So because you will be able to generate game assests easily without weeks of modelling and texturing etc games will be waaaay cheaper to buy right?… Right?…
I know you just threw this together as a demo but what I found really trippy was when I threw a short story I've written into it and generated a podcast from it. It's super weird hearing a podcast based on something you've written that never in a million years would you hear such a discussion of :-D I don't know how useful it is but I think it's pretty cool.
I don't live in the US and am not an expert on any of this State vs Fed stuff but it seems to be the case that the government at the State level CAN restrict speech and descriminate against you based on your sexual orientation? Because they're targeting books/speech that are relavant to people, partly at least, due to them being in the LGBTQIA+ community. And it's up to YOU to defend your right to access that speech by taking legal action? So a kind of 'guilty until proven innocent' adjacent scenario. I'm so confused and maybe I'm missing something but it sure FEELS like the 1st amendment is optional?
I assume they could also therefore remove books based on the race of the characters in the books or because of the subject matter being of particular relavance to people of colour? But I assume that's happened before and been tested legally and that's the process that's happening now with the LGBTQIA+ book bans? Is it simply that the LGBTQIA+ community isn't yet as robust in their advocacy, lobbying & litigation as they need to be? That they don't have the equivalent of the NAACP on their side? Should they have to? Isn't the 1st ammendment and anti-descrimination law pretty clear?
As someone living outside the USA, I have struggled to understand what's going on there and why it's allowed to happen when the 1st ammendment exists expressly to stop the government from suppressing speech, the restriction of which can be damaging to vulnerable communites. Take the story of Roy and Silo, about a same sex couple (of penguins for goodness sake?!) raising a child together. This being banned sends a message to children of same sex parents that there is something wrong with their parents / family unit. I find that disturbing enough, but to the child, it could be traumatizing. How would parents explain to their child that their favourite book has been removed from their library purely because the subject of the story is a family just like theirs?!
Most concerts I've been to that have required travel outside of my home city have been 1000km away and I always fly. This has probably been about 10 times all up, 4 of which were festivals with multiple bands I wanted to see. I have yet to travel to another country for a concert but for a very few specific bands that's not out of the question. There's probably only a couple of bands that haven't toured here yet that would actually be that tempting.
Not just you. I have never in all my decades cycling this earth, heard the terms cager or cage to mean car driver or car?! The headline made feck all sense to me on first read.
Crikey!? That sux :-/ I don't recall ever encountering a road in any town or city where I've lived that didn't have at least one footpath per road, and usually there's one down each side of every single street until you get past the last house before hitting the countryside.
Find your local makerspace! You will be super useful to people and able to help them out with your woodworking and computer skills, you will learn new skills adjacent to those hobbies from others and you can bake some treats to take along that will win you instant fans! Also, makerspaces attract people of a wide range of ages and backgrounds that will share many of your interests! It's a win-win-win!
Ok, so I learnt something and checks calendar, yeap, it's definitely Today! Seems like everything is to code around here. Keep up the good work!!
