You can't just go around beating up Isrealis because they're from Israel

I'm mostly correcting you. That was not why they got beat up.

Although I never think violence is an appropriate response, it's hard to find fault in someone that punches a nazi. I hold the same opinion for all pro-genocide groups.

Brainless obnoxious routine every day

I feel like they did the equivalent of watching it burn, as the fire department. Gaza was a fire they could have put out, they let it burn. They were making headway on climate change and then promoted fracking at the debate. Biden was clearly going to be a problem but they just let it burn until it was a mess.

We have to be vocal. People want change. We can't have another election where the dems run on "at least we aren't pouring gasoline on it like the GOP".

They don't need pity, their feelings don't have to be protected. We can be harsh with them.

If you take the rocket and let it sink into the ocean, you don't even need fuel.

If we don't hold then accountable, they will never change.

The campaign was weak, they waited too long to switch off Biden, they kept the genocide going and didn't offer any hope.

People that didn't vote suck but there's enough blame to go around. We can have an honest discussion on how fucked the dems keep acting now that's it over.

There's a difference between not disparaging them before the election and not enabling their behavior after it.

They got beat up because of what they said and their behavior, not because of where they were from.

I also think location has to do with it. The dev team behind Coromon are in Europe while both Nintendo and the Palworld devs are in Japan.

From what I understand from a previous article, japanese patent laws can be quite strict.

Are you happy? Is the vibe nice? Are people friendly? Are you being paid a fair amount or can you get more at an other job? Do they respect your private life, are they stressing you out? How is the commute?

There are other things to consider then industry best practices. You might very well end up in a place that treats you like shit, is much farther and let's you go the moment they don't need you.

No way he's getting 7 years just for using a passport as ID and not having plates. What did he do?

On Friday, TriStar Pictures released Here, a $50 million Robert Zemeckis-directed film that used real time generative AI face transformation techniques to portray actors Tom Hanks and Robin Wright across a 60-year span, marking one of Hollywood's first full-length features built around AI-powered visual effects.

Metaphysic developed the facial modification system by training custom machine-learning models on frames of Hanks' and Wright's previous films. This included a large dataset of facial movements, skin textures, and appearances under varied lighting conditions and camera angles. The resulting models can generate instant face transformations without the months of manual post-production work traditional CGI requires.

You couldn't have made this movie three years ago," Zemeckis told The New York Times in a detailed feature about the film. Traditional visual effects for this level of face modification would reportedly require hundreds of artists and a substantially larger budget closer to standard Marvel movie costs

Meanwhile, as we saw with the SAG-AFTRA union strike last year, Hollywood studios and unions continue to hotly debate AI's role in filmmaking. While the Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild secured some AI limitations in recent contracts, many industry veterans see the technology as inevitable. "Everyone's nervous," Susan Sprung, CEO of the Producers Guild of America, told The New York Times. "And yet no one's quite sure what to be nervous about."

 

The first story in this collection is my favorite and the one I wanted to share. It's sci-fi and the book is offered for free from their website which is honestly quite cool. You can also find a link to a free audio version of each of the stories, as well as the paid Kindle version or paperback.

Tell us where you are going so I can live vicariously through you while I stare at the snow.
