You’d be surprised how little money it takes to influence a US politician

My friend has a cat named Dumb Bitch. She found her in the road after getting hit by a car. Apparently after the cat recovered and made her house it’s home, it ran out of a window and got hit by a car again. So she lovingly gave it that name after that

Used to speak the King’s En-ga-lish

But caught a rash on my lips, so now my chat just like dis

There’s a bay?!?!

Yes but also when people are telling someone they’re from New York they tend to assume the city, so the follow-up answer is for clarification. The state is big and wildly different from NYC

The best way I can describe the emotional difference is that Reznor’s version depicts ruinous destruction of a young person’s life, and Cash’s version depicts a lifetime of regret. Their literal ages obviously help convey it, but the arrangement and style really sell it

Bones in the Water by Battle of Mice. I’ve never heard that level of unhinged screaming in my life. Plus it’s creepy as fuck

That was me. My mistake.

I wonder if there’s been a follow-up since this article was posted

Chiming in that editing with proxies, while potentially cumbersome, is pretty standard. Feature films and TV shows are often edited in 720p for that exact reason. ProRes or h.264, depending on your needs and capabilities. Final renders are just a matter of turning the proxies off.

I dabbled in kdenlive for half a day while looking for something my nephew could use for a school project. Didn’t realize the lack of hardware acceleration until this thread. Still, it’s a great piece of software and I’m looking forward to watching it develop further

It really should be taken as way over the top, but with shit like this said all the time without an ounce of irony… It was impossible to tell

Which is why we have “infantry.” Soldiers who don’t speak and follow orders

Reporting on corruption, especially when fatal, needs to be repeated for as long as people are unaware.

I believe the first time I saw it, it didn’t have the dog, and the setup was racist.

Yes I meant unbiased, but I was unsure if even using that word would be taken the wrong way. I don’t want to be taken as a centrist or anything like that, because I’m not even close.

I just want a flat clinical review of what it says versus what it actually means without clickbait sensationalism. It is plainly bad, that much is obvious. But what are the real-life, bureaucratic implications of its potential execution?

Thanks for the link, I’ll definitely check it out.

Is there a neutral review of project 2025 that you can point to? That site is ass and either points to a book you can buy or a thousand links to PDFs.

TBH if people aren’t more well adjusted than they were at any point in their past I’d be mildly to greatly disappointed.

Yep the world is all kinds of fucked up haha. But you do what you can with what you’ve got I guess

Having grown up where David Duke also lives, ambiguously failing the paper bag test, and coming of age during 9/11, I encountered a wide variety of racial insults. Many of them involved the n-word.

The most memorable one for me happened after the orator learned that I was neither black, Arabic, Hispanic, Italian, nor Asian.

“Oh you’re Hawaiian? I heard you Island N-words don’t even sing the National Anthem.”

The other aggressors as well as my friends burst into laughter at how ridiculously stupid his statement sounded. Even his buddy was like, “Hawaii is a state you fucking idiot.”

The encounter ended and we all moved on but I still laugh when it pops into my head

I still use Instagram to keep up and chat with friends and Facebook only because my kid’s school only posts there
