Nintendo using zero conflict materials is really cool.

"Sony, however, reported that it's ongoing slide in standards had continued, with just 69 percent of mineral sources up to scratch. It's the third year in a row its percentage has slipped, from in the low 80s previously."

That's disappointing to hear.

Glad to see many companies improving (disappointing that Sony is getting worse). Also reported that Logitech is at 98% and Apple "maintains 100%".

Very cool to hear about the 100% outside conflict zone by Nintendo.

Sony getting worse is a disappointment.

Great to see an improvement, sad to see Sony significantly worsening.

Your first mistake is suggesting that IGN are actual journalists making a report in a respectable publication which has ethical guidelines and publishing standards that have to be met.

I think I've never seen so much bad faith discourse around a game before. Why is IGN not a banned source at this point considering everything coming from them, FOR THIS GAME, is proven to be unreliable at best and straight up false at worst?

[DocWager]

So shit talking an outside source is bannable now?

I think people underestimate the chud's influence because they don't want them to have that sort of pull. They just don't want to believe it. Almost every time I open steam forums I see it. 2 women kissing in a screenshot for a game? The forums had a long ass thread about how that's sexual content and the game should be banned.

These games that get targeted get review bombed, or have their bad reviews elevated, and their forums get flooded because they're invested in seeing the games or the industry conform to server what they want. I think the healthy approach is to not believe the world does, or should, or ever has revolved around you. Even someone having these stupid beliefs should understand that not everything is about them, or their group.

The worst part is that the Luddites were correct.
They didn't oppose technology, they opposed machinery that would replace their labor and reduce their pay.

The Luddites had a point.

There is no generative AI that fails at rendering black people - she told herself this.  But if there was, does she think it's because some racist in silicon valley injected an algorithm to say, "Make the blacks unrenderable" or that it's simply a consequence of lacking enough training data?  Does it lack training data because some racist at every AI company directed the machine to prioritize scouring the net for images of white people?  If so, isn't that a good thing that black content isn't being 'stolen' (her words, not mine) and used in AI at the same rate as whites?  Wouldn't it be more racist if it scraped more black content than white?

Surprisingly, those movies are dedicated earners.  You have to take your kids to watch something.  Or make an excuse to your Disney Adult sibling why you can't go but be sure to call later and tell me about it.

AI (the real models, not the sanitized big tech stuff) can render black people just fine, honestly it's crazy how good it is

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

But AI can't do hands!!

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

... but AI can't do letters!

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

AI can do motherfucking stitching, the only reason letters are usually jumbled is because of copyright issues.
Remove those limitations, AI can do anything.

[Propagandhim]

You can train your own LoRas on anything anyway.  You can have a black-people only LoRa where you construct your own universe of just black people, completely separated from the devilry and maledictions of the white man, a wetdream for Nepenthe.  She has no understanding of anything, and she has such an extreme view of it.

[D3RANG3D]

So what you be saying is, is that AI can subvert the white devils tricknology!

[Nintex]

The sad thing for the black community and culture though is that because of people like Nepenthe and the bullshit concept of cultural appropriation as well as recent DEI failures no one will dare touch it during the AI boom. At the same time western judeo-Christian culture is banned because white people bad.

So everything and I mean literally everything in the AI space is gravitating towards animu and the uncanny valley Korean CG gacha waifus now.

here's the other question: do you want AI to be able to represent you and your culture's ideas or not?

there are situations like brazil broadly making overtures to opt out of AI, and companies obliging:

https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/meta-decides-suspend-its-generative-ai-tools-brazil-2024-07-17/

if this continues and they somehow successfully excise their culture from AI, then someday in the future when AI is ubiquitous, you'll be able to generate pictures of anything on earth, except brazilians and their culture; you'll be able to generate any kind of text you want, but not in brazilian portuguese, or with knowledge of works from great portuguese authors and thinkers

productivity doubles worldwide, except in brazil, where ad companies are forced to take photos the old way, with their HANDS (it's like a baby's toy) since AI can't generate smiling brazilians enjoying their products, and programmers are forced to use code assistance tools in a foreign language because their government shut them out of the new global sandbox

Someone here saw her pussy pic and said it was nice. Maybe Benji can help you with that.

That was me. Or well my friend did back in like 2017. In exchange for the video game "Nioh". I tried to go back through chatlogs but unfortunately the URL for the picture is dead now.

And yeah it looked alright. Surprisingly it was shaven and looked hygenic enough.

I see why ERA always recommends this. Why it is a "no brainer". Y'all are some freaks. I got me a cheap one off of temu and it was easy to install. Very convenient.

Know what else is convenient? A toilet literally licking your ass. That's EXACTLY what it feels like no joking. You just turn the knob and adjust the pressure. I was sitting on the toilet and I saw stars and stripes. I couldnt believe what was happening. It perfectly targeted my anus. I was... Uhhhh...Wtf...getting Aroused kinda?!?! What the hell!?

You mean to tell me y'all have been doing this all this time in other countries that have bidet as a standard? Holy shit. It's EXTREMELY stimulating. I now cannot wait till I have to poop again so I can get my ass splashed. What the fuck? I am contemplating just going to sit on the toilet for no reason. HUH??!

I've started using exfoliating serum and I cannot believe I didn't know about this sooner.

The "serum" in question.

Minimalist 10% AHA BHA Exfoliating Serum for Beginners

Dunno wtf any of that stuff means so I just copy and pasted it. I don't normally do skin care routines (just wake up and head out) but oh my good this stuff is so good. My skin on my face looks noticeably healthier instead of oily and rough feeling. It is now about as smooth as my silky smooth ass. Oh, and it is ODORLESS (which helps my sensitive nose) and glides on my face so easy. Skincare-ERA, why have you not been telling everyone else about this!!!!???? This is like a cheat code.

I've started taking care of myself lately and it is helping my mood a bit too 😊

******Ok so now I have a question: my face is smooth and not really lacking hydration, but if I wanted to use a ***NON SCENTED*** moisturizer to follow up with, what would you recommend? My nose is REALLY sensitive so I will be a snotty mess all day if it has even an ounce of an odor. I tried using cocoa butter lotion lol and that irritated my eyes and nose!! I tried using scentless lotion, and it still made my nose run and burns my eyes!!! 😭

These people are being trained to live like TERFs.

Nothing but 24/7 outrage exists, every waking moment is spent looking around themselves suspiciously for signs of woke indoctrination and infiltration.

Everything is woke because anything could be woke.

But white collar workers aren't working class if you're going by the basic theory, dummy. In fact, the entire existence of a middle class is the fatal flaw of your Marxist world view. It doesn't account for it. Marx contended it wouldn't exist, that the working class would increasingly expand in size. And the working class meant a specific thing: industrial laborers. Not service workers, not paper pushers, etc. Especially not people with mutual funds and state-provided luxuries.

And your attempt to expand the "working class" shows the ignorance of the post-Marxist view where you're keeping Marxism but trying to change definitions to maintain it. The American middle class is the largest property owning class and own the means of production. This is why the middle class is fatal to Marxist theory, they own property and they don't physically labor on machines to produce commodities. But they can't be "capitalists" because they aren't at the top of the pyramid and can't individually move in capital goods, even though they have political power too.

Marx was wrong, but rather than abandon him you're trying to insist he's right by making his claims meaningless. Who are the middle class supposed to violently overthrow and enslave? Themselves?

See, you’re acclimating to bore posting already.  Well done you.  Though I’m probably in the minority here, the first criticism of Morrigan is 100% valid.  Calling her gollum when she can’t control how she looks is a bit unfair.  She has plenty to criticize without attacking her looks.

Well.... somebody just recently made a joke saying they're "praying haribokart dies from his cancer". Something I wouldn't even dream of saying. I think I'm in the clear in terms of insensitivity

And I'm not just some meanie or some lookist person. I wouldn't even be making fun of Morrigan's looks if she weren't a man hating insufferable cunt who calls people incels and scumbags over liking sexy female characters. Just giving the same energy that she dishes out to others

Again, before Uncle and Benji get mad. I get you example, production wise is game changer and accelerates everything. I’m just lamenting that taking photos would be considered “the hard way”.
