I wonder how many of those people were a legitimate threat to the police officers' safety such that literally no other method of restraint was possible?
Injecting someone with a high, potentially lethal dose of sedatives seems like a tool that should be used sparingly with up most care, yet these deaths prove they're doing no such thing.
Yeah - this is what I was thinking. We all heard about people being unable to delete comments or Reddit keeping comments even after account deletions back during the first migration, so what stops them holding onto comment history - and what stops them using that to teach llms to discern poisoned data from real data as @pixxelkick said.
No offence to you, but that doesn't always have to be true. When the going gets serious, of course it has to be political, but one can certainly joke around and have fun without things turning political.
If you can't do literally anything with anyone without it becoming political, even in safe spaces, then the problem isn't who you are, it's that you've got nothing else to talk about but politics.
You say that as though being a minority gives carte blanche to make any discussion you're involved in political - bigots may try to make you political, but many folks are more than happy to live and let live. I mean I certainly wouldn't want to talk about my ASD all the time.
That means what you wrote is an expression of your privilege, and is therefore itself a political statement.
The privilege to have sought out communities where I don't always have to speak about politics, or where I can debate people on more harmless subjects? You can do that too you know...
And if everything suddenly becomes political around you where it wasn't before, it might not necessarily be because you're a minority, it might be because you're the one politicising things, ala my first comment.
I don't think it's an unpopular opinion to hate people politicising everything - politics should stay in politics.
Sometimes you just want to chat stupid shit and get away from all that crap.
It's gross, but also inevitable. If there's an untapped niche to make money from, somebody's going to try it -- plus if they want to waste their money on generating accounts only to have them be banned, then so be it.
Makes me kinda thankful that this community is smaller and less likely to be targeted by this sort of crap.
It's definitely cringy, but I often admired the attempts when my uni lecturers tried.
Meme culture evolves rapidly, especially nowadays - and for a job that already has a fucked work-life balance, the fact that they're even trying to keep up is admirable.
True, but I'd argue the first guy still has a point. Balut is a speciality food item and not mass produced in anywhere near the same capacity as regular eggs - so while you can find them, if you're buying eggs you're almost certainly not going to accidentally buy Ballut eggs.
Damn that's both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I'm praying to Gods I don't even believe in
I genuinely have to wonder if Musk is intentionally trying to kill Xitter, because if he's actually trying to recoup his "investment" he's going about it completely the wrong way
I feel like in most cases if a product has such bad reviews that it kills the company that made it, there's a good reason for that.
Of course there are exceptions, and it is expect that a reviewer that they do their due diligence to make sure they're giving an honest, accurate, and reasonable review, but no company should be shielded for being told their product isn't good if it isn't.
Actually "rationalising the pipeline" would be getting rid of all the massively overpaid execs, rather than the people who actually make the Take-Two execs their money
In terms of online presence I think one has to be careful about becoming too private - at what point do you become so untrackable that even people you would like to find you (I.e. old friends) can't anymore.
Because if they pay out, they make less money, far cheaper to get you to give up trying - which is what a lot of people will do because it's designed to be an exhausting system.
That's what I figured - pretty much any alarm system would be better, but could technically help you in a pinch
