It seems the AI is actively getting less intelligent. It is that time of year again, so I am once again comparing my shitty photoshop skills to AI "art"

I asked it for the head of Garrosh Hellscream, and, instead, it gave me the head of... Zelinsky...?

It been about a year, so it is once again time to compare my shitty photoshop skills to advances made over the last year to AI art.

Same prompt as last year:

My Shitty photoshop skills:

The AI is getting a bit better, but mine is still far superior.

Tell her to calm down. Then point out that she may be unknowingly acting like your ex.

And then, just because you want to be considerate, ask her if she may be on her period.

Any tips that actually work?

@Rawmilkchad @ThomBrady5 Don’t forget that Civil Rights meant lowering the threshold for ‘Mental Retardation’ by 1 standard deviation.

Why?

Integrated schools suddenly found themselves with huge numbers of Retards and they were all Black.

@WagieCapital This is why if you sell puts, you always buy longer term, deeper OTM puts.

It may cap your income, but it prevents this sort of thing from destroying you.

84 years ago today, a pilot running out of fuel made a decision that won the Pacific War. Most Americans have never heard his name.

June 4, 1942. Six months after Pearl Harbor, Japan's navy is undefeated. Four of the carriers that burned Pearl, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu, are steaming toward Midway to finish off the US Pacific Fleet.

At 7:52 AM, Wade McClusky launches from USS Enterprise leading 32 Dauntless dive bombers. Here's the detail nobody mentions: McClusky is a fighter pilot. He'd been given the air group weeks earlier and had barely flown a dive bomber in combat. Now he's leading every SBD the Enterprise has at the most important target in the Pacific.

9:20 AM. He arrives at the intercept point where the Japanese fleet is supposed to be.

Empty ocean. Nothing for miles.

The Japanese had turned. Nobody knew where. And now McClusky owns the worst math problem in naval aviation: his fuel is bleeding away, and every minute he keeps searching, he condemns more of his own pilots to ditch in open water where nobody will find them.

Doctrine is clear. Turn back.

McClusky keeps going. He works a search pattern, squeezing miles out of dying fuel tanks.

9:55 AM. Far below, a single Japanese destroyer is cutting a white scar across the ocean at flank speed. It's the Arashi, racing to rejoin the fleet after depth-charging the American submarine Nautilus. Think about that. A failed sub attack is about to give away the entire Japanese navy.

McClusky reads the wake like an arrow and follows it.

10:02 AM. The horizon fills with the entire Japanese strike force. Four carriers, their decks crammed with planes being refueled and rearmed. Fuel lines snaking everywhere. Bombs stacked in the open.

And here's the miracle: the sky above them is empty. Minutes earlier, American torpedo squadrons had attacked at sea level and been annihilated. Torpedo 8 lost all 15 planes. One survivor, Ensign George Gay, watched what came next while hiding under his seat cushion in the water. Those doomed pilots dragged every Japanese fighter down to the waves. The door upstairs was wide open.

10:22 AM. McClusky pushes over from 14,500 feet. Both squadrons follow him down onto Kaga. It's actually a mistake, doctrine said split the targets, but Lt. Dick Best catches it mid-dive, pulls out with two wingmen, and goes after Akagi alone. His single bomb pierces the flight deck into the packed hangar. It's enough.

By 10:28, Kaga, Akagi, and Soryu, the third hit simultaneously by Yorktown's bombers, are floating infernos. Six minutes. Three carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor, gone. Hiryu follows them to the bottom that evening.

The cost of McClusky's gamble was real. Many Enterprise bombers never made it home, some shot down, others swallowed by the sea when their tanks ran dry. McClusky himself was jumped by two Zeros on the way out, took five bullets through his shoulder, and still flew his shot-up Dauntless back to the Enterprise.

Admiral Nimitz said McClusky's decision "decided the fate of our carrier task force and our forces at Midway." Japan never won another major battle.

One borrowed pilot. One destroyer's wake. One choice to keep flying when every gauge said go home.

@LearnToToad No, that's retarded. She's the only Republican who can win in Maine.

It'd be similarly retarded to how the Dems kicked out Joe Manchin in West Virginia when he was the only one who could win there, because he didn't vote like a Dem from California.

[Grob 2.0 @Grob2point0]

I definitely agree there is a line that needs to be toed between wanting to help and not affirming that or any other sin,

That being said, there is also a difference between telling one's child that their behavior is wrong/that you don't endorse it, and, like, immediately disowning or kicking them out and making them homeless, or telling your child that they're dead to you, or even becoming physically violent with them over such a thing.

And, this is just from personal experience, but I've talked to a fair amount of people who end up identifying in one of those ways, who've had such experiences, and after having such an experience, it becomes an extremely difficult task to get such a person to ever even consider setting foot in a church, ever again. It's at the very least, extremely counter productive.

There is a degree of truth to this comic that, unfortunately, people on my side of the isle seem be incapable of acknowledging.

Which is even more unfortunate because I know they recognize the same exact phenomenon when it relates to commie fäggots pushing people to the right.

@DeTocqueville14 While it is true that he spent a whole lot of time telling people he would, under no circumstances, kill himself, at the same time, if there is one person in the world who would do that knowing that, when he does kill himself, it would fuck with everyone, it would be John McAfee.

Very right wing, very in support of AI

Last night, I was hungry late in the evening so I decided to order a burger from a local fast food joint. A rather simple things, 2 patties, no additions that could confuse the teen potheads who work there, and, low and behold, when I get my food delivered, I discover, after having paid for the larger, 2 patty burger, I was provided only with the smaller and cheaper 1 patty version.

So yes, I cannot wait for AI to start taking the jobs of these fucking druggie losers, because then they might finally get my fucking orders right.

Assume Pratt's support in that precinct = 1%.

Odds of going Z ballots with no Pratt vote:

Z =
1: 99%
2: 99%^2 = 98.01%
3: 99%^3 = 97.03%
4: 99%^4 = 96.05%
.
.
.
24,000: 99%^24,000 = 1.75659 × 10⁻¹⁰⁵

= .[105 zeros followed by] 17%

@DorseyGhost @AmericanReform_ @michaeljknowles When someone randomly brings up Jews in a discussion that has nothing to do with Jews, it's safe to assume that person has an obsession with Jews.

And I say this as someone who very much hates the Talmud, but you need to go outside.
