I’d heard he was a bit of an asshole but this is a huge bummer. I think he is one of the most talented composers in my lifetime, and the fact that he chooses to live in a way that embraces an ethic of fear and hatred breaks my heart.

You mean aside from the white nationalism and the “anti-woke” cultural wars? Yeah he’s a shitty dude. 

Well, I guess he’ll have a small fandom a fraction of the size of what he once enjoyed before he outed himself as a horrible human being, even if his music still slaps.

More proof that that the Police themselves really just want to play “army man” with cool guns instead of actually be a force to help people and communities.

It’s very important to boycott Wendy’s, because if this system ends up working, you can be sure it will spread like wildfire through the fast food industry and beyond.

Somehow, I doubt that the staff at Wendy’s will see a dime off this.

Guess I’m not eating Wendy’s anymore.

Shades of the Dashcon ballpit.

Expecting a golden ticket to a world full of imagination but instead got a golden shower of disappointment.

You drive 2 hours based on AI images and zero actual photos/reviews of any venue or event?

I’ve been seeing TONS of ads for these kinds of events all over Facebook. I’ve tried to report them for being misleading or as scams, but Facebook says the ads don’t violate guidelines...we need regulation about AI ads yesterday...

EDIT: Ok, I did just look at this event and the ads, lol...this is laughably bad and I’m…

Others are explaining the difference, so I’ll just chime in on what the issues are. That’s “issues” plural, because there’s multiple conversations around it that tend to get conflated:

Ah yes, the incorrect use of “Luddite” as a pejorative.

The line is where you get the data from.
Playing with things like Perlian noise generators and deciding how they interact with world elements you create with a rule set of how they should and shouldn’t fit together is fine.
Training a program by copying a bunch of other people’s work and having it copy them over each…

I wonder if they’re going to force you to find replacements for all the 10mm sockets you lose?  Only so much suspension of disbelief I can tolerate.

This would simplify the process of deciding where to eat.

So tell me then: what is a vote for Trump? Will it help the Palestinian people? Or will it result in a loss for American democracy AND even worse bloodshed for the Palestinian people?  Choose carefully.

See, folks. Even if a wounded, unpopular Joe Biden can win Michigan and Georgia and narrowly defeat Trump....we’re still screwed. This nation has crossed the Rubicon. Something far worse than Trump is coming. Some of it is already here in the form of medicine bans.

As a huge fan of pinball, judging this game solely on it’s merits as a table, this looks really bad. It’s layout is basic and the table art is super confusing. Pinball is a very quick game. Good luck figuring out anything you need to know with this mess of a layout.

As a guy who played pinball before the Magnavox Odessey and Pong existed, this is a disgrace to pinball (not to mention the American people).
