Yeah, they're right. The Iranian government is by no means benevolent, but the US and Israeli governments are just straight-up murderers, no nuance to be had.
Those Lego hands need to be smaller.
They aren't wrong.
America really seems evil these days. Not even just on a political level.
Almost everyone I know is basically like a fentanyl zombie from consuming American culture. Zero critical thinking... Barely thinking.... Just consuming... Just following the thought plan to become another canabilistic crab in a barrel and claiming it's an authentic and genuine human experience. Pawns growing this monster bigger.
And it's spreading to other nations.
America is the abuser in life that you cut ties with and never see again. ...if you can even get away.
I find America today to be very relevant to the whole problem surrounding the Ring from LOTR.
The Ring gives a very particular variant of superpower. While it does enhance what you already have, it also gives you power over others. It's a very useful power - rather than convince someone to do what you want, you can use the Ring to make them do it. And they'll love it! This power is so useful, in fact, that it's hard to give up. Someone else could use it for evil, so you obviously need to keep the Ring on your finger, right? Only YOU know how to fix the country, because everyone else would be a moron or evil otherwise.
If the Ring existed in real life, someone could use it to raise an army, overthrow Citizens United, and institute true democracy. Or a dictatorship, because idiots caused Citizens United to be formed in the first place, and they can't be allowed to do that again. Right?
Trump looks like a Ringbearer who let the power go to his head. And the lesser Rings are held by the people in Congress and the SCOTUS.
I mean, Trump is known for a love of gold objects, maybe he bought some old antique ring at some point? And it is a miracle that he's lived for long as he has, considering his diet and lifestyle...
Well he sure looks like fucking Gollum, so...
[REDACTED] is Golum now in my head and there is no way back. He's a murderous weasel that should have stayed in a cave.
"We forgot the taste of bread, the sound of the trees, the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name.Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Donald J Trump, President of the United States of America"
I teach in high school and most students are amazed at how bad living in the US looks from the outside.
Student debt, medical debt, car-centric city planning etc etc
Being aware of all of this, and watching it all happen in real time, is a fucking curse
Seems? These days? Was it ever not? Not in my lifetime at least
the video:
I'm not sure when exactly it was generated, but they missed out on having Trump in his baseball hat for the receiving of remains.
Yeah.
I don't really know much about producing AI video but I do know that with generative AI complex scenes or layouts can be extraordinarily difficult to achieve.
Like you can do "soldiers carrying a coffin with a flag on it" and you can do "trump standing in a baseball cap" but putting the two together with trump in the background can be very difficult.
You just edit the AI video. You don't need an AI to do the editing.
Thanks, those ads in OPs post were ridiculous.
I actually couldn't see the video in the linked article. Maybe my ad blocker got it.
Halfway through and I was already at 3 ads. I use firefox and unlock origin. 🤷🏼
the Way
I do as well and no ads in the video. Weird!
Got a link on a service that everyone can view?
No, do you?
Begun the meme wars have.
the slop-war I
Best use of generative Ai so far.
I mean, blow up a school full of kids and you deserve it.
I think Lego will sue Iran soon.
