I’m not even an AI-bad person and I can’t stand AI videos. I’d rather watch a reaction video with a real person than this original.

I can only imagine their concern. After all, he alarms me when he’s present and fully sober. I imagine it’s a lot of work keeping up with cognitive dissonance. And one can hope he is kept awake at night fearing what will happen to him when the rule of law returns.

I would never wish rape on anyone, but I do hope he has nightmares about large cell mates.

They won’t make sense to you, and they will never not make sense to them.

If this were Trump’s AG, I’d agree. But my read isn’t so negative about the CA AG.

It’s a forty-five year old photo of myself. My kids aren’t present on my social media. In fact I’m not on social media except as an anonymous person. So while I appreciate your message, you’re missing me with it.

That’s partly why the analysis is hilarious to me. Political parties aren’t the same now. Incomes aren’t the same. I was “vandalizing” sand at a campground. I can’t even begin to understand the presumption of Christian background or what that has to do with the sexual orientation of a 7 year old.

Oh that’s a wonderful laugh. Thank you!

Yeah, to me the important thing is the triggering of the memory. I wish the AI could’ve cleaned up the picture without adding a lot of its own artifacts. It is too sanitized. But it’s better than garbage quality picture of a picture. To me.

That’s fair. I don’t disparage that opinion. In a lot of cases I would agree. But not always.

Eh. Every once in a while I do appreciate this.

You can completely tell which is the AI photo, yet both preserve the memory and the essence of the moment. I hate that I have just a shitty quality picture of a picture of that moment. The quality of the AI version was enough that even my mom, who probably took the photo, couldn’t tell the difference.

I get that it isn’t the same but when all you have is a garbage version of a memory, I’m not sure or really matters whether the representation is the original garbage or something that makes you feel less regret over not having something better.

I feel like it wouldn’t be worse that getting into an accident and then… another accident.

I guess you can take the baby out of the well, but you can’t take the Texas out of the baby.

I missed it. I think a year is fine for a repost, especially assuming the sub had grown since then.

Frankly, I think my dad’s generation had it better. And I think I have it better than my millennial kids. And it looks like they will have it better than my teens.

I wouldn’t probably say I’d trade places with the average person because there are a lot of poor folks who have things worse than me. But quality is life in America is getting worse.

The average lifespan has double since 1900.

Which is another way of saying child mortality is down, but wait! Look what direction that is trending!

Hunger has decreased incredibly over the last decades.

Food insecurity is currently a big problem for American children and families.

Infectious diseases are way down.

We just ended vaccine mandates, ended funding for RNA vaccines, and infectious diseases are on the rise.

The tools and technologies available to us are far beyond what former generations even dreamed of.

And largely are subscription services designed to prey on us rather than make life easier. I have a robot vacuum that takes more effort and maintenance than my grandparents’ Electrolux ever did.

Report them to the police for what? Existing?

You mean besides your back, right? I feel like that’s a given.

Exactly.

Claude:

The friends we made was also Claude, though.

I’m curious to see where things go with the cop. He has a complicated relationship with his son, and with the Empire. Both of those are going to lead to conflicts for him. Sometimes I find the ordinary folks in Star Wars to be some of the most interesting. I have a feeling Rylee are Devon are going to meet at some point, as they both have issues with their father figures.

That is, unfortunately incorrect. They write it up and their pet legislators introduce it. Yes it has to get voted on and there is more to it, but the actual verbiage? That is all too often written by lobbyists.
