My point is, pre-tiktok shooting landscape video was basic use 101. Maybe your grandpa would shoot vertical, but your teenage kid would know to turn the phone sideways. So I'd say it's either "bare minimum competence 2018 and below", that yeah I guess became "near professional" post tik tok. But to me it just says amature who hasn't paid attention to current media formats.

Because I'd feel that someone who was "professional" would have shot it vertical for tik tok today, as that's the platform to reach new people.

Well I think bottom line is that's the rub, the burden to become a payment provider is high... which it should be, but that's because we need pretty damn good regulations on them (as obviously if their security goes to crap, the consiquences are insanely high).

In addition it kind of is a small group by design because, we can't have it as a large group. If we have a nice even spread across 50 payment processors, then either everyone needs 50 credit cards, or every service that needs to be paid needs contracts with 50 payment services.

In a world without regulation etc... maybe. Bottom line we've given payment processors power. Bottom line we need to buy things in the digital world, unless crypto can actually be stabilized or designed in a way that doesn't require an unsustainable massive energy waste and polution to use.

There either needs to be a universal good as cash payment processor that anyone can easily use... or we need to force ones that exist to transfer payments without bias.

Which honestly would be a really nice step up for the US... if we could stop pushing to STOP green energy we could work our way to a nice mixture.. which leaves the OPTION to phase out. but our current administration seems threatened by the option being there.

Working under Joker directly is dangerous, but working alongside his crew to pull off a big job can work out. Joker can be pretty reliable if his teammates show him respect. Joker would love to do a job against Trump or Musk.

Are there forms of joker that don't kill their henchmen on whims and for laughs?

Something I would note here, mostly this is only covering the "would the boss kill you directly". which is also kind of missing the second danger, IE even if there's a boss that would never personally kill you, certainly you also have to factor in the fact that any boss will throw you on the front lines of a war, throw you under the bus so the police are busy arresting you while they get away etc...

edit I’m not saying portrait is better. I hardly ever use my phones cameras. But most videos on the internet from the past 10 years are portrait mode.

Honestly I fully disagree on the 10 year mark. I'd say about 6 years ago the normal response to a portrait mode video was "what the heck is wrong with you, turn your phone sideways, only complete newbies shoot vertical video", our monitors are landscape, our TVs are landscape.

However, then covid hit, and tiktok became the popular video platform... and everything reversed.

I mean fair to say, the democrats do have the free cheats overall...

Same as what happened with the public option etc... In short there were at least 4 capital D democrats forming an anti public option caucus. What's the story for why the vote never happened... Liberman the independent wouldn't get on board, they were one vote behind no matter what so there was no point going forward.

now same here with the epstein files... IMO I'd say most likely 95% of the house of representatives is probably not in these files, and I'd also say it's fair to say there's not many Democrats still in service on the list (obviously the biggest name dem that's almost certainly on the list is Clinton).

That Being said I'm sure there's major donors on both sides of the aisle that are going to pressure the hell out of their representatives to prevent the list from seeing the light of day.

All in all I actually wonder how the dem's would have voted had there been a few republicans that were brave enough to defect. Congress usually knows the result of the vote before it happens, it's pretty rare to switch it up. But on the other hand, it would also be political suicide to be a lone or minority defector in your party. That's why the republicans are so good at making a united front, in spite of many of them publicly voicing opposition to the very things they vote for.

Well yeah we only want the best and brightest... and what shows you are a succesful good economy building american more than not paying taxes.

See that's the mistake we made... we arrested al capone for not paying his taxes... when in reality we should have made him president.

Nah... second thought probably not, Capone opened soup kitchens... he'd be way too commie for modern politics.

If it weren't for the window, this would be the safest place in a tornado.

or another stupid, but viable way to do it,

if number = 0:

return true

runloop = true

while runloop:

if number > 0:

number -= 2

else:

number += 2

if number = 1:

return false

runloop = false

if number = 2:

return true

runloop = false

still very shitty amature coding, doesn't depend on modulos, or anything that I can think of that some languages might lack an equivelant of.

The idea there lol... sadly I think conservatives are more likely to be afraid of being though to be gay, than to be pedophiles.

Hence the funniest way to bring them out might be if they are accused of having sex with of age people of the same sex... they could respond "no no really, I had sex with a 15 year old girl, I'm not gay".

I too think he will win... but I think it's going to shine a light on the democratic parties hypocrisy. We'll see more when the general goes into gear... But I think that some big names in the democratic party are going to either stay silent or flat out oppose Mamdami.
