The Russians and their allies will look at this with skepticism. They will deny AI any credibility. They will call AI an American or Ukrainian or Western mouthpiece.

Russia’s enemies will use it for anti-Russian propaganda.

And when AI criticizes Ukraine or Israel or Germany, it is just the other way around.

These reports are of great value to people with a sense of justice, who have an informed opinion about what is happening in the world or who want to work to make the world a little better.

Unfortunately, such people are extremely rare in politics and the media. These people evaluate AI reports and their credibility based on whether they are useful or harmful to their political goals.

Emotional it’s a totally proportional response according to what the pranksters did to him. Humiliating people can easily provoke them to act aggressively. Especially people of low status who can’t afford a lawsuit. Every police officer knows that.

But of course a human society should have laws to prevent its members from this kind of situations.

It should be illegal to provoke, assault, harass, disrespect , threaten, or humiliate anybody in the way those pranksters did.

And it should be illegal for any random guy to carry a loaded and unlocked gun around in his pocket.

But because neither is illegal in the United States, the number of gun victims there is more similar to that in war zones.

And obviously none of the Americans in this thread give a shit about the social problematics of the case and rather fight irreconcilably over defending or blaming the shooter.

Just another reminder how stupid American laws on weapons are. In every normal country this couldn’t happen because that guy wouldn’t have a gun in the first place. It would have ended in a fight or in the shooter suing the prankster and getting a lot of money while the prankster would be told by court to stop this stupid pranks.

„The climate crisis is here already.“

No. A crisis is a temporary event that you enter and exit, strengthened by many lessons learned and challenges overcome, if you’re lucky.

The climate catastrophe, on the other hand, will inexorably and irreversibly turn our world upside down forever, will kill a vast amount of people and destroy trillions of material value.

The only question is whether we will manage to contain it to an extent that our civilization is not being destroyed to the ground. Every day we go on ignoring this fact is rising the risk of fucking this up completely.

It’s the people vs the shooter. And let’s be honest, eventually the people of the USA is at least as guilty of this and all the other crimes like this as the actual shooter.

This is a very fine comment.

At least that’s what the current hegemon says to the world.

You need less space when you can park backwards. Considering parking in a lane parallel to the traffic.

“Someone always looks like someone else.”

That’s so true. In Berlin, Germany, a boar became breaking news and public warning by looking like a lion!

How about Sean Connery?

That’s one of the purposes of a cover, you could achieve it without any design effort.

But that’s not the point, not the main purpose of a book cover. Your previous poster is right, the cover is advertising the book.
