Yeah, Trump looks like he’s from a polaroid and Diddy seems like a digital camera. It’s definitely some weird lighting conditions

Ah, appreciate it! Love a cool depth of field and lighting effect making things look fake effect, but not when its something actually important!

Honest question - is that second Diddy pic real? The lighting looks really strange to me for some reason. Not like AI, more semi decent at best photoshop

Went back to a TN high school recently for the first time since graduating to do some work.

They had to call local police to check my tool box to make sure it didn’t have a gun hidden anywhere, which took almost an hour.

Every single door is locked constantly. Every classroom is locked with a key, so anyone needing to get inside needs the knock to be let in and disturb class. If the teacher needs to go to the bathroom between periods, all the students not already in the class are locked outside.

At one point, I left a door propped open cause I didn’t want to disturb the people running lines. The principal, who used to be my principal at another school, attempted to give yell at me over it.

They’ve also distributed an iPad to every student to act as a hall pass. Except they have to request the pass, raise their hand, ask to use the bathroom, then the teacher has to pull out their iPad and approve it. All of this takes a ton of time.

Starting this year, they only get 3 passes a day. Period. Anymore and the principal has to approve it personally or it’s detention. They have nothing in place to make it so kids with intestinal issues can have more passes, and this systems been in place for 3 years now. Every student I talked to told me they knew someone who pissed their pants in class because they weren’t allowed to leave under threat of detention or suspension.

TN schools and TN in general is just fucked beyond belief now. And the people who put all these ridiculous policies into place are all currently running unopposed.

The Covenant School shooting and moronic conservative parents having an insane amount of control has straight up regresses TN schools to a worse point of security theatre than post columbine or 9/11. All over a single shooting.

Edit: apologies for my horrendous grammar. However, I’m currently too tired to fix it right now

Fascists co-opt other groups and movements constantly because fascists don’t create, they only take and destroy. But hydro homies is well past it’s incredibly edgy start and is now just the liquids equivalent of Linux users - never shutting up about how superior they are for doing a minor thing.

Fascists definitely love the in group-ness of it, but there’s no “only soda” group that’s fighting them and therefore no one to point to as an “other” to forward fascist ideals. Hydro homies is extremely low on the priority for the fascist pipeline. They are incredibly obnoxious when they leak out though.

Also, I vote the potential only sodas group to be called the “soda jerks”

Wtf do hydro homies have to do with this?

They’ve actually all finished the story afaik. And all the things you listed were the main reasons they all didn’t like the game.

Can you tell me what you liked about it? I’m not a fan in general (looter shooters like that just aren’t my thing), but all my friends are, and none of them have ever had a positive thing to say about 3, with opinions ranging from meh at best to absolutely awful. Hell, even the guy in our group who unironically loves bad games even had nothing good to say

So, you’re not wrong, but why did you write that like a FB boomer talking about Obama?

I’ve been using Firefox on Android since it came out. I’ve had 0 issues.

And as far as I’m aware, the newest version of Android Firefox (previously called “preview” doesn’t use an ounce of chrome, even for temporary browser pages

Damn, just call me out dude

I’ll have you know I know exactly how to install Linux and simply choose not to!

(I ran Ubuntu for 3 years)

Oh god, please nobody ever make this. We’ll run out of engineers and programmers within days

Can you imagine trying to catch a 90 mph fast ball gloveless? Fuck machismo, I need to use my hands tomorrow

Firefox also has a mobile app with full extension support on Android, including uBlock origin

Army and Navy mostly

To my knowledge, DNS blockers not only miss a ton of ads, they also trigger several false positives.

A better solution is to switch to something not chromium like Firefox or whatever alternative the next Linux person to read this comment recommends

Man, you have way more confidence in the military not being full of MAGA idiots than I do.

As someone constantly surrounded by people in the military - they’re almost all MAGA idiots, and the ones who aren’t are fence sitting “libertarians” who go right wing every time.

I was just discussing with a friend of mine how we’re rapidly approaching the dead internet. At some point, many websites will likely just be chat bots talking to other chat bots, which then gets used to train further chat bots. Human made content is already becoming harder and harder to find on algorithm heavy websites like Reddit and facebooks suite of sites. The bots can easily outpace any algorithmic changes they might make to help deter them, but my fb using family members all constantly block those weird Jesus accounts and they still show up constantly

To make things worse, we’ve known they were ineffective for over 20 years
