Thats a little bit got me hesitant to trust this.

All this guy does is think about war and war threats. Does that make him good at reading the room about war tensions? Probably. Does it also mean he is hypervigilant and overanalyzing every single thing and at risk of reading intent and threat into things where it isnt? Also probably.

Countries are always war tense somewhere, because someone is always pissing in someone elses pool. It doesnt always lead to war, especially when no one actually wants a war.

He had some weird medical issue that some people guess is cancer. But it just as easily could have been overly cautious covid protections for all the info that gets made public

You can only fuck by creating AI porn of the person you are trying to have sex with against their will? Are you a robot?

The people who think creating non consentual AI child porn is equivalent to sex need to spend time outside

Cant stop people from killing others with hammers unless we make hammers illegal guys

If my little cousin makes AI child porn, of anyone at all let alone a classmate he knows physically in real life, I dont think he should be allowed to kick his feet and go about his day.

Like… Making kiddie porn of your classmates is not excusable because youre a horny teen. Sorry, bud, its fucking not

I dont think you know what personal means, bud

“Its bad this is a proposal because uuh… Uuuh… Uummm, maybe it doesnt happen!”

Ok bud, you keep banging that drum. Im sure you will get the beat eventually. Because “it exists so it will happen” is totally what I said, and not “it exists so politicians will see the massive public support and know they will get votes supporting it.”

Because the death of roe vs wade definitely was well loved and supported by the masses.

You lumped yourself just fine, I didnt need to do any of that for you.

Having this proposal be brought at all is good news, full stop, because now its on the table as a thing politicians can push for to gain support. Being brought at all means even if it fails, it can be brought again with more political support after seeing the public reception.

Think before you fluster to blame biden for foundless bullshit.

Idiots will always find a way to make unflinchingly good news into bad news

Unless youre a banker?

Around here you cannot use coupons without assistance, and each one needs a 3 button confirmation sequence.

Did you get 2 or more of the discounted breads? Whoops, those gotta get individually checked to make sure you didnt secretly duplicate the coupon! Grab the meat that expires next week for tonights dinner, which gets a lil price slash to make sure it sells? Nope, sorry, that one also needs to stop the cart and call for help too.

None of this in a regular stand, those scan coupons like normal. I guess theyre afraid I know how to make these discount codes at home?

Half of our self check stands around town are empty too, mainly because they are seemingly perma broken

Who gives a shit, no one asked them

Oh, it was a fetish

That makes more sense

Oh, easy, we are functional cockroaches of survival.

Maybe we will be a different species by that point, but our descendants are still in many ways us.

Its not actually good, and many actually good art programs far outshine it.

So its lost what made it unique, by being comedically bad, and become the death knell of most things in a capital focused system; mundane.

Theres plenty of evidence that it causes inflammation, and your body cant break it down. So if it wiggles itself into a spot in your body that isnt easily flushed, its going to stay there causing inflammation basically forever.

On top of that, “microplastic” is a catchall term. Rubber dust from car wheels is a microplastic, that you breathe in any time youre within hearing distance of a road. All that rubber in your lungs, alone, cannot be good.

Thats not even thinking about all the other forms of plastic, or their degredation chemicals, or the films and chem linings they carry.

Or from tires, as they shred and grind themselves into a fine plastic compound so light it floats in the breeze off roadways.

You may as well consider it the lead of the 21st century.

Children in 3045 will be mockingly deriding us in history class for how flippant we were about plastics.

Do they not get shut down as a company if they continue collecting and selling data?

The first time you get caught, you give things back. The second time you are put to death. No?

So, they are heavily invested in this being a success, both financially and for the prestige of being first? To the point of likely costing someone a lot of money and maybe their job if they hadnt produced results?

The kind of situation where they would be tempted to tweak results a bit, perhaps?
