If successful on their people, they’ll be using it on social to make up bullshit with “proof” that fuels MAGA rhetoric and make the divide in America even worse. The difference is that now when we ask for proof of these lies then they will have something that is pretty tangible to all but those who really know how to spot it.
They could even do it on the flip side and make horrible videos of Republicans saying things that they didn’t to make the left hate them even more and even if they said they didn’t do it we wouldn’t believe them because they’ve done and said horrible stuff already.
Heard a guy respond to another guy calling him a motherfucker with ‘yeah, but your mom didn’t complain much’, so it got me thinking. What are your best comebacks for the common insults you hear from time to time?
Lassie, in response to the bestiality rumors circulating about you, I have decided to forgo calling you by the usual girl’s name, and instead I am going to refer to you as whatever famous dog I can think of. I have gone with Lassie because of course it satisfies the criteria of being both a girl’s and a dog’s name, thus helping you to ease into the transition
I don’t hate them. I just don’t care about them and the only thing they really do for me is let me know that a product exists. After that, I research it if I am interested or move on and forget about it if not.
I love that we’re having this little conversation in the midst of a thread about politics. 😂
That’s awesome and I’m glad to read that things are working out for you! Being childless can be pretty nice to do what you want and invest in your partner. Pets are always nice. Our kitty passed April 1, 2020 (awful date). We have 2 Shiba Inus now after our other shiba passed 2 years ago.
I’m happy to hear that you’re looking to pursue your passion and I wish you the best of luck! I do SEO for two major child care companies (national and international), but want to switch careers to either IT or front end web development or full stack (eventually). I just need to really think this through and start on a path.
As for games, I’ve been engaged with Baldur’s Gate 3 and HellDivers 2 mostly lately. I am big into D&D now and play in a campaign and then DM two others. What games have you worked on? I’d love to try one out!
Such a small world, even on the internet! I’ve only ever seen this name and spelling this way from gaming and thought I’d ask.
Things are great for me! In my 40s, but still feeling young. Can’t game as much because married with kid and dogs, but I do from time to time. Getting hard to be competitive without those twitch reactions. Ha!
lol! Holy shit and so random. I doubt you knew me on DAoC, but I was on Hibernia/Nimue when you all played Midgard.
I played a Lurikeen nightshade name Cyno and then a Celt valewalker named Chaka. I was in smaller guilds mostly, but TPG did recruit me for a short time.
A North Texas man has filed a class action lawsuit against Cinemark, claiming the movie theater chain is lying to customers about the size of its drinks....
If the amount I’m being priced for is that amount and you short me? Fuck yeah. We should never be ok with not getting what we paid for. There’s too much shrinkflation and deception.
I will say that one example for all is Abba’s “Mamma Mia” which I interpreted the beginning of chorus “Mamma mia, we are collagen” and the beginning of the second part of it “He’ll something broken hardly”. Don’t ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.
Hello, I’ve never traveled internationally post smart phone world but I have Verizon and I added the month international plan so I can use my phone over in Australia....
I already paid for a coverage plan that lasts a month. It’s a capped high speed data amount and unlimited texts, over 200 minutes of talk time, so I should be plenty covered over there.
Worked in printing before things were phased to computers and had to shoot/cut out negatives on a light table for the press plates. It was called “stripping”. So, I was a stripper once without taking off any clothes.
Pharmacists are drug dealers. At least I call them that. 😁
Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I've seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It's always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it's been a thing....
Regarding AI, it’s not just the speed but the accessibility. Photoshop takes skills that not everyone will learn. AI only requires the skills of a crossed monkey and can be done on anyone at a volume that even photoshop wont do unless you’re dedicated.
As an example, grab several photos of Jo Blow and you can have them nude in minutes. Photoshop, I assume, would require hours for several photos?
I don’t know photoshop, so maybe I am totally off.
