Well the earliest I can think of christians getting in to politics is ancient Rome, but I’m sure it’s been happening since before then too. As for the US, something tells me they’ve been involved from the start, regardless of what the constitution says.
I think the particular issue with the dog meat industry is that it has high amounts of cruelty, even by meat industry standards. Iirc there’s the belief involved that if the dog suffers it makes the meat taste better. So at many farms they are often tortured before death and killed in painful ways. They are also kept in horrendous conditions. Farm animals are often kept in horrendous conditions as well, but generally that’s because of a lack of regulation and most people who oppose dog meat farms also oppose the mistreatment of farm animals as well.
One side is literally trying to erase the rights of people like me and my friends, while the other isn’t. So what I think is that you should shut the fuck up.
Yeah I wouldn’t have an issue with them if they weren’t so incompatible with most of the programs and sites I like to use. It makes them super inconvenient to work with. I know some apps are catching up and supporting them, but it feels like the adaptation is slow and patchy which makes it difficult to know which programs will support webp at some point and when.
This dude is basically just writing historical fanfiction at this point. Add vampires or zombies and maybe he could sell a book.
Anyone still trying to claim “both sides” at this point are just willfully ignorant.
Sure, but it ain’t because of a dollar extra on spotify.
It’s a tweet not a thesis statement. It isn’t difficult to understand what they’re saying without needing them to send it in to an editor to make sure it meets academic standards of conveying info.
They raised the price by 1 whole dollar after however many years and y’all are acting like it’s the tech apocalypse. This is hardly on the same scale as what Netflix is doing.
Not really, the article mentions the monthly amount, so they compared it to a monthly amount from someone who makes less money per year. A yearly salary is what most people in the work force in the US are used to talking about when referencing income, which is why they used that instead of monthly income. It also contrasts the dramatic difference in income between the average worker and someone who makes many times more in a single month than the average person does in an entire year.
I’m sure black people couldn’t possibly have developed these skills on their own terms if they were free. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yes, I would say the same thing about capital punishment, I’m not a fan of it personally.
Historically the guys using firing squads have not generally been the good guys.
There’s this delusion amongst transphobes that they can “always clock a tranny” and that they’re never wrong when they decide that someone is secretly trans because they have a more prominent Adam’s apple or something equally stupid. Of course the truth is that they’re wrong constantly and are just idiot bigots, which this illustrates rather poignantly unfortunately. They don’t really know who is or isn’t trans, they just want to pretend they know so they can feel vindicated by “recognizing” trans people, and they convince themselves that trans people can never truly blend in to society. Because if trans people really were capable of being indistinguishable from cis people, then that would mean that at some point they might have, gasp, treated a trans person like a human being and used the proper pronouns. The horror.
Of course trans people shouldn’t have to blend in, they shouldn’t have to pass to be treated as the gender they identify as, or with basic human decency.
Okay, same question but change the pronoun to her. Wtf does her being a pilot have to do with anything?
Apparently it only saw a gain in subscriptions in countries where the price of Netflix is really low, so there’s more factors at work in this case I think.
Nah I’ll just pirate shit instead.
Aight then wtf does her being a pilot have to do with anything.
Tf does him being a pilot have to do with anything?
Instructors and art books literally give permission to use them as a “stepping stone” by definition. The entire point of them is to offer input to other artists.
Also the main difference is that a human has a human mind and is making creative decisions unique to that human. The problem is that a narrow AI algorithm cannot be anything BUT derivative. They don’t think, they don’t have a mind that filters the data through a unique perspective, they just process the data like a series of conveyer belts. If you never give a human any input from other artists they can still make art, that’s why we have cave paintings. But a narrow AI algorithm needs specific input via specific pieces of art or else it can’t create anything. With that in mind permission and consent is much more important to the artists whose specific pieces are being fed into the algorithm. It’s generally considered good form to credit inspiration in derivative work, but we understand that human nature means that humans may not always remember or realize what or who inspired them. AI doesn’t have that excuse. We are perfectly capable of only feeding images that we are given permission to use into AI, and we are perfectly capable of having the AI log and report what works it used data from.
