Maybe if someone enlisted long enough to get the GI bill for education and used it things would be different, but if one only does short military time and leaves with no further self-improvement the odds of being better off financially probably aren’t great.

Fuck this.

Meanwhile they busily edit anything a Democrat says to indicate something other than what the context of the statement was.

Yet another beautiful story about how a young person has to sell their youth in order to afford medical care in America.

Deeply /s

TIL hebophile and ephebophile, two words I didn’t want to know existed.

Trump wasn’t a client. He was a partner.

AI making up stupid, factually incorrect, or absurd responses: Ignore those issues. Copy/paste as a source without checking. More AI!

AI making factually correct but inconvenient responses: Let’s put lots of effort into making sure that doesn’t happen.

That’s not how that works. There are no separate residential lines for police.

The rest, that’s not how that works, either.

This right here. BofA made over a billion in overdraft/NSF fees. Keeping poor people poor.

It’s pretty much a street with a bunch of expensive trendy outlet shops on it. Like UniQlo, Gucci, Breitling, or whatever. Same trendy shit that’s always grouped together.

Run all the samples through a computer, write a prompt telling it to create music in the style of (x), and keep tweaking the prompt to reiterate the result until something desirable emerges. No skill or understanding of music required, just keep hitting “generate” or whatever until something gets spit out that sounds good.

Vs

Thousands of hours of music making experience, understanding of musical styles, lyric arrangement, composition, heck…even music theory and the ability to read and write musical notes…and take all of that and make something original that, with permission of the original artist, uses modified clips of others’ tracks.

Sampling isn’t the defining difference.

Probably saw it in some passing meme while he endlessly scrolls Twitter and Truth Social between golf and Mar a Lago.

Maybe that was the plan. Get a bunch of pissed off voters to elect dems in various places, then wait a couple days to “fuck over” everyone after the seats had been won and vote for the republican legislation.

That sucks.

I left myself after being shouted down over criticizing a game for restricting player kits. The game was more fun without the restrictions, but fuck me for wanting more freedom in player classes.

And the mom/fam was able to call from overseas to local PD, and leave various messages with friends or neighbors to check on Kevin.

The lines weren’t down. If local lines are non-functioning, all phone traffic is inoperative regardless if it’s long distance or not. Kevin also called for Pizza and the police himself.

Let’s face it, the phone is a plot hole.

Yeah, I do. An institutionalized and systemic prejudicial harassment of a population is not genocide. I suggest you stop using that word seeing as you clearly don’t know what it means.

Ah, so you’re saying that between the initial attack but before Israel’s genocide you get to infer today Bernie supported genocide before the genocide occurred, yet ignore the context where he clearly denounced it after it was occurring? You’re full of crap, dude.

Don’t take it out of context and make shit up.

"Israel, like any other country, has the right to defend itself from terrorism but not the right to wage all-out war against the Palestinian people.”

r/gaming is shit. Bunch of sycophants all soft criticizing games like a review magazine afraid of offending the makers while talking about their playthrough. Go figure. Heaven help you if you have an actual opinion outside of the box, or don’t know some bit of terminology or lore about a game that is “common knowledge”.

There’s no difference between those lines at the local level. The only long distance lines would be the oceanic ones.

E: does nobody know how old lines worked? I can’t believe the number of people trying to force some twist to make their version work. The phone repair guy was right there on the residential street. If local lines were down, no in/out calls would work, yet Kevin ordered pizza and called the cops locally. It’s a huge leap to assume that this area would have had a side junction to separate international calls to a different system. Extremely unlikely, and that would probably be a feature reserved for businesses that needed to make such calls regularly. Old lines just weren’t run for international like that on analog runs for regular homes. His family were able to call friends and neighbors from overseas to see if they were home. So those lines weren’t down even if for some bizarre reason they were separate.

It’s just a plot hole. NBD. Enjoy the movie.

E2: digging around on the internet people have pointed out the plot hole. The only scenario where it would work is full of “ifs” that allow international calls in through a separate system, but nonetheless, it would basically only have to affect that one house getting perfectly hit to knock out international but not local by the tree branch yet nearby neighbors get calls on their answering machines from overseas.

I’m not pursuing this further, lol. It’s just entertainment. I’m not going to ruin the fun with over-analysis and bickering over “but if…”
