Oh look! More proof that most politicians are either psychopaths or idiots being controlled by a rich psychopath. Who the fuck would think a story about killing a nippy puppy would appeal to the common people jfc. I've owned MANY dogs both growing up and as an adult, if you aren't ready to train a dog, especially a smart breed, don't bother getting a dog. Go get a cat or a fish or some shit that can't bite and kill someone.

I have no idea if that's a legit response BUT in the event that it is, that uniform in the pick is not the same as what they have for this next round. This is it, and it is way way way unacceptable. I used to have lingerie undies like this and I hated them, I called it the labia splitter.

I have played many games similar to this one, and I hate to admit this, but I think I'm too stupid for CK3. I just don't know enough about English royalty/gentry shit to keep up.

As someone that grew up in the 90s watching NASCAR Dale was also hella legit. He hated the Confederate flag and was quoted as saying, "racism is a moral commitment to ignorance." I miss when rednecks understood the fight and also hated cops. Now they suck and give the rest of us a bad name.

Well I have a fine arts degree with minors in Art History and Art Theory so idk how much more qualified you'd like someone to be to weigh in on this. But I see you're clearly very emotionally invested in this so you have a good day, try to see some sun today ✌🏽

No one using AI image generation tools is making art. At best they are commissioning images or "art" from a computer program, to think otherwise is honestly silly and ridiculous. They are doing the exact same thing that's been done for centuries. They are describing the type of imagery they would like created and then someone else is doing the work. For AI tools the "someone doing the work" is the programers of the AI tool which is spitting out the image. Trust me I've used these tools you could monkey slap the keyboard and still get a usable image, I've tried it. AI image generation is just a faster form of emailing, calling, or writing to an artist and asking for them to paint their town chaple, or their portrait, or whatever else they desire if they have the money to pay the artist or in this instance AI tool.

The challenge is deciding if image generation tools are creating art or not and the answer is no they aren't. Art generation takes human hands because, as you've said, art is many things but one you mentioned was it's to be thought provoking. To create something thought provoking there must be themes, purpose, etc. and right now AI is not capable of injecting themes or purpose into it's work. Maybe in the future AI can do that but until then it's just image generation and it's totally fine to like it but it's not art. There are even plenty of people who are artists who aren't in museums, wanna know why? It's because they are just generating images they aren't creating art. Their work is not thought provoking, it doesn't have a theme, or purpose etc.

It's insanely obvious with these discussions who actually has and has not either studied art themselves or even just been to an art museum where they actually absorbed any information. Invoking emotion is like the bare minimum, barely even scratching the surface, of what constitutes art. And if you haven't studied art or spoken with someone who has that's totally okay! No shame in that, lots of people haven't but maybe nows a great time to jump into art it's really enjoyable and there's lots of incredible museums to visit that will have lots of information to provide visitors with context to the works so you have a better understanding of why whats in the museum is art.

Im not trying to argue with you here, I'm just giving you information so you are better informed and don't sound like a douche nozzle in public anymore.

If anyone in your family starting at like your second cousin and closer have already done DNA testing then the cats outta the bag on worrying about your privacy.

These guys are just modern conquistadors. Them, their rhetoric, and their thirst for Christian domination is nothing new to literally anyone not white.

The one all the way on the right is what used to be stock corn, meaning we gave it to stock animals or ground it into flower. It's not for human consumption the way it's eaten now. Actual maize is quite colorful and was modified for easier human consumption. Ever wonder why corn shits out whole? It's because America gave you our stock corn instead human corn. Congratulations America, I you played yourself.

I remember hearing during the Olympics them actually talk about how much of a freak Bolt is to be so tall and so fast. Most runners are on the shorter side. For those that watch the NFL you'll know that being tall and fast is what makes people DK Metcalf such a freak of nature when sprinters are actually usually smaller, like Tyreek Hill. It's less about stride length and more about power put into the ground which is easier for shorter legs.

If you watch Bolt run you'll notice he doesn't actually hit his peak until way after the other runners during the 100m. He has said before iirc that he's actually a more natural 200m runner rather than a 100m runner. On the 100 he barely gets to his top speed before the finish. That's what makes his 100m records truly so phenomenal, he's not really built for that race but was still so much faster than everyone else on the track.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that a runner from Nepal being Asian and therefore statistically likely to be shorter than someone born in Africa, could be a record breaking runner. Of course this is all about sprinting but over longer distances the longer lankier bodies prevail, better momentum.

tldr: short legs go zoom, long legs go long.

What an awful take. Of course some people incorrectly breed dogs in ways that cause serious health problems but most Dachshunds dont fall into that category of mutant dogs I had 2 growing up, one lived 13 years and the other lived 17 years no issues with their backs because we didn't allow them to jump onto high things. Some dogs require special attention to help them live happy and healthily, so do most animals including people. It's not like they are pugs who noses are now so flat they can't breathe properly, these are just sausage dogs and they have always been long.
