Ah, nice catch.

I thought this was a bolt tightening pattern and wondered why anyone cared where they started.

I swear this country is being run by immature, petty little children.
Flags have become a warning over the last decade or so about the person waving it. It no longer has the hope of a better America, solidarity, or welcome; it’s a symbol of a myopic, selfish, aggro, uneducated person full of performative nationalism and real hatreds.
Our independence was supposed to free the people of kings and tyrants. It’s been 249 years since 1776, we have undone what the Constitution authors fought for.
Feta and tzatziki or skordalia, squeeze a lemon on it. Now it’s Greek Poutine.
I’m sure the laws will focus on protecting IP - specifically that of AI companies or megacorps, the famous and powerful, but not the small creators of content or the rabble negatively affected by AI abuse.
The rest of us will have to suffer through presenting whatever damaging and humiliating video to a court. If you can even afford a lawyer to do so. Then be offered a judgement that probably won’t be paid or won’t cover the damage done by an image that will never be able to be erased from the internet. Those damages could include the suicide of young people bullied and humiliated by such deepfakes.
I love how ridiculously fake the representation of him is. Not fat, not wearing heel lifts, no ass out because of the lifts, no tie dangling over the precipice of a McDonalds belly, no ridiculous coiffeur of a combover.
Our Dear Leader.
He just wants his version of dystopia, not theirs.
Unexpectedly? I’m not sure. But for under $6 I got a secondhand Faberware medium and large pot. We have a glass cooktop and our current pots tend to “bow” on the bottom when heated so they don’t sit flat. Was fine when we had a gas cooktop, but now the bow makes a hotspot in the center on the flat glass. The old Faberware pots sit perfectly flat. Awesome.
Thing is I think W was naive enough to kinda believe in that stuff. The bunch in charge now don’t at all, but they want the idolatry and compulsory indoctrination by coercion.
I always find irony in the fact that the US helped set up better forms of government in the countries it fought in WW2, Japan and Germany, than it could make better in its own country.
