That guy’s vote is getting counted. Is yours?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

Yes, but thanks to the electoral college it doesn't mean much. State hasn't gone red since 88, and we're on the higher side of population:EC ratio.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Depends on how much fuckery my state will undergo.

The Right: LGBT People groom children!

Also The Right: Eh, the child consented so Trump isn't REALLY a rapist.

Who was buddies with Epstein? Not Biden.

dude has more pictures with Epstein than I have with my brother

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

This is a huge advertisement about the contents of the driver's glovebox and computer storage.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Yep, every accusation is a confession.

I really think its great how stupid people these days advertise the fact so you know to avoid them.

Yeah let's ignore the fact the other guy is a rapist and wanted to fuck his daughter

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I just love the double standard

"The queers are gonna molest your kids! That's what all this sexuality talk is code for! Anyway, Donald Trump's an alright dude, who doesn't want to fuck their own daughter the minute they're born?"

And was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Not to play grammar Nazi in a discussion about literal fascists, but I'm not sure "wanted" is the correct tense here.

...or maybe you have a point - she's not 13 anymore.

Their mind simply is too small for thinking.

From a purely practical perspective, why would you want to reduce your back window visibility in such a way anyways?

c/conservative over there making fun of beta males in an ad.

The alphas:

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Does anyone actually care if they are called a "beta male"? It's such an incel insult... And it's used by very prominent Republicans on TV.

It's kind of hilarious. Like, tell me your an incel without telling me you're an incell, Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

And a lot of the people they call 'beta males' are probably having a more active sex life than they are. I'm as unmanly as you get- I don't like sports, I'm not into action movies or guns or knives or anything related to those things, people being loud and raucous make me highly anxious, I'm into all sorts of esoteric stuff when it comes to music and TV and film, I love nerd discussions and I cry when I'm sad. I may possibly even "cry liberal tears" in their worldview.

And yet I've also been happily married for over 24 years.

So I guess I'm cool with being a beta male.

Edit: I forgot to add that I don't like beer in my list of 'ways I'm a beta male.'

Conservatism is a mental disease.

Really into this, but is the license plate bluriness due to JPEG compression or AI? Genuine question

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (7 children)

On another post where a web comic showed similar artifacts, I also asked the same question - and concluded that the comic's resolution was "enhanced", either by the phone itself (when they saved it from their source) or by a (re)poster. So I think that here it's the same thing - AI """enhancement""".

It's kind of both. A lot of modern Samsung phones do this really weird "AI Enhancement" shit to improve the look of zoomed in shots. I remember testing it out at Best Buy, taking pictures of some Blu-rays on the other side of the store with the 20x zoom option. The original photo was pretty much what you'd expect, it looked like a low-res super cropped pic, but then it applied the "AI Enhancement" and did it's best to fill in the text and price labels, and wound up looking exactly like a bunch of garbled AI text.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

Compression. I saw very similar "smoothing" on a zoomed in photo I took recently at home as the city sign in the background shows.

Edit: these are a bunch of turkeys that were about 50 feet away but once I zoomed into the picture the texture seemed really off.

This looks like an oil painting I'd see at an AirBnB cabin

This tracks for Affton. It's a county municipality of St Louis, MO well known for delightful barely-graduated-high-school hoosier antics. There is a good chance the truck floorboard is littered with empty airplane shots and scratch off lottery tickets.

More projection. Better hide his tag.

Ralph Wiggum voice:

"I'm a centrist"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't really like the phrase "this is their whole identity". Really is just uncharitable to any person for being passionate about something.

By the same logic just as many people could be uncharitably described as "being queer is their whole identity", just because they are very vocal about it.

Disregarding that: What an absolute weirdo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I think the problem is when your whole identity is rooted in fear and anger. Being vocal about LGBTQ+ issues is trying to prop up people, however this is just being crass because you've given into the paranoia and have nothing else of value to add to the conversation.
