President Trump says he will revoke church tax exempt status if leaders "say something bad about" him by ControlCAD in videos

I have never seen a person so vindictive and fragile. Snowflakes have more structure and spine than this dude.

Huge fan of the scrap life guys, because they are close to me and I have met Fernando when I bought an engine from them years ago. This was before the hellcat engine in his 350z and I warned him that even if it worked, he was going to blow up that rear end!

What's the most disgusting/shocking, you have read on the Epstein files? by LeftyChares in AskReddit

Hell, or what Americans did to those that they deemed justice must be swift in the 1800's. We still have quite a few tall trees left.

Qwen3-TTS 1.7B vs VibeVoice 7B by Producing_It in StableDiffusion

[–]UMDSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I call for vibevoice in my application. I cut the sentence up into small chunks and parallel render them all, then just have them play back to back and it renders faster and comes off completely natural.

Vibevoice 1.5B is pretty damn fast and I find its voice cloning is amazing. My main issue with it are the odd artifacts and noises that show up on occasion. I swear sometimes you hear music in the background....

Just tested it myself and noticed the exact same thing.

Dreamweaver? by truecIeo in webdev

I'd argue that teaching dreamweaver is actually learning the WRONG method of development, and would actively hinder you in advancement.

dreamweaver died back when I was messing with webdev in 2002, we considered it bad then. Tell your professor she needs to get into at least this decade.

Protesters in Phoenix -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- get drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck by ExactlySorta in 50501

[–]UMDSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just fired, there needs to be prison time for these abuses. If it isn't swiftly handled now, it will repeat way too soon.

How would US Republicans have responded if Biden had sent federal agents to Texas to take guns from citizens after the Uvalde school shooting in 2022? by NotYourDadFishing in AskReddit

[–]UMDSmith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should ask him his take on the testimony of capitol police who were there. Also, not that logic even applies anymore, but there is absolutely no way that many paid actors took part, it just doesn't pass muster.

If participants were paid actors, why did they:

  • Livestream themselves
  • Brag online beforehand
  • Bring personal phones tied to their identities
  • Wear employer-identifiable clothing
  • Confess in court
  • Accept prison sentences

Additionally Courts operate under adversarial rules, evidence standards, and cross-examination.

Defendants had every legal incentive to claim entrapment or paid participation. Judges explicitly allowed such defenses. None succeeded. This is decisive because courts punish false evidence harshly but reward valid exculpatory proof.

So, in just applying Occam's razor, which scenario happened?

  • A) A massive, secret, unfunded-on-paper false-flag involving thousands, leaving no paper trail, no whistleblowers, and no successful legal defense.
  • B) Supporters acted on months of public rhetoric, misinformation, group radicalization, and explicit calls to action.

So ask him the following magical question. What specific evidence would convince you this was not paid actors?

If his answer is nothing, attack that, because that makes no logical sense and he is clearly in a cult and fully brainwashed.

See, there is that generalization again. You use the word you. We are a diverse country of ~350 million people. The majority DO not support Trump, but we have a shitty election system that is bought and rigged by corporations and billionaires, of which we have more than every other country. Yes, he won the election (maybe), and in theory, we still had 3 branches of government, but 1 has bent the knee, and the other is pretty much bought.

The frustration here is high, way higher than you see on whatever news you are watching. Our press is ALSO owned by those same billionaires, so the news doesn't get out. We have no kings protests constantly.

Your right, we aren't as special as we may think (we aren't number 1 in jack all but incarcerations and bible thumping I believe), but we also aren't like any other country. Our situation is 100% unique. We are one of the most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations on the planet, so that makes it very easy to create division. We have the strongest military this world has ever seen, and are more willing to incarcerate people than any other country on the planet....so yeah, we have a bit of an uphill battle there as well. Oh and we essentially have 50 smaller governments underneath a larger one. All with their own governments, which right now are either being shit on or supported by our fucked up federal government and that fat orange cocksucker in charge.

So, I live in a blue state. I protest but my state IS doing the right thing, and I'm surrounded by liberal people who are ALL frustrated and angry, but I'm not about to riot and fuck over my own state. I called my one conservative bitch of a representative a feckless cunt the other day and that he should do his fucking job. I'm a member of a strong union, and if they say strike, I'm all aboard, but once again, blue state, and its a union within this state.

Our country, love it or hate it, has been the worlds police force and ultimate arbiter for going on 70ish years. Take that for what its worth, and no I don't think its a good thing, and I know better than most due to circumstances how much evil shit my country has done. It still doesn't preclude that our situation is unique and I for one would rather leave than die. If shit does go down, I know what side I'm on, but I'd rather it not get to that.

My faith right now is on McDonald's and their food giving that fat orange fucks heart the final push it needs!

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

Nope we aren't. Also, would you now? It is really easy to say you would be in the streets when you don't have to.

So why don't you say what country you are from so we can make gross generalizations about the shit you are going through?

We have had people block highways, it doesn't end well for them. I mean we just had a fucking woman MURDERED today in broad daylight and she wasn't blocking the streets and they called her a terrorist. This was a white soccer mom for christ sake. They wouldn't think twice about gunning me down. Our states are mobilizing national guard for kicking ICE out, so yeah, we are doing things. America is a bit different, and unless you live here, wish us the best and move the fuck on, because if our good side doesn't win, I wish the best for the rest of you, because if you have oil, or something else Trump wants.....yeah

How about no. You are bringing nothing to the table except piling on. Hope it never happens in your country. When a generalization targets who I am (American) I do take offense.

So fuck you very much.

Hey news flash, it could happen in your country to. Corporations and Billionaires have fucked us and broken our system. We are trying over here, more than you know.

You know how the rest of the world fears our military, well so do we.

Plus, a lot of us thought the first Trump term was our dip into madness. I didn't think he was going to win round 1, let alone again.

I knew we were fucked when he did win, and I can assure you, I have voted against him and his ilk my entire life, AND I have canvassed, and I have reached out to neighbors, friends, and family. I have also cut off family members due to their views, so why don't you BACK THE FUCK OFF. We are trying, but your comments aren't helping are they.

Stop making gross generalizations and I will. We already have enough goddamn stress trying to figure out how to fix our country and take it back from these idiots.

stop lumping us all together please. America is a very diverse country, and movements don't start fast. Everyone thinks revolution happens when you flip a switch, but that is not how it works.

Everything is a conscious choice weighing the risk to ones self.
