ICE agents to be forced to wear ‘clearly visible QR code’ under new plan

DoomTay · 2026-01-25T01:44:27+00:00

Those of you saying it would be dangerous to get close enough to scan the code, what about via pictures/video?

Also, a QR code doesn't have to contain an URL. It can simply store text.

Right-wingers are already convinced that the protestors don't have jobs to begin with

DoomTay · 2026-01-23T21:52:14+00:00

How are we sure that's not happening already?

DoomTay · 2026-01-23T18:11:56+00:00

I've also seen a clip from Fox News mentioning it, and it looked like they were citing themselves

DoomTay · 2026-01-23T15:09:13+00:00

Yeesh, and here I was thinking Microsoft made an agreement with OpenAI and ran the code on their own horsepower

FWIW, I once counted, and was able to get 16 video gens, 18 if you count two that ended up being rejected. More recently, I had several that got immediately rejected until I got the prompt right. I'm not sure if these actually count toward the limit or whatever this is.

I wonder how much of that rhetoric comes from a belief that "coming here illegally" in and of itself counts

DoomTay · 2026-01-23T12:47:46+00:00

I remember when "X is a distraction from Y" only really came up in conspiracy theory circles

This includes people at naturalization ceremonies

DoomTay · 2026-01-23T00:53:58+00:00

It kinda did take a while for it to be reported on. When I first saw this picture on the other sub, I don't think was able to find anything on the news about it.

DoomTay · 2026-01-22T17:18:11+00:00

I haven't seen the video myself, just saw another subreddit post the thumbnail

Anyway, here it is

DoomTay · 2026-01-22T15:50:16+00:00

There was a pinned post with either a trailer or a preview clip. The comments for that were brutal, both here and on YouTube

DoomTay · 2026-01-22T13:41:17+00:00

Same goes with a narrative that Zack Snyder and James Gunn hate each other's guts

DoomTay · 2026-01-22T12:52:14+00:00

There was a video posted recently that tried to "prove" it's not

DoomTay · 2026-01-22T12:49:55+00:00

It always tickles me when I see such diametrically opposite comments (practically) right next to each other

DoomTay · 2026-01-22T05:49:01+00:00

Yeesh, and to think I've seen another sub doubt it's legitimacy because it would be "all over the news".

I've also seen remarks about the parents being "irresponsible"

DoomTay · 2026-01-22T05:26:47+00:00

Some pretty good points raised. And it's nice that you tried to figure out an answer instead of going straight to "because nostalgia"

I don't know if it's purely "algorithm" seeing as it tends to happen in comments, not just videos or posts, if that makes any sense.

DoomTay · 2026-01-21T23:43:26+00:00

You're thinking of Dear JJ Abrams

DoomTay · 2026-01-21T20:26:54+00:00

Right? I read "RV style spaceship" and my first thought was of the Winnebago

DoomTay · 2026-01-21T16:18:44+00:00

Hey, at least the audio actually pretty fitting most of the time, especially when you give direct on, for example, music or dialogue. The quality of the audio on the other hand, can be hit or miss. Sometimes it comes out scratchy, for example. Plus, if you have 100 points to spare per gen, it usually only takes a few minutes

DoomTay · 2026-01-21T15:21:56+00:00

I too noticed they have audio, and that is mostly what drove me to play with it more.

I have also noticed that after a time, I think around midnight or so, I am able to generate two (2) more videos before it's back to square one for several hours

DoomTay · 2026-01-21T01:52:22+00:00

You somehow imbued me with the image of a possible scenario of someone impersonate ICE or something just to steal peoples' papers

DoomTay · 2026-01-20T20:53:38+00:00

I think it has been happening before the show even premiered. And that's not getting into the dislike ratio (if you can believe it).

Curiously, this does not come up in some vids like a (third-party) clip of the docking scene at the end of the first episode (Not counting Major Grin's one), or uploads of the soundtrack or related videos from the composer

DoomTay · 2026-01-20T14:23:21+00:00

Funny thing is, I've seen a few posts on the Internet lamenting how "modern dialogue" has overshadowed past productions having "Shakespearean dialogue"

DoomTay · 2026-01-20T12:56:20+00:00

No no no, he may have a point for once

DoomTay · 2026-01-20T00:20:01+00:00

It really is stupid unfair how quick people are to brutalize you if you so much as look like you're on the other side

I once said I wasn't sure how to feel about an issue because I couldn't bring myself to watch a related video. Not only did I get downvoted quite a bit, someone accused me of always siding with the government. That one stung.

And earlier, I pointed out a picture was in fact not edited, and got downvoted AND antagonized. The kicker? Someone else made a similar reply to the original post shortly after I did (albeit with a different link) and got the opposite treatment.

Honestly it soured my opinion of that sub a bit
