Did he do it in cursive? Fucking practically in subscript to fit a whole sentence on the thing?

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?

I’m curious if this is a “dogs” community vs a “bad clip art” community?

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

And keep in mind… A single “bad clip art” rule can change this community… while opening the door to shitty doodles that tangentially reference dogs, all while claiming bad clip art makes up a dogs community.

Suddenly this /c feels like an AI cuddle pic community, not ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with ACTUAL DOGS.

Curious, do you want to see people’s dogs? You know, animals with a history, personality etc…. Or should this be a community of folks looking at cutesy hallmark clipart?

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.

Cilantro could be the deal maker. Not for me but that’s a cliff…

If you have stuff like Peas and Carrots, why not make biryani? Kinda same but better suited seasonins…

Peas in a quesadilla sounds wack, though possibly maybe tasty.

What the fuck did Zuckerberg ever “lead” when it came to AI or anything for that matter.

Sad bitch was pumping shitty dead-eyed vr avatars as the future while AI was spinning up. Named the company “meta” why? Not cause of AI…

Now cause he wrote (likely ai wrote) a rambling essay, he’s “leading” something? He’s never led, he’s acquired and pretended.

His shitty ramblings have been cited as the what everyone hates.

Fucking waste of a ceo chair is a Johnny-come-lately idiot waving his arms around in desperation as his college theft slowly fades into irrelevance.

Clawing their way back… Cause they’re so LEADING…

A good quote about this dipshit:

“Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are not innovators. The only thing they’ve innovated around is their core product, Facebook, which a lot of people would argue was stolen in the first place. They’re outstanding acquirers. Just as I have reveled in the train wrecks that were Portal and Libra, this is the next $10 billion insect hitting the windshield of reality for Facebook."

"When the internet came about, the initial vision for retail was that you would have these avatars that would go to a shelf for a sweater and then walk over to the cash register and buy it. It was just stupid and didn’t make any sense. We have these similar things now.  We’re going to be legless avatars in a meeting? This is the cynical part of me, but I just love the fact that 10,000 Facebook employees are driving to work every day to accomplish absolutely nothing. I guess they’ll get some IP out of it. I don’t know what the biggest product failures are in terms of capital spent; at $10 billion, this will be right up there. But if it changes the conversation for several months, maybe it will be worth it?"

Possibly because a standard magnetometer cannot detect reactive elements down to the level that would be affected by a giant insane field associated with an MRI?

A simple xray, or a pass-through of a single metal detector at a court house is one thing….

…but Imagine a tattoo with ferrous ink. In a simple airport magnetometer, it’s no thing. In an MRI it’s ripped out of flesh.

Basically tattooing itself can be a very wild scenario. I caught artists in Tunisia making do and had a friend shooting cats in Cuba as we provided ink.

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…
