Sometimes they flap their wings!

No, no. The one with the wild and wacky activities!

Sonic had some digital effects in the real world. This looks like they went all in on green screen digital effects. There is zero chance this one will change.

Did the same guy who wanted the ‘realistic Sonic’ look have input on this one as well?

There are plenty of drug dealers who keep their house and car in conditions from spotless to 30 minutes from clean like everyone else. There are plenty of non-drug dealers who have trashed homes and vehicles too.

You only notice the ones that are making poor choices or have some mental health issues. Sometimes they also sell drugs.

But I would love a TV that is smart enough to auto hide & mute every kind of ad. Even little logos on the athletes’ uniforms.

So, the best part about this example is that it is well intended but would have so many side effects it would be hilarious to see someone try to make it work. My assumption is that you want it to just have regular uniform colors where the ads are now.

The first assumption is that the team logo and colors aren’t advertising. They are! Yeah, they make bank on tickets, but the real money is in merchandising. Merchandising only works because the people associate it with the team, so team uniforms at their core are ads. They weren’t as much in the past when the majority of income was from tickets and concessions, but they are now. An easier version of this example is auto racing, where the car colors and entire paint job is an advertisement with a bunch of smaller ads plastered all over. Would the AI need to recolor all the cars to avoid color based advertising like bright yellow and black for DeWalt?

That also means that other media that exists to prop up sales in other areas are also ads. A lot of cartoons like Transformers, GI Joe, and My Little Pony existed as advertisements for the toys. The best way this gets convoluted is that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) was originally a comic book, which someone thought would be a great starting point for selling toys and to sell the toys they made a cartoon. But then they stopped selling the toys for a while, so the cartoon reruns weren’t really ads at that point in time the same way they were originally. So does the TMNT cartoon always count as an ad because of the intent at the time it was created, or is it only an ad while the thing it is advertising is being sold?

Then you get into the fake ads in movies for things that don’t exist. Are they ads? What about media where a real world thing is part of the plot, like how the military being in a movie is likely to be intended as an ad for the military?

I’m sure the idea is that the AI would know what the user means by ads, but the viewer will always be surprised when things they don’t realize are ads get blocked and it would have to adapt to each individual viewer. Even more fun when multiple people try to watch something and they aren’t on the same page about ads that impact the ability to watch!

I still love the post, but thinking how it could play out even if it worked is kind of funny.

It itches other times, but you are able to address it with a free hand and doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

Everyone does deserve to be treated with respect by default. Respect is earned, and is not the same thing.

Choosing to associate with certain groups is an action for which respect may be rescinded.

Hey EABOD25, what’s the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

Yelp, huge red flag.

I love the idea of a vampire having kitchen appliances for which they have no use just like regular people.

Yeah, tankie bullshit deserves to be heard because of an open mind, but not fascist bullshit.

Both are bullshit and should be blocked.

I don’t want to end up in a bubble and only hear opinions I already agree with. I think I did block one far right instance entirely, cause I don’t value the ideas of bigots and fascists.

Hmmmmm

Edit: Apparently tankie bullshit is fine!

I want to block the users as a group even if the instance at which I am registered does not defederate.

Lemmy.ml and hexbear were the first two I blocked and have zero regrets.

I blocked a few others because the content didn’t interest me and my preference is to browse on All instead of Subscribed so I can find content in communities I did not know existed. For example I blocked lemmynsfw because I didn’t want the content to come up while browing in public.

I wish there was an additional option to block all users of an instance separate from the instance block that applies to communities.

Dinosaur translates to “terrible lizard” so retaining outdated terminology is on brand.

Am American and welcome any kind of discussion. I don’t think any country or group should be immune from discussion, including criticism.

As with any country, we have plenty to criticize and we are large and influential enough that there should be plenty of discussion about the things we do. Especially our meddling across the globe.

Since Musk took over X, tons of accounts have been banned for speaking out against fascists. Looks like it is time for Musk to take the second option.

just a joke bro…unless?
