Disqualification seems appropriate. If it is against the rules to use AI photos in a normal photo category and the winner gets disqualified for that, which has happened, and it is against the rules to use a non-AI photo in this category, then the person should similarly be disqualified.

Not sure if the person behind this actually made the point they thought they were? Because it just shows that being consistent in rules and disqualification is good and the contest was consistent.

Oh no, is France going to go full fascist now too?

Elder said he and his team were prevented from delivering their aid shipment and forced to turn back that day.

"We spent about eight or nine hours at military checkpoints. In the end, our truck, despite all the approvals, was denied access and returned ... Yes, we will try again. Obviously, we'll try again. But this is consistent with the denials that we and many other agencies have experienced," Elder said.

Israel has previously said that it allows hundreds of trucks carrying aid to enter Gaza daily, and the Israeli government has blamed the U.N. for failing to distribute it.

Sounds like we can't trust the IDF's numbers on aid trucks being let in if they're counting ones they initially let in and then forced to leave at a later checkpoint.

I remember when Trump tried to claim credit for pharmacies putting price caps on a variety of medicines by a bill he passed, when that bill changed nothing because it was already a policy the pharmacies had enacted years prior.

Those of us who aren't being harassed and sent death threats by them can, sure. But that's kind of the problem.

I wonder how the four hostages feel that their rescue involved the murdering of dozens of women and children on the same day.

I would hope they have the empathy to feel guilty about that, but considering what the general Israeli poster (and Israeli population member, based on polls) is like, I doubt they view Palestinians as human.

And quite possibly killed three more hostages in the action. Hamas is claiming it and the IDF is denying it. But considering that the four hostages saved were being held in the same place as one of the higher ups, if the IDF has just been bombing every other family home of Hamas members (remember the Where's Daddy AI system?), then it seems quite likely they could kill hostages in the process.

Nice. Doctors are one of the groups of people in the best position to run for office, since they already make a good amount of money to keep themselves going in a political campaign. It's a lot more difficult for other professions to do the same without monetary backing.

The Gamergaters really wanted the game to get bad reviews so they could use it to fuel their self-victimhood.

Apparently terms that anyone over 12 years old doesn't find funny anymore count as "adult".

Is this conservatives admitting that they are all just immature children?

So, does that mean that AI photos have merit when they win photo competitions, as has happened in the past? Seems like the point he was trying to make would go both ways.

Seems like it. They just started bombing another designated safe zone, Al-Mawasi, a couple of hours ago.

The AI is named Lavender, right? I suppose they wouldn't have been using the Where's Daddy AI in this instance.

Not as useful now that so many of us who left Reddit deleted all of our comments on there. Broke a lot of those question and answer threads.

Unfortunately, true. There's a number of terrible pseudoscience pushers out there. But that's exactly why we need actual pro-science people in political office. We need more scientists in general who actually understand the fields in question, rather than just lawyers who frequently ignore what their scientific advisors are saying.

"Earshot found that with the minimum registered interval of 24 milliseconds, this tank would have to have been positioned just 13 metres away from the car. With the maximum interval of 40 milliseconds, the tank would have still been only 23 metres away from the car. This analysis suggests that the tank had to be positioned within close range (13–23 metres) of the car when it fired the shots that killed Layan. At such proximity, it is not plausible that the shooter could not have seen that the car was occupied by civilians, including children.

Earshot’s audio ballistic analysis supports the final words of Layan Hamada: the gunfire came from a tank that was next to them."

"Comparing the exit hole and varying levels of destruction helps reconstruct the cone of impact from the explosion, and in turn, reveals the direction from which the ambulance was shot (Figure 13). This direction is consistent with the location of Israeli tanks visible in satellite imagery from between 29 January and 8 February.

Our assessment of the position of the tanks at the time of the attack, together with the direction of the shot, suggests that the ambulance was likely hit by ammunition from an Israeli tank."

Craigslist has been spam for quite a while at this point. Even for me in my thirties, I don't know anyone who has used it legitimately for at least a decade.

Funny enough, one of the catalysts was Breitbart pushing it. Because they were trying to push that population segment right wing.

It's happening across the midwest as well. It's supposed to hit 102 on Monday in Nebraska.

Unfortunately because Gamergaters are still going around harassing women in gaming.

The issue will be if these temps become standard and consistent over a wider time period. For one, that could adversely affect crop growth and development.

My crosspost to gaming@beehaw.org doesn't seem to have any downvotes, so maybe there?

Edit: Do note that the other thread ended up locked because some Gamergate chuds did show up, but the mods did promptly deal with them.

The issue is that we already know he's full in on Israel. Not as a political thing, but because he truly does see Israelis as superior to Palestinians. He fully believes that Israel is allowed to do whatever it wants without repercussion.

And it doesn't seem to be a religious thing either on his part. It's some bizarre brainwashing from back in the day, as the article I linked discusses.
