I love seeing comments like yours where people change some of their thinking as a result of online discussion.

I was starting to feel like no one listens to understand and only listen to respond, and comments like this help lift me out of that perspective.

I showed this meme to my wife and she showed me this in response. It’s the second result in a search for Trump Hair Shoes

I looked into it a little using TinEye and the image predates generative AI images of this quality. I actually think it’s a photoshopped normal cat; possibly as part of that weird trend of making some small detail of a normal photo look freakish.

I absolutely support this response. The US shouldn’t be allowed to swing its military might around to extort or absorb its neighbors. That said, it absolutely will and I hope it pays dearly for it.

I’m gonna be brutally honest here: unless it’s possible to reverse climate change impacts, the US was always going to invade and annex Canada. Even if we had a string of only progressive Presidents leading up to that point. The southern half of our country is about to become agriculturally useless and nearly uninhabitable. The only place for the US to go is north.

Full context to that panel:

It’s even better in it full context

I wonder if you’ve really never seen this panel in its original context, or if you’re just a troll. My money is on the latter.

A thought for why it may have been easier for you to regularly use your paper journal while not maintaining the digital journal: it may be a matter of visual cuing.

With the paper journal it sits somewhere that you’ll see it regularly, probably along your route to bed. Seeing the journal may have been your mental cue to write in it, as opposed to simple routine or habit. You don’t get the same kind of cue from a digital journal because even a set reminder is no different from the bevy of notifications your phone gives you throughout the day.

Something that could help you keep up with your digital journal is to start keeping a physical journal in the same place you kept your old one. Maybe put an NFC tag in it that just launches your digital journal when scanned/tapped. Then you’ll still have that visual cue and habit reaction force to keep you journaling.

This is the story I came to this thread for. Amazing! Thanks for posting!

A thought: any ai-image detector is a defacto trainer for ai-image generators. It necessarily becomes a kind of arms race in the same way that spam generators test their payloads against spam filters.

I see a lot of concern in this thread that future TVs would just peer-to-peer or cellular connect to do their dastardly functions. Wouldn’t this be preventable by putting a fine wire mesh around the box on the rear of the panel? Sure, the signal could still go out through the panel, but that’s bound to incur a lot of interference from the panel itself, right?

Memmy has a broken implementation of instance filtering that currently needs to be configured on every startup, but it exists. Hopefully it will eventually be meaningfully functional. Precisely for the instance you mentioned.

For some people last in line is the best spot. Think about it: everyone else is getting pressure to get done and get out. No pressure for the last guy, and fewer people watching.

I recently built a 3D printer where the entire community for it lives on Discord. Their website instructions are horrifically out of date because all of the current changes have been discussed at some point on Discord. What should have been a 2-4 day project turned into a 2-3 week project due to the garbage involved in trying to strain information out of a massive multi-channel group chat with terrible search.
