Insisting on using a system that is well documented to make shit up out of nowhere just means you’re both lazy and a poor decision maker.

Especially when there’s no inherent gain from its use like corporate executives solely trying to reduce their biggest expense (payroll) without any other consideration.

I didn’t even think about it that much.

They obviously didn’t either.

I figured it was designed that way so people don’t make that specific turn, meaning it wasn’t actually intended to be a full roundabout. But instead of bothering to pay for any sort of infrastructure in the middle to physically prevent it, they thought painting lines would be enough.

Or die in an El Salvadorian or other similar prison complex from starvation, lack of medical care, etc.

Honestly surprised as we… they’re disappearing people without due process or notice to their families, being arrested for shooting an agent means you get due process.

That is November 1st here in AZ.

Everyone here talking about the background being mirrored and the hat not, talking AI, subtle angle differences but ignoring lens distortion, editing, etc.

Selfies are usually mirrored unless flipped in post processing. His shirt looks to be mirrored as well, so… the simplest answer… The hat that says weird, is just embroidered backwards… Because that would be weird, a beanie with the word weird spelled backwards.

You don’t need to look for a complicated answer when there’s a simple one staring you in the face.

Oh they respond to that stuff fast. But generic dimming lights, in a neighborhood built in the 1960s with old wiring… The frontline customer service staff almost surely thought it was generic complaining about something like a large power draw starting up in the home, like the AC kicking on and dimming the lights just a bit for a second. Not an actual power infrastructure issue.

That assumes no one did. Utilities in my area don’t give a crap as long as service is still functional.

We had to call and complain about lights dimming for over a year before the power company actually sent someone out to take a look. The guy climbed the pole to look at the transformer and came back white as a ghost. The transformer was right next to a massive nearly dead tree, and he had some sort of bar in his hand and explained that it was supposed to have bumps on it, but it was smooth, melted, and it had been so hot he had to let it cool down before he could remove it. He said it could have exploded at any point, probably taking the entire neighborhood with it given the rural area with a lot of natural desert brush. Said he was glad we kept calling and insisting about the issue.

A box hanging around without affecting service is almost aurely a low priority item.

A great example of why you should never trust any story from a single source. Traditional journalism ethics requires multiple independent sources. Modern organizations don’t give a shit about that anymore, it’s just about the clicks.

No one knows. I honestly can’t believe the original post isn’t intended to point out the absurdity of these anti-DEI assholes.

The “fixed” version also looks transmasc, not that that’s a bad thing, just ironic if the post wasn’t intended to be a caricature.

Normally I’m with you, but I won’t deny this one happened. There are two different reasons though.

1. He was fucking with them.
2. New Yorkers are crazy. And the ones willing to stop and talk are obviously even more unhinged.

Sugar itself doesn’t, I’ve never seen a study showing an actual link between the two. It’s instead excitement to getting something special, not the sugar causing a chemical reaction. Causation and correlation are different.

There is actual evidence of some dyes causing behavioral issues in some children.

This 100%. The issue is not CGI in general, it’s cost cutting and extremely time-constrained CGI. Most people would be surprised what is replaced or reprocessed with CGI in everything they watch. To do things right, takes time. And in many cases it takes the on site production team doing some things as well to assist. If the VFX team has references for things like lighting angles and on-scene pyrotechnics, then they can make things blend a lot better than if they’re spending time trying to match after the fact.

Fuck those type of people. Not much worse than the people who think they’re better than everyone else, yet objectively are shit.

In SEARS case… just going back to what they originally did. They were Amazon before the internet. You got a catalog in the mail, sent in your order and payment, and they would ship you the product. It’s literally the exact same business. It’s not even like Amazon came out of nowhere to be as big as it is today, it was on a clear trajectory, at any time SEARS could have jumped into the ring with the business they originally were instead of sticking to the clearly dying department store model.

They stopped his vehicle after he fled the scene and have him in custody according to the CBS article I read a while ago.

It’s almost surely an automated script for articles when they’re posted. The writer isn’t doing it directly.

It’s basically the same thing. Edge is Chromium based.
