My problem is I LOVE cars. I didn't realize this was c/fuckcars when I posted. Woops. Legitimately, I understand the consternation at huuuuuge SUVs and trucks like this. I drive to work (and I love it) - but the truck/suv to car ratio on the road is like 10:1. In the middle of the city... it's fucking stupid - and I look inside the vehicles. Always driven by a single person with no cargo. Ideally, I want a 1-person, 1-seater car. I want the stability of 4 wheels, the cage for protection/air conditioning, etc and nothing beyond that.

I want a japanese kei car. They make the mazda look like it's a monster truck. Something like the Daihatsu Copen.

Joke's on you, I was already stupid to begin with.

I'm starting to have a sneaking suspicion that putting 24G of VRAM on a card isn't happening because they don't want people using AI models locally. The moment you can expect the modern gamers computer to have that kind of local computing power - is the moment they stop getting to slurp up all of your data.

If JEJ granted voice rights, then that's peachy. Nobody owes someone else that job. Sounds like JEJ locked it down.

The idea that actors are required to be hired is kind of nonsense. Every industry has had to deal with less people required to produce the same amount of output. At this point, JEJ voice of Darth Vader IS Darth Vader. I can understand the studio wanting to retain that. Replacing voice actors is often jarring for the viewer.

Did they train something on an actors voice, or use the actors voice recordings without contractual permission?

OR:

Did they use an AI voice and some filters to make the character talk without hiring an actor?

Because if it's the second, who cares? If it's the first, they should be raked over the coals.

Did bush actually have time for what's claimed here? He was mostly about removing rights from Americans in the face of a sham war. I don't think he actually had much focus on tax breaks for rich people...

Obama continued that ritual, removing even more rights from the American people under the guise of "safety". And Obama could have shoved Universal healthcare through but didn't - he watered it down in the name of "bipartisanship", but then ultimately nobody voted for the bill on the right anyways. If that were going to be the case, he should have just rammed through what the American people NEEDED; but he didn't -- because he wanted MORE MONEY FOR RICH PEOPLE (insurance companies)

Hell, Obama bombed more brown people than any president before him as well...let's not pretend he was an angel.

Whatever you do, steer clear of meetup.com - all of their social activities on there now are scientologists thinly veiling their seminars as get-togethers.

The crayons are mine. They sustain me.

My brother is one of these idiots, I dunno how they got him. He's not part of the militia group but dipshit thinks a local radio tower that just went up is part of the weather control system...

I've never met a person in my life who thinks lizards are disgusting. They need to eat bugs constantly, which makes them better than spiders - some of which can go a year without eating - and they're cute with their little mating rituals. Geckos too.
