V disappointed to see the new Pokemon game doubling down on the human supremacist narrative. My mind, those humans caused the problems that made them abandon you, why the fuck would you want them back? smh
Video Gaming Hot Take: It's okay to stop playing a game you aren't enjoying.
Even if the game is popular and everyone is stating it's the second coming of Christ, you can stop playing it and more importantly, you do NOT need to justify your decision.
I know for writers, the inability to express the idea in your head perfectly is a driving force behind practicing and improving your skills. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same for visual artists. So genAI is a great way to keep yourself from growing and leveling up because art is actually hard.π€·
Just makes me glad any time I see an article that at least interrogates the bullshit belief that production is the answer to oil prices. You can't produce your way out of trading on an open world market.
Chili lime mango... Peeps
These are very tasty and I'm kind of mad about it π
I am definitely not the target audience.
Idk when this "smashburger" thing turned into a restaurant trend, but the last things I want my burger to be are:
1) thin
2) crispy
3) falling apart

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

Jason Statham films are easier to sit down to than the others in the stylised violence genre because he gets the camp better than anyone. "Oh you fought a mob, Denzel, cool story bro now watch me punch out a megalodon"

Desert Symphony⦠Sometimes it is just about light⦠How it can transform a relatively flat scene into a rich canvas of textures & colors.
I see art from nature when when I look at such scenes.
Captured in Dubai desert last November.

Hey my fellow Coloradoans, please reach out to your state reps about this shit. Amazon doesn't need a fucking tax break from us, and we don't need more fucking data centers.

ok but how is the opposition party supposed to win over his supporters now, have they even thought about that
We're not doing it because we think it will work or we think it's morally correct, although both those things are true. We're doing it because we enjoy it and because it is funny.
we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

Kind of helps/doesn't help depending on how you look at it that the Republicans in Colorado are a pathetic shambles. I'd have sympathy for the old school rancho republicans who are watching their party tear itself apart, but they helped bring Boebert into office. So. You reap what you sow.
I fucking hate how things have come to this. I enthusiastically voted for the independent redistricting, and it's goddamn infuriating that the supreme court has enabled this stupid gerrymandering race to the bottom.
But as long as it is explicitly *temporary*, I'll probably vote for it.
Beginning January 1, 2031, an operator of a large-load data center (operator) must generate, purchase, or otherwise acquire a quantity of electricity generated from renewable resources necessary to meet 100% of the operator's large-load data center's total annual electricity consumption. An operator must also achieve the hourly matching requirement. An operator must comply with these requirements through a tariff, contract, or program entered into with a utility, one or more power purchase agreements entered into with an independent power producer, or a self-supply of electricity.
Gonna be keeping an eye on this one:
"Concerning measures to ensure accountability for large-load data centers."
