#UkrainianView That was one of the biggest bookstores in Kyiv. It stood there since my childhood. It pre-dated internet and first VHS cassetes. Recently russia has been attacking publishing houses and book stores intensely. These count as military objects only if russia sees books as a threat.

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

Zero surprise that these are explicitly designed to cause pain without leaving a mark, not to incapacitate. Yes, we're spending $20M to buy ICE agents torture devices.

I genuinely think a lot of people hear this at work genuinely don't realize most custom models are largely built on top of a base model because no one artist or studio has nearly enough data like REMOTELY enough data. You train like a LORA or something you put on top of the base model.

I just want to mention: Even if your AI somehow runs locally and you think it's okay, it's still using trained data from a pre-existing dataset which is still full of stolen work. The sheer amount of data gen AI needs is in the hundreds of thousands, you can only get that by scraping

people don't do it as often anymore but i'm ngl i still get slightly insulted by the fact that people will leave comments like "bro is turning into siivagunner" as if music hq rips bait and switches can't also be done by independent rippers. really drives me up the wall because ppl do think this way

Nurse Soad and her child Omar are the only survivors of the genocidal war Soad lost her family and her home but she did not give up on helping people She still volunteers to treat patients Today she needs our help for her child Omar, who is suffering from malnutrition donation👇🏿 tinyurl.com/4rdnwyzx

My soul is breaking! Gaza is stealing my son Elias's eyes. Darkness is swallowing his gentle vision, and time has run out. Without immediate surgery, he will be blind forever. I am begging on my knees—save my boy's sight before night claims him! Verified : molly shah✅ chuffed.org/project/1624...

Elias when he was very young, sleeping on a hospital bed with his mouth open while a doctor is controlling his vitals with their hand on his left arm.

around yesterday i have set up a stripe acc (though i had an existing acc under bandcamp) and have submitted my information and the such to be verified. idk how to add paypal to my payment links or invoices though so i think most of my clients will need to pay me with their bank cards

update: rookie mistake but i made the account when i was underaged (mismatched profile dates). honestly a well-deserved suspension because i genuinely forgot it is still a shame but at least i am getting my money back in 6 months. i'll set up a new paypal account some time soon
