I was reading a standard celebrity obituary article the other day. It was an actor nobody really remembers and it mentioned his family and the shows he was on.
In the comments someone said something like:
I don’t know why you had to mention his husband!!! Why does everything have to be so woke?
Sure, pal, if he had married a woman, everything would be ok, but since he had a husband, we need to pretend that he doesn’t exist around you so you don’t feel icky?
Right. I get you, and I agree, and I don’t think Buffalox was contradicting you by essentially saying “even if they technically aren’t the same, your government may still count it as the same.”
There’s two feet of snow out here, so I don’t know the answer, but I’m willing to try to figure it out.
Hi there, I’m a random passerby listening in on your argument!
You both make great points, and I’m not sure if there’s a misunderstanding here, because I don’t see why this is still going back and forth.
I agree with Free, that if an AI creates an image of CSAM, that there is no child being abused and that it is not anywhere near the same level of evil as actual photographs of CSAM. Different people will have different opinions on that, and that’s fine, it’s a topic that deserves debate.
Buffalox, is saying that your personal stance on the topic doesn’t really matter if the law has deemed it so. Which is also correct. When we talk about drugs, some people do not consider cannabis to be “a drug”, others consider caffeine and sugar to be drugs, but no matter where you stand, there IS a defined list of what you can get arrested for, and no matter how I try to spin the “secret medicinal advantages of meth” (that’s a joke, there are none.) it’s not going to keep me out of prison.
You’re both making valid arguments that don’t necessarily conflict with each other.
The success of a TV show can be gathered in real time. A movie needs to be complete before anyone knows about it.
So, they are going to make sure that movie is as sellable as it possibly can, because they only have one chance. The TV show can get tweaked as it goes, and sometimes milking a cash cow doesn’t result in quality. I think of Family Matters back in the 90s. It was a decent family sitcom, but EVERYBODY loved Urkel. So much so, that the last few seasons were essentially the Steve Urkel show. That’s who everybody wanted to see, but the show was complete trash. None of the storylines made sense anymore, and they had Urkel playing Urkel clones because MORE URKEL, MORE MONEY!
Or, of course, it loses popularity and then it gets canned.
I call bullshit.
If someone hung some out of focus water lilies and labeled it a newly discovered Monet, most people would believe it. The biggest of experts may find details that don’t quite match other Monets, but if those experts were involved in the forgery, they could easily make sure to check those boxes.
Saying they can’t be reproduced is just arrogance, or gatekeeping.
No disrespect to the artists. They deserve the respect for what they do, and creating their own style is half the challenge, but saying it’s impossible for anyone else to do the same after that, is a stretch.
It’s better to have it renewed than risk it turning expired. That will definitely mess up your driving report.
You may know him as “Tater Salad”
Good to know! My sister and I can never agree on what to listen to.
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!!
It’s certainly not dangerous, but, every community could use more traffic around here, so it doesn’t make any sense to spread it out any thinner.
Looks like you’re out of flags. Would you like to purchase 10 more for $2.99?
EDIT: My brain read Minesweeper. 😂 Oh well, I’m leaving it.
Listen bud, for every man-hater out there, there are about 5 others who voted for “Your body, MY choice.” There’s assholes everywhere. We just accept them as assholes and move on. And now we need to figure out if you’re offended because you ARE one of the pieces of shit they are calling out, or if you’re just too delicate to deal with people not liking a group that you just happened to be born into.
Not everyone has to like you, but keep it up if you want to add to the number who don’t.
Methinks thou doth protest too much.
I haven’t even seen one. 🤷🏻♂️
I don’t understand the issue.
Oh. OIL FREE OIL of Olay.
Yeah, it’s a brand, Dairy Queen doesn’t change it’s name when you buy a hot dog.
I’m not REAL into these, but every now and then I find one (usually much lighter than like) that clicks with me and I dump a few days into it before I get bored.
Dead cells was fun.
Children of Morta was pretty cool as you have a whole family to level up.
My son was playing Skul that looked fun.
It’s just unnatural!
Maybe this isn’t the place for you. I think Reddit might be more your style.
Doesn’t sound familiar, but maybe.
