Yes, but thanks to the electoral college it doesn't mean much. State hasn't gone red since 88, and we're on the higher side of population:EC ratio.
Depends on how much fuckery my state will undergo.
Who was buddies with Epstein? Not Biden.
dude has more pictures with Epstein than I have with my brother
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York Magazine that year for a story headlined “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery.” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
c/conservative over there making fun of beta males in an ad.
The alphas:
Does anyone actually care if they are called a "beta male"? It's such an incel insult... And it's used by very prominent Republicans on TV.
It's kind of hilarious. Like, tell me your an incel without telling me you're an incell, Republicans.
And a lot of the people they call 'beta males' are probably having a more active sex life than they are. I'm as unmanly as you get- I don't like sports, I'm not into action movies or guns or knives or anything related to those things, people being loud and raucous make me highly anxious, I'm into all sorts of esoteric stuff when it comes to music and TV and film, I love nerd discussions and I cry when I'm sad. I may possibly even "cry liberal tears" in their worldview.
And yet I've also been happily married for over 24 years.
So I guess I'm cool with being a beta male.
Edit: I forgot to add that I don't like beer in my list of 'ways I'm a beta male.'

Conservatism is a mental disease.
More projection. Better hide his tag.
Someone hates the bureau of land management.
And garden tools. Seems like they just hate land in all forms.
Really into this, but is the license plate bluriness due to JPEG compression or AI? Genuine question
On another post where a web comic showed similar artifacts, I also asked the same question - and concluded that the comic's resolution was "enhanced", either by the phone itself (when they saved it from their source) or by a (re)poster. So I think that here it's the same thing - AI """enhancement""".
Is this an Android thing?
Context: Am iOS user taking photos in RAW and sometimes ProRes
Edit: Maybe instead of downvoting you could explain how wrong I am. I’ve never seen this outside AI so I’m genuinely asking where these photos are coming from.
That doesn't make sense, RAW is a file format and has nothing to do with AI enhancement. Also, RAW files are not uploadable to websites (they are, but they would look shitty), RAW is a file format that allows a greater range of adjustments at a later point for professionals (like using Lightroom).
ProRes is apparently (I googled it) a VIDEO format.
There might be phones that have shitty AI resolution enhancement built into their camera app, but most likely that's not the case here. This image just went through an AI upscaler, which is a website or an app that works on Android and iOS, but it has nothing to do with the vendor
From what I recall, Apple has a "pseudo" RAW format called ProRAW that isn't really RAW but just has less processing.

Compression. I saw very similar "smoothing" on a zoomed in photo I took recently at home as the city sign in the background shows.
Edit: these are a bunch of turkeys that were about 50 feet away but once I zoomed into the picture the texture seemed really off.

It's kind of both. A lot of modern Samsung phones do this really weird "AI Enhancement" shit to improve the look of zoomed in shots. I remember testing it out at Best Buy, taking pictures of some Blu-rays on the other side of the store with the 20x zoom option. The original photo was pretty much what you'd expect, it looked like a low-res super cropped pic, but then it applied the "AI Enhancement" and did it's best to fill in the text and price labels, and wound up looking exactly like a bunch of garbled AI text.
Yeah let's ignore the fact the other guy is a rapist and wanted to fuck his daughter
And was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein!

I really think its great how stupid people these days advertise the fact so you know to avoid them.
From a purely practical perspective, why would you want to reduce your back window visibility in such a way anyways?

Seems that it would be better to spend the money on fixing his taillight instead of a custom sticker.
They love their little acronyms and anagrams it's quite weird. Also "numerlogy" aka summing and dividing the alphabetical values of words to conveniently make it spell 666 or w.e other codes they have
I don't really like the phrase "this is their whole identity". Really is just uncharitable to any person for being passionate about something.
By the same logic just as many people could be uncharitably described as "being queer is their whole identity", just because they are very vocal about it.
Disregarding that: What an absolute weirdo.

Their mind simply is too small for thinking.
