You originally asked if we were going to suggest banning CATR, my point is mostly these books are great examples to help people identify this language and why it should not be used. If you went into a crowded theater and started shouting there's a shooter, you'd be arrested for inciting panic. Its not censorship when the point is stopping speech from causing physical harm. Same way your right to travel isn't infringed by requiring a license to drive

Yeah there are, but you'll never be able to stop people from spreading literature, legal or not, so things like catcher and the rye, mice and men, mockingbird, with all of their controversies are great to have in schools to help our children grow into adults who can identify this stuff for what it actually is and not some deranged gospel.

But then there's also a ton of other arguments to be made about mental health and all that, when it comes to violent psychos we shouldn't get in the habit of settling with a scapegoat

There is a very incredibly stark contrast between telling a story on a page and actually saying "we should hurt people"

[-] saintshenanigans@programming.dev 8 points 7 months ago

Yeah exactly, so strip the layers from this bullshit onion and don't let him have any excuses.

Realistically this can never happen because as soon as there's an announcement AP is going to have a trans scene, Its going to get dragged in every conservative group until the public opinion is that its gonna flop, regardless of content. Unfortunate cause it could be hilarious

I mean shifting responsibility over to social workers etc for some of their jobs rn will accomplish most of that, but yes, it's fucking insane how many war weapons they get to use on the people who literally pay for them, accountability definitely needs to be addressed as well

I'm no financial analyst and im no good at all of the legal jargon, but aren't the notes below this chart explaining they changed how they calculate this right around may 2020?

Like I said, I'm illiterate when it comes to the technical side of this stuff, so I just googled and from what I'm gathering from this article below, the fed changed the rules for what defines a savings account so they're almost the same as checking, and that caused them both to get reported in M1 and that's the majority of that surge of cash.

Feel free to correct me with better evidence, like I said again, I'm just trying to understand the legal wording here:

It doesn't matter what Christianity says. These piles of sub-human filth are just trying to keep America at its own throat so we focus on human rights issues instead of paying attention to the bills they actually care about.

This shit is all smoke and mirrors and at this point I don't think they're going to get the idea until the rest of us start acting real French

They don't care that you have a family. Executives commonly say things in their shareholder calls about "extracting more value" from people or something along those lines.

They don't care if it's one person or twelve, they just care that people are still buying their products, and that the revenue they gain with price gouging is higher than the revenue lost by people fucking starving and not being able to buy anymore.

Yeah I would need to see the "read more" here, all of these look fine but I'd never be surprised to see shit like cruise control or heated seats pop up on a paywall.

You should hear about the old lady who ran a local newspaper that published something the police chief didn't like so he had a raid done on the business and stole all of the computers, I think it was

Idc if it's an unpopular opinion, complaining about ai voices in games is one of the stupidest things I've ever in my life heard people get upset about.

You DONT want game characters to be able to intelligently respond to events in game and the things you do? What??

This conversation should be purely concentrated around how they compensate the actors for using their voice as an AI training tool.
