"An officer discharged his weapon"..."The driver of the vehicle was struck"

Quite intentionally using passive voice in that second statement as if the officer didn't intend to shoot the victim. This is murder.

    I know there has been some disappointment that they didn't go as hard in protest as they could have, but as a white man coming into my own understanding of privilege and platforming the voice of others, I wonder if it was intentional so that Bad Bunny's message would be heard louder. What are your thoughts?

    I like being able to navigate Boost one-handed, and it's convenient for me to swipe to close images. Sometimes, though, that swipe gesture is not fully recognized and the swipe-to-close function stops working for that image and I have to close it either with the back button or back arrow.

    I've linked a recording of the issue where the function works, and then I swipe either incompletely or maybe my finger leaves the screen mid-swipe, and all other swipes - while they are registered by the UI, do not close the image.

    Some sessions, it never happens. Sometimes it happens on my first swipe. Not that big of an issue, but it would be nice if it could recover gracefully from a bad input so I don't have to exert more effort than my lazy self has to. :)

    I mean you don't have to explain it to me. I just wanted to know what your stance is. I understand that there are ethical issues with using other artists work to create new forms of expression, but I didn't want to assume I knew what you were thinking. Like I said, I am just giving you a chance to explain what you mean.

    I appreciate that you provided your reasoning! I don't think AI fully reached the level of grotesque I had in mind, but I mainly just posted it to share a "what if" scenario mashing up this type of black humor with the gross out humor of my youth.

    Just to continue the conversation, what about me using AI made you want to downvote it?

    I love the original concept. I am not trying to steal anything from the original artist, but I was wondering what it would look like if the last panel was reimagined in the hyper-realistic style of those Ren and Stimpy or SpongeBob freeze frame shots where it's super gross looking. I plugged in the prompt to Gemini and this is what it generated:
