Come on, that's fucking stupid. You think Nazis are born that way? Of course people become Nazis, and it's happening more and more.

I took a similar class almost 20 years ago, and it unquestionably kept me from at least 2 serious accidents, and potentially saved my life. I cannot recommend them enough to new drivers, it's absolutely the most dangerous part of our daily lives.

And yeah, these mirror settings are the absolute best way to drive. It takes some getting used to, but there are absolutely no downsides to having a wider field of vision.

When adjusted like this, you can still easily see the side of your own car by moving your head slightly, which is trivial when backing up.

I learned about this in a driving class almost 20 years ago and never looked back (pun fully intended).

Well they did find Shmi, but by then she'd been freed and married to Cleig Lars. She did free a shitload of other slaves from Tatooine, but at that point there's no reason to steal Shmi away from a reasonable life.

They did write a book about her trying to do this - Queen's Shadow.

Which is entirely Disney's fault. Dinklage was complaining about the story being a backwards-ass story about a bunch of dwarves stuffed into a tiny house and obsessing over the first woman they see. His complaints had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with whether those dwarves were CG or played by LP. It's incredibly unlikely that Disney ever planned on hiring LP actors for the dwarves to begin with, but if they took the complete wrong point from Dinklage's criticism and changed direction over it, it's certainly not his fault.

You literally just rephrased exactly what they just said. Who do you think the 'third of us who learn and try to repeat it but better' was talking about?

[–] Blueberrydreamer@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 months ago

I do.

This looks like the best opening to a Star Wars show since the first Mando season, It's fucking great.

What 'good' was he actually trying to do? Padme was in no actual danger, he just had dreams about her dying. A desire to force someone to live beyond their natural life through any possible means and despite all negative consequences is not 'good'. There is no universe where murdering dozens of children is ok because he might be able to save his wife from something bad that might happen to her at some future point.

Having superpowers powered by emotion is dangerous, and the whole point of Jedi training is to understand and recognize your emotions, so that you don't allow intense emotions to control your actions.

Anakin did not learn those lessons. Ignoring emotion is the antithesis of Jedi teaching, the entire point is to learn how to deal with them in a healthy way.

I don't think you're on the right track here. There are definitely existing laws in most states regarding 'revenge porn', creating sexual media of minors, Photoshop porn, all kinds of things that are very similar to ai generated deep fakes. In some cases ai deepfakes fall under existing laws, but often they don't. Or, because of how the law is written, they exist in a legal grey area that will be argued in the courts for years.

Nowhere is anyone suggesting that making deepfakes should be prosecuted as rape, that's just complete nonsense. The question is, where do new laws need to be written, or laws need to be updated to make sure ai porn is treated the same as other forms of illegal use of someone's likeness to make porn.

We're talking about memory recall, not mind control. Memories are fundamentally unreliable and are very easy to influence, intentionally or not.
