Being gullible or stupid isn’t an excuse.

Especially not in 2024.

Man, after the dust settled once the third reich crumbled, that was the excuse millions of people in Germany had.

Most people weren’t on board with or even know about the genocidal engine underpinning it all, but they sure as hell could see the other bad shit that was going on, and by the time it was obvious for everyone, it was much too late, because they controlled everything and harsh punishments were known to be expected for everyone except the ultra-privileged.

Nah, man. Being an inflexible, obnoxious asshole is not an excuse to put millions of people in danger and setting horrendous precedents.

It is.

Not to body shame, but… What is this motherfucker on (seriously)?

It looks like his cranium is swollen. As in, only the skull bones.

Is it the omega adrenochrome?

Always gonna upvote New Vegas.

Great song from a rather underrated nu metal gem of an album.

Jag håller helt med. Tveksamt beslut av vem som nu godkände detta.

Det framgår väl i artikeln att kameran i fråga har ett “inbyggt”, dvs hårdkodad censur som inte går att ta bort från råmaterialet.

Men ja, de som bodde där kunde ju ha fysiskt skärma av om det ändå känts olustigt.

Sheesh, apparently it’s 340 eur ordered from Sweden. I mean, I’m sure it’s great, but that’s an insanely steep price.

I hope you find good use for it!

These models can’t write satisfyingly/convincingly enough yet.

But they will.

You know, Costco exists in Europe as well, with the same food order menu.

Porn fakes are old news, yes - but what the post you replied to is talking about is “deep learning” (remember that, before the great deluge of “AI”?) fakes, which to some extent either uses generative networks to swap out or alter the face/body, or straight up generate simulacra graphics/video, as opposed to a human doing for the most part comparatively bad hack jobs with multiple sources as in the past.

Just… Read the post, maybe?

Seems like they’re experimenting with acquisition this time around. After the slog that is Protea, Citrine etc, I’m all for it.

Hopefully they stick with this, or figure out more interesting ways of making acquisition feel more meaningful.

At least the game mode (Disruption) is actually pretty fun and a very decent arcane grind to boot.

Best small update in a long time, imo.

Four of the most prolific serial killers were based in south American countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Brazil etc.

After those, it’s India, China, Pakistan, former Soviet states, Russia and so on.

Hardly first world countries, and especially not when these killings took place.

Those killers’ body counts eclipse all American killers’ by a very significant margin.

Gary Ridgway (the Green River Killer) is the most prominent American serial killer by a mile, but he’s not that “famous” even though he was arrested and convicted rather recently (about 20 years ago).

He is an uninteresting person who is rather stupid, doesn’t do interviews and doesn’t revel in his infamy like the more famous serial killers do or did. He’s almost more akin to a rabid animal as far as public perception goes.

Furthermore, the decline of serial killers, even with more interest and attention than ever, I think is largely attributed to better social safety nets.

As it turns out, it seems that in at least some cases, socialistic policies work surprisingly well.

A huge point of legalizing is to take away a large percentage of gangs’ income by making legitimate businesses replace their supply chain over time.

Obviously criminals are still going to be deep in that as well, especially since they already have a lot of the supply already in place, but people are more inclined to work with police if they aren’t at risk for being hassled by them for their drug use and/or business with said drugs.

It’s basically death by a thousand cuts (over time) for criminal enterprises.

Also, if there’s no reason to be scared of the cops or the justice system (that’s rich!), you’re also more likely to cooperate with police if your legitimate drug business is being squeezed or compromised by criminals.

This should’ve already happened, of course, because now the problem really is the amount of money criminals have made off of the illegal drug trade, rivaling many nations. That money is being laundered and injected into legitimate businesses and investments, solidifying criminals’ leverage over the economy.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard, but how expensive can a goddamn Wile E. Coyote movie be?

It just seems a little odd to me that this is the big “public” write-off, considering some of the trash they’ve put out that didn’t break even.

I mean… Imagine how terrible it’s gotta be for the doofuses at WB to shelf this, considering the utter garbage they’ve been putting out since forever.

There’s also this: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJM198202113060613?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub 0pubmed

“In a person smoking 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes per day, the radiation dose to the bronchial epithelium in areas of bifurcation is 8000 mrem per year – the equivalent of the dose to the skin from 300 x-ray films of the chest per year. This figure is comparable to total-body exposure to natural background radiation containing 80 mrem per year in someone living in the Boston area.”

8000 mrem is about 80 mSv. A lifetime of background radiation in a year, so quite high.

As said by others; see a physician, then a psychiatrist (in that order).

Auditory pseudo-hallucinations may be completely benign, especially if you’ve partaken in psychedelic substances recent or long since past, but they may also be an early warning sign of (like you said) potential pressure on the brain or abnormality in brain functioning.

And even that might be fine.

Either way, why gamble? Go see a doctor.

It seems like it’ll actually be radically different, and there’s no way it’s coming out until like at least 2026.
