The law sounds reasonable. I'd argue that it provides additional definition to defamation laws. Deep fakes are meant too fool people into thinking the victim made a statement that they did not. That almost seems like the definition of slander.

The only real reason is lack of ranked choice voting. With the current system a choice is made that is either a win or a loss. This creates a binary system of Republicans or Democrats. Ranked choice allows for an automatic fall back. If you vote for a third-party candidate that you really like under ranked choice, this is not a protest vote. If your candidate doesn't win you provided a fall back to a larger party candidate.

I've seen an old list of Adobe alternatives, but do you know of a recent one? I prim use Divinci Resolve over Premiere for video but have less familiarity with others. I find Gimp a bit hard to use. Mostly the controls don't feel natural for some reason.

Misinformation played a much bigger role than than a lot of people are willing to admit.

Except they'll take a lot of us with them. We need herd immunity, clean air and water, safe roads. They're going to fuck us all with their idiocy.

Even though we can all guess which candidate is mean to benefit from the videos the point is to divide and bring chaos to the US. A weaker US benefits Putin. Just like how Russia heavily promoted Brexit.

The one where a part from another plane fell off and got ingested into the Concord's engine? It's hard to see that as Concord's fault, but there was significant loss of life and reputation. But that really shouldn't be characterized as a Concord failure.

Won't happen. The primary reason the Concord failed was that they couldn't make enough money. Running engines to push a plane that fast are super expensive.

They are in a cult, so yeah.

US pic (note the wall outlet). That would be 60 times per second. And yes, I'm fun at parties.

All countries do it to a degree, but China provides massive amounts of funding.
