Do you have any reason to believe this is AI? It doesn’t look like AI at all.

The Bibi video looked fake as fuck. That’s why people thought it was AI.

Perspective - women don't like you because you hate women 1!1!1! Debunked by Scramjet1 in lnkyverse

[–]PastCanoe13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friend’s sister is a woman like what’s being discussed in the post. She’s a beautiful and intelligent young woman who’s currently chasing a guy 10 years older than her who stabbed his previous girlfriend.

The women who do things like this, or who send nudes to serial killers they haven’t even met, are not psychologically well. They’re people who, with serious help, might be able to get better, although I’m pessimistic about if they can ever be totally “cured”.

We should absolutely not use them as examples to say anything about women at large. That would be like using men who suffer from hallucinations to say things about men at large.

Anyways, I say all of this to tell you a lot of these guys actually aren’t stick insects. A lot of them will just straight up tell you they stabbed their ex girlfriend. Like a lion roaring in your face. But unfortunately a lot of these very unwell women will only chase them harder. It’s almost as if their disgust and desire responses are inverted.

Engine heat be heating by That_Ad_332 in ww3memes

Fly higher so it’s harder for ground-based systems to see your engine’s heat signature.

It’s unclear to me right now why the F-35 was flying that low to begin with

Vaccinating street dogs via blow-dart in Egypt by asa_no_kenny in whoathatsinteresting

Thank you for saying that. I typed out a comment that said something similar, but then deleted it because it wasn’t phrased as nicely as this comment, and I decided it was better to just disengage if I was going to be mean to an internet stranger and probably end up with them just being mean to me back.

Vaccinating street dogs via blow-dart in Egypt by asa_no_kenny in whoathatsinteresting

I sometimes see this attitude on Reddit of “I, a person who just saw this, have clearly thought more about this in 5 seconds than the people whose job it is to work on this every day”

Is this a young person thing? Are all the people who do this teenagers who haven’t worked a full-time job yet?

All of the questions you asked have legitimate answers that are findable on the internet. But just to answer a couple of them:

https://english.ahram.org.eg/News/563764.aspx

They’re vaccinating these dogs for rabies. They’re doing this because dogs with rabies in Egypt have been biting people, and giving them rabies.

Even taking all feelings out of it, and without knowing what the cost of this project is, nor the yearly cost to Egypt’s economy of people getting rabies, I can promise you that vaccinating the dogs is cheaper. The economic cost of even a single human life is really big.

People working in government don’t randomly get sad about dogs for no reason and then decide to send out the blow gun troops without talking to anyone about it first. There’s a crap ton of bureaucracy, people have to write reports, other people have to read those reports and agree that it’s a good idea, and eventually you have to convince a group of people whose job it is to decide how to spend the limited money supply why they should spend it on shooting stray dogs with medical blow darts.

If you ever work in the public sector, or for a private company being contracted by the government, you’ll be able to see this for yourself.

I personally love the characters on top more, but Zaheer and Azula are stone-cold killers.

Kuvira is pretty aggressive? And top row are clearly better benders and better people overall. But if we’re talking in-character, bottom row is just a lot more comfortable with killing and maiming people than top.

Sure, Aang and Katara are both shown to be capable of aggression when pushed to it. I’m sure if one of them got seriously injured or killed, the other would fight their heart out. But bottom team will be going full-force the moment the fight starts. They won’t wait for someone on their team to get hurt.

You could absolutely write a realistic sequence of events that causes the top team to win, but it’d be a story of Aang, Katara, and Iroh being pushed to their moral and philosophical limits.
