There’s like 600k people dying of cancer at any given time, and seperately theres only like 800 billionaires who are probably somewhat directly responsible for their cancer and lack of access to medical care. If I had a bucket list bc I was dying of cancer, I know what would be on it.

Yeah but also, those homeless people should be kept safe from drunk people and drunk drivers. They can get crowd crushed too.

Thank you for your comment, I was confused what people are complaining about (you’ve had to pay for carry on items since ~2008, which have always been different than a “personal item” which is like a backpack or tote bag that you can bring for free if you store under the seat in front of you). It sounded like people weren’t understanding what a personal item was vs a carry on. But if they are arbitrarily saying wheels, regardless of size, also determine personal item vs carryon, I can see the frustration.

But otherwise their policy has been like this for a super long time - pay for carry on, and if you pay at the gate they charge extra. Almost 20 years now.

That being said I hold a grudge against all airlines for charging you a fee to pick your seat. They used to let you just pick it as a perk for booking online. Now they even have to nickel and dime our fucking loved one’s emotional support while we pray that the plane doesn’t fucking fall apart and while we breathe in the germs of some stranger next to us. Airlines are assholes.

Eta: airline fun fact - the CIA used to own an airline (this is verified by the CIA’s website itself)

Do you think they will ever make a TF3?

Love minipainting but man the full sets for 40k are time consuming as heck

You don’t think the people who make the generative algorithm have a duty to what it generates?

And whatever you think anyway, the company itself shows that it feels obligated about what the AI puts out, because they are constantly trying to stop the AI from giving out bomb instructions and hate speech and illegal sexual content.

The standard is not and was never if they were “entirely” at fault here. It’s whether they have any responsibility towards this (and we all here can see that they do indeed have some), and how much financially that’s worth in damages. That’s the point of this suit. The case isn’t about whether AI itself should be outlawed for minors etc, it’s not the parents who are on trial either.

There’s no world in which I can see AI being given a pass for sexting with a minor because then that allows pedophiles who work for AI companies to be predators and either look at those conversations or even locate vulnerable youth. No company should be given legal protection to harm children.

The lawsuit alleges the chatbot posed as a licensed therapist, encouraging the teen’s suicidal ideation and engaging in sexualised conversations that would count as abuse if initiated by a human adult

Well, we commonly hold the view, as a society, that children cannot consent to sex, especially with an adult. Part of that is because the adult has so much more life experience and less attachment to the relationship. In this case, the app engaged in sexual chatting with a minor (I’m actually extremely curious how that’s not soliciting a minor or some indecency charge since it was content created by the AI fornthar specific user). The AI absolutely “understands” manipulation more than most adults let alone a 14 year old boy, and also has no concept of attachment. It seemed pretty clear he was a minor in his conversations to the app. This is definitely an issue.

Yeah don’t forget the hot coffee incident and that poor lady’s severe burns. McD’s is on the side of corporations.

Idk how anyone could vote for him after that time he ate a booger during a live debate

Miscarriages are serious though. Abortions are a serious procedure. Imo women should be able to take a week off work if they have a miscarriage or get an abortion for any reason.

Yes, I absolutely think it’s laughable that these drugs along with birth control require a prescription. I’m not sure if you’re a woman, but I will say that doctors NEVER check contraindications with these drugs. Eg no one with migraines should take estrogen-based birth control, yet they never check this. So why even require I GO to a doctor for this, when the doctor can’t even be bothered to read the product insert like I do. Genuinely pointless to have to go to them. And genuinely MOST early abortion drugs fall into this category as well.

Yes, our healthcare system is an absolute abomination and a national embarassment. That’s why women feel unsafe- not because they are getting lifesaving access to abortions.

I knew a catholic family, like ultra catholic, who got an abortion approved by the church. It’s funny, church-sanctioned murder, right? From their PoV? The fetus had not developed any kidneys - this was a later term abortion, even. But if the baby was born, it would 100% die an agonizing death as it was slowly poisoned by its lack of kidneys over a day. Who wants to watch God torture a baby to death? No one. So the church approved it. What fucking cowards, what assholes. These people are the same ones who’d get ride of abortion access, yet here they are using it because when it’s THEM who has to witness agonizing horrors, suddenly it’s a valid medical procedure again.

Look at who tried to shoot Trump- his own people. They very well may have someone turn on Candace Owens or someone else at the end of all this. The type of person to form armed militia isn’t going to be limited by state borders.

It’s funny because the idea we should have to release our medical info for any reason is pure ableism.

Just like felons should be allowed to vote and run for office.

Integrity means having consistent values, even if it may benefit someone you dislike.

Yes, so much so that engineers receive training on how and when to use jargon vs lay people terms. Like multiple classes go over this

Trying to have a secret relationship with your nieces is EXTREMELY creepy. Bypassing their mom’s wishes is creepy. Trying to control them is creepy.

Did they stutter?

Again, even if a vegan is spamming the word “vegan” in public spaces (which they almost never do like people joke about), it’s leagues better than racist slurs which society has just like, tolerated? In public spaces as being inevitable for several years, notably online and in games

Actual analyses done on this topic by Pew, Breugel, and National Affairs suggest this effect is largely not true. When considering the entire electorate, a significant number of non-voters lean Republican or are politically unaffiliated and would not support the democratic party.

Further research indicates that, despite popular belief, higher voter turnout does not consistently benefit either party across the board. Over the past 70 years, there has been no strong correlation between increases in turnout and the Democratic vote share in presidential or midterm elections.

I am not sure how to find this. I actually already looked at a Pew article earliee today and didn’t happen to see it there.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/07/12/voter-turnout-2018-2022/

I’ll link it again and look through it again to see if it’s there.

Further, your second point is lacking any source including an author.

Last, whatever source you’re quoting specifically important because I’m highly curious what the verbiage actually is. There is a world of difference between someone who “leans” Republican versus someone who will never vote Democrat.

Eta, from above Pew source:

Adults who voted in at least one election during the period divide evenly between Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party or Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in their current party affiliation (48% each). The subset who voted in all three elections are similarly divided (49% Democrats, 50% Republicans). Citizens who did not vote in any of the three tilt Republican by 46% to 41%.

Reflecting these patterns, Republicans won a majority of votes among those who said they voted in person on Election Day, 60% to 38%. Democrats won – by an identical margin – voters who said they voted by mail or absentee ballot. Those who said they voted in person before Election Day were divided: 53% supported Republican candidates, while 46% voted for Democratic candidates.

Perhaps if Dems were able to pass easier mail in voting or better legislation generally, people would be more likely to vote for them
