Now lift it up 11 more times. You’ve done a set… do it four more times, move on to the next object.

(I think OP is more talking about thinks you can’t bring to a scale)

Four scholars… I’m pretty sure we can find four scholars to agree with pretty much anything, but go on. Appeal to authority is still a logical fallacy.

It’s not for the courts to decide.

Ok, so hey, Biden said something that sounded seditious… I guess we’ll bar him from running for office… oh don’t worry about it, just trust me he said it…

See why it IS a matter for the courts and not just something random people should be allowed to decide? Or again, do you want this to be wielded as a weapon in the next election against politicians you favor… Because it will. Legally prove him guilty before banning him, otherwise you look like he’s something to fear, and that will only bring more support to his side… but hey, you know I’m sure this will ONLY matter this one election and never be used again or weaponized… That’s exactly how things like this work, right?.. right?

If you were devoted to democracy and the constitution, then you’re remember that in this country there’s a presumption of innocence, as well as right to a trial. But I mean you must know that since you’re so devoted right?

And thinking I’m a Trump supporter because I simply want him to legally be found guilty before we bar him from public office… I guess if you aren’t completely on your side, then you must be an enemy, kind of a shitty way to live your life, but you do you.

Again that’s for the courts to decide, not random posters on the internet.

Once He’s convicted, you’re correct. But no what “Nougat thinks” doesn’t matter.

Yeah… This would be one of the worst things possible.

The idea you could take someone to court to disqualify them means you’re allowing the courts into politics.

But hey I already see people here celebrating this because “Fuck Trump” Right? Yet don’t see they’re creating a new loaded gun that can be turned against them in the next election…

And before someone says “Four cases”… any bar would be able to be met by a politically motivated group, but again you do you, just realize shit like this has long lasting repercussions.

Trump is, along with many co-defendants, disqualified from holding any civil or military office.

Want to prove that? Last I checked he’s not been found guilty of any crime?

Would you support this if it was Biden or Hillary in the same legal situation? How about we respect the judicial proceeding and stop trying to jump the gun, before it’s made into a political maneuver?

“… no it won’t”

Man so it really learned from us, that’s great. Has me laughing again considering that.

LOL. ChatGPT has become the newer version of wikipedia, only it won’t provide references.

You know unless we teach more critical thinking, AI is going to destroy us as a civilization in a few generations.

Oh I totally misunderstood/misread that. Sorry.

That’s fucking dumb as shit, agreed. Then again that gives me an excuse to go home ASAP.

I don’t have a problem with this. My office made this rule too, basically you chose hybrid, in person, or full remote. I went full remote. I don’t have a desk at the office, but I’m not required to come in. When I go in there’s hoteling offices, meaning I get an office to work, and theoretically if I went in for a week, I can leave my stuff there, but after that week, I take my stuff and go home.

4 days every two month is WAY too low to maintain an office for a person. Heck even 2 days a week is borderline. Companies want to reduce their floorplans, and that’s reasonable if they allow full remote, as long as full remote means full remote. (not required to come in)

Not far enough. It’d be lovely if I could scale Windows down to almost 7 gigs or so (what windows 10 is, probably should be lower) But the thing is Windows in general is just a bloated piece of crap that continues to grow.

I would love to see/feel Windows is reaching the point where it’s a small program with tons of optional programs, but god damn, I’m so sick of these bloated fucking OSes.

Android now takes 20+ gigs, Windows takes massive amounts of hard drive. And I know someone will say there’s a way to configure it, but the amount of bloat that people just accept on programs is insane.

It’s silly when Call of duty Warzone requires 150 GB, it’s a bigger problem when windows continues to consume more and more memory with out a good reason other than pushing new products and services most customers don’t want/use.

Ask yourself if the American government had the ability to talk directly to the Russian populace with no interference from their government, what might they say/do/cause to happen.

That’s what Tiktok is, and that’s what a lot of the fear is about. It’s know that all Chinese companies have heavy connections to the government, so if they wanted to do something they could.

Not even saying Tiktok is that bad, mostly just saying Americans, especially the government is a bunch of fucking hypocrites about this shit.

Honestly, keep it to “If you don’t like it don’t use it” and leave it at that. The idea of the government picking what social network people are allowed on seems foolish, and I imagine many people will side load the app (At least on Android) if it’s officially banned.

And almost half of Americans favor banning the free speech of the opposing view points (Which ever party they aren’t). So this is not a shock.

LIght a fire.

Two possibilities, no more Racoon, or a delicious flame broiled Racoon.

Shit I forgot “Racoon drops out of the chimney, lights tail on file, runs around house like a racoon with a tail on fire, and burns down your house…” so three possibilities

Is anyone surprised?

We knew they could do automatic captions (Don’t know why don’t offer that standard any more). We know they monitor what’s in the video, meaning the words. We know this was an automated system.

I don’t even think there’s an ounce of anything new here to anyone who has been paying attention.

Ahh one of those “We’re mad and we don’t have anyone to be angry with.” style lawsuits. Pretty much the Hail Mary from a lawyer who is getting their name in the paper but knows it won’t go anywhere.

“Easy to remove gun lock” that has been tried multiple times and usually fails. “Gun lock” doesn’t seem to be related to assault weapons and large capacity magazine but who knows what they mean, even when a gun is “Easily modifiable” it’s usually not treated as illegal, because someone has to actually make those modifications. The same will probably be the case for the kevlar. (at the time of the shooting it was legal).

Youtube contributing to radicalization is a laugh, it’s an attempt to get their name in the papers and will be dismissed easily. They’d have better chance to name the channels that radicalized him, but first amendment rights would be near absolute here. Besides which “Radicalization” isn’t the same as a conspiracy or orders. It’s the difference between someone riling up the crowd until they’re in a fervor which ends up in a riot, and someone specifically telling people how to riot and who to target. (Even if can be tried as crimes, one is a conspiracy, one is not, and even that “radicalization” would be neither.) Even “I wish someone would go shoot up …” would be hyperbole, and thrown out as well. It’s pretty hard to break the first amendment protections in America (And that’s a good thing, if you think it’s not imagine if the other party is in power and wants to squash your speech… yeah let’s keep that amendment in place).

The same will be the case against Facebook for all the same reasons.

If you think Google should be responsible, then you think the park that someone is radicalized in should be responsible for what’s said in it, or the email provider is responsible for every single piece of mail that is sent on it, even though it might not have access to see that mail… it’s a silly idea even assuming they could even do that. Maybe they’re hoping to scare Google to change it’s algorithm, but I doubt that will happen either.

The case against the parents is another one that people try and again… unless there’s more than their saying, you still can’t sue someone for being a bad parent. Hell there’s a better case against the parents of Ethan Crumbley, and even that cases is still pretty shaky, and involved the parents actively ignoring every warning sign, and buying the kid the gun. This there’s nothing that seems to be pinnable on the parents.

You know it sucks and I know there’s a lot of hurt people but lawsuits like this ultimately fail because it’s like rolling the dice, but history pretty much shows this is hoping for a one in a million chance that they get lucky, and they won’t, because it’s one in a million, and then they’d have to hope it’s not overturned even if they do win.
