I had a friend who couldn't see them and the following explanation is how I got her to be able to:

  1. Stand two arm lengths from the picture, holding you arm out in front of you with one finger up, so that your finger is halfway between you and the picture and lined up with near the bottom of it (or you could use any distance and put your finger halfway there).

  2. Both the picture and your finger should now be in your field of view. Focus on the tip of your finger. Maintain your eyes in that focus state and shift your attention from your finger to the picture, remembering not to let your eyes change their focus.

  3. Once you have your eyes stuck into that focus length you should be able to move them around and view all parts of the picture seeing the 3D effect. But if you still have problems you can move your finger to keep it in front of your eyes and in focus while you move your eyes, but you'll quickly learn how to keep them in the correct state with a little practice.

This also works if you focus on twice the distance of the picture, but most people find the half-distance focus easier.

Ok. You said "But you just watched", so I thought you were talking about the most recent catastrophic legislation, which is why I asked which bill you were talking about. Schumer's a cowardly piece of shit and could have used the only chance dems had or will have, because the other cowardly pieces of shit would have followed his lead and voted against it if he would have.

by opting not to shut down Donald’s government and voting with Republicans

What are you talking about? Are you talking about a specific bill? Which one? All Dems voted against the 'huge hideous bill' (budget bill). Dems don't have the power/votes to 'shut down Donald's government'.

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about fire ants.

It was supposed to be a joke (but only a semi-joke), because 'reign' is what monarchs and authoritarians do.

But in this case either of the homophones works.

Absolutely nothing is stopping him. Certainly not the laws, the Constitution, or the Supreme Court. Lower courts are still ruling against him but getting overridden by SCOTUS.

The only left is we the people and that will take a huge number of us to work together.

Or you didn't take everyone at their word.

Far more trustworthy than today. For books to be published they had to be reviewed and accepted by a publisher and then they were copy-edited for accuracy and consistency. Not like now where you can write any pile of crap you want (or have an AI generate it) and self-publish it to Amazon or whatever.

And you still have to go to a university library if you want any scientific papers and research knowledge, because most of it is behind a paywall and only universities can afford to subscribe to the journals.

History doesn't go out of date. The speed of light doesn't go out of date. Sure, a lot of things happened since it was published so it doesn't have the latest stuff but that doesn't invalidate the information they have, and if a new regime decides to erase or rewrite parts of history you still have it in black and white.

 

If AI is going to scrape content I post or emails I send to people who use gmail, etc. I would like to include a few sentences in each item that will fuck with any AI training they get used by.

(I especially want to stick it in any emails that google will have access to because certain people I want to communicate with refuse to use anything but gmail, even for conversations just with me, after I've specifically asked them to. 😠 )

So I've searched and found many online "nonsense generators" but they use AI to generate silly sentences for you. That's not what I want.

What I want is something that generates grammatically incorrect entences, sentences with words that would never follow each other, and whatever kinds of sentences would cause AI training methods to learn wrong and meaningless patterns of language, so that when it generates stuff based on that it will be obvious crap that is useless for any purpose.

I figure someone has created this by now. Does anyone know where to find something I can use for this?

 

I'm glad to see Canada taking a strong stance, especially the direct action against Musk with the Starlink contract. Mexico is also standing strong and Trump has already backed off of them for now. BTW ever notice how the closer friends the countries are with us, the worse he treats them?

 

New research suggests that the company makes the communities it operates in poorer—even taking into account its famous low prices.

There was particular glee in Trump’s takedown of Vice President Kamala Harris, whose gender and multiracial heritage were relentlessly attacked in the “manosphere,” a loose network of misogynistic communities with influence through gaming, social media and other cultural forces.

A network poll shows that 49 percent of men 18 to 29 voted for Trump; the number was 53 percent for men ages 30 to 39, an increase over 2020 results in both categories.

“Gender is the story of this election in a lot of ways,” Miller-Idriss said.

Christian supremacists urged followers to drop to their knees in prayerful gratitude for the defeat of the “Demon-crats” and for the victory of a man they say will usher in “Bible-based governance.”

 

Per anti-vax conspiracy theorist RFK, Jr., Trump promised him control of our public Health agencies in deal for him to drop out and endorse Trump.

 

We are here.

(written in 2003) Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.

 

The suit alleges the mandate violates the Oklahoma Constitution because it involves spending public money to support religion and favors one religion over another by requiring the use of a Protestant version of the Bible. It also alleges Walters and the state Board of Education don’t have the authority to require the use of instructional materials.

“As parents, my husband and I have sole responsibility to decide how and when our children learn about the Bible and religious teachings,” plaintiff Erika Wright, the founder of the Oklahoma Rural Schools Coalition and parent of two school-aged children, said in a statement. “It is not the role of any politician or public school official to intervene in these personal matters.”

Keep watching to the end for what you can do about it.
