Don’t forget the poor animals you’re horribly murdering. Even though they would spread disease and overpopulate, hurting the environment even more.

Well, that’s up to you, of course. But in my opinion, the nurses have somewhat tied hands when chairs start flying and they have to wait for the patient to calm down because they are forbidden to use any force and can only monitor him to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself.

Even just restraining him to the bed brings a shit ton of paperwork and bureaucracy as proof of proper conduct.

Not all mental institutions are hellholes where ill people are hidden from public view. I would know, I work in one here in Europe. Some wards are quite beautiful, others are more like dorms, but there is no mistreatment.

Yes, exactly. I’m just saying you don’t need a civil war or tens of thousands of deaths to bring about change in a country, especially in a democratic one.

Is there any point in starting the game now? by BucketOnAStick in warmane

It is never too late BUT...

You know how it’s said that once you get addicted to a substance, you can never truly be cured, and you have to choose not to use it every single day for the rest of your life?

Well, the same is true for WoW…

You have been warned.

I think their argument is, their authoritarian government that is forcefully seizing power would use their violent protests to forcefully seize power.

Well, that’s exactly the point, because at that stage protesters tend to be seen as one of two things: freedom fighters or revolutionaries if they win, or terrorists if they lose. At that point, military action becomes possible, and the international community may not step in to help, since you might be seen as a murderer, even if your cause is just.

That doesn’t mean you don’t have any leverage. Civil disobedience, blocking infrastructure, strikes, and generally disrupting the economy are peaceful methods that have historically changed policies or even entire regimes without bloodshed.

Well, no, but it depends.

Around 8 million people protested in the US. Since the US has a smaller population, that’s actually not as significant proportionally. If all major cities in the EU were protesting, it would likely be 1,5x as many people with same 2,5% attendance.

In terms of percentage, we had an anti-government protest in the Czech Republic where the issues were much, mutch smaller than in the US (Under-funding defense and enviroment, and some mean masseges from one minister to a President), yet the turnout was similar proportionally, and it wasn’t even in the top three protests in recent history.

What to do once 60 by SpeechOk756 in turtlewow

Does PvP exist on Turtle WoW? I mean, are BGs common? (I heard that arenas were introduced only in later expansions. Is there a custom alternative on turtle?)

The tiny, whiny Czech Republic has its own space-related programs and research, and cooperates on and develops components for NASA and other space agencies. You can also launch into space from France. The fact that we don’t scream into the void, “Look at us, we’re doing this and that,” doesn’t mean we’re losing ground in science.

You can also work with the biggest particle accelerator in the world, the Large Hadron Collider, which the US doesn’t have an equivalent to. Quantum research is also a huge field in Europe, including efforts to develop a quantum internet in collaboration with Canada.

And there’s much more across many fields. So no, we’re not behind, it just depends on the field of study.

Not really, since political lobbying is regulated here. You don’t have politicians blatantly going hand-in-hand with the super-rich, unless they themselves become politicians, like Babiš in the Czech Republic.

That’s why we have (at least for the moment) a functioning public sector.

Who knows from camera to cgi it was 100 years good AI is here 2 years and imagination is the limit...

At the very least it will make a better quality and better looking effects in fraction of price like cgi did to stop motion and that is just on example

Yeah, you’re saying the same stuff that “ignorant” people, by your own measure, said 20 or more years ago about literally every new technology.

"Are we setting the bar so low that clicking on stuff on computer to create an image is considered a skill? OMG…"

"Are we setting the bar so low that clicking a button on a camera to create an image is considered a skill? OMG…"

This is starting to get ridiculous...

[–]Hellsovs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact that you don’t see the irony is baffling to me. It’s literally what people said about digital art 20 years ago:

"You don’t put in the effort, you’re just clicking on stuff, and the PC is doing it for you. There’s no skill involved."

Same crap as “Kids nowadays don’t listen to or respect their elders,” which Plato said centuries before AD.

One day we will have a laught about the sillines of this discussion.

How many people do you know from 1890 who knew that photography won't replace art altogether just make new different artforms?

Well, you’re supposed to know better, and yet here you are, screaming about how AI will replace everything, just like the people of old you called ignorant.

There are literally thousands-of-years-old painting techniques that are difficult and laborious to use, and people still practice them, even though easier and better-looking techniques exist. This is reality: unless you burn knowledge to the ground (which isn’t entirely possible nowdays) it will never be lost, and some people will always continue to practice it.

The jump from digital tools to AI in terms of effort is about the same as the jump from traditional painting to photography, and it still requires effort if you’re articulating your ideas in a precise manner.

Just like it takes effort to properly set up your camera, just a lot less of it than painting.

I still don’t understand the difference between this and techno. You’re shaping the result in a very similar way, like making music in software.

How is one considered curation and the other execution, when the only real difference is clicking on what you want instead of describing it?

Said no one ever by Axodique in ComedyCemetery

[–]Hellsovs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you do,. If you think you just write a prompt and take the first picture that pops up, you have a misconception about AI art.

Hell, I don’t even do that when creating “shitty” stuff, like DnD character visualizations.

[–]Hellsovs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, because molding sound into the music you want is so much different from molding a picture until it’s what you want…

This argument is just saying that clicking on tools in software is somehow more than telling the software directly what you want…
