at a local shop

I’ve never even heard of Halti, let alone seen one in a store.

Around these parts, if you want a blank running shoe, you pay $20 at the local superstore then $200 at the doctor’s office, a few times a year each.

There are actually quite a few “Hollywood” unions, but unionization rates have fallen dramatically over the past few decades.

like fleeing Somalia, many others did the same.

Those with the ability and money can leave, but some don’t have these things. So what about them? Does that make them evil?

I don’t care if there is a minority of decent southerners, just like I don’t care if there were decent officers in the wehrmacht

Because a fisherman who happens to live where they were born, is the same as soldier who chose to join an army with very explicit political goals.

Nonsense.

A geographical region is not uniform in it’s beliefs. You can dislike an area without claiming everyone who lives there is evil.

It is idiotic (and fascistic) to say that the ENTIRE population of an ENTIRE geographic region are ALL demons. It’s simply not true.

If you grew up in the south, you are literally self-deprecating by saying such things.

Yes, make it digital and public so it can be easily hacked, infiltrated, seized, and deleted.

Brilliant.

couldnt stomach a fight against dirt poor cavemen

And yet, you think you haven’t succumbed to American brainrot.

Gooning to a theoretical war is wild.

No, but they originated from the South.

FFS, how do you think Jim Crow ended?

If Southern anti-segregationists and civil rights groups had not stood firm against discrimination, Jim Crow would have never ended.

“Southerners” is not a synonym for ex-slaveowners and segregationists. Denigrating the entirety of the South for the actions of a few is gross.

Also, your remarks have lead me to believe that you seem to think racism simply never existed in the North, which is just an entirely laughable concept.

Some of the most violent resistance to the civil rights movement, was in Chicago, a lovely Midwestern town as you might put it.

Of course.

And the IMF is a purely impartial institution and would never favor western countries in it’s calculations.

/s

And drone operators need to constantly move anyway.

It’s probably not required if not using RF.

Do you think that there is a dire shortage of tools for murder, and only the modern defense industry is sustaining the strained supply?

Israel, Russia, and Ukraine sure seem to think so. None are producing enough munitions domestically to satisfy themselves.

Less weapons made still means less weapon used.

Someone saying whatever heinous shit they want using your voice seems a bit unethical, as does getting paid pennies for it.

OK, I guess we should stop harvesting wheat and making flour because it could possibly be used to support a genocide, but don’t even bother thinking about stopping the manufacture of the bombs being dropped.

If less people worked to make weapons, there would be less weapons made.

How is this a hard concept to understand?

Yeah, except royalties in music are almost always a joke. Those artists are going to make much less off their AI voice than if they actually appeared in studio and the end product is going to be worse. If AI cost the same or more, there would be no market for it. Relevant story about Hollywood actors who sold AI likenesses.

Even if it was actually “ethically trained”, the end result is still horrible.

Also, paying to have an AI Snoop Dogg in your song is the lamest shit I’ve ever heard.

brb, gonna run a marathon in a pair of Oxfords

Sure, but good luck finding a decent quality running shoe without conspicuous branding at a local shop though.

Can’t wear it, if they don’t make it.

So, would you then say “we can’t get more than what Kamala wants if we can’t even get what Kamala wants”?

No.

Why would an arms dealer limit themselves to just one side?

Apparently, they believe that sitting silently while waving tiny signs sent a stronger message.

Truly the greatest minds of our time.

EDIT: PINK! They also wore pink! I almost forgot! Just like everyone else.
