  • I'm just guessing here, but the left image looks both low red and out of focus while the right one in much higher red and much more in focus, so it could be that the little bit of hair on his brow just doesn't show up well on the CCTV and that's why it looks like he has more monobrow hair on the right. I'm not dismissing the possibility that he's a different person completely, but if I go with an Occam's razor though process, I'm inclined to lean in the direction of it being a visual thing with the camera+lighting+environment difference rather than being a completely different (but similar looking) person with a weapon like the one used in the shooting and a manefesto and the same style of face mask, ect.

  • Hold up a minute, you are putting words in my mouth. I'm not even making any claims in my comment about how many Stalin killed or that he acted alone. Only the historically accurate fact that he is responsible for a significant amount of death and suffering, and that statistically it is impossible that everyone persecuted by the (Stalin lead) soviet government was innocent. You can argue numbers and western perception all you want but it is a historical fact that Stalin had the blood of innocent people on his hands, as many world leaders throughout history have had (including most if not all us presidents). Even if your claims are true it still doesn't invalidate my point.

  • It's not a double standard though. Killing one person who was objectively profiting off of the lives and suffering of millions of people is very different than killing/imprisoning anyone who disagrees with you.

  • That's an untapped market!

  • Yea I did the same thing as you about 2 years ago. Gonna maintain and use this phone for as long as I possibly can before either betting another one or find a equally good or better solution that doesn't give money to google(and hopefully one with a replaceable battery)

  • My question may have been rhetorical, but not disingenuous. I firmly and honestly believe people should have access to information to help them make choices. If you care about objectivity then you should provide some hard evidence to prove your point instead of just telling people they are wrong. Feel fee to try proving what kind of "agenda" I could have by beleiving in free access to information while you're at it.

  • Yes people have the right to make shitty decisions. I'm sure you wouldn't disagree that people should also have the right to know how their decisions affect them so they can avoid making shitty decisions if they so choose, right?

  • Well they certainly won't win, but I feel like they will try at some point.

  • So they've already embraced and now they're extending. Give it a bit more time and they will start to eliminate.

  • Naw, they're too big to be real.

  • Yea looking at the picture its definitely already been processed by a video switcher and who knows what else and probably has the right aspect ratio in the broadcast production truck, you can tell because the graphics are squished in the same way as the video. That means its either the truck engineer or master control accidentally squishing it after the fact somehow.

  • That actually makes it funnier to me because ananas would be easier to pronounce in Japanese vs pineapple. Ananansu(u is silent) vs Painappuru.

  • not sure if it counts as a command, but i use the up arrow to scroll through previous commands like, almost every time I open a terminal.

  • Are sewing machines the new beans?

  • actually I found the joke to be funnier because it was litterally technically correct.

  • The meme is literally correct. when you make an audio file into an mp3, it takes some of the sonic information that our brains are bad at noticing and just...completely removes it(to save storage space). if it's a high quallity mp3 its essentially completely unnoticable. That's why it's psychoacoustic, it uses psychology to fool your brain into thinking it sounds better than it does, litterally.

    Psycoachoustic is basically just a big word for taking into account how our brains deal with what we hear.

    Also I'm not saying mp3 is bad, in fact I think the opposite is true. I think it's good to think of it like being the .JPG of audio, you're not getting the original quallity and that's the point and unless you need to do manipulate that audio file and its a reasonable quallity then you likely won't notice the difference.

    Ogg vorbis (.ogg) is a better codec though IMO.
