None of the hypothetical methods I described would do that.

So it’s exploitive then.

Curtis Yarvin is a monarchist full stop.

Freedom relies on consent and mutual reciprocity, otherwise it’s exploitation. AI art diffusion models that scraped digital art portfolios and did not gain the consent of the artists nor did the artists get compensation is exploitation full stop. There is no freedom in exploitation.

Start your dams and waterworks day one. Before you start planting food even, also extend the work day to get them done. Then plant, then science. That’s what worked for me early game with the iron teeth. Also they’ve patched some of the water elements as well for better balancing.

Against the storm is wonderful.

Have you checked out colony ship? It has a heavier RPG element.

I saw Keith Morris throw his watch and wallet into the crowd at the last NOFX tour.

Are we sure they’re Cuban?

According to the executive branch it’s an official act soooooo…SCOTUS fucked the pooch on that one.

So a 10% hit on an already struggling economy and rocky hegemony. Loving the ratchet effect in the US.

Every college in the State?

Sounds like it’s time for a strike in California. Maybe we should all join in. A general strike would solve a lot of problems.

Vote in the midterms next year and we’ll have elections in 2028

Hacking is using something in a manner in which it was unintended by hacking parts of it, as with an axe.

Good discussion of it here with etymological references.

The issue is the infrastructure and scale. Hundreds of thousands of these images are created every day.

I don’t know your workflow but it usually takes quite a few iterations before someone gets the image they want. It’s the literal definition of inefficiency because its rebuilding the diffusion every time, be that from cached memory or a new vector path.

I’ve been online since usenet. I try to use the current meaning of words. I fully understand that trolling has been coopted by bad faith actors.

Originally it was a fun little bit of sarcasm or an inside joke that became a proto meme or some copypasta to share around.

Now it’s a path to the US presidency.

We have a different definition of troll I think. To me trolls are bad faith actors hiding racism and other disinclusive speech behind humor.

Because of the mangled hands? Like the ones in OPs image?

Then why are you here? Are you also a troll?

Sometimes non vegan… it’s boiling the fucking planet.

Good riddance.

Rainbow washing has been getting more and more egregious, to the point where cops were in the fucking parades on floats.

Be gay do crime is not just some cute tagline on a shirt.

It really depends on the mission, the rules of engagement, who is being tasked with purpose and previous interaction with the locals. Ramadi? That was shoot first ask questions later, Kandahar? Positive ID of a target was easier because of distance and “peace keeping”.

What’re the ROE on this? Also, the coyotes will just find another route, there’s plenty, or just tunnel the migrants along with the drugs.

You want to stop illegal immigration? Open the borders, put migrant labor in contact with ag businesses, give them work visas, tax their income and legislate their working conditions. First 3 years of good behavior give them a visa extension every 6 months, after 5 years of good behavior give them a green card, after 10 years they’re naturalized citizens. If they are sentenced with a crime through the civilian court system deport them. They’re gonna have a difficult time making it back here as they’ll already be in the system.

This increases taxes, secures the border and takes care of population decline, funds social security and helps us have a steady flow of skilled and willing labor.

But this isn’t about common sense, this is about racism and keeping out the other.
