For folks in the western wold this may seem strange, but it probably makes sense if the intent is lure Chinese vacationers.

Well, considering that Trump himself committed federal crimes...

No

Like a lot of things, the answer is "it depends". Probably the biggest factor I've seen is the willingness to accept their condition and stick with the prescribed medications. The worst cases I've seen all involved individuals who either consistently or intermittently refused to acknowledge their condition and take the meds. It usually resulted in some near tragic circumstances that costs them friends, jobs, and the support of loved ones. In one case I know the end result was fully tragic. However, some people who are bipolar have lived mostly normal lives, so not all hope is lost. It just depends on their willingness to deal with their condition head on.

Insert "That's not how this works!" meme

Idiocracy

Great. They've gone from dog whistles to bullhorns. :|

Here's the link to a site apparently put up by the Cards Against Humanity folks detailing their side of the story: https://elonowesyou100dollars.com/

Always nice to see an honest political ad.

This is a Veritasium video. Despite the clicky-baity title it's not an indictment of democracy. He's just talking about the mathematical problems inherent in different voting systems. YT Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf7ws2DF-zk

Looks like Ship Trump ran straight into the Harris/Walz iceberg.

Yes, please do fire them and hire even worse ones, just like you did with your lawyers in your many court cases.

8. Ms. Liu no longer lives with her father having moved out of her family home in September 2022 aged 16, but for the past two years she has regularly visited him at her family home a few nights per month. Ms. Liu further explained that on many of these visits since her father began using his dorzolamide eyedrops, she would lie on her father’s bed to talk and spend time with him each evening beginning around 8:00 p.m. and would stay on his bed from 30 to 90 minutes at a time, during which time she would have contact with her father’s pillows and bedding.13 When reacting to a funny or emotional story or video she shared with her father, which was not uncommon, Ms. Liu would sometimes press her face into the pillow while laughing.14 Ms. Liu explained that as a young child she grew up talking and spending time with both of her parents in their beds while they relaxed and that she had continued with that family tradition when visiting her father, and treasured it all the more since she no longer lived with him.15
9. Ms. Liu’s father corroborated Ms. Liu’s explanation that in June 2023 he was prescribed dorzolamide eyedrops to treat his glaucoma which he administered in his bed twice daily until ceasing use in late March 2024

A little odd, but not unbelievable. There was also a point made that this medication would not help her compete in her field of artistic swimming and that the measured quantities were extremely low, consistent with it being absorbed through the skin. So on the whole it sounds like there's no real controversy here.

Yes, very weird.

The party that has promoted a sexist and racist agenda for decades is surprised when its members publicly make sexist and racist comments about an opposing candidate? This very well could turn into a major leopard-ate-my-face moment and I'm ready for it with plenty of popcorn.

I get the feeling they didn't think this through thoroughly.

My guess was based on knowing that his parents were likely conservative (owing to the signs in the yard). In my experience conservative parents are often stricter than more liberal leaning parents. If that was the case here then knowing he was bullied and denied being on the rifle team, I can imagine that things weren't exactly chipper for him in the family home either.

My guess was, of course, just speculation. However, I would urge whoever is investigating his actions to look into the family situation to get a better picture of what might have motivated the young man's actions.

He was a young man still finding his way. Even accepting the fact that he had conservative leanings, that doesn't preclude the possibility of him doing something to lash out at his parents particularly if that something involved causing the death of a prominent "conservative" his parents hold dear. My presumption is that his conservative parents were strict and overbearing, which isn't a stretch based on my own experiences.

OK, so the signs were in his family's yard. This means his parents were supporters and the kid grew up w/ conservative parents. My guess (and this is just a guess) is his actions were in part a rebellious act against his parents.

Not sure if you are in the US or not but just so you are aware, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will not issue a copyright to AI generated content. I don't know what the laws are outside the US, but other jurisdictions may be similar. The upshot of this is that while you may try to sell AI generated content, you will not be able to enforce any sort of copyright on it, at least within the US and possibly other countries. Many (those whose countries don't recognize copyrights on AI generated content) will be able to take what you post/sell and sell it or use it as their own without having to pay you anything.
