So your argument is if the regulation isn't perfectly applied to every possible instance of a potential violation simultaneously, then it should never be applied? How does that make any sense?
For example, I'm personally of the opinion that instances should be allowed to federate until they prove themselves to be bad actors, but in Meta's case there's a lot of existing evidence that shows they shouldn't be allowed to federate in the first instance.
I'm not sure how this in any way contradicts what I said. I'm not saying only watch The Wire, I'm saying between The Wire and The Shield, having seen both, I prefer The Wire, but they're also very different so it's not a good comparison.
The Shield is very different. LA and Baltimore are very different culturally and it shows in the final product. The Shield also focuses on the one squad while The Wire is about the city of Baltimore. Of the two, I personally think The Shield is a little more cartoonish, so The Wire wins out, but The Shield is still excellent.
While there's a good chance the truth is Ohtani has a gambling problem, it's entirely possible he just paid off the debt and didn't know doing so was illegal. Couple that with translation issues and you can see why they'd backpedal, then wait.
Mate, that's not art, that's coding. Congratulations on learning a new coding skill and how inputs can affect outputs. Frankly, it's barely coding, it's adding degrees of specification so a program can do all the work. I get that it took you a while to learn what all of it means and how it works, sort of, but something being hard to do doesn't make it art.
And don't cheapen photography by comparing it to generating an AI image. There's physical labor involved in photography on top of composition and patience.
I think the mistake there is often on the person asking. Generally speaking, if you ask anyone a question on a topic they have even some familiarity with, they'll answer it. Especially if it's an opinion on something social or political.
Most people, let alone voters, don't actually watch or read any actual reporting regardless of bias. They get news through content-creators, so it's all bite-sized with all critical thinking removed.
But they still probably use buses on occasion. Also, it's not exactly hard for a passenger to step through the little doors to the stairs at the end of the jetway, chuck a coin, then continue boarding.
Also, to reply to the other person, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the military supporting a blockbuster about fighter pilots, or about the military generally, in a fictional story. Filmmakers know the deal, they can't shit on the military while getting it's help, but it's disclosed in the credits and almost always patently obvious. There are far more insidious films like Zero Dark Thirty or Argo, or even a show that I love, Band of Brothers, that are mostly propaganda about real events to rewrite history to hide America's flaws. That's what we need to worry about, not the military helping out with Top Gun or Transformers.
