Have you tried just making more money?

Jeez, you poors are just so lazy.

(I really wish this weren’t needed, but I think it is) \s

Right… and no generation since has ever seen the value of owning property, right? Lol.

Are you under the impression that modern renters are choosing to rent instead of own?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck making saving for a down payment impossible for over half the country, and with rates being what they are, mortgages are expensive af.

People are renting because it’s the only way to live, not because they think it’s neat. People are getting upset at you not because you’re pointing out that rent is a scam, but because you’re implying it’s the fault of the victims

As always, people who just hate change in any form - combined with the depressingly common outlook that if you don’t personally like something, it must be objectively bad

Except smart phone cameras will also improve - if anything, I’d say that over the last decade, the average smart phone camera has improved at a much faster rate than your average computer monitor.

Combine what I said with all the other Metadata that will be collected, and I’m quite skeptical that you could fool an actual professional with your scheme.

Using our world as a template, it probably would be illegal to revive a convict, but itd be an open secret that a few well placed bribes and a bit of influence is all it’d take to bend the rules

It’s just the same attitude as people who claim it’s not really reading if you’re using an eReader. Some people get weirdly elitist about books and reading

With your current phone, go ahead and take two pictures - one normal, the other a picture of a picture of that thing

Now look at the two, and tell me you can’t tell in a split second that one is a picture of a picture. There’s a reason that it’s a running joke on the internet that people need to learn to take real screenshot instead of taking a picture of the monitor - there’s always annoying and obvious artifacts.

Yeah and while I’m sure it is useful for minimizing outrage at controversial changes, it’s mainly to prevent rolling out major bugs to too many people

boarding first isn’t a privilege really

It is on southwest, since there’s no unassigned boarding. I’m a tall dude, and I always pay for early boarding so I can get myself an emergency row seat

Yeah, popular music - by definition - is going to have a broad appeal, and pointing out major problems with our society is always going to be at least a bit divisive, especially when the issue is split in party lines

I’m not saying he’s a nobody, but it’s not exactly downvote worthy to not know him lol, I’ll bet there are plenty of people I’d consider well know that you’re not familiar with too 🤷🏼‍♂️

I doubt they even hope the judge will agree, they’re just doing it for the sake of his base. It’s been his prime defense the whole time - the fact that it’s bullshit doesn’t matter, because as far as his base is concerned, if Trump said it, it’s true

Dissappear? No, of course not

Fall out of repair, and be unable to be repaired effectively without tools, resources, or knowledge that are no longer accessible?

Abso-fucking-lutely

Take a deep sea oil rig. How long do you think it’ll be operational without maintenance with all that sea water? After not too long you won’t be able to repair the damage without serious industrial capabilities, and that’s assuming you even know how to fix it.

Really even as relatively little as a few decades of total chaos and disorganization would be enough to make crawling back really hard. A century and more and it really could be impossible, or at least improbable - especially given that the humanity that comes out of the other end of the crisis is the same one that got us into it. So the remaining pieces of major valuable infrastructure left will probably get wrecked as the survivors fight over them

I’m kind of the same, I rarely wear deodorant, and it’s basically never an issue (believe me, my wife would tell me if it was)

But some days even I’m like “holy fuck I reek” - I think it’s probably a diet thing

Internet comments aren’t interested in logic if they can dunk on a group they don’t like lol

Sounds like fusion power lol

Why is this downvoted lol

Is it bad to not know every artist now?

True, but Its 100% possible for us to get knocked back into the iron age, and if that happens, there’s a very real chance we won’t be able to climb up again.

Easy to access sources of a lot of the resources needed to rebuild a modern civilization are gone, the only reason we can get to the remaining deposits is because we already have the advanced equipment to extract it. It’s entirely possible that if we get knocked back down the tech ladder, we may never climb back up again

This is 100% it, there’s already so much “bad” footage out there that no one is going to change their mind about jan 6 if more comes to light. But they’re hoping to find a few clips that make it look good that they can play on a loop on fox News

The way it sounds right now is “AI generated faces don’t have all these artifacts 99% of the time” (I’m paraphrasing A LOT, but you get what I mean.)

The only way it sounds like that is if you don’t read the article at all and draw all your conclusions from just reading the title.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure many do just that, but that’s not the fault of the study. They clearly state their method for selecting (or “cherry picking”) images
