those the use ai for it, yes actually. in fact, if we’re following the letter of copyright law, almost every meme is technically illegal.

the heck was when they got the username and password. this is just the extended consequences because people use the same password for everything.

just by the by, the Japanese name for it SHOULD just translate to “naked festival” the “man” is an English inclusion.

eh, there’s pretty of reasons to hate TikTok.

oh man, is it just me or were pretty much all of the examples in that list absolutely awful looking. not saying the styles they mentioned aren’t fine or good, just their choices for pictures. i hated almost every single one of them, and I’m normally one who likes bolder styles on men… also, the single nod to the existence of black hair halfway through 😅.

hell, I’m across the country at my parent’s place and got them a movie by remoting into my home pc to start a torrent and had it populatred in my Plex server and streaming at full bluray quality 4k hdr in less time that it took for them to get popcorn ready.

they never even knew that i had to do any of that. i just told them “yeah, I’ll get that set up while you get snacks”

Hogwarts legacy was cracked in under a week…

it’s true that empress is unreliable and basically the only source of cracks, but when she does do it, it doesn’t take long.

thedirtyknapkin , 5 months ago to memes in Obviously, supporting a New York real estate billionaire is anti-establishment for some reason

hmm, that feels a bit like splitting hairs. at that point we have to argue whether the establishment is capitalism, or the government. and that just seems like a pedantic argument about semantics that will accomplish nothing. point being, most fascists want to overthrow their current government.

thedirtyknapkin , 5 months ago to memes in Obviously, supporting a New York real estate billionaire is anti-establishment for some reason

that’s still only a very small handful of places, though i agree. it’s spreading.

thedirtyknapkin , 5 months ago to memes in Obviously, supporting a New York real estate billionaire is anti-establishment for some reason

I’m pretty sure that’s the difference between anti establishing and anti government. the “establishment” is the established power structure. technically fascists ARE anti establishment in most places. and that’s a very good thing.

damn, i have 3 friends with fake profiles that have been impersonating then for over a year each now. one is 3 years old. none have been taken down.

en, your mileage may vary on portrait mode. fur is what is struggles the most with. personally I’d go for getting close and letting the natural depth of field shine through for what it’s worth. most phones are at like an f:/2.8. they can have natural bokeh, they’re just ultra wide angle so you gotta get close.

it may just be me, but those wonky edges make it look worse than if it just didn’t have the effect at all.

that’s significantly less bad of a problem than the current issue of no one being able to afford homes. that nurse might just have to go for the apartment… that’s really not that big of a deal.

if any of those names survive long enough to be relevant for all that. the lag on corporate adaptation of new tech is getting faster, but it’s still going to be a number a years i think until we start to see any real saturation of this tech in that space. i doubt Miyazaki can wait that long…
