When I was a kid sitting in church daydreaming, already losing my faith, I would pretend that stories from the Bible were just misunderstood oral histories. Like what if humans were from another planet? Their polar ice caps melted causing the Earth to flood. A benevolent space fairing alien race stops by and saves them. The aliens explain what they’re doing but over thousands and thousands of years The history was blurred into what was eventually written down. It actually made it a lot easier to stay awake during service.

I agree with your analysis of her apology. I don’t think I’ve ever considered what makes an apology sound genuine. I’ve always thought of it as a gut instinct. Thank you!

Do you think that the publicity from this statement, would make a second, more genuine attempt at an apology sound like attention seeking? I wonder what kind actions she could actually take to mitigate some of the damage she’s caused. That’s a rhetorical question, I think.

Out of curiosity, what would accountability look like to you, in this case. Since she’s admitted guilt she’s likely to be held at least partially responsible for the crimes of others if it’s found her racist claim played a part in the crimes motivation. I assume she’s likely to lose her job as well, but we’ll have to wait and see i suppose.

The difference is this would be legal.

There’s no difference with a broken court and we can’t fix that with our current Congress.

I know you’re arguing against fixing stuff,

What the hell are you on about about? Like actually what. You need to call down with that nonsense. Why are you being so combative? I’m not even the person you were first talking to.

To my knowledge there has never been a federal judge removed in anyway other than impeachment. You would have to take an untested claim to court, prove it, then still to apply that process to remove judges case by case after. Unfortunately, it’s not us that gets to decide whether or not something is legal, it’s up to the “supreme” Court. I just can’t see us convincing 6 of those justices to accept consequences for their and their party’s actions. This would be a hell of a legal long shot.

They probably mean that we’re still not targeting the right people. Well, all of the right people. Millionaires are definitely still on that list.

A friend of mine actually does read along twitch streams sometimes between the radio show listen tos and casual games he also does. Most of the non game content is old Doctor Who radio shows and books.

Lich king is where I stopped. But once they started adding in all the heirloom gear in all the benefits for super easy casual players the game stopped being as fun. I’m saying this is someone who is a casual player too. It lost all challenge. I’d be fine with the dungeon queue system, if you at least had to be in the area of the dungeon.

Alternatively, and possibly almost as useful, companies will end up training their AI to detect AI content so that they don’t train on AI content. Which would in turn would give everyone a tool to filter out AI content. Personally, I really like the apps that poison images when they’re uploaded to the internet.

I believe it’s Chad and Stacy

You shouldn’t just be voting for the presidency and I mean, while you’re there you may as well for no extra effort. But otherwise, The popular vote helps show the opinion of the majority. It might feel like a drop in the ocean, but every ocean is made of drops.

Fuck you too buddy, and good luck out there!. <3

I’m fine with just the security updates until 2025. I’m sure I’ll eventually be able to move on to Linux by then.

No, no. But they’re certainly dead if they’re in front of me.

If the vice president kills him, and they become the president. Was it an official act making them immune?

As an owner of a plug-in hybrid this is patently incorrect. Most electric car owners have at most of 240 volt outlet (in the US), which while can fill your battery in a few hours from home, still falls short of the half hour round trip to gas station and back. Maybe with time our infrastructure and technology will get to that point though.

I feel like in order to be a political prisoner you would have to actually be in prison. You’re almost there, not quite. We’ll see if it comes full circle.

An unremorseful felon* (Not to split hairs)

I’m happy to say that I emphatically want better wages for service industry workers. IDC how much food goes up, or how many mega franchises have to close for it. Either better wages, or cause these these super franchises to close so mom and pops and open instead.

I also don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect businesses to give up a small portion of their infinite growth targets to actually cover their employees needs. Maybe a large departure from the past 50 years, but it’s absolutely something most of them can afford.

If a business genuinely can’t afford it, then I’d also be okay with my tax money going towards a business analysis for that owner to find a way to make it work. If they still can’t, then how long were they really going to be open anyway and what were they really adding to their community?
