My method is that if it’s a 5 minute thing, that’s this week. If not, then next quarter.

That’d block google and youtube, even outside a VPN.

Yeah, the NL basically has the US system, except there is only one “network” all providers must be in, premiums are like 150 EUR and there are no other fees like copays or maximums.

So in folk tales from Eastern Europe or Germany I know, most “magic words” are either rhyming nonsense or just specific sentences in the same local language. Think “abracadabra”, ours in Hungary is “csiribú-csiribá”, you’d pronounce it like “chiribooh-chiribaah”.

The problem is that in this ultrafinancialised world, changes in expectations can have immediate consequences.

If we take that money and eg. Saudi or Chinese investments leave Belgium, that will have immediate consequences.

Not that I approve of any of this, and we should help Ukraine more, but capital runs the world.

I think it’s not just Trump. They said something along the lines of releasing it would have catastrophic political consequences.

I imagine they are trying to balance redacting enough so that the redactions themselves won’t cause enough of an outrage so that the unredacted stuff needs to be released, redact stuff in a way that none of the various cliques in both parties feels slighted enough to flip the table.

Add to it that there are probably international contacts in there as well, so an unredacted release could topple US-friendly regimes worldwide. And then the backchannels are probably being lit up constantly by scared rapists with wealth or contacts.

I’ll be honest, your technique makes the half done sketch look better and closer to what I’d consider a finished piece than the AI copy.

It fucked up your lines and made them uninteresting. I like the original better.

I’m neither militantly anti-AI nor an artist, I just think AI is kinda shit at doing things.

Being IT for you must be like being janitor to a brothel

He was? In the primaries?

Bloomberg made a run just to try to prevent him from winning. Then all establishment candidates stepped back at once to endorse Biden, and there was a smear thing coming from Warren…

Is my memory wrong over here?

There was a whole instance, explodingheads, check your instance blocklist to make sure

Actually, you have two cycles, like everyone else. A long cycle that is indeed 26-28 hour long, which makes sure you sleep every once in a while that is pure time based. And a short cycle that syncs to light.

These two cycles interact in complex ways, but the gist of it is that if you fuck with it by staying in a dark room with no lights but screens, it ends up being pretty random, with 26-28 hour long days.

Really depends on the kind of paper. Used to habe to do technical drawings, and there is indeed a distinct smell to certain kinds of paper, but not your usual copy-grade sheets.

To be honest, I was more into ancient Greek, Egyptian and Norse than Christian mythology as I was growing up, so yeah, it might be.

I am not a scholar on these things by far.

The candy shop guy where I grew up was apparently a Serbian specops deserter of the Yugoslavian war.

So yeah, probs.

We don’t have that yet, and it’s harder to pass stuff like it than it is in the US.

For now it’s just a corpo wet dream.

I would rather guess colonialism. Germans living 150 km from each other not understanding each other is because their languages were organically evolving from some 1000 year old protolanguage with barely any communication in medieval times.

The reason the world speaks English is because a relatively small group of speakers from within England colonised the world and kept communications up with those past colonies to this date.

India or the US didn’t have as much time to diverge from old colonial English as Bayern had time to do so from proto-German. Add to it that a sizeable chunk of the colonies are still Commonwealth.

From what I found, Mary supposedly lived at the temple from childhood as a consecrated virgin.

So apparently she was groomed by the priests?

At this point doesn’t he have grounds to sue? I know there was something in the license agreement, but that amount of money might be worth a round checking it out.

45th presisent?

The US is going all Russia on them, airspace violations, stealing ships and stuff
