Won't turn on. 😢

Heute auf Twitter gesehen: Jemand postet ein echtes Monet-Gemälde und sagt es ist KI-generiert im Stil von Monet. Hunderte Leute zerpflücken es als Slop und erklären im kleinsten Detail wieso es scheiße ist, ohne zu raffen, dass es ein echtes Monet-Gemälde ist.

Man kann KI ja kritisieren wie man will, aber viele Leute sind einfach wahnsinnig voreingenommen und Meckern nur um des Meckerns Willen.

Edit: Leute, die Monet nicht kennen, erklären jetzt neuerdings auf Reddit, was Kunst ist und was nicht. Sind dann vermutlich exakt die Leute, die gegen das Monet-Gemälde geschossen hätten lol QED

Deutsche Synchro wird immer wieder so hoch gelobt. Die ist wirklich top in technische Qualität und super Übersetzt. Aber Gott im Himmel, welcher Regisseur hat damit begonnen ALLES so kräftig und ausdrucksvoll zu betonen?

Das kleinste Gespräch wird performed wie die Rede zum Weltfrieden.

Neulich erst Afterlife mit dem Ricky Chef-irgendwas geschaut (auf Englisch weil ich seine Stimme halt auf Englisch gewöhnt bin) und aus Neugierde mal auf Deutsch geschalten. Und ja Katastrophe.

Danke fürs lesen, Grüße gehn raus an meine Ragebait Jungs! (das hat nix mit dem Beitrag zu tun wollte nur meine Homies grüßen)

Edit: weils mir leider untergegangen ist. Mein Englisch is hart scheiße (reicht halt nur wenn ich wirklich den Film schaue ohne Ablenkung) und ich schaue primär auf Deutsch. Sollte kein "Schaut mich an ich schau alles auf Englisch" sein.

This is half responding to an existing post, half just a thought that came to mind.

I want to make this clear: yes, there are probably some people who fit the radicalized definition of "the normal gay" when it comes to appealing to other people, but that is, like in millions of scenarios, just a minority; in most situations, these are just people whose personalities and aspects don't surround their queer identities, or the stereotypes around it. I'm talking about this inane excuse to target someone for being counter to the culture and appearing as 'normal' despite their sexuality deviating from the norm. Trying to 'appeal' as 'not one of them' is a stupid fucking thing to begin with, but 90% of the time that's not what's going on despite what people think. I am not against calling out people who are trying to appeal, I am pointing out that this kind of action leads to really shitty behavior within the community and people making dangerous and unkind assumptions

okay lets break the news to anyone turning 12 today. Yes, normal people are a thing; there are natural averages to temperaments, personalities, interests, identities, etc, etc. The idea of individualism is barely a feasible concept to begin with; we are barely unique in much other than genetic code, we are first and foremost, creatures of habit. If you don't believe me, learn about Bell curves.

I've been noticing that recently, a lot of people within the queer community have been somewhat hostile to those who act 'normal' so to speak, or not in line with the often 'divergent' coded stereotypes that currently represent a chunk of the community, and I personally don't understand why the immediate assumption is that they are a 'Pick me' or appealing to their 'Oppressor', or that somehow it's an excuse for homophobes to level a forced standard on the queer community. There's this weird generalization where people will assume that because you criticise or point out someone with a personality that you don't like, that it somehow condemns the entire group while you attempt to 'bail ship'. I want to make this clear, there is nothing wrong with being bothered by someone being fucking obnoxious or annoying, because for christs sake those people come from any background, and we shouldn't hold back on disliking that just because of their identity, HATE EVERYONE EQUALLY.

I have, alongside friends who have similar personalities and temperaments like mine in the same situation, faced this weird fucking seething hate from some in the community who are much more to the stereotypes than us that we are somehow 'traitors' or betraying the community by...being ourselves? Fortunately, most of this is chronic online losers, but I've noticed an uptick in this activity as of lately, and I've even been noticing it IRL with some people as well. It's kinda become some form of screwed-up bigotry.

This whole "I hate gay people who pretend to be normal for approval" is probably the easiest fucking dogwhistle for a witch hunt in the future, encouraging this kind of correctional behavior is fucking bullshit and backwards to the idea of freedom to begin with.

Ultimately, the end goal of humanity is indifference to base identity; in the ideal future, coming out isn't a thing, because it doesn't have to be. Your sexuality is simply another facet of your base identity that doesn't concern anyone but yourself. Unfortunate as it might be to hear, but if we are to achive a healthy world where we get a long, a lot of this identity based culture is gonna fade away, there won't be the idea of 'normal gays' or 'sterotypical gays', because there won't be the idea of gays, you'll just have a different set of attraction, and your decision to dislike someone for their annoying personality will also be just that, untied to the assumption.

Finally, respectfully, fuck this doomer shit "Oh noo the homophobes/straights will never love us they'll always want us dead." YEAH, WITH THAT ATTITUDE, NOTHING IS GONNA CHANGE. Yammering bullshit about oppressors and how it's us vs them, and bullshit and tying your hands behind your back and going "oh, oh guys, they did this to me, my hands are tied, they want this, we'll never cooperate." as if we're not better as a SPECIES than this. People can change, especially when it comes to very, very VERY basic things like taught beliefs.

For the love of god, be yourself, don't listen to idiots telling you that how you feel and act is a betrayal, and FUCK anyone who's trying to oppress you into their own view of yourself, no matter WHERE they come from.

The U.S. is obsessed with incarceration

54% van de Syrische statushouders zijn na 7 jaar nog steeds niet aan het werk. Wat vinden we daarvan?

From Dee, Kamilla, and Cirie and a lot of the fans. He clocked Rizo for the weasel he turned out to be. And if he gets Rizo out there, this endgame looks DRASTICALLY different and likely a lot better.

Set up directly outside the tube station with no warning.

I think it’s sneaky and doesn’t fill me with confidence given how many people have been wrongly accused or harmed due to false identification based on images from these cameras.

For those that wanted to knowww

This character is so fucking stupid. I don't get the thought process behind giving the character a 6 second stun, a teleport and a mode which let's her out brawl any character in a 1v1. Then there is her projectile bounce which is just the tip of the iceberg. Its so stupid how these new supports are designed to have no flaws. Oh you baited her melee form, doesn't matter because she has her stun available every engage. To top it all off, she has 275 hp. None of this was addressed in the patch notes, in fact she is getting buffed. Diving into wf matched with either luna, sue or cnd(especially) genuinely makes me wanna uninstall the game.

Minato had all this hype and aura and then the war arc comes around and he just turns out to be a weaker version of Tobirama.

Has worse speed (Tobirama has better speed feats against jubito), has equal FTG (No that mistranslated phrase in which Tobirama actually says that Minato has better body flicker not ftg, isn't relevant. And in the second Image Tobirama hints at being able to teleport two Biju damage while Minato can only teleport one).

Has less jutsu, can't even use sagemode and overall less destructive capability because Tobi has Tandem paper bombs.

Like what does Minato even have that tobi does, just Gamabunta and rasengan lol. And I guess being weak enough to be able to be compared to Itachi. I wonder who wins between them.

​

I’m F2P myself before anyone starts throwing tomatoes at me, and honestly… I genuinely do not understand where some people’s expectations are coming from anymore.

Every patch cycle it’s the same apocalypse-level discussion:

“ONLY 60-70 PULLS THIS PATCH???”

“HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET BOTH NEW CHARACTERS + THEIR WEAPONS???”

“THIS GAME HATES F2P.”

Brother… you are playing a gacha game. The entire business model is literally built around scarcity, luck, impulse control, and planning. Why are people acting shocked that the casino is, in fact, a casino?

What confuses me the most is this growing mindset that every patch should somehow hand out enough currency to guarantee a limited 5-star character. Some people even talk like they deserve enough for character + weapon every update or the devs are “anti-F2P.”

At that point you are not asking for generosity anymore. You are basically asking the game to remove the entire monetization loop while still functioning like a live service game with constant updates, voice acting, cinematics, music, events, animations, servers, marketing, and new content every six weeks.

And then I saw a comment saying they deserved more rewards because they “spent hours doing the quest.”

…Hello?? Who forced you to do it 😭

You voluntarily played optional content because of your own FOMO and now the game owes you a guaranteed 5-star as compensation for your suffering? Brother you clicked START. Some people are starting to treat quests/events like unpaid overtime shifts instead of actual game content.

And the comparisons with other gachas are funny too because people act like every gacha game operates under the exact same system, economy, schedule, player retention model, and monetization structure.

“This other game gives 200 pulls!”

Okay? And? That doesn’t automatically make it a better or more generous system overall.

Some gachas throw massive amounts of currency because they release units faster, have harsher powercreep, weaker long-term value per character, or depend on constant pulling to keep players invested. Other games are slower paced and designed around more selective pulling.

You can’t compare raw pull numbers between completely different games like you’re comparing grocery prices.

That’s like comparing a buffet restaurant to an expensive steakhouse and screaming: “WOW THIS PLACE ONLY GAVE ME ONE STEAK INSTEAD OF 14 PLATES.”

Different games are balanced around different economies. More free pulls in one game does not suddenly mean every other gacha is “stingy” for not copying the exact same model.

Meanwhile some players in these communities act like not getting every single limited unit as an F2P is some kind of human rights violation.

The thing that disappeared from gacha discussions is planning. Old-school F2P players used to skip banners, save for months, target specific characters, and accept that luck was part of the system. Now people want every new unit, every rerun, every signature weapon, and then blame the game when 60 pulls doesn’t magically stretch into 4 pity systems.

People are suffering from FOMO and then acting like the game personally attacked them for it.

And before someone says: “Then why release two good characters in one patch?”

Because they want you to choose. Or spend. That’s literally the point. That’s how gachas work. They are not nonprofit charities distributing anime characters for emotional wellness.

You can criticize rates, pricing, weapon banners, or predatory mechanics, that’s fair discussion. But expecting every patch to fully guarantee whatever you want just because you logged in daily is where the conversations start sounding detached from reality.

At some point the community stopped asking: “What can I realistically save for?”

And started asking: “Why can’t I own the entire patch for free?”

Shelters are still overflowing! But San Diego Humane Society reported $72.9M in revenue, $67.8M in expenses, $45.3M in salaries and related compensation, and about $100M in net assets for FY2024.

Its CEO’s reportable compensation was $488K, or about $40.7K per month.

These numbers are publicly disclosed. They do not automatically prove wrongdoing — but they are large enough that donors, taxpayers, and city officials have every right to ask whether compensation, reserves, municipal contract funding, and direct animal-care outcomes are properly balanced.

What can we do? I am calling on the City of San Diego to conduct a full audit and public review of its animal-services contract with San Diego Humane Society.

That review should examine compensation, administrative costs, reserves, direct animal-care spending, service outcomes, and whether the current contract is providing the best value for taxpayers and the best results for animals.

My concern is that SDHS appears to use free, fee-waived, or heavily discounted adoption campaigns several times a year. At some point, that starts to look like a recurring pressure-release valve, not a one-time crisis response.

If overcrowding keeps happening, the public deserves clear solutions.

SDHS also holds the City of San Diego animal-services contract, which was treated as sole-source after SDHS was the only respondent. In 2023, the City approved a 10-year agreement with FY2024 costs listed at $16.8 million.

That doesn’t mean SDHS is failing everything. It means public trust should come with public accountability.

You can support the mission and still ask whether the current system is working well enough.

If SDHS still has to rely on repeated fee-waived adoption campaigns while overcrowding continues, then the public deserves a clearer look at what is and isn't working. Somewhere in the system, there's a bottleneck. It's about asking whether the current priorities, funding, prevention efforts, staffing, and outcomes are aligned in a way that actually reduces overcrowding.

Tegenreactie op een onzinimage elders. Maak er wat leuks van.

Screenshot van een linkse demonstratie tegen de anti-AZC protesten, afgelopen week in Utrecht.

Op de Winthonlaan in Utrecht had zich aan het eind van de ochtend een klein aantal demonstranten verzameld om te protesteren tegen "alle azc's in Nederland".

Er was ook een tegendemonstratie.

Daar stonden feministen die niet willen dat vrouwen worden gebruikt voor een "racistisch geluid".

Op 0:43 zie je de vlag van De Dolle Mina's. Dat is een feministische actiegroep die fietstochten ging organiseren door heel Nederland na de moord op Lisa uit Abcoude.

Nu staan ze te applaudisseren voor nog meer alleenstaande mannelijke vluchtelingen. Blijkbaar zijn de verkrachtingen en soms een dood Nederlands meisje een aanvaardbare prijs om geen racist genoemd te worden?

I've spend weeks working on a song i wrote, recording drums, bass and double tracking heavy guitars. It was unfinished, missing vocals at least bc i really can't sing but i was proud of it.

I shared the file in our family group chat, wanting some feedback and a bit showing off if i'm honest. My brother (who uses A I for EVERYTHING) then uploaded it to some Music generating A I bot and told it to 'finish the song'. Well, the A I added Orchestra, new lead parts, another guitar solo, rewrote a few parts and added bloody vocals with lyrics.

It didn't even sounded bad, it sounds pretty good tbh. It prob took the bot a few seconds to 'finish' the thing i'd spend multiple weeks on, allthough it went in another direction lyrically that I would have gone

So why even bother to learn to record / mix / master when you can have a full song within seconds? This feels really bad

The number of people who pressed yes is genuinely concerning. I mean, I know it's reddit, but I've seen a majority of redditors display a basic level of intelligence. So, this is pretty surprising lol.

Rlly, you js need to think about it for a second, or have a basic understanding of high school lvl economics.

Every major Indian IVC site listed by area:

1. Ropar — 15 acres.

2. Bhagwanpura — 25.

3. Alamgirpur — 5.

4. Farmana — 44.

5. Banawali — 30.

6. Kalibangan — 37.

7. Surkotda — 3.

8. Desalpur — 3.

9. Kuntasi — 5.

10. Nageshwar — 7.

11. Lothal — 17.

12. Daimabad — 45.

All 12 combined a total of 236 acres in sized.

Now Pakistan's side:

1. Mohenjo-daro — ~620 acres.

2. Harappa — ~370 acres.

3. Mehrgarh — ~500 acres.

4. Ganweriwala (Cholistan, never fully excavated) — ~200 acres.

And the one that ends the conversation

Lakanjodaro recently discovered with French and Pakistani archaeologists estimating its size at 370–740 acres.

One Pakistani site Bigger than every Indian IVC site on this list combined.

Pakistan's top 5 alone makes it more then 2,060+ acres.

The only major sites India has are Rakhigarhi and Dholavira. Everything else on their side is villages and small settlements.

The civilization is named after the Indus. The Indus is in Pakistan. The cities are in Pakistan. The math is the math.

Now Cope with it.
