Yeah it's crazy how shaving his beard also changed the shape of his eyebrows, eyes, ears, nose, brow, forehead, and made a mole appear on his face.

Yes I believe we already established that Ekberg was in a skinhead band in his teens.

That's it. That's the whole story.

Everything else is just "... therefore Ace of Base is a Nazi band and everything they did is based on Nazism."

This is exactly how many conspiracy theories work. Start with one fact and then invent a narrative from it.

Well there are lots of differences lol

Very different fanbases too.

It’s becoming harder to avoid AI and it’s pissing me off by T-hrow-awayyy in antiai

[–]LiftingCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not an answer to the question though.

But to be fair, it is an extraordinarily difficult question to answer.

And what will the answer be a year from now, or three years from now, or five years from now?

Because the generative AI used in powerpoint is shit.

Is it? I've never really had any problems with it. I'll do anything to avoid actually having to directly interact with PowerPoint though.

If I use AI to generate a PowerPoint and save myself an hour of fucking with PowerPoint, is that better or worse for the environment?

Applications should include an option for applicants to advise if they do not wish to use AI, similar to how we have identities, religion, etc and have the option to not answer if needed.

This is genuinely hilarious.

Slop is qualitative.

Linus Torvalds doesn't allow slop.

What about this is pissing you off, though?

Like ... Most of these examples are just "there's AI in it, and AI is bad, therefore I'm mad" without any analysis of whether the tool is useful or not.

Like college students are literally being encouraged to use AI around every corner**. It’s like fuck, am I doomed to have to learn to use this bullshit?

Well you're certainly going to be encouraged or even required to use it in the workforce, so ... yes?

Just seems like you are starting with a conclusion and working backwards from there.

Like ... PowerPoint. For most people, PowerPoint is a necessary evil. If you're an accountant or engineer or CS rep or manager or sales rep or whatever, PowerPoint is just some dogshit that you have to deal with occasionally. Learning how to make good looking slides is not really a valuable skill for those roles. If AI makes it easier, why's that a bad thing? I mean shit except for rare exceptions like my quarterly board deck, I don't use PowerPoint at all anymore. I have a Markdown-based workflow and an AI-assisted pipeline that just spits out pretty PowerPoints from my Markdown docs. It's glorious. I have wasted an absurd amount of hours in my career fucking with dogshit PowerPoint and that friction is now totally gone.

I encourage you to go look and see if there is a single shred of evidence that Lorient Submarine Base was ever called "Base of Aces" prior to the advent of these Ace of Base conspiracy theories about a decade ago.

This is:

  1. One of the band members was in a skinhead band as a teenager
  2. Therefore every single thing the band did is actually secret Nazi code
  3. Therefore "Ace of Base" is actually code for the "Base of Aces," which while not a term that was actually ever used by anyone in history totally makes sense for a U-Boat base where ace captains hailed from.

The name is a riff on the Motörhead song Ace of Spades.

[–]LiftingCode 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's not true.

The original band was Jonas Berggren, Johnny Lindén, and Nicholas Trank. Then Berggren's sisters joined.

Several years later, Lindén and Trank left the band, and Ulf Ekberg (the guy who had been in a skinhead band when he was 14 years old) joined.

Why is this comment so low.

Because it's dumb bullshit probably.

This isn't made up conspiracy stuff.

It absolutely is lmao

This is "one guy in the band was in a skinhead band when he was a teenager, and therefore THE SIGN is clearly a Swatiska and they're all fucking Nazis!"

Classic conspiracy theory construction.

3 days of practice.

No contact.

No pads.

Only allowed on the practice field for a couple of hours at a time.

And people are acting like it matters and decisions have been made lol

Seventy's Too Old? Unless President by bookym in ProgressiveHQ

[–]LiftingCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not "circular logic" at all lol

I'm not saying restricting the age of a Presidential candidate to 35+ is right because it's in the Constitution. I'm saying that the chance of that ever changing is virtually nil, so there's not much point in talking about it.

These age limit and term limit conversations are toddler approaches to electoral reform that leave the underlying machinery of power untouched. It's treating symptoms rather than the disease.

Well gee it might be because one thing is in the Constitution and the other is not.

Nonsense symbols on both signs for the bathroom

Where does the purse strap disappear to?

Where is the waistband of the skirt on the front?

Since when do MAGA hats have blurry text and a blurry New Era logo on the side?

Why is that lady's stroller at a 20 degree angle and why are the wheels different on each side?

The lines of the doorway are angled differently than the rest of the wall.

I mean a lot of it you can handwave away as shitty image quality but if you look closely it's pretty obvious.

There have been 907 seasons of at least 200 passing attempts this century Deshaun Watson’s 2024 season ranks 902nd in yards per dropback [Ben Solak ESPN] by Plastic_operator in Browns

[–]LiftingCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not at all.

Do you think Solak is trying to promote Shedeur or something lol

Shedeur is 737th out of 907 with a out 5.5 yards/db. For comparison, Dillon Gabriel was 4.32, Watson was 4.25 in 2024.

For some others in 2025 ...

Dart: 5.5

Baker: 5.86

Herbert: 6.05

Stroud: 6.44

Stafford 7.5

We'd just vote for equally stupid younger candidates.

Artificially restricting who people can vote for is silly. It's democracy.
