    I can dig it and ultimately it’s a community thing. Funny though the account constantly has like 25 upvotes and zero commenters supporting, especially now. We’re posting… but what about the constant 25 upvoters who seem to love shitty clipart?

    Still say we should have a “hallmark clip art” community for this stuff and dogs can be actual dog content. Quality wise I do not see a difference between this stuff and AI. Same absolute value.

    OP is generally a “positive” contributor but also a lame bs contributor. They post shit like “trans women are women” in a women’s sub and even that community’s general response is “um ok… so what?” As in there’s no fucking point in saying “clouds are cloudy” in a clouds based community.

    The poster doesn’t really further any convo, content or anything. They’re just posting the most basic slop. Same absolute value as ai slop.

    They don’t really add anything. They basically virtue signal the most basic and banal shit.

    I’d argue this approach does detract from the overall quality of the community.

    Where’s the positive contribution amongst all that repetitive, low hanging slop? Where do we all benefit?

    So maybe a vote is worth it. Really though the bigger issue to consider over time is “dogs” vs “bad clip art”.

    Is this a community for sharing dogs? Or an avenue for anyone to shit out dog-adjacent clip art???

    And keep in mind…One “bad clip art” rule opens the door to shitty doodles that tangentially reference dogs yet make think this is a dogs community.

    Suddenly it’s an AI cuddle pic community, not ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with ACTUAL DOGS.

    It’s not time enough for traditional measurements of a political “honeymoon”…

    To clarify, “honeymoon” is NOT a measure of accomplishment; “honeymoon” is a period of possibly effective influence.

    The “presidential honeymoon” is the first year of every presidential admin, representing the best time to push forward initiatives before the next 2 year congressional elections can push back…

    It’s not an issue of power so much as assumption of such, this article is pretty much unnecessary.






  • And you’re right to point out the distinction but I’d mention another distinction that in the states a rail plan crosses multi state jurisdictions, zoning, needs, electorates… all that in a country where there are specific political mechanisms designed to make top down federal imposition difficult.

    In other words, a data center, or a flock contract is easy to install. It only needs “corruption” aka approval in ONE location. It’s spread is implemented point by point, it’s not like a gas pipeline, fiber cable or any PHYSICAL infrastructure that must cross multiple borders.

    A corridor railway, unlike individual cameras or server farms, needs sign off across multiple states plus multiple sectors of public and private land to get started. It is hard to get all those parties and locations to conform and adhere to a plan; all in a country expressly designed to prevent the fed from forcing it all.

    That’s before construction gets ever considered. So compare that to installing a flock cam…
