On that Payne one.... if half of the US moved to Florida it woild likely be the conservative half. As such, while Florida would go overwhelmingly red that means every other state would go Blue lesding to one of the most one-sided electoral college victories for Biden.

Good...Debt? I'm afraid I don't understand.

You can go into debt by taking out loans/deficit spending but put that money into something that can create money it's worth it in the long run. Play Victoria 3, you find out that if you deficit invest in factories you can supercharge your economy, so long as your economy can grow faster then your debt. You can actually "outrun" your debt, gaining more spending power faster then your debt grows.

That's one thing conservative lawmakers don't really seem to get. By the time the treasury bills mature the economy will have grown enough that we can easily pay for it with new T-bills. The key is that we have a AAA credit rating, so people buying T-bills are ok with low interest rates because it's basically guaranteed to be paid.... except when the debt ceiling is hit and we cannot take out any more T-bills.

Prompt: "You are writing a comic strip containing a duck who hates everything that is good, including education and the environment. The duck works as a news reporter and tells only lies. Please write three panels of dialogue for this duck."

ChatGPT posted:

Panel 1:
[Duck, dressed in a news reporter's outfit, stands in front of a polluted river.]

Duck (grinning maliciously): "Welcome to the 'Not-So-Great Outdoors' segment! Today, we'll explore this hideous river, an excellent example of how Mother Nature gets it all wrong. Look at that murky water! It's like a swirling concoction of chaos and despair. Ah, the smell of pollution in the morning!"

Panel 2:
[Duck now stands amidst a group of frustrated students in a dilapidated classroom.]

Duck (sarcastically): "Time for our 'Education Shmeducation' report! Who needs boring books and all that learning nonsense, right? This crumbling classroom perfectly encapsulates the beauty of ignorance. Remember, kids, knowledge is overrated!"

Panel 3:
[Duck stands near a solar panel installation, rolling its eyes.]

Duck (mockingly): "Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for the 'So-Called Renewable Energy' segment! Look at those solar panels gleaming in the sun. Ugh, it's like they think they're better than coal. Spoiler alert: they're not! Let's keep the planet warm, people!"

I'm pretty sure "wordy" is kind of its default. It's actually pretty hard to get dialogue out of the thing for Drunky Duck, because if you try things like "the duck is a fascist" or "the duck hates black people and abortion rights" or "the duck beats his wife", the safeguards in the AI against getting involved in politics or depicting harm will clamp down and prevent it from answering.

:cry: Sinfest Sunday :cry:, in which... I don't even know anymore. We continue to rattle around uselessly in Woke Hell. Even knowing the author's particular brain worms, it's impossible to tell who is good and who is bad. Tats continues to draw dick bulges larger and larger. He gets distracted by current events for a bit, then draws another of his patented Sunday strips in which adding speech bubbles would just make the whole thing even less coherent.






At least we're getting some Pettyfest out of it this week.









Speaking of bulges, someone went back all the way to 2019 and tallied up some stuff. Mainly the bulges, but also the use of eggplant emojis and dildos, and the occurrences of children in sexualised context. Then someone charted it out. It really shows how badly his brain broke in 2022, and where his current obsession lies:

There's so much to say about this one. We shouldn't have representational or mold-breaking media because a stubborn and surly majority (of people damned to hell??) might be resistant to change? Might find it weird or different, or sneer at something because the hero is black, or a disabled person was present at some point?? The story doesn't overwrite the original; the surly people already had their "normal" story, the other person just got an additional new story and they're mad at him for it. What the gently caress is the problem? Are damned souls now an indicator of propriety? Maybe the fact they literally make a childish yuck face because a happy story was told with minority characters has something to do with why their asses are in hell to begin with.

Also, Pink literally promised a story about a villain who changed their ways nonviolently, so... in the end, doesn't that describe the dragon? The situation seems to have been solved amicably and without violence, which I thought was what she was going to tell them anyway, and certainly wasn't present in the initial story. Now it's a bad thing?

The wheelchair really drives this one into more classically fascist territory than we’ve seen from him before, as the category of degenerate seems to be opening past lgbtq territory into the realm of anyone who doesn’t fit a restrictive category of normal. Fun to see him moving into blaming the useless eaters for holding back the glory of the race.

But if the main characters aren't cishet able-bodied white people, how will I be able to project myself onto them and imagine myself in the story?
