Yeah, them all being the same is what makes me think person; when you look at those AI images with legible text, the text wiggles and is inconsistent when you compare something like one A to another A. But if you’re a person using linocut stamps or duplicating things in photoshop, letters will look the same.

There’s other little things too, like the knot in the wood that the paper dips into, that make me lean more towards ‘real but strange looking photo.’

I’m torn on whether this is AI. The AI detectors I put it in say no, and the letters being consistent (all T’s looking like all other T’s, etc) says real person to me rather than machine generated. The wood grain is also consistent beneath the lettering, and it and the chain link fence don’t meander or disappear in any weird ways that I see.

That said the building in the background looks weird to me, as does the lighting. And the combination of the wood grain plus the texture on the lettering does give it that weird quality that AI text tends to have, it immediately made me question it as well. I just can’t decide if it’s a weird artifact of real textures clashing or not.

Becoming a local meme on local internet had to be so much worse than it is today. No gen alpha child will understand the pain of getting dunked on by all 10 of the people that had a computer near you

Life’s hard when your husband has a smooth chest 😔

This has to be the pilot version of that nightmare where you’re back in high school and also naked. Maybe some teeth falling out too.

Edit: based on the FlightAware log it looks like they were maybe an hour and a half out when the pilot realized they fucked up. Better than right before landing, I guess?

I mean, I didn’t make it up, that’s the dictionary definition of Anglo for American English speakers. I don’t disagree with any of your points, it’s just news to me that “Anglo” is also used to mean “anyone who speaks English”.

You specified Anglo, which is a racial/ethnic group?? I have never heard anyone use Anglo to mean anything other than white people.

I live in southern California and have never noticed a racial aspect to this, most people thank the driver. Either when boarding or just calling out ‘thank you!’ as they leave through the back.

Do you work with younger kids? I have an in-law who teaches middle school and is generally pulling his hair out over lack of parental involvement. Kid-wranglers deserve all the thanks!

Welcome to lemmy! Here’s a post that lists a bunch of active communities, if you haven’t seen it already.

In addition to the communities listed there, I also like [email protected] and [email protected]

Are there any specific interests you’re trying to find communities for?

Sinkhole accidents are rare in South Korea, with fewer than 200 reported cases every year on average – significantly less than the number recorded in neighbouring Japan.

That’s rare? Japan has MORE?? 😱

My husband, without knowing of the existence of this community, said “that goes hard” when I showed him this picture. Certified hard.

Used to be you had to worry about the FCC crawling up your ass if you jammed signals.

And now you’ve moved your goalposts; first it was ‘convince me philosophy deserves government funding,’ now it’s ’philosophy isn’t a hard science and can’t show me on a graph why abortion is wrong’.

If you just don’t like the humanities receiving government funds, just say so instead of doing this song and dance about how it’s really about science and equality.

You’re pretty sure based on what? Even self-proclaimed pro-life philosophers admit their position is rare. Ethics itself easily argues in favor of abortion but not against it, which is one reason it’s available in virtually every secular state.

You are starting from your conclusion (philosophy isn’t worth funding) and working backwards to make that fit any new evidence presented to you.

Applied ethics is not ‘what feels like it would be the most correct thing to do?’, it’s writing professional codes of conduct, establishing criteria for who should be allowed to get an organ transplant, who should be considered for parole, what scientific experiments should be allowed to happen, if I listed everything affected by the study of ethics I’d be here all day.

I don’t want a random schmuck who’s never thought about any of this for more than 5 minutes writing any of that, and I sure as shit don’t want people voting on it. That’s how you end up with abortion bans.

Do you want anyone other than priests advising government officials on ethics? Then you want philosophy majors.

Same for Bic

What do you believe is being contributed to the discussion by being so negative about citizen political engagement? Don’t punish behavior you want to see more of. And if you think you can do better, get out there.

Regardless of the car you’re in, what would you do if you found yourself surrounded by people who want to hurt the vehicle you’re driving?

Love the exonerative tense here. He just ‘found himself’ surrounded by protestors out of the blue, not that his vehicle aimed directly at and drove through the crowd.
