    Does the source include information not in either of these two links?

    Anyone who actually feels good about Biden is delusional.

    Anyone who actually feels good about Trump is delusional.

    The fact that they will once again be our only choices is a tragedy.

    The fact that extremism rules both sides of the political landscape is a tragedy.

    And, sadly, this thread won't change a single thing about any of it.

    I guess thre must be some law that quantifies how many posts on a thread are posted before Trump gets drawn into the ruckus.

    You're being awfully vague, Don. What are you trying to say? 😁😁😁

    More seriously, I see this stuff all the time on Reddit, but I've never come across it in person, not even once. In any case, Don, if you don't like it, maybe try going somewhere that has a "higher moral" atmosphere, like miniature golf?

    I don't know anyone voting for Biden -- I only know people voting against Trump. That said, Biden has done quite a bit better than I expected him to do, but there are some key things that he didn't do that he should have done and/or did too little too late.

    Ain't that the sad truth.

    Extremism is, well, extreme, by definition. However, I think things like threatening to dissolve NATO are far, far, far more extreme than anything Biden has done, so the extremism is far from "balanced".

    For a fact. But it is entertaining, and are you not entertained? 😁

    There's a subreddit for that. 😬

    Can the people who derailed this discussion from useful to garbage get banned please? Their behavior patterns are pretty apparent at this point.

    You showed it here. Doesn't seem to be very 'cancelled' to me. Or are you suggesting that people shouldn't have the freedom to refrain from posting things that they think others might find offensive?

    You know we don't do that here. You'll only get banned for breaking the conditions of service, and even then you'll be warned nicely and invited to correct the error. The only people that have been banned here are those that insisted on posting material contrary to those conditions (which basically means legally questionable in decent jurisdictions) repeatedly even after being asked to desist.

    To you maybe. People are allowed to follow the discussion in the direction they want, so long as they keep to the conditions of service. We do mve things to the dumpster if they seem to be too much of a diversion - but this thread was following an overtly political agenda from the get-go, so it's not surprising that it went the way that it did.

    Research it yourself through the legacy media if you like, though they can/will create echo chambers that reinforce people's beliefs and shield them from challenging information.

    I was familiar with it before in any case, since I do have some experience in image processing. A (small) number of journals decided as an editorial policy not to use this as a test image any more. That is their right. No-one 'cancelled' the image. It's still available and can be reproduced, as you did here. It seems to me like a big fuss about nothing.
