Stocky is what I’d use

Nope. Never met him. I’m sure he’s a lovely chap, but IMHO he’s better suited to a completely different career

He’s not a good actor. Not interesting. Boring to watch. He has zero talent in the thespian realm.

In short, I generally don’t like the films he is in.

Just my opinion

He was, and always has been, a tedious actor to watch.

If that’s the case, then I am also an AI. I learn things all the time. I would also need to have unlimited and unfettered access to all copyrighted material.

True, but the RnD ain’t cheap. And, if everyone else starts charging (as I am sure they eventually will), Apple will follow.

Genmoji is a waste of space. The image generation is really bad (but then again, most of these platforms are). The writing tools are mediocre. About all that is moderately useful is that Siri seems a little better and processing commands.

If they want to start charging for this, I’m out.

Lower prices after a merger? Always promised, never delivered.

Ask the people you label as fascists what they are upset about. Listen with empathy and not judgement. When I’ve done this, many are not as far right as they think.

It’s not enough to judge people as fascists. Anyone who agrees with you is likely in an echo chamber, and those who disagree with you are in another one. This is what it means to know your enemy

The goal of this is to try and persuade the majority of people that he was reasonable. Right now, they’re scared as there are a lot of people talking about serious change. Social change.

Little, however, will come of it unless it coalesces and drags along the majority into opting out of the system.

Until he was arrested, Mangione was Neo in the Matrix. Now he’s be captured, the Agent Smiths of this world are cleaning up

Maybe it’s not enough for you to call it out.

It’s good that you do this, but other people need to learn to recognize it for themselves. I don’t see why images likes this would hurt. The only evil many of these people committed was not thinking for themselves and taking a moral stand. Instead, they got by as best as they could.

I’m not trying to excuse them, but understand them, and that’s part of the problem right now. The current crop of right-wing idealogs think that nobody understands them, except for people like Donald Trump. That’s why the democrats lost.

 

I was recently gifted an immaculate Apple IIc, but it came without a power supply. I wasn’t able to find a replacement online, and so I am hoping someone with more knowledge than me knows where I may be able to find one?
