecting war to happen to them sooner rather than later…

Shows that this is nothing new and not even that long ago either

You’re not contradicting my previous comment so I would just be repeating myself. Moreover, I find it strange that you recognize that he was convicted but feel the need to preface that with “it wasn’t an actual child” as if that’s a defense or somehow makes it better.

And he not only did it once, but twice.

But sure yeah let’s listen to the ex-marine who pulls shit out of his ass and pretends to be an anti-imperialist when it suits him.

What would have happened to the couple in the OP though if the husband had asked and the wife said no?

Confederate heroes day lmao

If we could kill the Vatican next that’d be dope

No way they needed to plant anything on his drive. Dude has been convicted of child enticement and his defense was, I kid you not, “I knew I was talking to an officer so therefore I committed no crime because they were an adult and we were roleplaying”. He didn’t even deny it and still doesn’t.

I’ve always felt that he took up the anti-imperialism mantle to try and clear his name so that when you look him up online you come across his many youtube appearances instead of the court case. Because he started being a public figure after he was convicted if I have my timeline correct.

thanks I’ll fix it

Careful about that. New AI face detection softwares can recreate your face even with mask and sunglasses on. I don’t know if they need a reference image for it but I don’t think so. There’s ways to defeat them but just wearing a mask is not enough anymore.

in my language it means penis.

I don’t remember if it was him, I don’t remember if it was that event, and I don’t even remember if it was irrevocably proven or just theorized,

but the CIA got him.

I think he means AI. Not that it will work, but, they think it will work.

I think that’s what they were counting on. The White House later published the equation behind the tariffs rate but it was exactly the same (exports-imports/imports). They just made it look more complex but the symbols cancelled each other out.

Trying to obfuscate what they’re doing.

Stremio for any device with the torrentio plugin which needs to be installed from a url, but should be the first result on a Google search

So apparently what they did was subtract the imports minus exports for each country, express as a % and divide by 2 for tariffs.

It just makes me sadder 😭 it’s true, windows sucks and you keep fighting against it to do basic shit that I remember it doing just fine in the days of XP.

The EU has been talking about abolishing DST for 10 years now and they’re not any closer to it. They couldn’t figure themselves out of a paper bag. So in the meantime, I have to live with it. The least tech could do – especially since they used to do it without any issues – is simplify our lives as long as we have it.

Maoism is a dogmatist deviation of marxism and completely divorced from Mao himself, it came from the Shining Path in Peru in 1988. Now there is a maoism in China but the way they use the word means Mao Zedong Thought, not Guzman’s interpretation. Actually I don’t even think most Chinese are aware of the Shining Path. Today China’s ideology is officially Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

Oh I don’t disagree with you, I disagree with the article that puts Ghibli on a pedestal as if Miyazaki was untouchable, and acts as though some sacred foundation just came crumbling down from an AI doing Ghibli better than previous models did. It’s Miyazaki today and it’ll be Van Gogh tomorrow. What this shows is that AI image is getting better and is not hitting the plateau yet.

That’s my counterpoint to the article and by extension to the writer; I don’t care what Miyazaki thinks of AI and that his art style is now getting copied by AI. Miyazaki himself is a multi-millionaire (if that still means anything nowadays lol); this new development won’t invalidate his human work, won’t put him out of a job, and won’t ruin his existing movies for people that liked them before - at least until some company does an “AI edit” of Princess Mononoke or whatever lol. In fact, he has a financial interest in edifying his style to something non-copiable (or that seems like it can’t be copied). If Miyazaki wants to do something against openAI over this he has the means to do it.

Of course Altman is a fascist! I don’t disagree with the author there and have written about him myself a couple times and how these tech figures are conspiring to reshape society in their individual image. But he will be a fascist with or without a Ghibli AI model.

Counterpoint: I don’t care about Ghibli and Miyazaki!
