While his later years were definitely marked with controversy and dumb to the point of evil decisions, he made decisions in earlier presidencies that without a doubt were helpful. You gotta understand this time period was what bought him the credence he used to get people to trust his later decisions.
His use was that by his nature of wanting to create as much misery and mayham around the world as one person could possibly do, he created a lot of wealth for a lot of people attached to the military industrial complex.
One of my cats goes through the hairball motions occasionally, but I think he catches the hairball in his mouth and swallows it again because I never see the result
While your question is answered I’m still left wondering if part of your question was if you can have a circular face cam in OBS. You can have a cam layer be masked by any shape, so yeah, no problem.
The tl;dr is: just because you suck, doesn’t mean everyone else automagically does.
Here’s the thing about the power to stop time: if it doesn’t come accompanied by a lot of secondary-required powers (2RPs) , then it’d become so cumbersome and harmful in short order that your morals wouldn’t have time (stopped or not) to flush down the toiler in the first place. Plusminus the “if you’d do it, you never had high morals in the first place” argument.
Simplest cases:
No 2RP power to start time. Ooopsie there goes your life as soon as your start your first experiment.
No ability to transfer movement / moventum to things, including air, in stopped time. You could stop time to think over a plan, but not to take prep steps for it. Forget about going to bed to take a nap: even if you could move, the bed, the carpeting and the pillow would explode into plasma as soon as time resumed.
If time is stopped, that means you are blind, right? Photons going around are stopped, and they can’t interact with your body that way.
Breathing too, for that matter. Dragon Ball Z actually toyed with that idea with a character who could stop time but only while holding his breath.
Yaknow I just thought of one technicality that would make time stopping a very miserable super power. What if you are also paused. Or what is the physics of paused time. Like do you need time to make stuff move. If that’s also the case wouldn’t your clothes stop you from moving in paused time. That’s not even mentioning air is also mass. That needs to move to let you move about. Edit: also if mass doesn’t require time to move. What about energy. Would everything feel like it has a shit ton more momentum than normal. How tiring would walking be.
Don’t be anywhere near the center. Don’t make any arguments about corporations providing value. Don’t try to report violent tankie content. Don’t point out that lemmy is just going to end up like forums because of power mods and admins defeding people they don’t like. And don’t call piracy stealing. People really don’t like when you call them thieves.
The companies should make it nice and easy for us to watch everything in one place, in high quality, from any device, for nice and cheap! …oh, that was Netflix a decade ago ☹️
Pretty difficult to convince the likes of minds on Lemmy to pay $100 for every streaming service in the world - to get a pretty awful experience, when you can get a much, much better experience without giving up your hard earned $$
I will fly my flag high for the free seas 🏴☠️🏴☠️🚢
Know what you are doing and own it. You don’t like the means of distribution or price and you are stealing the right to distribution from them and very much taking money out of someone’s paycheck.
My position is I’ll pay for it within reason but at some point it’s ridiculous. Like I can’t really be bothered to pay for all of Apple TV just so I can watch For All Mankind it’s not worth it.
I don’t believe that and I patronize content producers. I think we can find better ways to reward inventors and creators, ways that don’t just benefit corps and the politicians they pay off.
I’m a little tired of everyone being such a doomer all the time tbh. No they wouldn’t, and The Boys isn’t realistic, it’s cynical. Maybe you believe you would start doing immoral things given this power, but that doesn’t mean that everyone else would. If the only thing stopping you from doing it was the potential consequences, then you didn’t have those morals in the first place; you always wanted to do those things, you just didn’t have the ability.
That being said, I would totally do things that are illegal but not against my own morals. Do you know what you could do with that kind of power? You’d be like Dr. Manhattan, the only superpowered individual in the world. Anything you want to be the case (physically), given enough time, you could make it happen. Whether your desires are good or bad, there’s really no reason not to enact them. TL;DR: Things go very differently depending on who gets this power.
