Autumn is awesome, it’s nicer out with no forces of nature used against anyone

Hurricane season would like a word with you…

He is still a scientologist and responsible for the suffering of hundreds if not thousands of people. Tom can eat a gun for all I care.

It’s because there is no punishment for spreading false information. These cunt celebrities and politicians spread their fucking lies and if they are found out, they make an empty apology that reaches 1% of the people that they lied to, and it’s all forgive and forget. Fuck all of that. Every anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-education cunt out there needs to be strung up from the societal rafters. They have to be made an example of. At the bare minimum they should be doing tours helping to correct the lies they have spread, spending time on social media and running commercials like fucking community service hours. There has to be a punishment for this shit.

Ideally, you wouldn’t have to write a law for it, and the people would be held accountable by others. That’s a BIG wish, though, and I’m a realist–it’ll never happen. Instead, if it were written into law, it would have to be done the same ways that libel and slander laws are written, and there would have to be a criminal trial for it. I understand that up front that seems like a lot of extra work for the courts, but if the punishments were severe enough, then hopefully we would see an outright reduction on it.

Some precedent for it would be libel laws as previously stated, false advertising laws, and public health laws like what Germany has instituted (NetzDG) that required social media to remove false health information within 24 hours.

And just to make it clear, I don’t want to infringe on anyone’s right to free speech, but just like libel and slander laws, when that free speech damages others, then it has to be curbed. The scientific evidence is there for things like the mask mandate and the efficacy of vaccines, we just have to prove it in court and punish those who are guilty of spreading that false information.

I’m not saying that the idea is perfect by any stretch, but we also can’t be beholden to what ifs. If we give up before we try because we might see failure down the line, then we might as well just start drinking bleach to cure our illnesses. Science can be proven. Mask mandates weren’t a hypothesis. Vaccine efficacy isn’t a hypothesis. If we get to where people in power are buying facts and we can no longer prove a truth in court, then we are beyond “mis-information” already.

Information and art is meant to be shared and enjoyed.

And sometimes art and information is released for free and you are more than welcome to enjoy that for free, but when the artist asks for a payment for services rendered, and you refuse payment but still use their services, you are breaking a social contract (and a legal one, as well). To not pay for services rendered is illegal. If you want to use something, whether you are renting a car for the weekend, or you are using someones art for entertainment, if they require a payment for the service you use, you are obligated to pay for that service if you use it. If you don’t want to pay for it, then don’t use the service. You aren’t owed a video game, movie, book, textbook, or newspaper anymore than you are owed a rental car. If you use a service, you pay for the service, even if the service is entertainment.

I thought it was solid ground on the first drop. Looks like fun.

Shhh, you’ll spoil the narrative.

Motherfucker.

Facts. A pepperoni slice is what I judge a pizza place by. If you can’t get that right, I don’t care what crazy ingredients you shoved on the rest of your pies.

I really hope Trump snags him for VP so we can have a completely tone-deaf slogan like, “Pick Cotton” or “Black Voters Love Cotton.” I mean, the satire writes itself.

Live Nation also added in the filing that they did not believe the data hacking would have “a material impact on our overall business operations or on our financial condition or results of operations.”

I ran that through some translation software and it came back: “The only people affected are the ones we don’t care about.”

I don’t, but I also don’t remember anyone’s name, either, so I might just be expecting the same treatment. If anything, it’s just awkward because the other person is being apologetic about it, not realising that in about 5 seconds I’m going to ask them the same question…

chemical_cutthroat, 10 days ago

Weird, they don’t have “My most recent attempt at a 401(k)” in there…

There is one dude with a Windows 8 laptop that turns it on once per month just to take this survey.

Peanut butter stouts are some of the most disgusting, vile, sacrilegious beers on the planet. We should be boycotting them. What is the name of the brewery that created this filth? Specifically, what brewery? And do they distribute to Oregon? I’ll buy them all so no one else has to suffer their creamy sins.

Lmao, I was so busy looking at the can art for a logo I never even looked at the glass.

That’s because the 2024 model will lose 80% of its value after the first year.

I have never read a headline that connected with me on such a deeply visceral level.

When McConnell bites it, I’m walking out of the kitchen at work and into the bar and buying everyone a round, along with myself. That will truly be a day of celebration.

Is that a euphemism for vigorously masturbating? Because I am.

This is a psychic blumpkin. I am metaphysically shitting and orgasming at the same time. I feel so cleansed.

There is Paul Graham saying exactly the opposite.

Arguments can be made that Altman is making threats behind the scenes and forcing people to say nice things about him under duress, but 700 people from OpenAI signed a petition to bring him back as CEO, and only 3 wanted him gone. 700 people is a lot to quietly threaten, and none of them have come out to Toner’s defense as she continues on her crusade.

I’m sure Altman has his own list of sins, everyone does, but I really think that he, and OpenAI by association, are constantly under attack in our new era of corporate warfare. You no longer need to sabotage the actual company, you just have to poison the well so that funding and potential employee base dries up, which is exactly what is happening with the constant stream of attacks against OpenAI. AI is the first quadrillion dollar industry, and OpenAI is the leader. It’s not just companies that want a piece, its entire countries. Look at how the US has to deal with election interference and then look at what goes on against OpenAI. You’ll see the patterns.
