  • fresh is the biggest factor, and pretty rustic, honestly most US Americans would probably classify an authentic taco a form of salad. I’d recommend greens you like, onion, radish, and any level of chili pepper your comfortable with. as for masa A place I liked in Tijuana used to use a pancake dropper and just left it at that, no press, and grilled them to order, really just any masa you can find and water a little fat is going to be most recipes you find, but it can be challenging if you can’t find someone to show you how they make them.

    my generational divide is impossible to explain… look man, they faked their own deaths as a joke at one point, they said the point of their band was to evangelize a made up philosophy or new religious movement they invented that was about crying all the time, they were on comedy TV show. at some point Maynard was in a full on parody band before he met Adam, I assure you, you can’t take him seriously. the context of the statesmen your talking about he was saying all their fans were unwashed virgin idiots who wouldn’t leave them alone, but they were a band for just cool people only. he was being very sarcastic. it was a bit. I’ve seen the whole thing in context, he was clearly doing a bit. I could spend forever trying to explain the pre YouTube world and how Beck and Thurston from Sonic Youth did a whole TV interview being dumb and it was glorious because you know… they were in TV and TV was dumb and teenagers got that they were doing a bit and it was funny but when people TODAY see it they’re like ‘wait these guys are mean and they seem like they are dumb and suck’ and it’s like… no they were actually really cool, but you had to be there… maybe?



  • The only way to exit the USA as a state is revolutionary war and winning that war. for CA that would require all the military bases in CA to outnumber the rest of the country AND for all the personnel on those bases to side with and fight with CA or for some other military force to capture all those bases, than bases all over the US, at that point, winning the war would be totally destroying the US government and military, meaning CA would then become the ruling body of the USA, so the necessary methods won’t really meet the desired outcome, you can’t stop being a state, we fought a whole war about this, you can only exit with war, and winning means becoming the governing body of the US, so if CA really wants to leave, it’s gonna cost a lot of money and lives and it’s never going to work out the way you want it to.








  • it has all the markers, unless the corporations drastically restructure their debt or the product suddenly finds an actual demonstrable use, then it’s going to continue being a bubble. all that requires for it to burst is a large swath of people vested in the bubble to get itchy enough to pull enough money out for the value to be questioned or need to be proved, and AI currently is wildly expensive incuring huge amounts of debt, which is being passed around in a very quick and difficult to account for manner, and has no proven value that can be demonstrated as of yet. to be clear, by demonstrated value I mean you can pull out the paperwork and show where is currently profitable. so here’s the ad revenue, or here’s the government contracts, here the subscription payments, something. they are all operating at a loss and betting their entire companies that those avenues will be profitable eventually, but they aren’t currently and that’s with a VERY heavy hand on the scale, we already have the cost of data center power and water being charged to average people, total failure in providing value to military and police efforts, and people rejecting AI content as acceptable entertainment, it’s all a bust no matter how much they insist, and the application as a digital creative tool is unlikely, it’s jarring and can’t be consistent from one shot to the next causing the exact problems you train to avoid in serial art and animation. digital creative tools generally require a large effort and testing from actual artists in development to be even marginally useful in a production pipeline and AI tried to be useful without any input also with the hope it could simply bypass the people who do the creating, the problem is, it can’t, it can only look at what it sees, fail to identify basic fundamental art principals, and try and remix the art it can look at. look at any AI attempt to recreate cubism, it can’t, it’s totally confused by the concept of incorporating movement and primitive shapes into complex work.
