That's how history is taught in China and Japan. They get to a specific point, and just stop. I've had students who had no idea how their own government, or economy worked or any of the names of their leadership. World War 2 and on is just this misty land of vague propaganda.

Even the Taiwan and Hong Kong guys are fairly ignorant.

Same. The only ones I recognize are Rageaholic and Stuttering Craig.

They were just being a Seattle team. It's our motto to snatch defeat out of the jaws of an easy win.

American store egg nog and orange soda is really good.

If you want good Hawaiian grinds, go to 7/11. Every time I walk into an American mainland one I get disappointed.

When I lived there 10 years ago it was $5, and a part of what convinced me to move away. The price is now closer to $10. Yes, wages are low, and any tech or better paying jobs are discouraged.

That's just sad. Being smart is considered evil in our culture.

It is an annoying thing. If I do any nda work, I have to use something like SD or not at all for concept art.

I didn't see the second paragraph. I agree completely with you. I want to get more into running on my own rig, but that's a lot of money I don't have.

I think SD is useful because of how adaptable is. It's a perfect in between AI

I've been doing that as well. The Trump Assassination and Harris Election have been that way.

Too many people want numbers to go up for their paycheck. No one realizes their paycheck is now worth less.

Wait till you see the AI section. The propaganda section is big, but I haven't covered every little thing.

I'm hoping the adblock browser will still do its thing.

This isn't close to my browsing history. My recommendation is to treat it like a really big museum. You're not going to see it all, so just check out the sections you want.

When a company is really big and respected they often pretend to know what they're doing. Microsoft has been doing that with consoles the entire time, and no one has called their bluff.

IBM talked up OS2, and never saw little Microsoft leaving them in the dust.

One of the sadder things is the underground wells dug and kept for centuries and then turned to trash piles.

You don't need to convince everyone, just enough people who matter.

It's an interesting subject because a smart person could have several tiny homes interconnected but obviously separate and have a mansion that cost less than a house with less rooms.

Sadly it's only in deliciousness. He only got it so his mother wouldn't go 7up on him about what coke was doing.
