I had only heard about the preggo fetish characteristics of this and could not believe it, but now I see it

I think they are saying they would rather depend on software and hardware that they can more or less control rather than cloud services

Any finger could be a good shit post if you use it right

Resigning is a way to call attention to the problem while you still have most of your credibility. There would be a smear campaign against you, but the alternative situation might be after getting fired for cause, where it would be easier to believe that you are just making excuses to save face. Especially if you are already demoralized and don’t have the energy to make a stand, you may start feeding the idea that you are just unfit for the job and lose support internally.

It also adds a bit of chaos into the organization that needs to replace you and may not have somebody prepared to step into a position haunted by this politicized issue and rocky transition. It does happen because organizations are made of limited and discrete people, but it is easy to be afraid of the infinite number of sycophants that must be ready to take their place.

It might be a tactic that is useful in limited situations, but I agree in general that we want rusty cogs slowing down the fascist machine.

But that would also mean “you can do x at the cost of y”. Ambiguous consequences here mean that they could impose a cost that would be too great when doing mental risk/reward calculation.

Get ready for the No Bell Piece Prize Battle Royale. “You want a piece of me?”

I can sort of see that the corner of the frames is a little far from his face, but the arm of the glasses is still flush with his ear and the side of his face. I still don’t believe that the snail is on top of his frames because there isn’t a gap or enough volume to show it. His frames disappear at the nose bridge.

Nobody’s going to mention that the man is wearing glasses and half of the frame has disappeared into the snail?

There is a codependency between urban and rural areas that mean that one would not work as well without the other, so I hope we can all learn to be accepting of one another.

Urban centralization creates a lot of economic demand with high populations and benefits from efficiencies of scale, but has a higher cost to use land.

Rural areas are lower cost, and the expansive areas have lots of natural resources that can be extracted or be used to farm.

Economically, people may be pushed out of cities either because of the basic cost or cost of the area that people want for themselves, so I think it makes sense why they would grow to resent the cities, disregarding cultural differences.

I see you reacting to that perceived hostility as a second or third order effect, but all that does it create a deeper problem.

Plus all of the unmentioned people in the trolley since it would also hit both bridges

Before AI, people manually “Photoshopped” images with different image editing tools. These people took elements from different existing images and put them together to create a new one.

Probably crime

Like a WWE Superstar suplexing the opponent (his own country) to show dominance? Gotcha

A more “controlling” company could try to lock down the cartridge or even a disc with the logic that the license is tied to the purchaser. It doesn’t seem like much since that is the status quo, but last generation Microsoft was testing those waters and we’re just happy that these boundaries aren’t being pushed again right now.

That explains why he is flubbing everything then, huh?

When the clear enemy are the people promoting and creating fascism, I see you focused on a person failing to stand up to it. I do agree it is a huge missed opportunity, but it will be a long term struggle and you might be getting distracted here with infighting.

Sure, we can be angry and learn that we can’t trust this person as much as we hoped, but then we move on and keep pushing to our larger goals.

I can think of at least one person in a more prominent position who I feel is more widely despised and made fun of than Schumer.

I mean if Trump were to attempt to run for president again, I’m sure the Dems would put Obama on the ticket with the same reasoning for a third term.

Maybe Putin isn’t even in control of his own country’s military

Are you salivating there?
