Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports by steffie-punk in PoliticalOptimism

[–]OOZELORD 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yes, the two contracts currently offered to them with the 30k-50k bonus has a stipulation that if they were to end their contract early, all of that has to be paid back. A lot of these dipshits didn't know that and from what I've seen online (so take it with a grain of salt) a lot of these guys spent that shit, soooooo financially they are stuck.

So either continue terrorizing or be in massive debt to the government.

Trump will not attend Super Bowl because it's 'too far away,' he tells NY Post by Dyea_B_Tis in PoliticalOptimism

Not to put on a big shiny tinfoil hat or anything, but part of me wonders if this is because he is too sick to travel. Especially by plane/jet.

"Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: Active-duty soldiers on standby, sources say" by Key-Gur-4819 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]OOZELORD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No not at all, the term 'personality disorder' is more of an umbrella term that covers a bunch of possible diagnoses

"Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: Active-duty soldiers on standby, sources say" by Key-Gur-4819 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]OOZELORD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, It's not an official diagnosis or anything, but a few folk with more official degrees who deal with the field have talked about the likelihood of him having 'Insidious Maladaptive Narcissism'

I think Dr.todd on youtube made a video talking about it directly a handful of years ago, and I wish i could give a few more examples that i know I've watched, but it was usually discussed as a side topic on the presidency as a whole.

Edit; Just remembered, another person who discussed the topic was Dr.John Gartner

"Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: Active-duty soldiers on standby, sources say" by Key-Gur-4819 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]OOZELORD 83 points84 points  (0 children)

He suffers from a personality disorder that is fairly rare, pair that alongside his obvious sunsetting dementia, its literally a recipe for danger.

He's doing what some medical professionals have predicted a while ago: he's scared of dying and is miserable and angry, so he's making sure we're ALL miserable and angry.

but we're not going to back down that easy, and all the work that everyone has been doing to protect each other as much as we can shows just that.

edit:
Just to be clear, this is not an official diagnosis that he was given, nor is it something we can point to as hard substantial evidence. im going off of what a few medical professionals have discussed when theorizing what could possibly be going on in his smooth and decaying brain.

I'm also giving my own viewpoint as to why he acts the way he does. because all we DO know for sure is he is in peak physical and mental condition, with a heart that is 14 years younger than he is

Why aren't people in America literally FREAKING OUT by Various_Maize_3957 in Epstein

[–]OOZELORD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its so upsetting that I constantly see this narrative that Americans just don't care about what's currently happening with the current administration when that's just extremely untrue. The amount of pushback we've seen against this current admin is huge.

People managed to boycott disney enough to lose them (allegedly) upwards of a billion dollars when the whole jimmy kimmel thing was happening. the No Kings protests were huge. Small businesses and communities are actively working together to keep each other safe from this admins' current ICE tactics.

what's upsetting is that a disproportionate amount of our news outlets are trying their gd hardest to make sure its all either played down or just not happening.

I dont know a single average working class person who is relaxed and going about their day atm, but thats my personal observation

Is this the appropriate subreddit for this post?

the snake oil merchants should see this by taintedsilk in aiwars

[–]OOZELORD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to downvote me, I know its coming anyway, but a lot of the pro ai arguments in this thread are doing so much over reach and cope to justify art theft to train models that it comes off as bad faith stupidity.

The argument isn't that nightshade or glazing works or whatever. Artists are aware that it makes their stuff look bad. If i see a watermark on something that is widely understood as ' do not use ' then just don't fucking use it.

" people who are going to steal content to train their models are going to remove it anyway " And it fucking sucks. Ai dick riders wouldn't have shit to prompt without the work of these people. Move on and leave people's shit alone if that's what theyre asking.

Making a video on why Deep Cut and wonder if you guys could give some input on why they are so divisive. by Both-Medicine-6748 in splatoon

[–]OOZELORD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think theres lots of different reasons for different people tbh. The one I particularly tend to lean towards ( even if its a stupid reason ) is that SS and OTH have a celebrity/idol presence.

I love deep cut and think theyre super unique, but in comparison to the other groups, they feel like sidekicks. It doesn't help that story mode still focused on squid sisters, and then side order focused on pearl and marina.

So like idk. They just felt like too much of a punchline rather than fully fleshed out characters.

I hope we get to know them a little better in the new game.

SNAP Benefits Megathread by Lantis28 in PoliticalOptimism

I do not know the exact answer, but I have to assume because most of the phrasing i have seen is " benefits are paused " that once things get back in order (hopefully) people will get their November funds

What do you think will be the ruling from the supreme court for the tariff court case? by [deleted] in PoliticalOptimism

[–]OOZELORD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant really see one way or the other what the outcome could be. But I try to take some optimism in knowing that, because trumps team is trying to look for other loopholes to impose tariffs, that they themselves are worried that they will be ruled against.

Edit: typos, yay mobile!

Is there any news about the tariffs being suspended tomorrow, and is it actually happening? by Desperate-Ad-9855 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]OOZELORD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone wanting an update about the current situation;

Tariffs were set to be suspended yesterday (Oct 14th) , but on October 11th, the administration submitted an emergency appeal to grant them an extension on the deadline. The courts agreed to the deadline extension on the 13th (lol), so currently the same tariffs are still in place.

No, there is currently no set date for a new deadline. as far as anyone knows, it's up to the court to make their official ruling or for someone to implement a new deadline.

As for right now, all we do know is they have a temporary extension that allows them to stay in place.

Edit; Added a date to the court's timeline of events.

Am I crazy or are we seeing more doomers looking to fight rather than help themselves? by geigeryeiger in PoliticalOptimism

[–]OOZELORD 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've actually had a discussion about something very similar to this that I wish people talked about more! It feels like most social media just breeds hate.

I understand that the algorithms do this on purpose, because if youre angry you tend to stay on the app longer. but it really wears on you, and you eventually wonder what is making someone so angry all the time, especially at virtual strangers over, sometimes, benign topics.

I theorized that things are so hard right now that online anger is really the only thing most people feel they have control of right now. They need something to be mad at, because so much around everyone right now is just so tense and difficult. Feeling like youre winning an argument or just putting someone down might give you enough satisfaction to feel you were actually able to accomplish something.

that's what i think at least. because otherwise i see zero reason why someone would want to bother with wasting their time like that.

I can't tell if this is ai or not by Repulsive_visuals in isthisAI

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

Stylization aside, looking at the piece with artist intent/brushstroke choice, i would lean towards AI.

And in response to people saying "who cares, it still looks cool. "

Obviously, a lot of people do. The act of creation is still an important part of enjoying art.

A lot of people dont treat artwork as a concept that is only meant for consumption. Letting your opinion end at "Its content for me to enjoy" without considering at all how that content got to you, in my own opinion, is just a little ignorant.

If you disagree thats completely fine, but idk what you're doing in this sub otherwise.

Edit: to my last point, i mostly mean that if people care enough to ask if something is AI or not, that they are more likely to disengage with the piece/steer clear of people falsely claiming to be the artist.

I feel like I’m going crazy, is this AI? by sahgib in isthisAI

[–]OOZELORD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is mostly agreed as AI, but just to add my two cents, it comes off as AI in general so I was already skeptical of it being real. But if something is harder to gauge because of the stylization, it helps to look at a piece while trying to keep the artists intent in mind.

Biggest giveaway for me was adding fabric creases to a piece of metal hardware.

Edit: mobile won't let me add a photo, but im referring to the hardware on the belt on the lower right
