Because the media uncritically parrots the companies PR talking points and then it’s suddenly the accepted terminology.

Sir, this is a retirement home congress. They might break a hip.

This seems like satire, but it also sounds true.

It is vital that the peasants consumers use our AI to keep the Lords’ Shareholders’ happy.

It’s the billionaires and their special interests lobbyists who keep the politicians in their seat. They have their lobbyists threaten and browbeat the politicians with things such as attack ads and primary challengers to keep them working in their interests. Since the 1970s legislative transparency laws went into effect, The lobbyists can sit in on legislative committees to make sure the politicians are voting and speaking in their interests and not in the interests of the public.

The researchers at https://congressionalresearch.org/ claim that legislative transparency laws are root cause of many modern issues, like inequality, that the US is dealing with because they force politicians to work against the public interest and for the billionaires and their lobbyists.

Ah yes, the coloring on protestors’ signs, this is worse than a president wearing a tan suit. I’m so triggered.

Lots of these streams don’t show the commercials and instead just have blank airspace when the commercials are airing. But I don’t know if that applies to the superbowl streams though since some people like to watch those commercials.

Just speculating, but maybe it does something like where it checks the image against a CSAM database or something similar, so only images flagged in some government database get blurred.

Edit: or more likely it’s still in the testing stage and has to be enabled either by google or through some obscure setting.

It works that way for electric cars. You won’t find many BYD electric cars in the US, yet they are the top-selling battery electric vehicle manufacturer worldwide. Only thing stopping them from doing the same with this, is that it’s a tensy bit tougher to gatekeep information than a car.

I’d guess it’s because of the shape of the car structure. In a pickup bed the blast goes up. But if it was in a car or suv all the energy would go horizontally out the windows since there’s a roof stopping it from going up.

Of course, What is more humanitarian than defending the head of a genocidal colonial regime? It is common knowledge that the most moral way to deal with undesirables is to kill them. Democracies are so great that they get at least three free genocide passes.

What is a pubnix?

Edit: Short for Public access UNIX apparently.

I like it too. I wish I could compare it to current reddit, but I can only access it through old interface. And the current reddit is is too addicting to me to justify working around it.

I kinda hate that I like the sh version cause it will tempt me to sink time there.

Crimes of opportunity are not need based, they are want based. People take something because they want it and are unconcerned with the potential consequences of taking it. Even the cop quoted in your linked article admitted that 'Cars stolen for the purpose of committing another crime are not what’s behind the majority of thefts. ’

I would say my OC at least applies to the people who get caught. Maybe not always to those who actually do the crime.

I call it virtue signaling. It’s the same idea, just a clearer term for it.

Do those mythical organized thieves really exist? I think 80+% of crimes are crimes of opportunity done by vulnerable people like crackheads, mentally ill, or other low income people.

Politicians passing laws based on things they don’t understand?

aka virtue signaling

Uh … Yes. Everyone has an innate survival instinct. Sure in what seems like a shitty situation, life might feel hopeless temporarily, but I’d bet you’ll eventually adapt and get over the initial shock. I’m not sure what you mean by proper, but to me it seems like proper is just shorthand for what is profitable, useful, or easy to people with power.

IMO trying to make execution humane is kinda pointless. It is really just done to ease the guilt of those who participate and watch in it. If you participate in killing someone, you should feel guilty. That applies equally no matter if your carrying out a state-sanctioned murder or a street murder.

It’s not like it could be the hundreds of visual and audio assets that are packed into it to keep the graphics realistic and up to date.
