  • This is true, but it's praise by faint damnation

  • There's a youtube video I saw years ago that I think about all the time. In it there are some guys who've modded a truck to roll coal (spew tons of black smoke) from two large exhaust pipes. Two of them stick their heads in the exhaust pipes for an extended period of time, their faces ending up completely covered in black soot. I remember they had big shit eating grins. It's clear they think they are somehow triggering the libs, and, in a sense, I guess I was triggered? I wish I had thought to bookmark it or something, because I haven't been able to find it since. It feels so emblematic.

  • I WANT ROOM SERVICE!!!

  • Suffers from the same problem. In your analogy, fixing the root problem doesn't also fix the systemic problem. In reality, if we fixed the media, dem party, shored up labor, etc, Trump would be powerless.

    Again, I'm all for getting Trump out of power. I just don't think there's a shortage of people motivated to do that, but there is a huge shortage of people who understand he's just a symptom.

  • This analogy doesn't work. If we fixed the root problems (a feckless dem party, billionaires poisoning the media ecosystem, etc), Trump wouldn't have the power to be a problem anymore. But I'm all for getting rid of Trump; he makes the root problems worse.

  • if it pleased GOP

    Or if Dem leadership had a spine

  • imagine if no one documented the atrocities of nazi germany

    This article isn't documenting the atrocities of ICE, it's uncritically repeating what ICE is saying about the atrocities

    1. You are 100% correct.
    2. Cops still say they are afraid.
    3. I think many cops are afraid regardless of the facts. I mean, you have a bunch having panic attacks because they are in the general vicinity of fentanyl.
  • Cops say they are afraid for their safety. In other news fork found in kitchen

  • I mean, the elephant in the room is the blatant licence violations orchestrated by LLM vendors. If your codebase is GPLed and serves to feed a LLM, it should extend to all the code produced by that LLM.

    This seems so obvious to me, but this is the first time I've seen this argument in the wild.

    But I guess the AI companies are basically arguing that copyright doesn't apply to them at all, so it's moot.

  • It's common in the US, too. It's probably a reference to Matthew 27:50, which in the KJV says "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost"

  • I totally agree

  • Retaliatory arrests are generally not considered violations of the first amendment according to Nieves v. Bartlett (and you can thank Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer for that). However, even under that broad rule, she might have a case:

    a plaintiff can succeed on a Section 1983 claim if they can present objective evidence that other similarly situated individuals who were not engaged in protected speech had not been arrested

    and according to the article,

    "I was the only person arrested out of roughly 200 people - and it happened immediately after I finished speaking about Venezuela," she said.

    so let's hope she does.

  • Okay.

  • We'd need AI for an AI takeover, so we're safe on that front

  • This mf said in in

  • So you’re pretty much stating that you’re pro fascist if you’re against communism

    Even if it were true that communists only killed fascists, this would not follow

    And yes, it’s the communists who ... defeated the German fascists

    They deserve credit for this, but they also deserve blame for their earlier cooperation with fascist Germany
