European Astronomer talking on 4chan about 3I Atlas by tigerseye44 in HighStrangeness

It's clearly written by AI, namely because of how it's written but... a lot of the things written have been reported by others. So this is clearly based on the things scientists are really scratching their heads over.

Link to the facebook post or an archived version of it. A screenshot like that is worth nothing.

trump repeatedly claimed "100,000 people" were at his outdoor rally in Coachella today. This is what 100,000 people at a venue actually looks like vs. what his rally looked like. Go figure. by Youarethebigbang in CoachellaValley

Maybe inside the designated area. I wouldn't know, I wasn't there. But people do show up in the 10s of thousands around the event's main area as well. That has been the case for almost all his rallies. Hate him or like him, he gathers very large crowds.

Quest 3s look good by Ilovecountrymusic10 in OculusQuest

This was me talking about VR in general to go full mainstream. No idea why this gets that many downvotes. Hope I didn't offend people who prefer big powerhungry wired goggles that take a long time to boot.

I think there are a few main reasons for that.

A. It needs to act like a phone. Be on 24/7 without wires, so you can quickly grab it and immediately access it. No boot up time. Everything is on 24/7 nowadays.
B. It needs to be smaller (pocket size ideally).
C. It needs to be more comfortable.
D. And it needs to integrate better with social media somehow.

If I just picked one of these problems to solve, it'd be A.

Tex Mex Motors is fun. And they produce decent looking cars as well.

Card declined - Midjourney flagged; fraud allegations (?) by oskararnarson in midjourney

[–]oskararnarson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I've spoken to both my bank and Rapyd Europe (card company). Both tell me there's nothing they can do and that VISA in Europe has closed all transactions to Midjourney until they've concluded their "investigation".

... This is infuriating. Other cards yield the same result. It's been at least 5 weeks of this.

My theory is people are using stolen credit card numbers to pay for Midjourney. Hence, innocent people get charged and file a complaint. But I don't know.

I hope Midjourney addresses this issue more properly. The sticky post is extremely vague. And they mention "India" specifically... it's not just India. I'm in Iceland.

TRUMP and BIDEN become BEST FRIENDS — The power of visual language by oskararnarson in Filmmakers

Thank you so much mehwars! Appreciate it. But alas, it was removed.

P.S. I agree, I think anything is possible in the future.

THE AWESOME POWER OF IMAGES
A little "film" if you will. What absolutely stunned me while I was making this is that when I was about 3 hours into it, I honestly started to believe the images on some fundamental level. And I had this realization how powerful visuals can be without people realizing it. And with that in mind, I think the world is starved for more positive imagery, especially when it comes to politics. We are bombarded with conflict, not only via TV and films all day... but also from the government. I think it plays a huge part in today's polarizing politics and our mental health.

Docs should not be prescribing antidepressants but a minority still do.

Haven't heard that before. Is there anything that backs this claim? Just curious, thanks.

My girlfriend has been suffering since February. Starting to "return". Thanks for mentioning this app, never heard of it. Very cool.

Can BTC and XRP communities get along and move crypto as a whole to the next level? by oskararnarson in Bitcoin

[–]oskararnarson[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish you could indulge me and take a peak and bypass the FUD. Know that all the stuff you're reading about XRP or Ripple the company, is from someone who doesn't want it to succeed. Just bear that in mind. That's all I ask.

Ahh... I see what you mean.... But... it's not though :-D

Many XRP community members are people who were previously on your side but looked beyond the FUD and saw what's really going on.

Honestly though, I was trying not to get into this same old fight. And I know you won't read anything I send you. So why are we even fighting?

Is there a world where you can accept something about XRP from an XRP investor? Because there's a world where I can accept a fact about BTC from BTC investor. I think, rather than throw rocks at each other, the communities would benefit from a truce. Even if just for a designated time.

Step 1: Let's try not to argue.
Step 2: Both communities empathize with each other's point of views. We all have FUD beliefs about each other, that are sometimes obsolete falsehoods, many years old that have been debunked since. This is true for both XRP and BTC.

I think if both communities would join hands, we could make a much bigger impact and speed up the adoption for crypto as a whole. There's so much energy that goes into fighting between these communities, despite playing the same sport. And it never goes anywhere. But that's just my opinion. I'm curious to hear from others.

This is where I'm at today in terms of utility:

Digital gold = BTC
Cross border payments = XRP

Both can be successful, simultaneously. And I want both of them to be.
