It's so fucked up. Imagine you went to vaccinate your kid and the doctor lied to you, injected them with saline. Then you go out believing your kid is immunized.

Those people should definitely sue the fucker and his employer in civil court for child endangerment. If you can't get justice then at least take everything he has. Also that way Trump and his cronies can't let him get away with it again.

So it seems they are being charged for altering their own algorithm. According to this article: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-opens-criminal-probe-into-x-for-algorithm-manipulation/

Magistrate Laure Beccuau said in a statement Friday that prosecutors had launched the probe on Wednesday and were looking into whether the social media giant broke French law by altering its algorithms and fraudulently extracting data from users.

"X stands accused of the 'alteration of the functioning of an automated data processing system by an organized group'

This would be the interference charge.

'fraudulent extraction of data from an automated data processing system by an organized group.'

This would be the illegal gathering of user data charge.

Also a thing to remember is that while the US has Section 230 which protects sites like Twitter (never gonna call it X) from being responsible for what their user post, that is not the case in countries outside the US. Other countries can hold Twitter responsible for things their users post on the website.

As for my interpretations it seems the French government seems to think that Twitter has modified their algorithms to influence public opinion to affect elections or for other purposes.

I hope I'm wrong too. We'll see.

The biggest fear I have about this is that even after this is all over there will be no justice for these people.

If Democrats win they will mumble something about "political unity" or how it's "time to heal" or some equally vapid shit and move on. There will be no Nuremberg trials for these fascists and this will all be added to the list of American atrocities that conservatives like to rail against being taught such as the Trail of Tears, slavery, segregation, Gaza genocide, Japanese internment and so on. To quote the fascist in charge: "when you're famous(powerful) they let you do it".

I would love to be proven wrong but the historical track record is not making this look likely.

I did it like 10 or so years back? It was pretty easy to be completely honest and didn't require too many resources, at least not if you're the only one using the server. You just run the server locally and then use the client to connect to that server. That's basically it.

And no, the game comes with all the quests and everything, you don't need to really do anything else. The downsides is that you'll be locked out of a bunch of content like dungeons and raids since those require groups of 5 or more players.

He's an Abjuration wizard. His opposed schools are alteration and illusion meaning he can't turn you into a girl or make you look like a girl.

Funny how God punishes little girls in Texas for the sins of gay people in California.

The North Sentinel people are not actually fully isolated. They had contact with colonial authorities in the past (the British went on the island and even kidnapped some of the locals they found, an elderly couple and 4 kids. The couple died not soon after and the kids were sent back) and there was some peaceful contact with Indian anthropologists up until 1997. The 2004 earthquake and tsunami affected the island pretty badly and disturbed their fishing grounds but aerial survey of the island confirmed they survived and adapted to their new conditions. Most contact after that has been met with aggression most theories I heard about why assume it's because of contact people fishing illegally in the area or an epidemic on the island after one such contact.

The Indian government considers it illegal to contact them and will punish anyone who does it. That one American preacher that landed on the a while back was eventually killed by the locals and his death was ruled a murder but the Indian government didn't push for anyone to be prosecuted. The US government also didn't push for prosecution. So yea the Indian government wants them to be left alone.

My personal take on this is that if the North Sentinel Islanders wanted to be in contact with the rest of the world they could. They are not very far from other Andaman islands and they could build a raft or a canoe that could reach them. The fact they haven't done so means they don't wish to be in contact with other people. It's their choice to be isolated and it should be respected.

I'm more surprised that he reads. I thought he was basically illiterate lol.

It may be the Greatest Depression. People are saying they have never seen a bigger Depression.

Was the cannibal named Hannibal Lecter? Hannibal the Cannibal?

Musk definitely depends on government contracts for his companies. If Trump cancels those all his companies will take a big hit which in turn will take a big chunk off his net worth which is propped by shares in those companies. If his net worth substantially goes down he may run into issues getting credit which will affect him directly. Elon Musk uses his stock to take loans to fund his personal expenses among other things.

No he couldn't. Trump would cancel his government contracts. Musk already backed off pretty fast when he threatened to do that last time he ran his mouth. If he kept going then Trump would just deport him, he even has the pretext for it if he wants to use it.

The second most likely outcome is a fracturing of Trump’s opposition, further weakening their ability to impede him.

Why would MAGA follow Elon Musk? Better question. Who would even follow Elon Musk? He's hated by one side for being a literal Nazi and the other side for for going against Trump. I guess he still had his tech bro and crypto toadies but those people aren't really a reliable voter base.

Well of course they don't want to shut down their "humanitarian" foundation. What else are they going to use to bait Palestinians so they get gunned down?

Small government only when the conservatives institute Christianity in school, ban abortion and sexual education and rob their constituents of everything they have.

Big government when conservatives need to oppress minorities, fight wars in the Middle East and deport people.

Well of course. He's charismatic, young and he talks to the people he wants to represent. He's the antithesis of everything they are.

I had the same reaction. The US has two parties, a far right one and a center right one. There are some center left members in the Democratic Party but the rest of the party sure tries to smother them any chance they get.

Yeah I had to check the date. Didn't he already say the exact same thing before?

Well now they know they won't be safe unless they have an atomic bomb so of course they're gunning for it.

Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is getting close to the bomb for like more than 10 years now. Iran was willing to negotiate on their nuclear armament but Mr. Deal maker fucked that up too and now they feel cornered. And you know what they say about cornered animals.
