You just need to go around the world fast enough that it's always one time.

If Microsoft controlled Android, Your phone would be using 60% of your bandwidth to constantly send screenshots of your screen to Microsoft with a 'feature' called something like Personal Protector which would have been rolled out in a mandatory update with the only way to disable it being to type in obscure search terms, navigate thru 6 submenus, and withstand layers and layers of coercion telling you you are harming yourself if you disable it. If you do reach the disable option, it is only available on Android Professional Edition and, if you do have Android Professional and touch disable, every 5 minutes afterward there is a notification sound that plays over anything you could be doing, tabs you out, and a popup covers 1/4 of your screen warning you you are unprotected and to reenable Personal Protector. Also it doesn't actually protect you. It just sends your information to Microsoft.

I keep reading reviews of how horrible it is they switched the guy who did the songs in Moana 1 for the 2 girls who did the songs in Moana 2. After listening to alot, NUH UH. It is exactly what the Moana2 composers said about their songs growing on people. The specific difference is Energy. The Moana2 songs are Good and Empowering. The Moana1 songs are not except the Horizon one, which is beautiful. But I don't identify as a murderous giant crab addicted to shiny nor a deceptive braggart, so, while they may sound audibly well put together, the energy is off in Moana1 songs. I can almost smell the gender stereotype identity stuff with middle aged famous male composer songs being 'i need shiny things and will attack you' and 'youre welcome for being this awesome whilIe i decieve u', while the 2 up and coming girls have purely songs for protagonists that are like "destined for greatness go!" "think different to get extra far" and "you can do it x2". So to me, being a protagonist, I can find the first Moana songs wellwritten, but only the Horizon one repeatable. Moana2 does not have this problem and whichever song someone attaches to is healthy. I personally love "Get Lost".

But also I know the norm is to not care about that stuff and people say horrific movies done well are "good" while, to me, that they are horrific makes them "bad". I assume it's this same difference in values that causes the majority of reviews to say Moana2 songs are worse than Moana1 while I think the opposite. Moana 1 songs could be way darker and reviewers would still say they are better than Moana2. Meanwhile, I think about myself or the child singing them, listening to them repeatedly, and Moana2 is 100% healthy while Moana1 has some healthy ingredients but also artificial colors known to cause cancer. Thus Moana2 songs > Moana1.

Never learned how to make as beautiful people as on Beautiful People for all my SDXL and SD3.5 dabbling.

Ok was reading a post somewhere else and came across someone saying how trump likes tariffs too much, which is not the first time i have heard tariffs frowned upon. I have always been of the opposite opinion and I guess would also 'like tariffs too much' so please enlighten me as to why they are bad.

My view:

I like to visualize the flow of wealth and whether wealth is flowing in to or out of an area. When I researched Fredrick the Great, he had become 'the great' thru making Prussia wealthy, and he had done this by freeing up and empowering local producers while limiting... thru tariffs... goods externally produced. This makes total sense to me. Prussian producers then pull wealth in while foreign producers no longer pull wealth out.

Another parallel is when developing countries have farmers that cannot produce goods cheaply enough to compete with the oversubsidized foreign goods flooding their market and, because their government does not tariff up the prices of the foreign goods, the locals get thrown in to poverty. These two things have always, to me, implied the role of tariffs is to prevent wealth from being drained out of an area and, as a byproduct, divert business and thus success inward instead. Because this helps local prosperity, I, I guess similarly to Trump (?), have historically viewed tariffs as generally a 'good' tool.

So please, explain where I'm wrong, if I am, and why tariffs would be bad. thank you

Learned about this so I just watched it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_at_Lake_Changjin

from wiki:

"commissioned by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party"

"the most expensive film ever produced in China"

"the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time"

"the highest-grossing non-English film"

"70,000 People's Liberation Army soldiers acted as extras"

"a tabloid of the Chinese Communist Party, said that "the national feeling displayed in the film echoes the rising public sentiment in safeguarding national interests in front of provocations, which has great implications for today's China-US competition.""

"former Chinese journalist Luo Changping was arrested by police and held on the charge of "infringing the reputation and honour of national martyrs" after multiple police reports were filed over his online post in Sina Weibo, where he posted commentary questioning China's role in the Korean War"

Some screenshots i took:

Anyway, found this interesting from a global politics standpoint. Makes me feel slightly like China is prepping the sentiment of it's people in case of conflict with the US and, should World War 3 roll around, China's military decisions will already have the support of it's people.

The scale is just crazy; like if all America was 100% ruled by a single party with a straightforwardly named "Media Propaganda Department" which then funded "the biggest american movie ever" as a piece to instill national pride showing Russia and China as badguys and beating them. I guess that China can do the equivalent is one of the abilities their more united government, with less transient rotating positions, can do.

Anyway, I had not known about this at all until yesterday and find it more interesting than common movies because of the scale and propaganda aspect. Maybe you will too.

Also, generally feels to me like the American top dream is becoming "be on the boards of multinational corporations" and generally losing patriotism specifically to America while it looks to me like Chinese patriotism growing; just my perspective.
