My only real issue is the dilapidated state of many of the houses, if they were nice and unkept tiny homes it’d be cool.

I feel the same way about seeing Trump.

The UN has reported on Israels war crimes, this is documented and known factual information.

That it is, but they’re the genocide supporters who think Israel is in the right.

Luckily most of the world doesn’t buy into that disgusting narrative.

The first hearing went well actually, South Africa’s claims were found to have merit.

Israel was ordered to minimise the suffering it’s causing, but obviously Israel has not done so and as long as the US shields them from the UN nothing much else can be done about it.

How this compare to tripo and all the other text to 3D models?

It’s pretty common to remake meshes anyway. Artists will sculpt high poly meshes and retopology them into usable game models.

Smart thinking!

I remember back in the day in my state of Australia we would never shut down for weather and those little metal portables were fucking hell on those 40+ days. Cracking a window open does so little.

Cabs here fucking suck, Uber forced them to up their game a bit but they’re still the worse option.

My memory of cabs is ridiculously expensive, cancelling trips or never showing up, driving dangerously, racially discriminating, sexual assaults, refusing rides if not far enough, talking on the phone or radio while driving, reeking of cigarettes, etc.

Fuck off.

Uber sucks but the Taxi industry were far worse. They lobbied for limited numbers of licenses that cost ridiculous amounts of money, so they kept supply low while offering the worst services possible. You’d be lucky to get one unless it was the most expensive rip-off of a trip they could get out of you, forget going a ‘short’ distance.

Those arseholes deserved to lose every bit of business that they did as soon as an alternative rocked up, disgusting to see them profit off their decades of horrible public opinion.

Cabs had lobbied a highly profitable monopoly here, so any competition was a loss from their self assumed god given right to everyone’s wallet.

In Australia I find they’re great. Super cheap, can get a ride in >10 minutes, clean, drivers are friendly. Only real complaint is a bit of the talking on devices, but that’s rare.

Regulatory capture, the taxi’s had lobbied for a permit system, where only a set number of licenses were handed out for taxi vehicles. Uber came into the market and side-stepped the whole thing by saying ‘lol we’re not technically a taxi so we can have as many vehicles as we want’. This is payment for lost profits/damages from the taxi companies little legal scam falling out from under them.

It’s entirely bullshit, but that’s the reasoning for it all.

Wikipedia says it was only bought back in ‘93 and that Russia has violated it 3 times since.

Sounds like it’s tradition for Russia to ignore it.

Very alarming that the Chinese government is encouraging Chinese immigrants to get positions of power in foreign countries.

I wonder how many non-Chinese are in the CCP or running large Chinese firms?

Deceptichum, 2 months ago

It’s not a concern, it’s pointing out hypocrisy. China wants its foreign nationals in power elsewhere, but doesn’t want foreigners in its own country and makes it extremely rare for them to get citizenship let alone participate in decision making.

Deceptichum, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Right, ignore the entirely obvious political ramifications of why China wants these people in positions of power and pretend it’s because good hearted party officials think they need protection.

Fuck Israel. They’re all complicit in the genocide.

I can’t wait to see someone port this over to comfyui.
