A Very Brady Sequel.

That’s pretty much my thinking too. I mean, what’s the less biased alternative to get to the truth here? The law firm has an incentive to satisfy the people paying them, but they also have their own reputation to maintain.

So I guess I’d be inclined to skeptically believe their findings. Although, it would be better if the firm released their own summary (or endorsed this one).

I like to picture Jesus in a Tuxedo T-shirt, 'cause it says, ‘I wanna be formal, but I’m here to party, too.’

You know, Jesus did grow up. You don’t always have to call him baby. It’s a bit odd and off putting to pray to a baby.

The correct word would be plurality.

And if you’re a fan of quotation marks you could call it a “2"x4”."

Don’t get me wrong, I think that’s where the money should come from too. I just meant where else is the money going to come from in the current US healthcare system.

Unfortunately, we don’t live in a country where that’s the case right now. I think it is still a very good thing to donate blood, despite having for-profit/privatized healthcare.

Fair enough. If that’s the philosophy you want to live by, then who am I to say otherwise.

Personally, I’d rather help people the best I can in the world I live in.

But where does the money come from? It sucks that in the US it has to come from the patient, but that’s the world we live in right now. I think it’s worth doing all the good you can with the tools available at the moment. Even if it’s not perfect.

I’m just assuming you’re in the US. Sorry if that’s not the case and your country has a different situation.

That’s a terrible reason. You would rather a patient in need not have blood available than be charged for it?

There is definitely price gouging in blood. But it also requires testing, transportation, and storage before it can be used. The money for all that has to come from somewhere (unfortunately in the US it’s usually the patient).

I would have thought so too, but they’re working on at least one. Although you’re right about a lot of places being unfeasible–anything more than dirt/gravel in a very limited number of communities would be cost prohibitive.

Suno is a bit more active (just because it’s been around longer) and there are some hilarious songs there too. I Glued My Balls to My Butthole is one of my favorites.

I feel exactly the same way. I can now be creative in ways I couldn’t before. Sometimes I’ll use my own lyrics, sometimes I’ll use ChatGPT to write lyrics and I’ll edit. It’s really fun to play with the same lyrics in different genres too.

Those are the exact things I’m looking for (just waiting for a few more roads to connect towns). I’m glad to hear it’s living up to the expectations I’ve heard of!

I went to Iceland a couple years ago and the landscapes are amazing, but there are definitely areas where you run into a lot of tourists, busses, etc.

I’m visiting the Faroe Islands later this year and I’m hoping to experience some rugged landscapes in relative isolation there too.

No worries, I just wanted to share a couple cool AI tools. Figured this sub was as good as any to post about Suno and Udio in.

I thought so too. It’s really fun to mess around with as someone who isn’t very musically inclined. I did a quick search on Lemmy and was surprised to see neither has really been posted about.

I’d definitely like to go there someday too–it’s just a bit too remote for me at the moment.

I can see its tourism becoming what Iceland was like 15-20 years ago.

I think Greenland will fit the premise of your question in a few years.

There’s not a ton of tourism infrastructure yet, but there are currently a lot of subsidies going into roads, airports, lodging, etc. to induce more tourism.

I think 2001 is the best example of the unique characteristics of movies/film as an artform. Other movies may have better acting and stories, but in my opinion nothing beats the visual and auditory experience of 2001.

Fallout 76. Granted, I played it almost a year after release.

I found it to be a very good game overall. Not as good as New Vegas or FO3, but I thought it was better than FO4.
