I'm fairly confident tgat Hollywood accounting and producers inflating budgets so they can easier skim off the top is the problem.

One of my college graphic design teachers was an old man who had been doing commercial art since the 60s. He'd tell us about how there used to be one guy who handled the colours, one guy who handled the lettering, a photographer or illustrator, and an art director overseeing them all. We're not even going to get into the copywriter, creative directors, ane printers.

Then adobe and computers came in and now one guy will handle all those jobs on a single project. And that one guy is paid a lot less than any single individual would've been.

The AI doesn't remove the need for an artist or designer, you seem to always need someone who knows what they're actually doing in order to get reliable results from the AI. What it will probably do is allow a creative to work on a wider variety of projects and reduce the amount of paid creative work that's available to professionals.

Hm. Not sure how I feel about a company treating an artstyle like it's their own legally protectable trademark or intellectual property.

They call it a studio ghibli filter and you can just say 'studio ghibli style' and everyone immediately knows what you're talking about

In movies and tv people's throats close up and they need an epipen - so i am totally immune besides the stomach pains and toilet issues

If he's okay with this happening to his own wife, someone he swore to protect in front of everyone he knows, what do you think he's okay with happening to you

I'm guessing Roberts and Alito know the admin will ignore this court order and pushed Thomas to make it unanimous for the fight to keep the judiciary an actual branch of the government that is to follow

I can eat spoiled food and not feel any ill effects except for stomach pains and diarrhea

If u r buying dm me, i got a connect

Maybe try opening the yt app on your tv amd doing it through that UI. Could be your desktop browser's anti-tracking is messing it up.

just because fluoride reduces cavities doesn’t automatically mean it’s safe to ingest over long periods. The same institutions praising its dental benefits are also historically slow to acknowledge health risks (think lead, asbestos, DDT, etc.).

Historical failures are usualy valid cautionary tales, but that doesn't mean they automatically apply. Unlike lead or asbestos, fluoride has been studied extensively for decades. Drawing parallels without evidence is oversimplifying the issue.

Plus, we banned all those things when we learned they were harmful, even though they were big money savers. Why would we be resistant to banning flouride if the evidence showed it was harmful? Is our fight against cavities more important to us than better gasoline milage?

The criticism isn't just ‘old studies vs. new ones.’ It’s about the fact that most of the large-scale safety studies on fluoride aren’t actually designed to detect subtle or long-term harm—especially to the brain or endocrine system. Recent, peer-reviewed research (like the studies on lowered IQ in high-fluoride areas) suggests we might be underestimating the risks.

Those studies focus on areas with high-fluoride levels (often above 2 mg/L), which exceed the levels used in water fluoridation programs in most countries (typically 0.7 mg/L). Extrapolating findings from high-fluoride regions to areas with controlled fluoridation ignores dose-response relationships and misrepresents the risks.

And let’s not pretend there’s no conflict of interest. Fluoride used in water systems comes from fertilizer industry byproducts. There’s a real economic incentive to spin waste into something profitable—especially if you can sell it under the label of public health.

This doesn’t inherently mean it’s unsafe or that its use is driven purely by profit motives. Regulatory agencies evaluate fluoride safety based on scientific evidence, not its source. Your argument is conflating the origin of fluoride with its safety.

Everyone really just moved all of GWB's sins onto Obama, huh
