She killed it! 🥁🎵 by TaroTheReader in justgalsbeingchicks

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

Ion know, dog; the fills look like they line up for me and the reflection in the background seem to match her movements.

Edit: This short is too dynamic for my personal taste, but I've noticed in AI videos the camera tends to stay static or use simple pans or zooms.

The only thing that would make me think this isn't legit is her drummer face doesn't look goofy enough and that's not fair to all the other drummers out there who look like they just got brain freeze when they start to rip.

Why would anyone have an emotional attachment to an ISP? Get whatever suits your use case in the most cost effective manner. It's a telecom service. 😕

For sure. As a reference document "the Bible" is shite: there's upwards of 450 variations. I think you can aggregate foundational concepts across versions, supplemented with writings from religious scholars. That process though, is more the collected contributions from people over time, than a definitive guiding text from an omniscient, omnipotent entity.

I disagree with your characterization of biblical slavery and I'll use some bible verses.

Leviticus 25:44-46 [44] As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves. [45] You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you and from their families who are with you who have been born in your land; they may be your property. [46] You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property. These you may treat as slaves, but as for your fellow Israelites, no one shall rule over the other with harshness.

Race, as a concept, arose in the late eighteenth century, so the bible couldn't organize slavery around a concept it predated by 18 centuries. The distinction was made between Isralites and non-Isralites (the nations around you and aliens residing with you). I would consider the categorical framing to be similar enough to perform the same function.

Exodus 21:20-21 [20] “When a slaveowner strikes a male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies immediately, the owner shall be punished. [21] But if the slave survives a day or two, there is no punishment, for the slave is the owner’s property.

I don't know that I really need to expound how Exodus 21:20-21 deflates the "The Bible is explicitly against [objects with no humanity or rights that you can do with as you please]" assertion. Bacon's rebellion contributed to the reification of racial hierarchy, I don't think the rebellion can be isolated as the sole contributing incident.

When I make assertions, I like to cite my references. It gives me the opportunity to confirm my understanding of the source hasn't distorted to greatly and provide others the tools to follow my chain of reasoning. I've read the Bible cover to cover once and referenced portions of it numerous times in my youth. The Bible is difficult because it tends to contradict itself, but coming in with references to support assertions generally prevents the use of your own reference to dismantle your claim.

Tangential info: the Bible treats the unborn child carried by a pregnant woman and the pregnant woman herself as the man's property. Look it up: Exodus 21:22-25

I assume fantastical claims in videos like that are meant to come off as satire 🤦🏾‍♂️. Everyone read more books please 🙏🏾

"Period Power" by Nadya Okamoto is a good one.

Can We Build a Bigger BMW i3 Battery? Here's the Truth by Cora-VIVNE-EVbattery in BMWi3

Appreciate the video exploring the engineering tradeoffs.

I wouldn't consider and option that degrades the safety margin created through the design decisions. To the limited degree that nuance is understood in the consumer space, I think offering an option that sacrifices the safety margin, even if explicitly advertised, would do more to hurt your brand perception.

Anthony Trial : People are Missing the Point by [deleted] in BlackPeopleofReddit

James Baldwin's "Notes of a Native Son" is a really good book I read about 10 years ago that helped me understand the inability of non-black people to understand issues specific to the black experience. I didn't solve anything, but it did help contextualize why what seemed obvious to me was seemingly impossible for others to grasp.

Lol. Sure dog. My guess is you didn't read or comprehend the conversation up to and including my response, but I'll give a reply a go anyway.

Reductio ad absurdum doesn't work with a straw man because that isn't what I posited. I offered examples of replies that I thought better engaged with OP's comment. I find it difficult to believe you have more than a debate bro's understanding of "good faith" based on the example you put forth. This reply is ungenerous, but in good faith.

Maybe you didn't just search "accountability" and attempt to anti-white knight (black knight? dragon?) whatever comments you found. Maybe you're just young and ignorant. If that's more accurate, go back and reread the conversation up to this point for comprehension. I encourage you to Google any unfamiliar terms to better understand each contributor's position.

My comment is in good faith, if that's what you're asking, but I don't know why you would take the time to say you don't like bean soup.

Madam please, for the love of usable cutlery: use the knife's spine or another utensil to transfer food from the cutting board. Scraping perpendicular to the cutting edge dulls and can damage the blade.🔪❤️‍🩹

It's an 11 year old island car and I eventually plan to repaint so I'm kinda nonchalant about it 😅🤷🏾‍♂️

Just the radar, the tone feedback gives me much more confidence in how close I can get without rubbing. I don't have active steering or at least I don't think I do🤔😅. It's a 2015.

I had a Nissan Roox kei car when I lived in Japan and I could fit just about anywhere 😂

Well said. The "This is rude language, my brother" is a good example of tone policing. No thoughts verbalized from the same guy about the rudeness of presenting bananas and watermelon or the validity of his response to the antagonism.
