If it's gross porn or AI slop, instant block. For comments it's only if we get like a dozen replies into an argument and I stop assuming they're able to read

I've never been legally accused or convicted of speeding at or above 10 mph over the posted speed limit in the state of Kansas

Yeah but that's just gonna result in lower image quality, not entirely different font sizes across the picture

You can tell he never intended to kill anyone by the fact that he had a bunch of guns strapped to his tank, and he drove into a building that he thought had children in it. The only reason he failed to kill anyone was because he was an incompetent piece of shit and the town was mostly evacuated in time

You're so close, he was actually a shit baby

An impeachment holds about the same weight as a Politico headline. "Dems SLAM trump over mental faculties!"

I'll eat my boots if this amounts to anything

Nah son as willing as I am to bash Dems at every available opportunity, only Republicans are consistently pedophilic

That is one of my favorite sentences in the English language. Of all of the TV shows that I often recommend, Haibane Renmei is the one that makes me happiest when people say they enjoyed it

The harm we're experiencing right now is a direct result of Biden's failure to hold Republicans accountable for their many crimes, and his appointment of Harris as his successor sans primary. Even if Harris had won 2024, that would simply guarantee an even worse republican win in 2028 instead. Real harm reduction involves electing politicians who will reduce harm, not delay it. You know how you make the Republicans unwinnable across the board? Force the Democratic party to run candidates that can beat "no preference."

I voted Harris, and I tried my god fucking damnedest to convince everyone I know to vote Harris too. It failed, because she couldn't beat an empty fuckin chair. How about we change our strategy? Instead of putting up with whatever slop the DNC feeds us, let's make sure they have primaries this time, and let's make sure they run people worth voting for.

Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. I refuse to end up sitting around in 2040 earnestly arguing in favor of a candidate who is more right-wing than trump, but slightly less right-wing than their contemporary opponent. I will not run defense for a conservative regardless of the letter next to their name

That's part of why I'm being so vocal lately. I am going to vote in 2028, and I am not going to vote for someone who supports Israel. If that means writing in 'The Reanimated Corpse of Abraham Lincoln,' then so be it.

Assuming the Democrats have a primary this time, widespread anti-zionist sentiment could convince some people to work towards getting a candidate on the ballot who isn't a zionist. Harris and Newsom are destined to fail if they end up on the ballot in November. If these "vote blue no matter who" people really want a blue candidate in office, then let's work towards getting a blue candidate that can beat no preference.

 

Taken from my Canon EOS T2i, mounted to the top of my telescope. Thirty 10-second exposures. ~~Manually subtracted the same dark frame from every one to account for the many dead pixels, then manually aligned and stacked in GIMP. No idea what I'm doing, but I like it good enough.~~ Stacked with Siril. Should have done that from the start lol

Next time I'm gonna try to capture it high in the sky instead of when it's at the horizon, and I'm gonna watch a tutorial on stacking instead of dicking around blindly

EDIT: I followed a tutorial! At least, as best as I could with one dark frame and no bias or flats. Still, a massive improvement over manual stacking. Still just dicked around with the colors and levels in GIMP after stacking, but you can sort of see M42 now!

Original picture for posterity. This is what the first 10 comments saw.

 

It's Brinks, so it falls apart if you look at it funny. Still proud of this shitty little pick and wrench. I made them out of a busted windshield wiper and a couple metal files on my lunch break at work

Absolutely brutal. Can someone explain the answers?

 

A while back, someone made a post on an AITAH type subreddit, then updated it saying it was generated with AI. Like 3/4 of the comments left after the update were responding to the story as if there wasn't a big bold THIS STORY IS FAKE update at the top. I've been trying to find this post again for weeks, but no variation of "reddit AITAH AI generated post" offers anything useful on any search engines. Am I remembering wrong? Did I dream this up???

UPDATE: Thank you phlegmy for finding the post!

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
