What a strange and wild coincidence.

I feel like it’s very strange to not even mention the fact that many, many of these researchers have completely lost, or will lose the grants for the research that is the entire reason for their being in the field in which they are. They literally cannot do what they are there to do anymore. in addition, many additional folks are no longer allowed to work on or publish their projects because they are centered on or use some of Trump’s no-no words. There is way more than just salaries causing the brain drain out of the US right now.

You just aren’t thinking big picture. This will need time to play out. $90 million over 50,000 years and those tax cuts are gone! Be patient.

“To fund improvements and enhanced experiences across the park system, I’ve just signed an executive order to raise entrance fees for foreign tourists while keeping prices low for Americans. The national parks will be about America first.”

Oh thank god! After slashing over $1 billion from the nps budget and firing over 5,000 of its workers I was beginning to think this guy maybe didn’t care about the national parks. What a relief!

Oooh okay cool. It’s totally fine then. Surely that single example is representative of every single election past, present, and future, and a great reason to abolish any sort of caps on donations.

Completely agree. There are some things ai clearly struggles very hard with but the rate at which it is improving in just about every single facet is insane. I mean just take a look at this, this was unimaginable like literally months ago. That thing is 100% ai generated. Sound, visuals, script… everything is made from a prompt in a few minutes. And we’re still basically just at the infant stage. Just imagine what the hell these things will be doing in 20 or 50 or 100 years.

You guys are all fools. This is a good thing! The Art of the deal! This is just from Thursday:

“We’re seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers and truck drivers are worried about their jobs.”

• Reporter

“That means we lose less money … when you say it slowed down, that’s a good thing, not a bad thing.”

• Trump/Master Negotiator/Art of the Deal

I mean I guess this might be conspiracy territory (although at this point I feel he’s pretty much completely admitted as much through his whole “I am become meme” cringe persona) but I feel like it’s pretty clear he knew exactly what he was doing at the inauguration and just did it as a “lol watch what edgy thing I’m gonna do… and they won’t do a thing about it” and he was 8 billion percent right. Nobody did a damn thing.

It has the market absolutely cornered in background napping material tho. God I can nap so hard to golf.

Random question, but when you have an image like this with a ton of that fuzzy noise stuff and then you try to put an image into it without any fuzzy noise crap, what’s the best way to do it? Basically, how do you match noise when compositing images?

I’ve found some ways to do it online that are decent but it almost always comes out different. Like you can usually totally tell the image doesn’t belong there.

I was just talking about this with a friend. I think bmw drivers driving like douches is maybe the most accurate stereotype I know. It is shocking how often I see a car driving like an asshole and it ends up being a bmw.

Most stereotypes are hilariously inaccurate but that one seems pretty legit lol

I feel like at some point there will be so much banned that every government document is just going to be like caveman talk about how amazing petroleum and guns are

Gas good and drill good so money good too. All is good if gas is gas. Oil and gas and drilling is great. Guns for army man. Make America great again.

Unless I have the law wrong, he skirted the law. He didn’t pay anyone to vote (although he originally said he was), he technically only paid them to sign a petition. The law afaik only says you can’t pay people to vote (regardless of who, in Wisconsin you straight up cannot pay people to vote at all), you can pay them to sign a petition.

However I would argue that by first announcing that the money would go only to people who voted and then subtly changing it later is still totally a form of bribery. People absolutely voted for a chance at that money because of his original statement and didn’t know it changed. But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say he’ll be 100% fine because of technicalities (aka he’s rich as shit and is completely untouchable)

My bet is the matrix. Everything bad is the matrix. What the hell is the matrix? Nobody knows, doesn’t matter, but it’s responsible for all bad things that happen to him.

I enjoy believing this person simply thought time was finite and just stopped at some random point until they saw an old person walking around and they were like “what if… what if forever exist???”

So what are we looking at for your wardrobe? Pictures only? Plain colors? Maybe like tie dye?

That reminds me of a tweet I just saw from the White House celebrating the fact that he’s signed more executive orders than any president in history at this point by far. Which is… fine I guess but just seems like a really really strange thing to be super proud of to me.

Tweet in question

It still blows my mind that he has this reputation. His OWN damn policy was and still is “Freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.” Which is blatantly censorship and suppression lol. I cannot grasp how someone could see that and be like “free speech is back!!!”

Lol “I’d like to formally announce the new head of The Office of Child Care…”

“You brought these kids to West Virginia, a place as I know as almost heaven and put them in hell. The court will now put you in yours. May God have mercy on your souls, because this court will not."

Circuit Court Judge MaryClaire Akers

That’s kinda fire actually
