My youngest is always calling out my music as “this is a Tiktok song” … child, that song is almost older than I am.

You want to get drafted into the Russian Army to fight Ukrainians?

US says those are rookie numbers.

I read an article about this sword a few days -ago. By The Guardian maybe? Regardless, that one mentioned the sword had been dated to within the last two centuries, and the picture took forever to load, hilt-first, which is where I got the Scimitar idea … but yeah, last I head, Excalibur was not supposed to be a tarnished, single-edged, horrifically-un-balanced and blunt-tipped stage-prop.

IDK, was Excalibur a Calvary Saber that was made after the US won independence? The Britts can’t even distinguish extremely divergent categories of swords now?

If this were a Scimitar, it would at least be good for a laugh, but this is just sad.

Not before it “became” “islamic”, according to idiots who buy what Bibi’s selling. Pakistan definitely came a lot closer to meeting his bullshit criteria “first”.

So is Pakistan not a Republic or … ? Seriously though, was he already senile in 1998?

Yeah, the article’s agenda is pretty overt. End of the day, I don’t care about a corporations “rights” being violated, but this judge had the opportunity to do right by the public and set a precedent, and instead opted to shit all over it.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s actually unhappy with the jury’s verdict, seeing as he’s playing the “anti-corpo big-government over-reach” character to a tee.

You uh … ever heard of the school-to-prison pipeline? Judges throughout the country have repeatedly been caught literally selling kids to private prisons. Look at what Britney Spears went through and tell me the US judiciary knows-best.

The judge could have turned the matter to experts. He didn’t.

They don’t have to publish false numbers. Just keep vague which numbers they are posting. “Total active licenses” was what I referenced earlier.

I own 6 Windows Professional licenses. I am presently using two. You really think Microsoft are the ones to trust?

Having numbers others don’t doesn’t make those numbers useful or true in every context.

three on the right use the same face-shape almost line-for-line: differences only in the hair, ears, eyebrows, skin-tone and attire. Middle has a squared-off jaw, maybe vertically stretched, and the top’s jaw-line stop’s shorter, but completely different?

The three on the left use basically the same tricks and started from a different outline, but between those three, top has a single cheek wrinkle in a different spot, bottom has additional forehead wrinkles, and the middle is stretche horizontally as well as vertically, mayb with some skew-tool use so its more exaggerated to the right, but damn, bro, have you ever even touched illustrator or photoshop? I could do the same in Gimp, Inkscape, Krita, Clipstudio, or so many others, and honestly it would be quicker for me than coming up with an Ai prompt, if that last were even part of my skillset.

Not even a hint of complex shading, and if you think “less complex or generic= Ai”, you must have missed the meme-train days completely.

Three on the left have the same shoulders, and the three on the right have their shoulders cropped at different heights to hide their similarities there too.

Not a damn thing about this necessitates or would even reward the use of Ai.

Oh no, someone used copy/paste on their outlines, and it came out looking like the paper “dolls” you used to be able to dress-up and accessorize with other cut-outs! Must be slop!

JFC sheeple.

EDIT for the uninitiated for some reason can’t see themselves capable of making this with, frankly, stupid-simple tools:

The same people selling the clearnet will be the same people who will never let the existing stuff die, so they can sell the problems, the “solutions”, child-porn, and most stupidly, considering they seem to honestly believe they want to force this on the rest of us, to feel they are “above the law”, and not confined to the bounds of their own machinations.

I’m not convinced more than maybe 5 or 10% of people will ever actually use the clear-net, or even be able to afford to either. The same idiots trying to force it are populating their new “walled-garden for the rest of them” with, basically, AI spoofs of the rest of the population. They are already huffing their own farts past the point they won’t be able to tell the difference, like an artificial resurgence of The Bicameral Mind for “the ruling class”.

EVs actually tend to use fewer ECU modules than IC vehicles - even Hybrids are driving a trend towards mechanical and electrical simplicity.

The IC manufacturers are fighting repairability tooth and nail, but the only ones who can afford their new shit are the last people who would embrace being locked-in to dealer repairs.

All that, and the dealerships/service-centers will always require mechanics, as the manufacturers themselves will always prefer to be able to fix and re-sell used cars.

The only seperate bathrooms needed are stalls, urinals, handi-capped/“family” stalls, and sinks. Gendered labelling is a solution looking for a problem; A relic of racial segregation and the times before women could vote.

If I’m talking to the skirt next to me at the urinal, its for wardrobe tips, where to get high heels and dresses that fit, and also to put other chatty dudes in their place. Because seriously, who actually wants to hold a conversation at a urinal? Old perverts like me, only worse.

Do I care if they have a dick or are using a funnel? Also no, because I realize none of it is my business until they tell me otherwise.

All that said, I’m fully aware that trying to use a urinal in women’s wear is a pain. If you’re encountering them and they bother you, ya done fucked-up by going out of your way to find it in the first place. Going out of one’s way to cast shade at unicorns…

I mean, community-sourced is what I would want anyways, so …
