It’s like the Purple Heart all over again.

Though at the same time, it’s not really that much of a surprise, is it? The man loves gold-coloured things.

If enough of it is still around. A lot of the old spaces that used to exist aren’t around any more.

Plus things like YouTube and Discord aren’t banned, do chances are, they would end up there instead.

Github may be, strangely enough.

This one is damn near impossible to enforce for the sole reason of the word “deliberate”, the issue is that I would not support such a law without that part.

It would also be easily abused, especially since someone would have to take a look and check, which would already put a bottleneck in the system, and the social media site would have to take it down to check, just in case, which gives someone a way to effectively remove posts.

At the same time, it seems to be overstepping a bit to be classifying it as equal in severity as CSAM and terroristic content. People presumably aren’t being choked to death in the video.

In theory, they do, but the US not only doesn’t recognise the authority of the ICC, they have provisions for a military invasion of the Hague/Netherlands if a member of the US armed forces is tried in the ICC.

They’ve also had decades of experience to back them up. They’re not just a newly spun-up agency who’s been given a multi-billion dollar budget.

At the very least, we know that they’re chemically inert, but the current school of thought is that they might cause trouble as a result of that, by physically obstructing things, even if they don’t otherwise cause problems.

At the same time, she is also a public figure. If they had treated her well, they would have less of a leg to stand on. Whereas mistreating her just raises the question that if they are treating a relatively known public figure in that way, what happens to the less-known people, who don’t have as much of a platform to speak out on.

People are just like that in academic spaces.

Just rock up to any Edgar Allan Poe discussion forum and ask about the Orangutan.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have

Why is the description a snippet of Rule 3?

Eve if he suddenly no longer had influence over Tesla, he’s ruined their reputation enough that others have had time to catch up and make better vehicles.

They can demand it, but you can’t prove a negative.

As it turns out, there is a cricket emoji.

I was envisioning “improvised heart surgery” as in a stabbing with a knife, as opposed to any surgical function.

But generally, if a someone is having a medical emergency and is brought into the ER, or is having a medical emergency in the ER, they will be triaged, and put ahead of a lot of people whose care isn’t as urgent, for good reason.

Basically. If someone’s been on the receiving end of improvised heart surgery, they’ll be rushed ahead in priorities. So if you’re not having anything serious, the wait may be irritating and long, but if it’s urgent, it will be shorter due to the whole actively dying bit.

Trying to monetize the piracy of your users. That’s a bold business strategy.

Some time ago, never mind how long precisely, Plex were trying to legitimise themselves, by adding streaming from official sources, etc.

I would be curious if this is meant to be a deterrent, or just to look like one by making piracy expensive, so they can eat their cake and have it too.

I don’t know, photoshop exists, and it hasn’t stopped anything so far.

AI makes it easier, but may not do much to stop it.

Just look at Facebook, or the puff-jacket late pope. People do take AI-generated posts as the real thing so much of the time.

Especially since they’ve currently got a big, expensive war on their hands, that they’re all-hands-on-deck for.

And the insurance can boot you off, or refuse to cover you if you’re too expensive.

So if you got cancer, and had to spend a million dollars to treat it, your insurance could just go “okay, your treatment is too expensive, we’re not covering that, you’ll have to pay for this yourself”.

It used to be worse. Many years ago, they could outright decide not to cover some medical conditions of yours, deeming them to be “pre-existing”. So if you had diabetes, sorry, that’s a pre-existing condition. We don’t cover those.

Nail in the coffin is that Americans spend more money on healthcare, per capita, than most other countries, without marked improvement in care/outcomes.
