I managed to find one of the specific pictures! The guy who shared it explicitly said that NO ONE can tell this is AI, and that anyone who says they can identify it as AI is lying (what's funny is that seeing it again now, I'm noticing multiple obvious tells that I missed the first time, hah):

I've seen terms like "prompt artists" and "prompt experts" being thrown around.

I've also had people share AI slop with me and say that NO ONE could see the difference between that and a human-made digital drawing. Then when I've listed 10+ reasons why it was super obvious from a glance that it was AI, they're like "you only think that because I told you it was AI in the first place! If I hadn't said anything you wouldn't even know!"

They're delusional.

Yeah, and the MAGA scum and centrists are *still* claiming that Iran did not follow the deal, citing cherry picked statements taken out of context or just "Trump said so".

Not even just signed; this war is the SECOND time Trump attacks them while in the middle of negotiations for a deal.

... and in the second video you get actual context and audio for that part, where he tells the guy to stay the fuck down (which is entirely understandable in a high-stress situation where the guy has just repeatedly tried to escalate and keep Ritchson from leaving) and he keeps getting up anyways.

And no, those videos aren't fucking similar in any way... that claim is so ridiculous, it's actually disgusting and offensive that you would even think to make the comparison.

Fuck off.

Sure there are some legal distinctions, and I didn't say they are *actually* the same thing... but the're close enough that the difference barely matters. It's pretty much a form of slavery with extra steps (like being tied to land instead of sold individually).

Also, both terms have dozens of different meanings depending on which culture and time you're looking at, with a good amount of overlap between the "mildest" form of slavery and harshest serfdom (probably 1700-1800s Russian serfdom).

He was below the speed limit when the guy moved in front of his bike and he had no idea if the guy would stop there or keep moving if he turned.

Ritchson repeatedly tries to end the interaction and leave, while the guy repeatedly blocks him and tries to escalate things even further.

He also repeatedly tells the guy to stay down when he takes him down on the grass, but the guy just ignores him and try to start shit again. He's not beating him *on the ground*, but as he keeps trying to re-engage

That's why I brought up serfdom, which technically wasn't slavery but still EXTREMELY similar; and one of the main reasons slavery declined in other cultures is that serfdom was more efficient.

Also worth keeping in mind that those numbers can differ a lot depending on source/estimate, exact region, and exact time. You can easily find sources talking about how 10% was common for Scandinavian cultures as well, with the 25% in Norway seen as an outlier.

Was it? Serfdom was essentially slavery, and extremely common across all of Europe at that time (and all the way up to the 1600-1700s).

From what I can find, 10-25% of the Scandinavian population in the Viking era were slaves (depending on location), and plenty other cultures existed with more/less at the time.

For reference; 18% of the US population were slaves in 1790, with some southern states having over 50%. Ancient Greece and Rome had like 20-40% depending on era and specific location.

Sorry did you mean to post this elsewhere, or could you perhaps explain a bit about how a map of roughly half of Europe overlaid on Australia is relevant here?

Reminder that Project 2025 contains what essentially amounts to a blueprint for the genocide of transgender people and related groups/supporters by labelling them all as "child predators" and using that as an excuse for executions.

Altright "token gay guy" Milo came out as "ex-gay" in 2021 and said he was going to become the public face of gay conversion therapy (and started fundraising for building a conversion centre).

Don't think he's really done much since tho, other than working for MTG, Nick Fuentes, and Kanye while ranting about how he's going to get revenge on Trump for abandoning "the people who love him the most" (guess he's still sore he was kicked out for publically coming out as pro-pedophilia too early).

They'll almost certainly claim that every other study is fake yeah, maybe even lean into the conspiracy nonsense about children being forcibly transitioned or celebrities being "secretly trans".

OP made the claim, so OP should provide actual, trustworthy sources.

The topic or how easy it is to search doesn't matter; that's just how the burden of proof works, every single time.

Also, no one should ever be downvoted for just asking for sources or questioning unsourced claims... but imgur tends to do that a lot anyways.

"Vader, could you come into my office for a moment? It's about this list you handed to Tarkin over places to destroy first with the Death Star... Klatooine, Jedha, Tatooine, Cantonica, Jakku..."

"They are all hotbeds of Rebel activity and insubordination. They need to be destroyed!"

"For the last time, Vader, getting sand in your boots does NOT count as insubordination! Stop telling the fleet to wipe out desert planets, or I will drill holes in your suit and leave you on one for a decade!"

Trump currently claims that Iran has agreed not to develop nukes, that Iran has indicated they want peace, and that Iran were the ones who reached out first.

Iran says they have had zero negotiations or direct contact with the US, but that other nations had conveyed indirect messages from the Trump regime that indicated the US wants an end to the war.

It's all just bullshit, yeah.

Tempered safety glass is typically used for bus stops and other such things. They shatter into small blocks instead of sharp pieces, so risk of anyone hurting themselves should be very low.

Oh, easy for me; The Mummy, The Mummy Returns. I also just love adventure movies, so there's that. For a more modern one, I also *really* liked Rental Family.

Plus for non-movie roles, his role as Ben in Scrubs is absolutely iconic (despite only appearing in three episodes total).

Thinking about it I actually genuinely don't think I've seen a performance from him that I didn't enjoy on some level, and only one movie with Fraser that I actually disliked in general (the third Mummy movie).

#5 Dominion had plenty of color, if you pick literally any daytime scene. Just like Jurassic Park had night scenes with less color and light.

Hand movements are wrong, the flag visible for like 0.1 seconds at the very start seems to be wrong (American flag with a blue line with gibberish text at the top?), and the agent's hair knot morphs when she turns her head.

Also love the first Villeneuve Dune movie for this; the Atreides men show such clear joy at seeing each other, speak openly and affectionally, and actually show affection with hugs and other physical touch.

Ofc then everything goes to hell for everyone, but...

Prison slavery is not just "pretty much" slavery, but *literal* slavery and acknowledged as that by the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Sure, but I've seen/experienced enough people just not doing that to not assume it to be the case. Also worth keeping in mind that RAG doesn't eliminate hallucinations entirely, just reduces them somewhat (while also having other issues and limitations).

You fed all your documentation into something that has been proven to add random shit and hallucinate? I sure hope you're just using it to find the right document and then check the original document, rather than trust anything the AI spits out.

Also, define "old Google"? Cuz 10 years ago it was *definitely* better than current LLMs if you knew how to use it, but it has also become increasingly worse as they first prioritized aggressive advertisement, and recently ruined it entirely to push AI.

Literally two days before he started begging for help, he also said that he didn't need any help from countries coming in at that point since he had already won.
