To be fair, the signage was very misleading.

Ah yes, Because That Is What Makes a Good Logo
Considering they probably fed the left image into the ai to make the right image, it’s rather silly.
“I made this logo with only an ai model, and can-do attitude, and a logo.”

TIL that in 1975, after Gillette introduced a two-blade cartridge razor, Saturday Night Live aired a fake commercial for a three-blade razor. Gillette introduced one in 1998. In 2004, a satirical ...
I’ll never stop being angry about the enshitification of razors. I tried so many different brands of cartridge razor and they were all terrible. When I tried safety razors, even with improper technique and not having found the right blades yet, I still got a better shave than with any of the cartridge razors. It’s not even close. I bought a nice safety razor and 200 blades which could last me decades for less than one Gilette Fusion with six replacement heads. I tried the fancy creams and boar’s hair brush, but honestly I’m fine with just water.
When I tell this to people in real life they almost always excitedly start in on “Have you heard of Dollar Shave Club?!” as if they aren’t suggesting I spend much more money on an inferior shave. One blade is about $0.05. Even if DSC did offer $1 options they would still be 20x more expensive.

Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be President?
Man, I wish Lex Luthor was president.

The “I” in DEI is literally “Inclusion”. Nothing more divisive than inclusion, surely.

Anon watches a romance movie
I recently heard Docket by Blondshell for the first time and favorited it right away.
Then I listened again more tuned in and noticed it was about infidelity and thought “aw man”, unfavorited and moved on.
Heard it a couple more times and realized it wasn’t glorifying cheating, lines like “my worst nightmare is me”. Back on the list! Real rollercoaster.

The real point where this argument falls apart is that modern AAA games almost exclusively use TAA, which ruins graphics. I’m so sick of shadows blurring and everything looking terrible and people saying it’s next level.

The Faculty, any day
Chocolate. Taiwanese movie about an autistic girl who goes around beating up gangsters in the styles of famous martial artists she saw on TV, followed by her repeatedly demanding they give her an unspecified amount of money.

I just use my safety razor in the shower with conditioner. It’s easier than a cartridge razor, shaves much better, and it so much cheaper it’s laughable.

I thought this happened to me once, and spent several hours looking around the neighborhood just to discover it was still inside. I would have sworn on my life there was no space left unchecked that could physically fit a cat.

Graphics are now BANNED
Reply in thread
I recently upgraded my computer with the best possible components, and it makes me so mad that games look worse than they did when I put my last pc together. What’s the point of bothering with graphics at all if you’re going to add a smear filter.
Indie games out here killing it with pixel art.

When I moved away from Alaska, the first person I spoke to in Georgia was a fast food cashier who asked about my day, and they asked “How are you liking the states?” No variation of “Alaska is a state.” would get through to him, he just kept saying “Sure, but I mean like a United States state.”

Is it generally safe to be openly gender non-conforming in big cities? I'm tired of hiding in the closet.

I will say I see a new transgender person at least once a month out in the wild here in Seattle. I can’t speak to their experiences, but they exist at least.

Aaaand there we go. Subreddit it is.
If you had bothered to actually read my post you would realize that I found the sub after the fact.
FWIW, it's hard to tell from gifs, but that amount of ghosting and frame-blending is neither TAA nor a normal thing that is happening on everybody's computers without them noticing.
This is both reproducible and repeatable. I can reliably make it happen in several games, and it goes away completely when I turn off TAA in all cases. It has done this on all 3 of my previous computers, and it happened on two of my friend’s (who insisted it did not) computers when checked. I’m not running any custom post processing. All of our cards were Nvidia, so it’s possibly an Nvidia only thing, but even then the point stands.
I’m much more inclined to believe the effect I’ve done my due diligence to investigate is real, and that it’s simply too mild in most cases for people to notice, than believe some rude stranger with an uninformed “nu uh” and nothing else.
If you put some of that effort you put into sounding right into actually being right, you can find many clips of the same effect on youtube.

He did not, I asked specifically. I even said “Alaska is the 49th of the 50 states.” and he chuckled and said I was confused. Thankfully that wasn’t the standard, but I did meet a few more similarly confounded people over the years.
Also the number of people that think Alaska is small because of how it’s shown on many maps is staggering.
