A community dedicated to the weirdest people involved in politics.
They were on the phone btw. Big ol iPhone 16 Pro Max up to their ear, barely paying attention to the road.
edit: if anyone has any foss camera apps they'd like to recommend, I'm looking to find something better than the stock GCamera.
Hey, I'm all for ragging on ridiculous Trump cult members, but when I zoom in like 85% of this picture looks like garbled AI gibberish.
It just looks like a combination of digital zoom, bad sharpening and low-quality JPEG.
it is exactly this.
It does doesn’t it? It’s like a weird mix of a potato camera and AI
I was like 2 lanes over and I have a Pixel A series so the camera is worse. So add that with shitty android digital zoom and u get something that isnt amazing.
Also just now noticing the Pixel camera app saves in JPG? wtf
I do swear this was a real car. I'm vocally anti-AI, and theres really no reason to post something on this community specifically that is made up.
Welcome to AI smartphones. We're settling for this crap to capture real life.
It reminds me of the AI experiment that generated a likely image based on your location and orientation.
Because it is, they decided that AI upscaling is a good "enhancement" to digital zoom.
jesus titty fucking christ.
There ought to be a name for this phenomena!
What do you think the odds are they bought that model car specifically for the name (Patriot)?
That would have to be the reason, as it's objectively the worst vehicle in the entire Jeep line.
That's because it's not a jeep. I forget what European brand it is.
Stellantis
Ouch
I would imagine pretty high unfortunately.
Lol, I thought some clever salesperson had created an aftermarket rear bumper specifically for the loonies. But Jeep actually made a whole car for them, even better.
We’ve been living in an open-air reeducation camp. The speakers droning the mantras are Fox, OAN, Limbaugh, Rogan, and any number of other sources all amplified by billionaire money.
Some conform all too willingly.
RIP in peace Limbaugh. If I ever hear the name again it will have been too soon.
I think a real re-education camp is what these fascist propaganda Riddled minds need. Hell, weren't the reeducation camps of the past were made to address similar types of reactionaries.
The fascists will build one for the gays, the libs, the college professors, and librarians first.
Don't fascists just build concentration camps?
That’s for the ones that don't make it through reeducation.
I wish ignorant blowhards could feel shame.
I think part of it is that they feel shame and interpret it incorrectly, not that I am trying to sympathize with it.
Do you think he chose that car because the model is 'Patriot'?
I've been using Open Camera (from F-Droid) for a long time now. I don't know if it's the "best" since it's been a while since I checked, but I do think it's better than the default camera app. (Where "better" means "capturing the output of the image sensor at the highest fidelity without fucking with it," rather than "producing the 'prettiest' oversaturated and AI-enhanced garbage to post on Instagram".)
Also, re: the one-finger salute: stop resisting the temptation; they fucking deserve it. Public shame is the only thing that's going to get these assholes to change, so you do society a disservice by not flipping them off.
I'd avoid interacting with the US lunatics on the road. People in cars get overly excited way too easily and the result can be unpredictable.
This is why I didnt, if it was just me I probably would have but there were other people in the car and I didnt want to endanger them
The ones in the rundown Dodge Rams seem to appreciate it the most.
Thanks for the suggestion, giving it a shot now :)
How much do you think they have to pay to keep a Jeep Patriot on the road and not stranded on the shoulder?
A tumor is often a sign that the cancer has metastasized.
“Censorship” is when you don’t report things according to this weirdo’s worldview, apparently.
