  • Now, to any person who has ever seen an AI image or indeed seen anything in the real world, you’d think it would be obvious that these are fake images. … And yet, other each of this images there are hundreds, sometimes thousands of positive comments. …

    So braindead and stereotypical are these comments that you might think they are themselves AI generated. But, picking a few at random, I checked out their profiles and they seem genuine. … They did also all seem to be active churchgoers but that must be some kind of coincidence…

    Shots fired.





  • I was in the market for a new keyboard recently, and came down to either a Redragon or a HyperX, and I ended up going with the latter just because it was on sale. I’m happy with the HyperX, but I think either would have been just as good for me.

    Very similar details to what you wrote here – they have their own switches, feels nice, inexpensive, RGB… I got black “pudding” key caps to replace the stock ones, but there are plenty of pink options too.

    Only thing I don’t think works for OP is that I don’t see any HyperX keyboards with a white base, only black. Redragon has at least a few white base keyboards, though.

    You’re stuck in the “defensive driving” mindset – You gotta go offensive to keep safe. The Chevy Stretch offers significantly greater total mass than even large trucks, and a lower center of gravity. Now you’ll be the one crossing the center line, striking fear into the hearts of the sensible!

    Nice. Congrats! Similar take here – my fiancee and I recently found a vintage setting acquired from an estate sale, plus a stone of her choosing (Labradorite), at a local family-owned jeweler. We ended up with a much more substantial and unique piece, spent way less money, limited our involvement in a predatory trade, and we’re gonna put that savings toward a nice experience together.

    Google “metal movie poster (title-of-movie-here)” and you’ll find a bunch of online stores that sell images printed on some kind of metal, often with a graphic border for “a distressed/vintage look.”

    I’m fairly certain these are the result of some script that grabs popular images, adds the border, and creates the listing. Also, the border probably helps them evade some reverse-image-searches performed by the actual artists/copyright holders.
