There’s several ways to discourage bots, despite what others here are saying. It’s just not easy and requires adding additional measures, MFA being an example. And really anything you do in that regard will also make it more difficult for your customers to buy things.

How ill the IOC members buy new boats without those bribes though?  They can’t ALL go to work for FIFA!

My wife and I have tried to watch a couple of the full, four-hour events live on Peacock, but the real-time gets a little tedious because of the big gaps. Watching them on replay was much better because we could fast-forward through the non-action parts and we could skip around through some of the event.

Everything NBC does to show the Olympics is the wrong decision. If there’s a choice to make, and one can be right and the other wrong, then NBC can be counted on to make the wrong one.

This is just fetish Mad Libs at this point.

When people oppose affordable housing, they often do it for reasons other than distaste for poorer people. Instead, they raise the kinds of concerns Chappelle is voicing here: the development is not consistent with the character of the neighborhood, or it won’t be aesthetically pleasing, or it will increase traffic,…

If you gonna report something, report it right. Thank the television program In Living Color for bringing Michael Jackson to Super Bowl XXVII. Fox showed an episode of the show live opposing Super Bowl XXVI’s halftime show & it drew a sizeable chunk of the audience from that game. It was hyped up as much as The Super…

I add depth and shading to give the image more definition. Only then does the drawing truly take shape.

If you don’t think that using references and tracing is not a thing in the professional art world, you’re very much incorrect. Even the old masters did this, just look up “camera obscura”.

Definitely directly replicated, but there’s no reason to assume they’re traced. The artist is clearly good enough to just copy something from reference, and apart from the composition, nothing lines up perfectly enough to suggest they’re literally traced. But then, I feel like a lot of people these days use the word…

I don’t have any problems with any of this.  They all seem different enough to be considered an original piece.  There’s original artistry in ever single one of these.

“Your mother’s a tracer!”

I see that, but again, the people in CR have basically been the definition of good allies. They apologize almost instantly for any mistake made, and do their best to be inclusive and to help people.

Well the mistake here is that liberals are not leftists and rich white people are not particularly good at standing in solidarity with marginalized populations.

I understand people’s reticence to this, especially if you belong to the cultures this particular fantasy-inspired campaign exists in, but if your example boils down to them wearing some costumes in a silly promo piece that explorers used to wear, then that’s... not a lot.

That pretty much somes up 99% of the “outrage” reported by the news thjese days.  Its a handful of people on Twitter bitching.
