After the VP debate, I was stuck under two babies and couldn’t get up before CBS did it’s spin room coverage and fake analytics. During their focus group of 6 undecideds, I nearly fucking lost it when one said “I like that Vance said he’s pro-family”.

This shit repeated on my stream I was watching several times and I inevitably woke up my 8mo having to get to the computer before every last drop of my sanity was gone.

Spreading the furry gospel, as it were. Great friend indeed, lol

There’s probably more, but that’s certainly one.

The same museum also has more soft core erotica art from that era.

Oh right! https://hero-magazine.com/article/183116/hokusai

Google sent me here and now I’m on a list. Lol

I tried to find it, but I’m not in a good position up search right now lol. However! I believe I saw it in San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum. Maybe another, slightly less compromised Lemming can source it, haha.

Ugh, I hate ladderboards for games with cheaters and exploiters on top. Where are the moderarors?! I demand a refund.

I’ve literally seen historical tentacle porn prints in an Asian art museum. It is wild.

To be quite fair, if he’s elected again and my wife gets deported back to Japan, I get the sense I’ll also just be happier in Japan. Too bad he’s also a threat to the world, though— there’s a reason I’m not really hearing “if he’s elected, I’m moving away” stuff like the first time or back in the Bush years.

I know you’re going for creepy buuuut I read it more like a dude who doesn’t get what a painting is.

I think I’d be a terrible park official. I’d say the same things, but always with a winky face.

Bigfoot isn’t real ;)

That’s our official stance ;)

It’s terrible in most scenarios now that I think of it…

Be sure to stay hydrated out on the trail ;)

Please evacuate the grounds, there is a wildfire burning ;)

That was kind of my takeaway too. I hope people get the sense he’s a liar, but ultimately I imagine most of the night is forgettable. The main goal for Vance is name recognition in 4 years while also not offending Trump, and he kind of did that.

You know, I used to be a little like him when I was younger and that style does work when you have at least an ounce of charisma. But then I stopped being a fuckboy and started growing real relationships; being a smooth liar is a hollow existence.

Good God it’s all Vance.

Actually listening to NPR earlier, fact checking guest said both sides have always lied, but GOP has always lied more even prior to Trump. JD on stage reminds me of those days where it’s told straight as a cohesive argument, is still a lie, but harder to detect because the lie isn’t told like a batshit conspiracy theory.

Those kind of lies are the kind I hate most, although I guess America has shown that idiots will eat up even the batshit crazy lies…

Oh. The campus I teach uses juice box. I wonder what’ll happen to them.

Glad to be in California, even if my vote isn’t going to matter thanks to electorial college. I still have to vote on propositions and other down ballet stuff, but it’s a simple walk to a drop box. We get quick confirmation and votes remain sealed until counted to prevent tampering, so it’s pretty safe to mail it or drop it off. Also still counts if it’s postmarked on time, although I do late that it’ll be a week before we really know results.

That said, if you can go early voting in person, it’s probably more reliable in many other states with less protections. I heard USPS may be unreliable and if you can’t get confirmation via email or text, it’s hard to know if it’s received.

That looks like the headshot she used to get the part to play Simba’s mom.

It’s ok, Simba gets two gay dad’s and everything works out fine. Hakuna Matata!

Oh for sure, but let’s say I’m running the model locally using my GPU instead of, say, using it to play a game using that GPU. It’s all technically wasteful, but by that standard everything we use our computers for are wasteful. I’m not even sure if running it locally counts for usage statistics, either, although I suppose download counts could.

Granted, I don’t like the wasteful use of AI models (especially unsolicited bullshit from copilot) and I certainly don’t like the use of stolen material for corporate gain, but I’ve never been against individuals using pirated software, music, video, etc, for personal usage even before AI.

Don’t have an argument against it normalizing the behavior, though. I’d like to believe there’s an ethical way to adopt new technology without screwing some people over, but that’s probably not possible under capitalism.

It’s funny to see both Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle take two very distinct paths into old age. Actually true of most people in that movie, lol

Plus it’s not like it’s commercial usage, nor would you have hired artists to illustrate all your characters for a session like that. It’s one of the few ethical usages of AI, imo.

Auto correct strikes again :)
