i got a reusable sticker book exactly for this reason. it’s a notebook with pages of release paper so that you can stick and peel off stickers easily. it gives me the satisfaction of “using” my stickers without the permanence of losing them after sticking

👻👻👻

i heard a similar idea that if humans can’t see air then maybe undersea creatures can’t see water. so fish would be like birds and crustaceans would be like land dwellers. so yeah jellyfish being storm clouds checks out

it’s looking blue to me

you’re right, i think we’re in agreement. the side with guns and tanks retaliated against the side with bricks and molotov cocktails by opening fire

I’m less concerned about the specifics of where it happened and how many people died, and more concerned about how military personnel shot live ammunition at citizens.

According to the Tiananmen Papers, a collection of internal Communist party files, soldiers started using live ammunition at around 10.30pm, after trying and failing to disperse the crowd with tear gas and rubber bullets.

my favorite part about these kinds of comments is that the article they commonly cite basically says there was no tiananmen massacre because the massacre happened outside of the square in the rest of beijing, and that’s treated like it’s some big gotcha

i’ve been looking at mamavation’s reports and jumping directly to the raw data at the bottom. here’s the bandages one

there’s also one for toilet paper which links to a lot of other items, and i’ll throw in a free rick roll because i’m bored

i imagine this problem is negligible because of how easily people can travel. diseases don’t stop spreading when they see a political border, and there are plenty of other places in the world that are much more remote and more likely to have diseases americans are not resistant to

oh yes i’ve noticed that sometimes. it always makes me do a double take, especially if it’s something very obvious like $3 per 4 oz and $7 per 8 oz

i check the price per unit weight so at least that’s not what i’m getting

i easily get annoyed at eating the same food so i end up just having a really really stocked freezer

in hindsight that’s seems like my actual problem

respect bro

it’s an anime original about an animator who can complete work unrealistically fast by a studio with a reputation of overworking their animators

even bakers dozens, potentially!

the industry only cares about the money-making weebs

Not to disagree, but what examples are there of a different system being practiced which have a more even distribution of wealth?

agreed, it’ll just be automated and even faster now

That’s a very misleading title, since “battles” here is referring to survey results and not actual legal battles. The results make sense though. AI will probably generate the most popular kind of post because that’s what has the most representation in its training data.

The main issue here is what is “popular” changes over time, and is directly related to what is available to the public. So if AI floods the internet with the same style of posts because it’s currently the most popular, that style will quickly become boring, and using AI to get clicks will essentially lead to it writing itself into obsolescence. Until it gets trained or fine tuned on a new dataset which includes its own results, which leads to a separate issue where the training data is objectively bad.
