    You can't just take the position "all Republicans are stupid and inept" because importantly they're not.

    They're very effective at spinning propaganda for their base of support. Theyre incredibly effective at riling people up.

    They can spin a ridiculous narrative like this and plan another insurrection simultaneously.

    I dunno about that. The only realistic future imo is that people will stop caring and AI will be treated as an artist's tool.

    Not trying to make a moral judgement about it, thats just the only way I can really see it shaking out.

    You already know it's only gonna get more impressive and ubiquitous.

    Something about the travel of the analog sticks was immediately and immensely off putting to me. Not the feel of the plastic surface that your thumbs rest on, but the physical feedback of moving the sticks.

    I dunno it's parhaps a nitpick but I went from 'holy shit I need this' to 'eh it's a cool device' within 30 minutes of play time.

    You might be shocked how quickly you get used to reading on your phone. A nice epub reader (I recommend a nice app called FB reader) + libgen and you're golden.

    I also have a nice 7-in tablet that I got for reading, one of Samsung's non-flagships. I use my phone more out of pure convenience, but I have definitely put my hours in on both. Usually I'll load up a book I'm reading on both and kinda go back and forth.

    I don't know what a .webp file is but I don't like it. They're like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you're looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with. Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit
