  • Ross sent a video of himself masturbating to City Attorney Stefanie Stalheim in January. He sent the video minutes after the two had a telephone call discussing a police officer’s suicide.

    Can we ignore the obvious bad thing (sexual harassment of a subordinate in the workplace) and just admire the man who whipped his cock out and filmed himself spanking it after a phone call about a cop's suicide?

  • You’re now arguing over a claim you say you never made, while responding to a correction I gave to someone else’s hypothetical about pardons.

    So either you misunderstood the original thread and jumped in sideways, or you’re walking it back now. Either way:

    Pardons don’t cover HIPAA fines.

    HIPAA is still law, even if enforcement is selective.

    Doomerism isn’t analysis.

    This isn’t dodgeball, it’s policy. Stay sharp or stay quiet.

  • You’re shifting the goalposts. The original claim was that a pardon would negate HIPAA fines, which it wouldn’t. Now you’re saying HHS won’t enforce the law -- different argument entirely.

    If you want to discuss regulatory capture or selective enforcement, fine -- but let’s not pretend that means the law ceases to exist or that we should throw up our hands. That’s the kind of learned helplessness I’m pushing back on.

    Again -- sus doomerism. GTFO homie. I smell your camp from a mile the fuck away.

  • I just took a new cybersecurity job and they've been using wiz.

    Stoked, not stoked.

    Stoked that Google acquired them and I'm getting what will become even more industry relevant experience.

    Not stoked that this contributes to genocide.

    However, my employer is probably Bernie sanders largest donor. At least in his top 5.

    So, mixed feels. Big time.

  • Not really. Pardons apply to criminal liability, not civil fines. HIPAA violations usually result in civil penalties. A pardon wouldn't erase a regulatory fine from HHS. That's not how pardons work.

    I want to call your response out as doomerism, but I'll allow you to retract the idea you put forth with the additional knowledge put forth here.

    Getting sick of this "we're fucked, there's nothing we can do" sentiment everywhere I go on Lemmy. It's sus AF at this point. It's also contagious, which I believe is the point. So I certainly will never stand for it in response to anything I put out here.

  • Complex ideas often get boiled down into slang or jargon - shortcuts to describe something hard to articulate. When people connect with that shortcut, they reuse it. The process repeats.

    Like in baseball - if there’s a runner on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, we just say the “bases are loaded.”

    “Bases loaded” quickly conveys the full situation. That phrase caught on.

    Caught on like what?

    Like wildfire.

    How did it spread?

    Like wildfire. Wildfires spread fast, in every direction, and nothing really stops them. You could say it went viral.

    Viral?

    Yeah - viral.

    Viral how?

    Well... like a virus.

    See?
