The very first ai-generated post was post #5197631 uploaded on the 15th of March 2022 Ai generated posts were banned on the 4th of October 2022 Putting that on a timeline gives:

That's probably more to do with the exponential growth of AI generator usage than anything else. The ban was established right as the "AI apocalypse" was starting. It would probably be 100 times worse than it currently is if they hadn't been banned.
That's one anatomical nightmare if you think about it, centaurs are already wonky but then add dragons wings or any wings for that matter on top of that all. It would make more sense to havethe wings on the horse torso but it also seems much more thin than with centaurs in general, and why are the hind legs so comically thick compared to the front.
I SEE YOU frieren:Kill yourself sauron *The ring destroyed next time*
Geez. I don't know a lot lore about lotr, but if making a crossed setting comparison, Frieren would be weaker than Galadriel. Galadriel would be like Series, and Galadriel didn't stand a chance against Sauron at all.
I find it bullshitting to think an elf mage can go toe to toe with an actual GOD.
Ehhh, not to jump into the frankly goofy nerd fight too hard (no comment on power scaling between a high fantasy and low fantasy setting, lest I summon Goku), but Sauron isn't a god. Because this is a Tolkien work, there is only one God and Sauron ain't it.
Sauron is the same being as Gandalf, though without restrictions on his powers handed down from on high.
Isn't Amtrak a complete joke compared to pretty much any European or Asian rail system? They must be desperate to put out something like this.
How many of those countries though have a major political party that generally hates passenger rail and any chance they get they try to defund and generally make life difficult to operate their national passenger rail?
Some quick google searches and running a comparison to the largest rail company in Europe, Deutsche Bahn, Amtrak is about 1/20th the size in terms of coverage, revenue, and employees. I don't think DB specializes in carrying passengers though, and the amount of actual rail that Amtrak owns and operates for it's own use is very small. At a guess, more than anything, Amtrak's problem might be that it's just too small scale while lacking integration in the rest of the US rail system. That maybe it's inefficient and inflexible?
Passenger rail is always a kind of tricky business. Cost has always been a hurdle. Even in Japan, at the beginning of their passager rail system development the "father" of it actually lied pretty badly to the government on how much building it would cost. If he hadn't, the naysayers would never have approved it's development due to the cost, but he felt the importance of it was such that they'd easily see in the end just how much of a critical investment it was in the end once it got going.
Personal opinion, America would be better off prioritizing bike-centered stuff first than public transit. As for reasons, bikes seem to fit the individualistic spirit of our people better (like customize them, you can go off-trail, etc.), and transit comes with a whole host of sociopolitical issues like property allocation or eminent domain, crime aboard fleet vehicles or stations, fare pricing, funding for maintenance and expansion, and whatever else. They've already updated and built new bike and pedestrian infrastructure in my locality, and so far I've seen more people using it (though it could also be because of summer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

Yeah, these people don't understand that we don't have anything better. Or if you're from NW Minnesota like me, literally nothing. Only rail here is freight.
