Things you can do when you have fuck-you money to burn: buy a billboard.
I thought about buying / renting a billboard in a small town in Texas where a shitty family mistreated my partner’s nephew when he did a cultural-exchange program (her family is Thai). It would be essentially this but about that family. I didn’t go through with it because they got kicked out of the program via other avenues.
I did buy a discounted ad on a podcast to rail about how much I hate ads. That was fun. I think I paid like $175 or something. I don’t have fuck-you money, but I do have low level fuck-around money.
I think I figured out one reason Trump is going after Greenland. It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.
There is one and only one reason Trump/US wants Greenland. With US out of NATO, it is a point closer to Europe to threaten Europe. Every other explanation is a disgusting lie, and of zero value to US.
I always understood it as trump wanting the natural resources that Greenland has, along with it being positioned in a future ultra strategic location for arctic trade. like if the polar ice caps melt in the summer then countries close to the north pole will be able to send more ships easily, making any land around chokepoints in this trade more valuable - like Greenland
not saying I like any of this stuff, but this is what I’ve heard
Every piece of land can be useful. US’s current friendship with/lordship over NATO would get any project it wants done, and allow any shipments/trade routes to/from America. Project value is overblown due to high development costs and distance to markets.
The reason you will hear economics and defense from enemies motives, is that is the sweetest sounding lie. It would increase the purchase price if Denmark citizens knew that Denmark government and its king are selling to US to improve its capabilities to murder all Danes.
I’m out of the loop and also not American. Can somebody elaborate please?
Elon Musk is the resident Nazi at the heart of the US government and is widely believed to have bought his influence with Trump. Oh and also Trump is President again after being a convicted criminal. No this isn’t a joke.
What makes Elon a Nazi? Does he promote genocide or racism? I’ve only seen one picture of him doing the pose but have no context. Also lol on Trump. I would’ve assumed people with such a track record wouldn’t even qualify to work as teachers or any other job, let alone run and get elected as president lmao.
Elon Musk supports the AfD in Germany and he did a Nazi salute at the American flag during Trump’s inauguration. Additionally he’s a billionaire who supports authoritarianism and the far-right, putting him in the upper right-hand corner of the political spectrum
AI slop.
Baseless AI hate. Get a new hobby
Can’t afford a hobby.
There’s better things you can spend your time hating than a fancy autocomplete holding a paintbrush
To the extent that the billboard never existed while the image implies it did – sure.
I love the term ‘slop’. It’s one of my favorite new words along with ‘nontent’.
But this, to me, isn’t that. I think of slop as ‘unrequested, unconvincing, lazy, and lifeless’. In short, ineffective and unwelcome.
I feel like this meme gets the message across. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. The AI tells are subtle enough: the multi lane pileup in the background and some poor small size text rendering.
Not sure why I felt the need to write this. Guess I’m of the opinion that just because something is AI-generated doesn’t mean it should be discounted immediately, unless it really feels like zero effort went into it. Have a nice day!
Yeah, I feel like there isn’t much of a difference between taking an existing picture and editing the text into it or using AI to generate a picture and editing the text into it.
Because I think the text looks way too good to be done by AI.
that was close, almost upvoted.
I mean the message is good, but the medium is, well slop.
