I think it’s bad that ai allows people to pretend to live in completely separate realities so they don’t have to process news and events that make them uncomfortable. I think that is bad for the health of society!
Trump supporters are also making shitty AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani in the Oval Office.
They don't know how to process what just happened in real life, so they're making the version they prefer with AI.

The last Shooter genre game to outsell Call of Duty in the US market over a full year was Gears of War, in 2006. The last FPS to do so was Star Wars: Battlefront II a year prior.
A Call of Duty game has been the US market's best-seller in 13 of the past 16 years (GTAV, RDRII, Hogwarts Legacy).

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

This trifle at Woolworths is $46.
It is "14" servings.
I have my hand (my tiny hand btw, I have small hands - fat but small) next to it so you can see how ridiculously small it is.

Outbreak with friends is so good. I don’t need a new outbreak but a legal functional way to play the original ones would be fantastic.
If there's enough demand from players for a new Outbreak, then maybe Capcom would consider it

This is grimly amusing. Bishop couldn't fulfil a campaign promise because of Simeon Brown's footpath fatwa, so he had to raid a Kāinga Ora fund. Maybe running transport policy as a culture war was a stupid and destructive thing to do in the first place, eh.

Officials were against the move and Labour say he shouldn’t have been anywhere near the decision.
