I am sickened and ashamed that my country has lowered itself to inflict KFC upon the innocent muslims of Ontario.

Some people need killing!” His list of those needing killing seemingly included “people with evil intent,” “wicked people,” socialists, Communists, and leftists who persecute conservatives online.

It feels lazy that they’re not even pretending that their enemies are doing anything worse than being mean to them on the internet in response to their hog-brained opinions. Not even bothering with the pretence of antifa pedo cabals anymore.

Had an idea for an isekai: average person is sucked back in time to medieval Europe. They have no useful skills but they have a smartphone that inexplicably never runs out of juice and can access the internet of 2024. Antics ensue as they google and bullshit their way first to survival, and eventually to high society.

Google DeepMind research scientist Nicholas Carlini, claimed that Glaze's protections could be "easily bypassed, leaving artists vulnerable to style mimicry."

So obviously Bryce Dallas Howard directs the movie about this. Who stars? Whose the modern Tom Hanks, Bill Hader?

For the most part they know and don’t care, as long as they can’t enjoy it on a purely aesthetic level. For instance starship troopers. They know it’s a satire, but just say “this but unironically”. But there’s a tipping point. If nazis are being depicted as pants-shitting losers there’s nothing for them to admire on an aesthetic level.

That perfect arc. Like a lactose bullwhip.
