- Comment on Second Season of Peacock's ‘Twisted Metal’ Adaptation to Introduce Calypso, Dollface, Axel and More 10 months ago:
This show was way better than I was expecting it to be. I thought it’d be a cash grab, but you can tell a lot of love went into it and everyone involved seems to be having a blast.

Every artist uses copyrighted images to learn how to create their own work. Just because AI does it better and faster doesn’t make that any different.

I see literally zero problems here. Did they have a contract with an artist? They didn’t? Well then it sounds like they have no obligation to use a real artist.
AI art is here to stay, and companies will be using it heavily. It’s ignorant to think they would choose otherwise. Why pay an artist to make an image you may not even like over the course of a few days when you could get hundreds of images to choose from in a few seconds using AI? It’s 1000 times easier and more convenient.

AND WELCOMED TO THE JAM!
- Comment on How the fuck is this my problem, ticketmaster?! 10 months ago:
If it’s a popular enough show, there will be a single person who will still be willing to buy the seat. Or a group who is fine with being split up and will just take whatever seats are left.
If it’s not a popular show, then what exactly is the fucking problem?
- Comment on Reviews for "Leave The World Behind" being brigaded with copy/paste negative reviews - presumably because it was produced by the Obamas. 10 months ago:
Only if it’s done right. If it’s done as merely a cash grab, most people can tell pretty quick. The new Super Mario Bros., or anything by Disney in the last 4 years are great examples. If you take out nostalgia, they’re pretty poor to mediocre movies. And I think most people are able to notice that.

Not to mention due to ecosystem collapse, most wild game you hunt these days is now full of chemicals, parasites, and plastic.

I’ve had the opposite experience. I often find that studio cash grabs that rely on nostalgia or low-effort pandering get high critic reviews (which makes me feel like they were paid to do so) and only the user ratings rightfully trash it. Movie reviews seem to be getting a lot more like video games reviews, where a AAA studio shits out a piece of crap, but it’s proclaimed a 8-9 out of 10 by big review companies (looking right at you IGN). Only by listening to the fans or less mainstream reviewers do you get the real picture.

The man showed up his first day as Twitter CEO literally carrying a sink. That’s about as subtle as a brick to the face.

I wish I could. Sadly my local library has been taken over by homeless people doing drugs.

No, that’s fundamentally breaking the 7 inch limit.
In that scenario, both your hand and foot would have traveled more than 7 inches. They would have traveled 7 PLUS the pre-teleport distance between your hand and foot. That’s the same distance every part of your body would have traveled.
It doesn’t matter how you cut it, or how you define “you”. You would be teleporting more than 7 inches.
- Comment on Choose wisely! 1 year ago:
7 inches is enough to get through any doorway.
But not necessarily your whole body. Unless you are a beanpole and your entire body is less than 7" thick, part of your body is going to be stuck in the door.

- Comment on Is there any christian religions that don't believe in space? 1 year ago:
A lot of “control” based conspiracy theories are born out of fear. The world is a chaotic, messy place and the idea that NO ONE is truly at the helm and we’re all just stumbling through the world is absolutely terrifying to some people. It’s far more comforting for them to believe there is some evil cabal or secret organization pulling the strings and that THEY’RE the reason bad things happen; rather than accepting that the world is complicated and most of us are barely removed from monkeys throwing poo at each other.

All the characters in my DnD campaigns that I DM have European/American accents because I’m white and I worry doing other accents will seem racist.
- Comment on Here's a historical reference for any history buffs out there. 1 year ago:
The most interesting thing to me is both quoted descriptions talk of vermin and worms “springing forth” from the excrement. It was once thought that things like worms, insects, even mice and rats, would just spawn from various kinds of filth.

This seems hella fake. These are not the kind of errors AI generators make.
- Comment on Where can I find recipes without the author's personal anecdotes? 1 year ago:
95% of the time, there is a little button/link somewhere near the top of the page that says “Jump to Recipe”. Click that and you’ll go straight to the recipe.
- Comment on Bye biiiittttchhhh 1 year ago:
Anti-car folks are the same as anti-meat folks. Too busy being right to notice that even if they’re right, the rest of the world isn’t going to agree with them. So they shit on any idea for improvement that isn’t complete abstinence.
People in general aren’t going to give up cars anytime soon, just like people aren’t going to give up meat. It’d be great if everyone did, but that’s a pipedream if you think that could happen in at least the next decade or two. So maybe efforts to reduce the impact of those kinds of things aren’t necessarily wasted.
- Comment on Immune to marketing 1 year ago:
I think anyone who grew up heavily using the internet in the 90s/00s is inoculated against ads as a survival mechanism. Back in those days, clicking ANY sort of ad was a good way to get a virus or spyware. I learned to avoid ads at all cost and, to this day, I’m distrustful of any ad I see.

You mean at the most off-peak time possible, passive energy generation was generating more than active generation? Fascinating.
