no reaction from the crowd, and more like a silent movie with the banging of a baking tin for accompaniment.
And there she lays with a mask on. No clue and never gonna have one. Very sad to see people so utterly incapable of independent thought.
France supports sending weapons to Ukraine, leading to the death of hundreds and thousands of people. There is hardly any opposition. France has...
When I read about these 'types' making their demands, I always retort: You FIRST bucko!

I also think that professional photographers can spot the algorithmic filters vs. manual adjustments. But for the masses, they have no idea how to do it if they have to press more than one button, and it can also be obvious when looking at the framing of the photo.
But for legit photogs, there's no point in sharing your photos on social media as the masses can't differentiate great art from click-click shots. This is highlighted when you try to submit photos to stock photo sites as the standards are really, really high (at least they were when I was trying to get photos online so I could get paid). There were the basic requirements to submit, and then a very detailed manual review process, which I assume also included a search to make sure you own the works.
I don't find digital photography bad in and of itself. I love my Canon t2i and have taken some amazing shots on it and manually edited them into unique works. But I still have my film cameras (which are not on the same level as the Canon even when compared to other film cameras). I still know more about photography than my peers who have never hand-painted a photo or reviewed negatives on a light screen.
On the other hand, google AI is getting to a point where it's difficult to determine what is real and what is manufactured without some time spent reviewing, and that bugs me.
I support the idea of these new platforms, but I won't be joining any of them.
All the shiny things are dependent upon an infrastructure that could be wiped out at any moment by an unfortunately aimed solar flare. How many people on the planet would die in less than a week because they don't have the first clue about how to find potable water? Less than a month because they don't know how to forage, hunt, or even cook a meal without a microwave? And how many would just sit there, waiting for a government to come save them when telephones don't even work anymore and every car with a circuit board can no longer function?
Feeling a little cynical about humanity today.
hope you will bring back some rythm to this foresaken place 😋

"The International Rules-Based Order (IRBO) is under threat and global power is shifting. As East and West rekindle old enmities we are led to believe that this struggle will determine the future of international relations and the direction of nation states. However, the global transformation is not led by national governments but by a global network of stakeholders and global technocracy is their goal..."

“When I saw this (Putin's statement on the recognition of the DNR and LNR ) on the TV screen, I said: '
This is brilliant. Putin declares most of Ukraine independent - this is wonderful.
And he will become a peacemaker ... This is the most powerful peacekeeping force he has ever seen, " said Trump in an interview with American resource The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
“This guy is very smart. I knew Putin very well. I had a great time with him. He likes me, he likes me. He's a tough nut to crack ... and he loves his country of him, ” added Trump.
In turn, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made it clear that current US President Joe Biden, who could not resist Vladimir Putin, is responsible for the current situation in Ukraine
“Putin is the same person who was under our administration. The only thing that has changed is the leadership of the United State s, " Pompeo wrote on his social media page.
