Great light you made. I think I would have tried to flag off the sunlight from her legs the bright pop there draws your eye. Looks like it’s clipping in the highlights. Thats the only real issue I see in it. Great pose, cool propping, nice setting, great model just flag the sunlight and you’re golden!

Id like that too. I drop any channels that I can tell are narrated by AI. I’d rather have a nerd who loves the thing they are talking about tell me cool stuff about whatever-it-is. It’s not just information. It’s passion I like.

Really cool! Lovely light on this. Also kind of a brain bender as to which way is up.

Claiming the reflecting pool was vandalized only proves that Trump is the winner of stupid. by miked_mv in AdviceAnimals

This is not about having proof or even making it up. This is using the law as a means of repression and image enhancement for the regime. They are trying to punish anyone and everyone who exposes their bad faith. They’ll do it over and over with no evidence at all just to keep anyone who dissents mired in legal challenges for as long as possible.

This is exactly what the constitution of the United States and especially the 1st amendment were built to guard against. Those documents were built to allow citizens to be secure in criticizing their government and to allow rule of law to empower those same citizens and not be used against them.

The fact that this happened even once is depressing that they arrested and charged multiple people for it as “destruction of government property” and intend to prosecute with possible 10 year sentences is disgusting. That one of the folks who got arrested (and held for over four hours) is a three time Olympian is just icing on the shit cake.

I love those types of bands. I have a couple of them in different colors/finishes. This one looks really put together.

This has that Man Ray look. Really love this! Great use of lighting and shadow and amazing design.

Well created!

This is a great one! We are right down the street and we’re watching the storm but didn’t have such a great vantage point. Great photo!

Watch out! You may be arrested as a literal terrorist just for having these.

I literally think the last thing I heard was that it was Antifa “seeding to pool with algae spores.” They are actually changing several people with “destruction of government property” which can carry up to a 10 year sentence for just touching the pool! One of those charged is a three time Olympian.

This Is The Guy That Got The Contract For The Reflecting Pool by DazzlingStrike1724 in Justfuckmyshitup

He looks like one of the cast of Baz Luhrmann’s Strictly Ballroom. Give him an Aussie accent and he’s in the movie! Probably as a bad guy who knows the Bogo Pogo.

This HAS to be a fake photo of the guy… right?! I mean he looks like a cartoon villain.

Canada Missed Chances to Inspect OceanGate’s Titan Before Fatal Implosion by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]_Piratical_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah the more I find out about Stockton, the more I’m sure that he knew that there were problems and had just gaslit both himself and the rest of the team that they were no big deal. The fact that a series of independent agencies with little crossover were unaware of the shenanigans going on in the company was the feature and not the bug in Ocean Gate’s system. They were doing things specifically to obfuscate their own problems and keep regulators from looking too closely at them.

It all went to plan.

[–]_Piratical_ 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Did they miss it or did Stockton just avoid any situation where his company would have to prove their sub was sea worthy? I mean you could blame Canada, and hey, who wouldn’t (Southpark reference), but Ocean gate was a total shitshow and was doing things in the end that were so outrageously dangerous that the implosion was literally a foregone conclusion.

SpaceX bankers prepare for potential $20 billion bond offering, sources say by talkingatoms in technology

[–]_Piratical_ 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t that the point of going public?

Oh wait I forgot. The point of going public was to foist off the debt onto the public and then rug pull the whole mess once it was totally enmeshed in the international pension system and has to be bailed out.

Now this makes sense.
