  • The only way to exit the USA as a state is revolutionary war and winning that war. for CA that would require all the military bases in CA to outnumber the rest of the country AND for all the personnel on those bases to side with and fight with CA or for some other military force to capture all those bases, than bases all over the US, at that point, winning the war would be totally destroying the US government and military, meaning CA would then become the ruling body of the USA, so the necessary methods won’t really meet the desired outcome, you can’t stop being a state, we fought a whole war about this, you can only exit with war, and winning means becoming the governing body of the US, so if CA really wants to leave, it’s gonna cost a lot of money and lives and it’s never going to work out the way you want it to.





  • it has all the markers, unless the corporations drastically restructure their debt or the product suddenly finds an actual demonstrable use, then it’s going to continue being a bubble. all that requires for it to burst is a large swath of people vested in the bubble to get itchy enough to pull enough money out for the value to be questioned or need to be proved, and AI currently is wildly expensive incuring huge amounts of debt, which is being passed around in a very quick and difficult to account for manner, and has no proven value that can be demonstrated as of yet. to be clear, by demonstrated value I mean you can pull out the paperwork and show where is currently profitable. so here’s the ad revenue, or here’s the government contracts, here the subscription payments, something. they are all operating at a loss and betting their entire companies that those avenues will be profitable eventually, but they aren’t currently and that’s with a VERY heavy hand on the scale, we already have the cost of data center power and water being charged to average people, total failure in providing value to military and police efforts, and people rejecting AI content as acceptable entertainment, it’s all a bust no matter how much they insist, and the application as a digital creative tool is unlikely, it’s jarring and can’t be consistent from one shot to the next causing the exact problems you train to avoid in serial art and animation. digital creative tools generally require a large effort and testing from actual artists in development to be even marginally useful in a production pipeline and AI tried to be useful without any input also with the hope it could simply bypass the people who do the creating, the problem is, it can’t, it can only look at what it sees, fail to identify basic fundamental art principals, and try and remix the art it can look at. look at any AI attempt to recreate cubism, it can’t, it’s totally confused by the concept of incorporating movement and primitive shapes into complex work.




  • why would vaccines reduce life expectancy?

    Edit: googled that negative efficacy in vaccines for you, apparently is all deeply misleading reports that ignore all the confounding data that also effects infection rates and the nature of vaccine administration, like people getting the vaccine the same day they are in the hospital with the infection are marked as ‘vaccinated’ in the data even thought that’s incredibly misleading to think they got infective while vaccinated, but I’m guessing these procedures were established before people with no medical education or experience were trying to process all this data to support their already arrived at conclusions. Also infection rates aren’t the entire point of vaccines nor have they ever been, we’ve known all along that getting a vaccine can give you symptoms if the illness they innoculate you for, and that you can get a milder version of the illness, it was never a prefect drug ment to fully prevent an illness, that data clearly shows vaccines reduce infection rate, and also reduce symptoms of you do get the illness, and reduce your ability to spread the illness and the strength of the illness you spread, there’s a lot of reasons vaccines are effective not just one, and vaccines can’t stop you from behaving in ways that can get you infected like ignoring safety steps, social distancing, masking, and all that. yes getting vaccinating, then walking around with no mask or pulling it down below your nose like a jackass is going to lead to infection just like not getting a vaccine. why when it comes to Covid everyone decided vaccines were supposed to be a magic cure? no vaccine has ever worked that way and no one claimed they could.






  • maybe it’s time to Crack open that old dictionary there chief. see what the words your mad about mean. because I have a whole ass art degree and you couldn’t possible be more wrong. your take is based on nothing but pure unadulterated ignorance. art is NOT entertainment, it’s expression, and the most significant art is history is about terrible things that happened to help you feel terrible about it. from Jesus being tortured to death by Roman soldiers to the Nazi war machine being tested on rural Spain for no reason in particular, art is very much allowed to be about suffering, politics, protest, and criticism of horrifying acts. stop being proud that your ignorant, learn something, or if you REALLY INSIST on being this ignorant on purpose, STOP TAKING ABOUT THE SHIT YOU CLAIM YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT
