    Something I've been starting to wonder has to do with Israel's possible nuke(s). I'm wondering if the reason why Biden keeps bowing to Israel is that Biden calls Netanyahu, tells him to stop or he'll restrict weapons, and then Netanyahu tells him that if Israel doesn't get US weapons, then they'll feel backed into a corner with no other options. Biden gets the implication and backs down. As such, if Israel does indeed have a nuke or nuke(s), they may not need the US to attack Iran's facilities, but are giving the US a chance to do it for them to avoid nuclear weapons coming into play.

    I hope I'm wrong. I'd honestly rather have a president who is spineless than a president who's being forced into a corner by a supposed ally because they're threatening to nuke everyone. The latter is extremely scary because it means that calling their bluff could end in a nuclear war.

    I mean, the plaque might still have an effect; it's possible that exposure to the viruses described in the article could lead to higher levels of amyloid beta plaque, or cause the plaque to be more harmful. Kinda like how a broken leg might be caused by a fall, but the actual problem wasn't the fall, it's the fact your leg is broken.

    If you want to copyright the prompt, go right ahead. As far as I'm concerned that's fair game; though I still think you're a dumbass for getting mad about it.

    As for the image? Fuck off. You can convince people that AI is capable of original works, or you can convince people that AI is nothing but a tool to remix and mashup other people's artwork.

    If you do the former, then the AI is the one that should receive copyright, not you. If the AI wants to then sell or transfer the copyright to you, then it's free to do that... Except AI can't hold copyright because there's no evidence that it is intelligent enough to do so.

    As for the latter? You'd better start going through your training set to make sure none of the trained images exist in the final image in a large enough capacity to be considered infringing. Otherwise, you may be liable for copyright infringement.

    Either way, go fuck yourself.

    I still can't believe that the Clinton administration thought that it was a good idea to resolve the suez canal crisis that way. And the ADA too... What the fuck? I'm so embarrassed to be an American.

    This guy is almost certainly a cross burner. The article seems like it's downplaying the fact that it wasn't the question "do you think discrimination exists in Idaho" that made him angry, it was this:

    “[J]ust because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Racism and discrimination are real issues here in Idaho, as anyone familiar with our state’s history knows,” the statement read. “I highlighted our weak hate crime laws and mentioned the presence of the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho as undeniable evidence of this reality.”

    He probably felt called out by the mention of the Aryan Nation groups. I can't imagine any other reason why he'd suddenly lose his shit unless he felt called out.

    Dunno if it's TES or Fallout that you're into, but if it's the former, check out the Beyond Skyrim project. It's extremely ambitious, but they're attempting to create the entirety of Tamriel as a series of Skyrim mods.

    “When you’re using a drag queen to recruit for the Navy, that’s not the people we want,” Cao said. “What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat ’em, and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women that are going to win wars.”

    Dude, you're talking about the Navy, lmao. I can't imagine any place in the Navy outside of the seals where you'd need or even want high-on-testosterone meat heads. Even then though, you severely underestimate a gay man's (or woman's) ability to be a 'roided-out meat head.

    Leading up to his death: ![](https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/605af664-d405-43fb-8ee7-950912dd58d3.png) ![](https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/f313c13e-6f59-427b-a288-8f927a2ff2bc.png) ----- For those of you outside of the community (and possibly wondering why the furry side of social media is on fire), Dragoneer did a hell of a lot for the furry community. FurAffinity is the largest furry art host and social network; he could have sold out and allowed AI, or made the site friendly to corporate advertising, but he didn't. He intentionally didn't. If he had, he probably would have been able to afford healthcare, but *he didn't*. He died because he wanted to keep the site in the community instead of *removed* it out to corporations, resulting in him not having the money for healthcare when he needed it the most. I wish I'd been more aware of what was going on because I would have chipped in to help (if he'd allowed it). It makes me fucking ***furious*** that the US, *the country with the highest GDP in the world* ***by 10 TRILLION DOLLARS***, still allows this to happen. RIP Dragoneer, we'll never forget you. Wherever you are, I hope it's filled with fur, feathers, scales and wagging tails. ----- Edit: made some formatting edits

    [Sauce](https://twitter.com/_Archesuchus_) Edit for people who are curious: it's not Photoshop, it's a [troodontid](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troodontidae) mask made by Archesuchus for their "Weird Birds" series. Here's what it looks like under [normal lighting conditions](https://x.com/_Archesuchus_/status/1759685028479402170). Not gonna lie, I really, *really* want one. But fursuit heads are expensive (I'm assuming the cost would be similar since that's basically what it is) and I don't have the skill or tools to make one myself. :c

    Description: A giant snake lady sits in a lake. A man stands next to the edge of the lake and asks, "O snake of the lake, what is your wisdom?" The snake replies, "Osamu Tezuka, the inventory of manga and anime, created old-school furry icons like Kimba and Bagi and had a secret collection of erotic furry art that he made which was only found after his death; so weebs are really just a human-focused offshoot of furries.

    Hey, are there any good thrift stores in Dallas/Plano area that tend to have stuff like instruments, electronics and/or tech equipment (ideally older stuff)? On a side note, is anyone familiar with [Liberty Tech Computer World](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Liberty+Tech+Computer+World,+315+S+International+Rd,+Garland,+TX+75042/@32.91077,-96.673361,16z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x864c1e0516911ee9:0x718d1fb60fcabae6!8m2!3d32.91077!4d-96.673361!16s%2Fg%2F126445vhk)? It's a warehouse in an industrial area in Garland, and I was hoping it might be a place like [Computer Reset](https://youtu.be/rvM82T3C2Ik) since it's (supposedly) in a big warehouse, however I've been unable to find any websites associated with it. I haven't tried calling yet, but I was curious if anyone else knew anything about it.
