Yeah the AI videos still really feel mostly like a parralax effect with a background and foreground image. Some of the cutting edge can do more, but I’ve gotten the feeling it’s a lot less consistent/stable.

It’s in the article, it was his friend Joel Greenberg who was charged with a number of crimes, including trafficking the girl tied to Gaetz.

DeSantis though, had pictures taken of him while drinking with high school girls he was teaching at the time (only added this cause I confused this one with Gaetz). I love snopes mentions the girls were probably 18 because it was right before graduation, as if no one was born in the summer / non seniors wouldn’t ever be at a graduation party.

I feel like one of those isn’t like the others

Seems I need to read up more on the specifics of MMT. It feels like you keep contradicting yourself between your posts, but maybe I’m just missing something?

You seem to know a lot about him to forget it wasn’t just about having sex with a minor, he was being investigated for sex trafficking a minor across state lines - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/matt-gaetz-s-ex-girlfriend-testifies-grand-jury-sex-trafficking-n1287352

Is that right? I thought the general notion is that demand outpacing supply causes inflation. Doesnt printing money inherently increase demand? That’s why the Fed raised interest rates to fight inflation in the US, it slows money down by making things more expensive (in simplistic terms).

Every senate/house seat the Democrata win makes it all the harder for Republicans to pass any significant legislation.

Just look at what happened with both Trump and Biden. Slim majorities in both house and senate led to a lot of legislation getting killed. Just recall how long it took the house to pick a speaker, while Republicans may have a majority it doesn’t mean they can weild it.

You should really read up on things like H1B visas then. They were for skilled workers and still got abused in a variety of ways including to suppress wages and get more or less indentured workers. I know places like GameStop loved them because the person would basically forfeit their visas if they quit so could abuse them more than a regular worker.

The more power an employer has over a worker and the less rights people who live in the country have, the worse it will be in general.

I’ve been saying this since it released. Cool mechanics, but boring world and gameplay. I’m still a bit salty about the loss of real dungeons, nothing in BOTW or TOTK feel as memorable as the previous games.

This has been a concern of mine for a long time. People act like docs and code bases are enough, but it’s obvious when looking up something niche that it isn’t. These models need a lot of input data, and we’re effectively killing the source(s) of new data.

Another thing I haven’t seen mentioned is its one of the last places open late anymore. I live close to a city, but if I need to grab something late (9:30+) fast food is about the only place open.

I’m not sure if the economy never recovered, I think it’s more recovery wasn’t equal. Delivery and take out (not to mention more forced to learn to cook) exploded during the pandemic and I know a lot of people just don’t see the same value in sit down locations anymore.

Could just be personal observations though and maybe not universal.

Yeah, I only bring it up because Harris’ primary goal is to win the election. It sucks, but Israel is only one element of this election and the public isn’t in agreement with it. Harris could even want to be more aggressive on it, but can’t sacrifice the election.

At the end of the day, there are two candidates. In a fptp system, you’ve got to vote for the better of the two candidates. Not voting for Harris is enabling Trump and will only lead to a worse situation in Israel.

Why do you think she’d gain more voters than loose by changing her stance on Israel? There are clearly people out there who support Israel otherwise it wouldn’t even be up for debate. I haven’t seen anything indicating she’d pick up more voters by changing her stance (which is still better than Trumps).

Yeah, but have we really returned to what 2016 was like? This is the issue with a lot of analysis like this, lots of internal bias in the underlying approach.

He could very well be right, but it’s just as likely we’re closer to 2020 than 2016. I know a lot of people that have gone to full mail-in-ballot (since covid) and I know others concerned the mail-is will be tampered with (given some have been set on fire). Not sure either of those things were in play back in 2016.

Yeah, basically summed up to “were too small an operation or lazy to manage our data, so a improved search/summary tool works for us”. This kind of approach isn’t going to work in a loooot of environments and there is a lot of value in consistent and reliable data.

Whether or not he was when he first immigrated, he’s rich now so doesn’t have to worry about any of that.

I thought it might be cause Healthcare is just getting worse in general, not sure if that would be any better.

That’s a shame to hear, I recently played this game and it’s one of the best Metroidvanias I’ve ever played.

The download feature is always in some state of broken, but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of years. If you haven’t tried it in a year or so, you may have better luck now.
