I couldn't care less if it was shot on video tape as long as the writing is solid and the story is fresh, interesting, and meaningful.

And I want politicians to start living in trailer parks, projects, and section 8 housing in the parts of town that their policies are destroying.

Sure would be nice to have a functional, sane, and reality based conservative party in the US, not this circus sideshow they call the Republican party.

I do this quite frequently for a certain youtube channel, you'll want MakeMKV, Hybrid, and Topaz. If you really want to go all out and make a huge project out of it you can upscale each scene individually and stitch them back together in Premier, ain't nobody got time for that though.

Rip the disc with MakeMKV.

Then open and deinterlace the file with hybrid, I use the QTGMC filter, if you're doing film content you should use ivtc. Do any other filtering or denoising in Hybrid, the video really needs to be clean before upscaling. Then export it in a lossless file format with passthrough audio.

Load that file into Topaz and upscale it with the Proteus AI model, I use the manual setting (40,20,10,1,3,-2) with 25% original detail recovery and the grain filter on a low setting to help restore what the filtering removed. Your settings will need to be adjusted for each project. Export again in the highest quality that you can, then load that file into your favorite encoder and compress it down to whatever size/bitrate you want. Topaz's encoder doesn't have any configuration options so I use Hybrid to do the final encode.

It has gotten unbelievable in the last 10 years, even if you've just had major surgery, they'll send you home and tell you to take Tylenol.

Dumb kids, you're supposed to dose acid not douse it.

• Watch a franchise with great source material get absolutely massacred by incompetent showrunners to the point that you can't even bear to watch it anymore.

They should recall all mustang drivers for being defective.

Citizens of free and democratic societies have a fundamental need to be informed of what is going on in the world and their communities, free of bias or censorship, so they can make informed, reality based decisions and instruct their representatives in government on how to carry out the will of the people. When you start filtering and curating peoples' perception of reality to fit an agenda or narrative you're talking away their agency (you tankies wouldn't understand what that word means), and interfering with their duties as a citizen.

5.0.6: No visual content depicting executions, murder, suicide, dismemberment, visible innards, excessive gore, or charred bodies. No content depicting, promoting or enabling animal abuse.

This rule needs an exception for war reporting, and posting evidence of criminal activity or police misconduct.

I think this is more a symptom of our news agencies and social media platforms being so fucking worthless that people are having to resort to using shady platforms to get up to date and uncensored news.

If you're following this war closely, Telegram is the place to be.

Had a pretty good following on the website that shall remain nameless, only a handful of people made it over here though.
