Is Midjourney available for use locally now? Or have you misunderstood Midjourney taking 30 seconds to generate from their server as happening locally?

It's probably just too broad to treat as one war, but I always return to reading the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. So many poetic, cinematic moments that for western civilisation defined our subsequent history. Where are we if Crassus doesn't desperately need a triumph but gets fed molten gold instead? If Marc Anthony and Cleopatra rule the Mediterranean from Alexandria? If a comet doesn't convince half of Rome that Caesar is a literal God?

Is it clothing or is it something she's... holding? Can she hide things she's just touching?

My friend, Zeus cheating on Hera has been a recognisable reference for 3000 years

You think the dividing line between us and animals is writing? There were pre-writing civilisations last century. You'd have fit right in with the morals of the time.

This journalist seems either to not know what "fairly noncommittal" means or is looking for the type of reaction you've given them.

Ekberg’s response has been fairly noncommittal. In a 1997 documentary, he is quoted saying “I told everyone I really regret what I did. I’ve closed that book. I don’t want to even talk about it, that time does not exist in me any more. I closed it and I threw the book away in 1987. I took the experience from it, I learned from it. But that life is not me. It’s somebody else.”

None of what the original commenter said is referenced or even alluded to in article. One member of the band was previously in a neonazi punk band before Ace of Base, and says he regrets it.

What a load of infantilising horseshit.

You are why people discriminate against us.

This is, of course, Ameri-centric horseshit. American voting is reported on as white, black, Latino and not-statisitcally-significant. Meanwhile they'll call other countries "ethnically homogenous" mostly because they don't know anything about any other countries or literally thousands of years of finding any reason to hate each other. Motherfucker I don't care if we're genetically identical I'll be dead and buried before I vote for a fucking Walloon/Protestant/Catholic/Silesian/Scouser/Galician/Lombard/Frisian (delete as appropriate). They haven't at any point all been thrown into a cage, deprived of their heritage and told "nah you're just black/mexican now". And it ignores that yes, global migration is global. Every colonial state has left people behind in its former colonies, and found themselves with former subjects as citizens too.
