This administration is pure theatre. How many of those cabinet positions are filled by anyone qualified for the job? Many of them came directly from Fox News.

TBH this would have been a nice offer to anyone who buys a PS5 after the price increase. But since that didn't happen, I don't think Sony has anything to gain from giving away Dreams for free. The Dreams community has largely abandoned the game. If they hadn't, maybe Dreams would still have value.
It's simpler than that. One party tends to ignore all crimes committed by its members, particularly with respect to crimes of a sexual nature. Jim Jordan went from being a sex offender to being a member of Congress. That doesn't happen for anyone who isn't a MAGA grifter.

Unfortunately, because our political system is based on geographic representation of land more than demographic representation of people, the rural/urban divide has been a continuous source of political friction since before suburbs ever existed.
I don't support Gavin Newsom for President and that's because I don't support any of the announced 2028 Presidential candidates. Y'all fucking twitter addicts turned this entire country into a Twitter style shitshow, and then get mad when reality begins to reflect Twitter discourse. This is on you
Here's what it comes down to: Democratic party propagandists have been shaming progressives since Hillary Clinton's 2016 flip for not supporting the establishment. And now even though Gavin isn't running for President, people are saying we shouldn't enjoy his tweets because he would be a bad Pres.
I don't understand why so many people see Gavin Newsom's press tweets getting so much positive traction and their response is "Gavin Newsom would be a terrible president for trans people and Palestine." Yeah? So is literally every Democratic presidential nominee.

He's a low IQ bigot who managed to use mainstream TV programming to launder his image and cosplay as a successful business person. He's actually really good at TV, without even trying. Most of his supporters resent anyone who can string together a coherent thought. He is their fantasy inner self.

LOL YOU REPOSTED THIS
And yet you started this comment thread by assuming who was and wasn't part of NPR's audience based on how informed they are about a specific topic. Sucks to suck, bootlicker.
I didn't assume anything about everyone, I just correctly identified the audience for NPR culture pieces.

It's unfortunate that people will fixate on opportunities to argue.
This is the most IRL acquisitions incorporated thing I have seen in 39 years of Earth residence.
Yeah, because the audience is "people who don't know anything and are easily misled"
As a progressive, I have no idea why people look to NPR and expect quality journalism. The only part of NPR that is marginally in touch with the world is Tiny Desk. Everything else they do is free PR for corporations and other big donors.
If it gets taken down from Spotify, will I still be able to buy it?
We are still not to the point where professional studios are fully digital, because the amount of real-time audio processing happening in a professional sized mixer is so completely beyond what any professional/commercial computer technology is capable of managing. /3
With a 2Ghz processor, that only allows for 50,000 steps of addition and subtraction per sample cycle. Those 50,000 steps have to include input operations, signal processing, signal manipulation, more signal processing, and output. All while still running Windows/MacOS and not locking up visually.
TBH it's mindblowing to me that modern computers can do such significant real-time processing of uncompressed audio data. The amount of data input bandwidth and math operations happening at a 40-44Khz sample rate are truly staggering. 1/

I'll be honest, when I look at our society it feels like everything in the last 20-70 years has been centered on "permission to abandon critical thinking". I don't think that everyone should learn map-reading skills. I do recognize that people are dumber for relying on GPS. AI is just the peak.
Genuinely trying to understand what it is about the Infinity Nikki community that compels 60 people to watch someone bitching about the game on Twitch.
Yeah its one of my favs from the last several years of new releases
A generalist skillset is a fantastic resource to possess and a terrible resource to sell in the labor market. And unfortunately, while AI can make people feel more knowledgeable and capable about virtually any topic or subject, it requires prior expertise to discern whether AI output is correct.
I got the Platinum trophy for Infinity Nikki today. It's genuinely a mountain climb of a trophy, and took me roughly 8 months of regular play.

Also: people only get reduced sentences if they provide information that leads to the conviction of other criminals. It would be absolute insanity to give a convicted criminal a reduced sentence if they testify that "no one else" was involved in the crimes they were convicted for.
I am releasing this idea for free to the world, for the betterment of all humanity.
Did you know that in 2008, Jeffrey Epstein won an 85 million dollar powerball lottery, In Oklahoma, While he was starting his jail sentence in Florida? He won after lottery computers "crashed" and the drawing was "watched by auditors" but not on TV. Interesting story, 100% true. Google Zorro Trust.
Be careful what's on your phone when you go through re-entry to the U.S.
It's kind of hard for the Government to claim that Jeffrey Epstein acted alone when his first trial resulted in non-prosecution agreements for "four unnamed co-conspirators".
"Ideological commitments to minorities" lol, okay buddy. Except for muslims or trans kids, fuck them and fuck me for caring about them. The Clintons are part of the Epstein affair. The Clintons, the DNC, and Media got caught cheating in 2016. How are you going to pretend she was the voters choice?
"primary voters" supposedly nominated Hillary Clinton while she was actively under FBI investigation. And in 2024, "primary voters" had no input at all. I think it's time for the Democrat base to realize that they actually have no influence in the party that demands their complete loyalty.
The Republicans don't win because of Dem infighting, they win because the Dems spend more time focusing on muslims running for mayor than they spend on opposing "big beautiful bills". The Dems don't exist to oppose GOP policies. They exist to sabotage leftist movements and then blame the leftists.
There is a pattern of the DNC floating several "progressive" candidates during primaries, but only if they are slightly out-of-touch and beholden to the system. Gavin Newsom is the most obvious example to date of a flawed candidate who painted himself as a progressive in order to gain power.
I'm starting to wonder if vampire mythology was inspired by people seeing cats upside down.

Kojima apparently had to "tone down the weirdness" to make the game more approachable for a broad audience, so honestly there's not much someone could say about Death Stranding 2 that would seem out of place to me.
I see a top on your top and a bottom on your bottoms. Somewhere in-between slay and insane.

Also, does BlueSky have any bot detection features I should know about? It's depressing enough to know how stubbornly uninformed real internet commenters were, and now there's potentially also AI commenters running around.
The Dept of Defense and frankly 95% of the Dept of State are perfect examples of the many parts of Govt that don't fall into the False Rubric described in my comment. Things benefits the elites are allowed to exist without being questioned or even mentioned, vs services that benefit all Americans.
No one talks about cancelling the Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management, because these are actively exploited by resource extraction industries despite the fact that the Govt gets terrible returns. Compared to the Natl Parks service which benefit local economies but not Natl industries.
At some point, the American people were conned into believing that Govt services can be put into two categories: Entitlements, and Consumer Services Which Should Pay For Themselves. It's not a remotely accurate rubric, but it creates the pretext for cutting literally anything that helps Americans.
My dude, We are comparing what feels natural in video to what our eyes see in the real world. Like, do you know there is an outside world? One that people born in the last millennium were "trained" on quite heavily?
The fact that they brought up high-SPEED cameras as a supposed counterpoint to why MOTION blur exists, absolutely wild and unhinged. If their own examples don't even support the point that they are trying to make, I don't think there's literally any example we could use that they would understand.
Both blur and motion are a function of position (relative to an observer) over the domain of time. They are literally single-variable phenomena that are both based on the exact same variable. Blur and motion are the exact same phenomenon from a Newtonian perspective.
I feel like photography is the perfect subject to let people connect their subjective experiences to a more concrete piece of evidence. Photos make this phenomenon abundantly clear, and also allow us to dissect/describe the blurring effect with great precision. It's physics, not biology.
I don't want to keep adding to an already braindead comment thread, but today I ran into someone on the internet who tried to sound very very smart while also arguing that motion does not cause blur. I mean, wow. Hats off to your parents for keeping you alive through childhood, I guess.
The speed of the camera determines the blur of the object, because blur *is* intrinsic and can only be reduced as a function of time. What do you think causes blur in long exposure photos? Genuinely? Explain object blur to me (and don't reference focal distance).
He also likes drawing F bombs! And being wildly incorrect but using big words to make sure no one can tell how vapid his opinions are!
Clearly I'm not, because you still won't take any time to understand your own position let alone mine. Continue wasting your own time as you see fit. It's all just popcorn for us! 🍿
You can always go offline for 5 minutes to reflect on what you're actually saying.
That's a lot of words that have defined meanings without any source material. It really is tautological. Motion means blur. If you want to proce me wrong, take a non-blurry photo of an object moving 1,000 miles an hour as it passes within 100 meters of you.
It shouldn't be hard to understand, even for Gamers. Motion is relative. When you follow the "movement" of one object it appears stationary while everything else appears to move. Motion causes "blur". This has been a game setting in basically every AAA title for a decade. It's near tautological.
Remember: social change is always a bottom-up process. The candidates we get to vote for can reflect the fruits of real grass roots politics, such as Mamdani and AOC. The system makes it nearly impossible for outsiders to win big elections. Seeing a grassroots candidate in contention is amazing.
I love how she thinks that blatant Islamophobia is as prevalent among NYC voters as it is among the total US population. Cuomo really is the best candidate for Islamophobes. And sadly he stands a real chance at becoming a DNC presidential nominee.
Can we at least wait until after Pride Month to start talking about the Straight of Hormuz?

If only we could air the Epstein files and stop seeing Bill Clinton wheeled out by the DNC every 2-4 years.
Congress doesn't vote on anything until they know what the result will be. They don't know what the result will be because they haven't had sufficient time to manufacture consent. While I appreciate your efforts in defending the separation of powers, within 30 days MAGA will be lockstep pro war.
Thanks for the headsup, immediate block.

Is Warren Beatty still making shoestring budget productions just to keep the IP rights to Dick Tracy? I swear, he's like the only one who ever gave the Disney lawyers a solid L.
Fixation on edge cases is part of our human fallibility. It's easy to imagine scenarios that diverge from the ideal. It's less easy to accurately assess the likelihood and overall tangible impacts of specific scenarios.

X lost 80% of its value. I thought Mark Cuban was supposed to be good at business. Why is he telling a growing company to act like a failing one? Is Mark Cuban stupid? Or is he lying on behalf of X's fascist user base? Genuinely hard to tell the difference here.
It's called "the marketplace of ideas", Cuban. If a community has rejected your ideas, it's not the community who has a problem they need to reflect on. It's you. You know who's leaving X? 80% of their market valuation. Why should any other business ever emulate those results?
He's lying. To a reactionary or regressive, X is their safe space. What he means by "lack of diversity of thought" is that the BlueSky community heavily pushes back against bigotry. He's basically saying "Nazis tried to take over BlueSky and couldn't so they went back to X". It's damning.
Imagine how much our politicians would be crying over the tea that Boston protestors dumped into the harbor. I hate to admit it but both our parties are equally committed to status quo power structures. We never would have become an independent country under these treasonous monarch worshippers.
