  • Male birth control breakthrough safely switches off fit sperm for a while

  • It's medical ethics, not the Hippocratic Oath. Most doctors swear to an ethical standard. Besides, "first, do no harm" is a bit unhelpful if you're a surgeon.

    Otherwise you're right, the risks of pregnancy outweigh the side effects of birth control, which is why birth control for women doesn't have as high a standard for mitigating other consequences.

  • Well you literally can't enforce it. Take surgery, for example. In surgery, you must first do some harm so that you can do significantly more good.

  • I was very similar, heavy Reddit user that quit over thr 3PA shitshow last year. Not sure if you've noticed the same effect, but my attention span has gone way up.

  • US man arrested for allegedly throwing pipe bomb at Satanic Temple

  • Well, yes. Allegedly. He's not convicted, just accused. It's almost definitely him, but he's not been determined to be guilty yet.

  • Every instance gets to decide on its own, there's no set of rules governing the whole thing. That's why I stated this is my opinion, not some hard and fast rule.

  • So your argument is if the regulation isn't perfectly applied to every possible instance of a potential violation simultaneously, then it should never be applied? How does that make any sense?

  • For example, I'm personally of the opinion that instances should be allowed to federate until they prove themselves to be bad actors, but in Meta's case there's a lot of existing evidence that shows they shouldn't be allowed to federate in the first instance.

  • Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art"

    Jump

  • Mate, that's not art, that's coding. Congratulations on learning a new coding skill and how inputs can affect outputs. Frankly, it's barely coding, it's adding degrees of specification so a program can do all the work. I get that it took you a while to learn what all of it means and how it works, sort of, but something being hard to do doesn't make it art.

    And don't cheapen photography by comparing it to generating an AI image. There's physical labor involved in photography on top of composition and patience.

  • But they still probably use buses on occasion. Also, it's not exactly hard for a passenger to step through the little doors to the stairs at the end of the jetway, chuck a coin, then continue boarding.

  • Just to explain why, not to take from your broader point, it's because he's not of the people being harmed. Typically this form of protest is done by those being harmed.

  • There's typically reason to suspect the account owner first. They're not trawling through random accounts, law enforcement doesn't have the time or authority to do that. Note that intelligence agencies are not law enforcement, I'm not talking about what some spy agencies might do.

    Since this is law enforcement, typically you don't have a verdict to rely on, but they'd have a warrant or subpoena to get the necessary evidence to further the case.
