This is why the cattle industry is bad for the planet.
Proof: this is the end result of just one industrial cattle "ranch" during the Beef campaign with Sam Elliott
Hunters actively set out to kill things, spend thousands on equipment, and pay fees for the right to do so. Convince yourself however you need to, but hunters are murderers. You don't accidentally cover yourself in camo and deer piss to go hide in a tree and wait for a deer to come along so you can kill it and claim some sort of "manly" victory over nature or whatever.
Hunters have a desire to kill things. The only difference between a hunter and a serial killer is a modicum of self-control about target selection.
Until the animals are able to speak up for themselves and tell us that they want to die, killing is murder regardless of the mental gymnastics you perform around it.
I get that we have some species that need to be culled for the sake of the greater good /circle of life / balance of nature, etc., but I have no desire to do that work myself.
Hunting is hobby-murder regardless of the justification you put behind it.
No problem helping them if I ever saw them actually ride. Mostly it was standing around moving the board back and forth with their foot while talking, then kicking it up to carry on to their next destination as the actual riders rolled off.
Current AI is a glorified predictive text keyboard.
Posers.
It's what we called kids in the 80's who would buy and carry around a high-end skateboard just to look cool but had no ability to ride it.
Dude, you can get Miralax on same-day Prime.... Even in New Zealand!
I don't know or hang around with many black people, but I do hear all of the stuff pointed out here on the regular any time I see a group of rednecks at the local farm supply.
Plus, internet meme culture has vastly changed the language landscape where, for example, phrases like "you don't think it be like it is, but it do" are used by people from all walks of life.
At least dogshit provides nutrients for plants, or something...
Israel is using the American police defense of "I was scared so I had to kill them".
It's probably because of that one time Nixon had Cosby over for a sleepover.
We'll... it wasn't planned as a sleepover....
That's not just your country. That's organized religion in every country.
100%. That shit needs to be displayed like nutritional info or cigarette health warnings.
Lots of high windows around...
I just moved into a new place and would like to take pictures of various areas and have ai adjust them based on input text.
For example, I'd like to upload a picture of my back yard and have ai paint the fence or add a shed or see if a new tree would look ok.
I've tried the GPT free image service, but it doesn't use the picture I provide, just creates an image based on my text prompt.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
That is currently happening. At least now there is help coming in the future.
He thinks he's going to hide in another country... With secret service detail that every ex-president has.
Star Trek: The Cruise is the ultimate immersive Star Trek experience, a 7-day voyage shared by a star-studded crew and passionate fans.
I'm fed on the 2025 cruise with my buddy, thanks to our scheming wives, and am curious if there is any advice or "pro-moves" we should know about.
Also, if you'd just like to share your experiences, that'd be cool, too.
My wife and I are moving from a condo to a house in a month and I'd like to set up a "proper" audio system on the property such that my wife can listen to one thing in her office, I can listen to something else in the garage, and my kids can listen to something in their rooms. The Sonos system is what I think I aspire to, but I haven't looked into things for a dozen+ years so don't really know what all is out there.
I currently have a bunch of Google pucks across the house, but would like better-quality audio than those provide.
Any alternatives to Sonos that have feature parity (or near-parity)?
I think a lot of people forget to check where they are before replying to things (me especially). Serious replies show up in shitposts and are then apologized for, joke comments are made in communities that are more serious, etc.
I was thinking it'd be nice to have the option to make me click through a confirmation of the community I'm in before crafting a data-driven response to something in an askmelolz group.
Bonus points for making it big and colorful :D
I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the "no other gods before me" thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.
If I'm paying for my goods and services with actual money, but using prop money for tips, is that bad? In my understanding, tips are given of one's own free will and would be considered a gift to the recipient, the same as if I gave flowers or cookies as a tip. I've also seen fake money passed off by religious people that looks fully real on one side, and has church propaganda on the other side.
This is a hypothetical question that came up when assembling a gag gift for my kid from my parent. I don't plan on doing it (though, there are some instances where it'd be VERY tempting...), but it does make me curious.
