This. As much as Trump keeps going on about “regime change” in Iran as necessary, I don’t know why Iran doesn’t just pull an Uno Reverse card and declare that they won’t make a deal until there is regime change in the US. The current US regime has demonstrated that they will not honor any agreements, so why bother making one?

Note that US is a different country

Is it, though?

They couldn’t even pass a measure to pause hostilities against Iran, there’s no way they will have the 2/3 senate vote needed to remove him from office. I doubt it even has the 50% house vote to advance the impeachment process to that stage.

The majority of American politicians in office approve of Trump and what he’s doing. Maybe after some seats shuffle in the midterms, which is already overly optimistic, there might be margins just slim enough to convince a handful of senators to cross the aisle and vote Trump out of office. But even then, I wouldn’t hold out much hope of that happening. MAGA voters remain committed to the cult, and Republican incumbents want to keep those votes to stay in office.

Yeah, season 2 not expected until late 2027 at the earliest.

IMO, I’m okay with letting Vince Gilligan cook to make sure it’s done right. But it does sting a bit when you can’t wait to see what comes next after season 1.

It’s an excellent series, I look forward to what comes next but hate to remember that season 2 is still a ways off.

I feel like the whole thing is going to be a good binge watch when it’s eventually all out there.

Just the light contrast. Stars are not as bright as the light from the sun reflecting off the Earth and the Moon. If they adjusted the exposure enough to see the stars, the Earth and Moon would look blindingly bright in comparison.

It truly needs to be very dark for stars to be easily visible, to the extent that the mere lights from a nearby city shining through the atmosphere are enough to render them invisible on a clear night.

I am also curious to know, as I’ve also run into this recently.

My knowledge of Buzz Aldrin involves him punching a moon landing denier in the face for saying he faked the whole thing, so I feel like this must be some sort of new denier disinfo campaign.

It’s a bit melodramatic at times and most characters don’t look their age, but the live action series The Last Kingdom explores similar topics with a fair bit of attention to accuracy.

Basically. How to be the worst contractor and still get paid for it.

I forgot what the game was called until I looked it up again just now, and so this had me thinking that Low-Budget Repairs had finally released

Oh, for sure. Their souls are so black that Anish Kapoor has exclusive rights.

Okay, that got a gut laugh out of me, I’ll have to use this one later on.

In a general sense, absolutely, but there are still a good number of pro-AI communities around here that typically keep to their own bubbles. Anyone browsing by All will inevitably see them come up here and there.

I also see AI-gen content make it to the top of larger, more general communities like Lemmy Shitpost every now and then. Usually when it’s harder to tell that it was generated by AI. When it gets called out, you’ll typically see more upvotes than downvotes, but there will inevitably be some AI sympathist or two in the replies who won’t hesitate to go off about how it’s not a big deal/it’s just a meme/there’s nothing inherently wrong with AI/etc.

The Trump admin doesn’t actually care where someone is from, they just get sent to a hole somewhere in El Salvador or South Sudan.

To my knowledge, Gearbox has never managed to fully shake the allegations that they took Sega’s money for Alien: Colonial Marines and diverted most of it to Borderlands 2.

They also outsourced most of the development to another studio, and covered up that fact before release. After release, they happily pointed the blame away from themselves and onto the other studio, which promptly closed. The whole thing was basically set up to fail.

When is it a bad thing to encourage best practices on the Internet to verify sources and recognize signs of LLM slop? They took the time to explain why it’s better to get a direct source and avoid middlemen. That’s not “defensive”.

Your argument is that they simply could have searched for additional sources, but I think you’ve proven the point that simply searching without verifying is likely to yield garbage.

There’s no disparaging OP here unless they are the author of the article. But I believe that the article is being properly criticized for the things it does wrong.
