#VFX #AI Just had someone sincerely suggest that the SynthEyes user manual could be re-written by Chat GPT. 🤣 I am still laughing!

@AnarchoNinaWrites "You aren't a capitalist because you don't have capital." I laughed out loud!

Shout out to everyone else who doesn’t celebrate Mother’s Day, for whatever reason you don’t .

I just had a conversation with a guy who said, “Yeah, well I’m a capitalist.”

So I asked, “Okay, how much capital do you have?”

Boy, oh boy, does that question put things in perspective. He became a caricature of an old Warner Brothers cartoon character, trying to compose himself as he fumbled for words, all while he avoided actually answering the question.

So I simply repeated the question. I highly recommend.

@LeftistLawyer And we should stop calling it “profit seeking,” when it’s just “rent seeking,” which is often the case.

@AnarchoNinaWrites It’s not difficult to find evidence to support that racism has historically always been fomented by capital.

@aral @RadicalGraffiti Ahem! In keeping with Yoda’s natural speech cadence and patterns, I submit this superior version.

@AnarchoNinaWrites LOL! I’ve been lately having a fair number of “Wait, has hell frozen over?” moments.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I love all the, “Yeah but he wasn’t really in charge” talk. Me? I’ve never been remotely close to any child trafficking organization. It wasn’t even hard. Effortless, in fact.

@AnarchoNinaWrites $520 million is a start. Now we need that wealth tax.

Party pooper post script, just for some perspective ...
1 million seconds is 11 days
1 billion seconds is 32 years.

@talia_christine @AnarchoNinaWrites I have never, ever thought of doxxing anyone … until I saw that guy.

@AnarchoNinaWrites This is why I am perpetually angry at these people, this batch and all the previous batches I can remember back to the 1980s.

#CDCsays Refinance your immunity debt with Wells Fargo!

@AnarchoNinaWrites It’s almost like Chat GPT was directed to create fifth column microblog posts.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Corollary trivia: when Tony Scott directed the movie CRIMSON TIDE, the DOD wouldn’t cooperate because it criticized the security of the nuclear weapons program. Tony then had to steal all the shots of submarines breaching.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I'm only disappointed that you didn't mention internet searching for the Mont Pelerin Society. Go big or go home, right?

@mainframed767

When I see someone proclaiming a fear of "... extremism on both end of of the political spectrum," I always ask myself, "WTF are they talking about?" Like what policies exactly? Without specifics, this just sounds like centrist nonsense.

Yes, this is a sub-toot.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Literally was saying exactly what you just said about speed-running the Weimar Republic history to someone IRL last night. I wish more people got this.

@raghukamath I look forward to checking it out! https://okular.kde.org @geolaw
