Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots
  • I don't see how this is money laundering or wire fraud. I hope he gets off. Or the real best solution would to make it so the revenue just goes to the artists the AI is ripping off.

    Boobplate (Ironlily)
  • 1, "doesn't give a shit about defense" so that's the explanation for the lack of armor right? I'm not surprised a demon wouldn't worry about protecting organs they might not even have.

    2, is the boob shape on the chestplate why it doesn't get the full 10? Would you rather the chestplate be flat and be very uncomfortable for her boobs?

    3, is there a reason the wings are coming from the demon's lower back?

    so what's your threshold for calling police on random situations in your area that appear strange and potentially violent?
  • The police are typically just there to point guns, so I'd only call if I thought a gun was useful, which is extremely rare.

    e: I'm answering from the USA

    but

    I would absolutely change that stance if we took guns away from cops and stopped giving them military training. Especially if they had a social worker / deescalation force that was more likely to be sent.

    Music concerts should get quieter
  • I understand the point and have definitely thought similar BUT, I like being able to feel the low end which can't happen at low volume.

  • I saw someone say it was because she's supporting dems but that doesn't seem like enough for the amount of dunking I've seen. Did y'all think she was so far to the left that that would be a betrayal? I've typically thought of her as a progressive more than a leftist. Is there some statement she made I'm not aware of?

  • Better idea. Let's just actually take money out of politics. No PACs, no lobbying, no political donations of any kind. Make it impossible to enrich yourself by becoming a politician.

    Single payer/socialized heath care vs private vs combined
  • I was expecting this to be a story of an issue, but this is actually really encouraging for what single payer could look like. The time scale isn't great, but it's pretty comparable to what I've experienced and heard about from friends here in the "efficient" private US system.

    Fringe

    The boys

    Yellow jackets

    Stranger things

    What is a stupid question?
  • People have already correctly answered that in this community there are no stupid questions, you're supposed to be able to ask anything without ridicule. But if you want to permit the general existence of stupid questions, here's the definition I've always used.

    A stupid question is one you can easily answer yourself.

    As in, any question due to real lack of knowledge is not stupid, but if you can answer your own question just by thinking about it for a second, then it wasn't necessary to ask and therefore "stupid”.

  • [opinion] I don't care if you abstain from voting for president.

    Don't vote for president if you don't want to, I get it. It's stupid we only have 2 options, especially when both are in mental decline and show little to no ambition to reduce needless deaths and suffering. Both want to move this country towards fascism, and both are creating a worse world they won't have to live in for much longer.

    To those who see this and think I'm saying both sides are the same, I'm not. I'll probably vote for Biden in November because he's driving towards the cliff at a slower speed and at least does the bare minimum for marginalized in this country. Also Trump said some pretty racist shit last night. Still, to those who don't want to support either candidate for the reasons above, that's valid.

    The point I'm getting to is VOTE DOWN BALLOT. Vote for your congress person and your senator, both federal and state. Vote for your city council and your sheriff and whatever bills there are and everything else. That's where the fight still matters. That's where you can make the most difference. The social justice you want to see won't get near the white house until it's represented in the lower offices. It doesn't matter who the president is if you get enough decent people in a position to stand in their way.

    unnecessary addendum

    That's the important bit but here's a some sort messages to a few blocks of voters. To Republicans and right wingers, you should reevaluate your positions because what you're supporting is stupid and selfish and often inhumane. To Democrats, if you get enough control over the house and senate it doesn't really matter if Trump is president, also recognize and correct the failures of your party please. To the leftists, please run for office and bring those ideas into the mainstream discussion, try to reach out to your community and to share rather than driving them away with self righteousness. Also, don't be bigoted, that goes for everyone.

    Edit: I even said I was voting for Biden and the libs are still mad I think he sucks. Again, the point of this post is to get people to pay attention to the other things on their ballot. The president isn't as important or as powerful as we act like it is. And if you want better options, you have to support better options in races where they actually have a chance.

    With most links it goes to the browser version which plays within Jerboa, but with YouTube video links it always takes me away to the YouTube app. Can it not do that please? Thanks

    The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.

    They're even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.

    I'm an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I'm at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I'm not dirt poor. What's a position I could reasonably obtain?

    My college roommate had this little box that had 2 controllers and RCA'd into the TV that contained basically every game from the most important retro consoles. All the important consoles and games pre y2k. Including Nintendo, Atari, Sega, and maybe some arcade. I assume I can't get it through normal channels because of some of those roms are unsanctioned, but where might I get something like that? Thanks!

    When I lie, it's most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you're likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?

    Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?
