Yeah, but you can imagine what it would be like if they were.

I hear what you’re saying, but let poetry be in poems and let direct truth be in headlines. I don’t see a reason to pretty up news.

For sure. I do understand how it was used, but it still sounds stupid. Just write, “Bruise appears on Trump’s other hand—speculations rise” or something to that effect.

Edit: I think in a world where people just read the headlines, and with many Americans reading at a low level, that people might take it more literally which I why I don’t like the headline as written.

I am commenting just because I take issue with the headline. The bruise did not spread to his other hand. He has a bruise on one hand and a separate bruise on another hand. There’s no spreading because that’s not how a bruise works. It’s not fucking contagious.

I totally get that.

Public districts around here pay more than private and charter. As I live in the Chicago area, I have a wealth of districts I can go to beyond CPS (Chicago Public Schools) because the burbs are so close.

Yes, pay is not great for all the things that teachers have to do and are responsible for, but I don’t care. My wife brings in the bacon these days anyway as she’s a tenured professor. I’ve dealt with corporate life for over 20 years, been through layoffs multiple times, tired of the stupid corporate lingo and being in marketing where I was basically a propagandist for brands, and I like having the same time off that my kid has.

I legit like Clancy’s brand of chips or cookies over the major brands for some reason. Their take and bake pizzas are huge for the price! I know my wife tends to save on some meats and things when she shops at Aldi. I’m a fan as well.

Mother fucker has never been in a school before teaching kids who snap them, bite erasers off, and sharpen them to make the world’s tiniest writing utensil ever.

It could be, too, that their stores are getting picked over for the things they want. Perhaps it’s out of stock the second it comes in because others are just buying it up right away.

I was in the midst of a career change that I instigated myself with the blessing and support of my wife. I was substitute teaching while trying to break into the tech field and found that I actually loved subbing! So much so that I am more than halfway done with a Master’s program for Elementary Education.

There is a teacher shortage and I’m male, which is an underrepresented statistic in Elementary Ed, so I’m pretty confident I’ll land something. I’m taking a pay cut, but I enjoy the teaching and the positives it brings to children’s lives to have a good role model and someone that cares about them while being excited to explore new information.

I use the Leaf, but yeah…same. So many free digital OTA channels.

Nah. Keep it and redecorate and/or repurpose it. Then rename it to something super woke. Spend as little money as possible since it’s probably coming from our tax dollars to do this shit every four fucking years.

Keep the ones happy who will enforce national gestapo and an at-home war on dissenters. That’s what this is. A bribe.

I’m admittedly ignorant of all of this, but I’ll post my thoughts anyway:

If the AI is trained on their voice and that AI is available to other studios (like leasing or buying it from the original company), the one time payment for that actor’s work is a very very shit deal. They’re out of a job in multiple places or for multiple works now since it can be reused for many things.

I doubt that the contract says it’s only used for that one singular project. Companies are sneaky. However, I have not read said contracts so it’s a magical guess on my part.

When Lemmy was in its infancy, there were beans. Now they’re back, and more magical than ever.

For a good time. For a good time, call!

🤣 It’s a pretty good episode of Justice League as well. Flash and Lex Luthor’s minds switch bodies.

Mmm, maybe. Affects also works as it means to influence. It’s subtle and context matters, but if AI is still changing things with their job then affects is the verb you want. If AI has changed their job and nothing further is happening then effect is the noun you want.

Technically, when you speed 1 mile an hour over the limit you have broken the law. It’s also a civil infraction, just like illegal immigration, in America.

I hope you never ever go over. We should send you straight to prison, no trial. You’re guilty, you law breaking fuckwad stain on society!

You’re ok with that scenario, right?

“IF YOU’RE NOT WITH ME, THEN YOU’RE MY ENEMY!”

Good on you, Mitch!
