Because freshness feels so good

Oh, Chuck

Happily agnostic. Who knows what’s out there. The universe is vast, and we only see a few dimensions. We can’t fathom what is out there or anything about it. So I believe it’s equally arrogant to definitely say there is a god or to say there absolutely is not. Or many gods. Or the Q continuum.

What I will say is that the church here has both hurt society and hurt my family individually, and has been thoroughly corrupted. I don’t think of any individual as less for believing or not believing in a higher power, it brings comfort, but the organized structure has hurt too many people.

I tried docker directly on LXCs. Don’t do it man. It’s brittle, it barely works, and every proxmox update it will cause things to break. It takes forever to get working because you’re disabling things that should not be disabled, and it will only get harder.

I spent years trying to make what you’re talking about work well, and it never did.

Just install a VM and run docker in there. If you really want to make docker containers more generic, then really you may be ready to go full kubernetes.

Exactly. We all agree that the specific case definitely should be in their favor, but now it’s going to be this whole thing. I think really the town should have given a single exemption for them, but now that they pushed it they risk everyone wanting to do it. Hey kids, come paint a mural for Starbucks (for free) showing how much fun it is to drink Starbucks!

That goes into opinion. I personally really like her music, I listen to a lot of others too, but I’m not going to stop listening to my favorite.

For me it’s that it could be used to do much MORE with the same investment. Look at Skyrim. Where we had Lydia and a voice actor for a few lines of dialogue (and they were shared with many other NPCs), with AI they could effectively make Lydia a full fledged companion where you could ask them questions and talk with them, for the same cost as the original version.

Instead they’re trying to REPLACE actors as you said to save money. No, it should be IN ADDITION to everything. You still need to hire the voice actor, train their model, PAY FOR THEIR FULL LINES, and then you can do some AI stuff too at the end to round out the character more.

“threat confirmation of ban forced sale”

I’m really tired of the media and the sensationalized headlines that it’s being “banned”. It’s not. It’s a forced sale or a spinoff. It’s just that byte dance can’t operate it in the US anymore, they are free to sell it or spin it off as its own non-Chinese backed company and continue standard operations.

I agree, my comment was mostly so people could see that nuance, and I hope what you said is exactly what happens. The age old pornography law, I can’t define it but I know it when I see it. Codifying it as art that does not explicitly advertise would be the way to go I think.

I agree, but you said I need to stop listening to her. I disagree with that. I can still listen to her music and enjoy that while also at the very same time think that she is a billionaire who should be giving most of her wealth away.

Ok, sarcastic response wasn’t needed. I am not the city council, I am just a guy who understands their initial response. What you’re suggesting very well be the way they decide to go, however I don’t think I deserved that tone.

If the Luxor didn’t include the label Doritos on it then does that make it art?

So what as soon as a musician or artist hits a big enough line in the sand we all have to stop liking their music?

I don’t know, I’ll play devil’s advocate. He says it was never advertising, it was art. Okay, let’s say he’s right. What about the Starbucks next door when they out branded coffees on their door? What about the shell station making “art” of themselves?

Was the Luxor in Vegas lining one side of the pyramid a Dorito advertising or art?

I’m not saying he’s wrong at all, but I see the city’s side. If they allow one, they have to allow everyone, and that means that every corporate entity will use the free ad “art” space

Downvoting because this is NOT “mildly” infuriating

Hello! If you aren’t aware we do have a community over at !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech if you’d like to join! Always happy to have more!

Every old person was terrified of the government determining who would live or die. So instead they decided to keep paying for the privilege of letting a for-profit insurance company to do the same thing instead

Completely agree. Went to her show, loved it. She’s donated to every food bank in each city she’s stopped at, but I don’t think it’s nearly what she could be doing. She has “put an actual dent in climate change” money bur instead gives a few thousand to food banks. Like I said, people can hold 2 opinions.

As a swiftie, I can say you’re right. However, there’s also no such thing as a purely good or purely bad person, and liking a billionaire does not make someone good or bad. People, it turns out, are complex.

I can love Taylor’s music while also criticizing her for her excessive personal jet use and massive pollution problem.

I think if we stop making it a binary decision that more people will start opening up about changes need to make. In Taylor’s case, most Swifties would never dare say anything negative about her for fear of others in the fandom thinking they aren’t true fans, and vis versa, I’m sure people here will read this as I must support billionaires because I like her music. No, complex multifaceted opinions are valid.

I think we should abolish ICE vehicles. It doesn’t mean I think I need to yell at family members who pull up in their 02 Camry because they can’t afford to upgrade.

It’s not going to be banned. It’s a forced sale or spinoff. They’ll still have TikTok. Media just made up the term ban. It’s just that tencent has ties overseas and they don’t want the foreign influence

my stars, I may faint
