Wow. Congress just tabled a bill that would *actually* kill open-source. This is easily the most aggressive legislative action on AI—and it was proposed by the GOP senator who slammed @finkd for Llama.

The answer is no. Unless you want a divorce or to be miserable. There are small differences that are fine but you're talking about major values and that's a big no no.

You can disagree on the best NFL team (Go Birds 🦅) but for fundamental things, you must be on the same page or, as you mentioned, there will be lots of fights and resentment in the future.

You can disagree on stuff like sports teams, restaurants, vacation locations. As soon as your disagreements reach "Human rights", then you're in a major issue. You will be with someone who believes some people are destined and deserve eternal punishment for the love they show being different. Take that how you will

I know it's stupid to seriouspost about this kind of stuff on rDrama, but frick...

Oddly, November Rain isn't one of those songs, I think it actually makes me feel a bit better. But this is about as far as I can go with any music that refers to romantic themes right now... it just hurts too much. At least November Rain has some machismo to it. I feel like if I put on any Leonard Cohen or somesuch right now I'd just feel psychologically destroyed, the remains of my holding myself together ripped apart like shittily made ropes on a ship in a tempest.

Weird how a relationship that lasted for many months can just kind of evaporate in one night. Although I suppose if it does, maybe it's because it was already evaporating.

I just started watching but it's obvious to anyone. I wasn't even trying to find faults. So for example on the boxart of the rerelease of moana 1 or in the actual movie she looks like this:

However in Moana 2 her hair looks like it hasn't been cleaned, less soft, her eyes are more far apart like half a centimeter like her voice actor actually looks.

I think she's actually fatter too but it's all so subtle. The funny part is this is obviously DEI, there's no reason to change the models of the characters so much. Almost all the characters look more realistic and less cartoony and cute. This is super strange as normally you'd want the models to be more consistent. Also everyone's hair has less pieces to it, seeming more clumpy, meaning less render time. She also radiates more girl boss energy and the expressions are less cute. So she just has that wierd/b-word intentionally cringe face in some scenes.

Movie is fine other than it pissing on my autism and noticing powers.

I've been browsing XiaoHongShu ever since the tiktok ban. If you don't know what XiaoHongShu (on the app store it is called Rednote) is it is basically the Chinese pinterest, if pinterest was more video oriented. Actual Chinese tiktok is only available for those with a Chinese phone number so a lot of american creators talked about going to XHS around the time of the Tiktok ban.

Its a pretty cool app, I was surprised that the algo would guide me to thick women so quickly considering that isn't in style in asia. But in my time on the app I came to notice that chinese people have some very thin skin and big egos about their nation, their national standing, and what is and isn't Chinese. Anyways here are some quick tips on how to troll em.

1. Talk about how great the game Astrobot is:

Recently Astrobot, a silly marioesque platformer, won game of the year over Black Myth Wukong, a game by Chinese devs that follows a classic Chinese story. This ENRAGED Chinese g*mers as Black Myth was super popular and had a real shot at getting China it's first game of the year, and to see it beat by this childish platformer where the main character rides a ps5 like a rocket ship was triggering . I think that all you have to say is something to the effect of "what do you guys think of Astrobot? I really like it" to get waves of chicom malding.

2. Say Lunar new year instead of Chinese new year:

Chang is very protective of things he thinks as Chinese, some other asian countries decided to call Chinese new year Lunar new year and now Chang wants to put the Chin back in Chinkmas. Chinese people also claim Kimchi, sushi, the color red, and if the pattern continues they are going to say that they invented the Nanking massacre. They claim that it is the Koreans that actually do this, and say that Koreans claim christmas as a Korean holiday. As far as I can tell they just completely made this up on their own.

3. Downplay the importance of China in history:

To no surprise to anyone, the middle kingdom acts like they are at the center of the universe. They are super protective of the idea that China was a super important part of the world, while this isn't wrong they are REALLY insecure about it and constantly make up attacks to react to.

Like "Westerners say that Rome conquered China!" uh... no?

"Westerners deny Chinese history!" No, what does happen is that historians don't take stories of ancient Chinese dynasties as fact when there is no physical evidence or contemporary accounts of these empires.

4. Perform horrific medical experiments on them as part of unit 731

Like a boss

It's almost like her and her husband pay for every accolade they've been given (2)

LOL if you actually think that, you've never listened to her music.There's a reason she was able to get amazing country artists on her album. (0)

Can't say I'm surprised as the Grammys aren't what they used to be, but I think Lainey should have won that category. Really anyone except Beyoncé. (7)

Lainey should have so won. Flipping ridiculous ! (1)

Basedness: 🔥🔘🔘🔘🔘

CC is a dissertation on the black roots of country/Americana music. You should be happy it won then… (1)

I said studying something and releasing what you think that genre is, doesn't make it an effective representation of that genre. So you claiming it's a "dissertation" doesn't mean anything. I'm not even sure what makes you say that. What elements of black country do you hear? When I listen, it sounds like a pop artists rendition of what they think country is…. Because that's what it literally is. It has more modern pop elements than it does country. (0)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡🔘🔘

My bad, I didn't realize you would take that to mean those two elements alone are pop. That isn't what I meant.Well no duh. I didn't say take Beyoncé out. I mentioned Miley because Miley's vocals sound country. She has a drawl and grit. Not saying you have to have those particular elements but there are clearly vocal differences from a pop singer and a country singer. If Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, or Lainey Wilson sang a song without a twangy guitar or overly hokey lyrics you will still recognize it as country. That was my point. If I took Beyoncé song with just Beyoncé and no twangy guitar or Miley Cyrus… it would just sound like one of her pop songs. I really don't want to harp you anymore but I can't just ignore this lol. Just as a twangy guitar doesn't make a song country I don't think corny country sounding lyrics make a song country. I don't think Lil Nas X singing about a a horse makes him a country singer lol. It's a great song and is fun. But, to me, it lacks any depth... (1)

beyoncé has more of a drawl than miley though, like her accent has always been very strong. and mentioning lil nas x in the same sentence as this is crazy lol. his was obviously putting on a costume whereas hers could literally be a dissertation about the roots of country music. obviously i'm not saying every single song on the record is country nor is she suddenly intentionally singing with a southern accent, but i think if you're gonna critique any song on the album for having "corny country" lyrics it shouldn't be this one. texas hold em is right there😭as far as the "costume" i just think that's disingenuous. nowhere has she said "hey everyone now i'm a country singer or country artist" but if she did, so what? genres shouldn't be gatekept. it limits innovation. modern country is borrowing SO many other elements of so many other genres but nobody gets mad about that. post malone is a rapper and people are saying he should've won over her, so why can't she win? she made a country ... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡🔘🔘🔘

I feel so bad for the artists. It's an insult to their craft. (2)

Angriness: 😡😡🔘🔘🔘

I mean there is definitely a vibe of her using country like a costume. Studying country aspects and incorporating it into an album doesn't make the album any better. No more than a country artist studying R&B and releasing some corny album with corny lyrics. Like "this ain't Texas, ain't no hold em"? Come on… and that was the most popular song on the album. Like what metric are we using to call this good? (1)

Chris Stapleton's biggest song is an interpolation of an R&B song you know shit about music. Don't you listen to different genres of music wtf is the big deal if anyone wants to make different genres of music (1)
