Like I said, she's not any better than him. She's still a more appealing choice to moderate / less insane republicans.

The blind red vs blue is real.

Her existence is to try to keep moderate conservative voters from flipping sides, and as insurance in case the supreme court sides against trump. The pardon is for the extreme side as a consolation prize if the SC rules against him.

When the supreme court rules in his favor and the risk of him going to jail is 0, she'll support him and hope that the last minute endorsement will put the presidency on the regressive side. She's not any better than him, nor was she ever. They're cut from the same cloth, they're just pandering to two sides of the same party.

There's a lot of profit that comes out of someone seeking healthcare. Plus a sick worker can't collect hourly wages, lowering expenses for business.

Clearly this is a pro-business policy.

Sales tax is fine

Show me how this does not disproportionately effect the bottom 50% and how it doesn't strongly favor the wealthy and then i'll agree with your statement that justifies the rest of what you're saying.

Sales tax is not fine. The poor pay more than the rich. This is a problem that lets the rich get richer while the poor have less and less.

imo wealth taxes make the most sense. Tax every organization and individual equally. The ones with the most pay the most. The ones with nothing pay nothing.

Encourages spending what you have and not hoarding onto wealth for the sake of hoarding wealth.

imo the nonprofit system and tax exemption is broken. That's why you have incredibly affluent people who own and operate a "foundation" where all their wealth resides, because putting the wealth there was a tax writeoff and they are still the owner, beneficiary and controller of the assets that are no longer "theirs".

does that mean it doesn’t affect you so fuck it who cares ?

No

What a strange action for the worst burger chain. The competitors have better chicken sandwiches too.

Their $5 meal is probably the cheapest but it also just feels... not so good. I miss the Wendy's of 20 years ago.

Being from the north the generational change in just 20 years was huge. I have no idea how it impacts the regressive south but with all the social media out there i'm guessing they get exposed. Being anti-hate is very appealing to idealistic people which are definitely the young.

I wonder if we're seeing the dying remnants of regressives before the next generation grows up. I understand why the older generations are worried because the big changes we've seen are not what they are used to. If anything trying to bring back hate as a platform is like holding onto a safety blanket real tight.

This headline is so headline grabby. Sure the local fucking bigot won't do it, but practically anyone can qualify as eligible for solemnizing a marriage.

I think it's real shitty what they did and are trying to do, don't get me wrong, but LGBTQ are not going away and there's a lot more supporters than haters out there. Even in red states many supporters remain silent to avoid the loud dumb bigots.

THEY get something given to them!??!? NO WAY, NOT UNLESS ITS FOR ME TOO

-Sincerely, dumb people who can't put themselves in anyone elses shoes. The world revolves around their life experience and nothing else.

They just want to make sure that the law banning abortion is so layered that removing it will be nearly impossible. The ones in power cheering this on can travel wherever they want to take care of whatever they need so it's not a law that applies to them.

The amount of energy wasted on this topic to distract us from all the other practical ways they fuck us is astounding. We should be talking about healthcare reform. We should be calling for major reform / bans on PAC money. We should be reversing things like sales taxes in favor of wealth taxes. We should be enshrining more labor rights in the fucking constitution.

Nope, let's all just focus on abortion and IVF. Problems that truly will never exist for the affluent (read: politically powerful or influential)

This asshole is just exercising his options to take money from the same moderators that were up in arms over his changes last year. Make no mistake, this is Spez's revenge.

I really hope this whole thing backfires on reddit, but I think the reality is that it will further enshittify until it's profitable, and it's already so big it's unlikely to fail.

Lemmy just isn't a replacement and I think the nature of lemmy will stop it from ever being one unless someone throws godlike resources at one giant instance that federates with basically nobody.

ML can be applied in a great number of ways. One such way could be content moderation, especially detecting people who use alternate accounts to reply to their own content or manipulate votes etc.

By including IP addresses with the comments they could correlate who said what where and better learn how to detect similar posting styles despite deliberate attempts to appear to be someone else.

It's a legitimate use case. Not sure about the legality... but I doubt google or reddit would ever acknowledge what data is included unless they believed liability was minimal. So far they haven't acknowledged anything beyond the deal existing afaik.

Please drink verification can to continue.

Gut feel based on common tech platform procedures, right? (As opposed to a sourceable certainty.)

It would be PR suicide to disclose exactly what data is shared. Cambridge Analytica is a prime example of a PR nightmare with similar data.

I don't even need to look at reddit's terms and conditions to know that there is practically nothing stopping them from handing this kind of data over legally for anybody who hasn't submitted GDPR deletion requests. I never trust compliance of laws that cannot be verified independently either because i've seen all kinds of shady shit in my career.

Since an IP address alone is not considered PII, can you prove that they did not provide IP addresses for each post?

Do you think it's more or less likely that ip addresses, account names, private messages and deleted messages and posts would be included?

Remember that they paid 60 million dollars for this information and web scrapers have been capable of capturing subreddit post data for over a decade as is at a $0 price tag from reddit.

Where does it say they have access to PII?

So technically they haven't sold any PII if all they do is provide IP addresses. Legally an IP address is not PII. Google knows all our IP addresses if we have an account with them or interact with them in certain ways. Sure, some people aren't trackable but i'm just going to call it out that for all intents and purposes basically everyone is tracked by google.

Only the most security paranoid individuals would be anonymous.

Sir, this is not /c/lemmyshittiestposts

Hey guys, let's be clear.

Google now has a full complete set of logs including user IPs (correlate with gmail accounts), PRIVATE MESSAGES, and also reddit posts.

They pinky promise they will only train AI on the data.

I can pretty much guarantee someone can subpoena google for your information communicated on reddit, since they now have this PII (username(s)/ip/gmail account(s)) combo. Hope you didn't post anything that would make the RIAA upset! And let's be clear... your deleted or changed data is never actually deleted or changed... it's in an audit log chain somewhere so there's no way to stop it.

"GDPR WILL SAVE ME!" - gdpr started in 2016. Can you ever be truly sure they followed your deletion requests?

I missed the hand crafted feel of previous Zelda games, where the majority of your time was spent dungeon delving in places packed with secrets and puzzles that weren’t just physics minigames.

This so much.

Shrines are not a good replacement for real dungeons. The "dungeons" we get are so minimal and the upgrades you get are so meh. At best you get mobility or more ways to cheese combat encounters. Gone are the days of unique equipment and things that fundamentally change how you interact with the world, metroidvania style.

I think the open world aspect of zelda is it's weakest link, it's just too big of a sacrifice. Korok seeds are not real content for anyone who isn't obsessed with the 'gotta collect them all' mindset, it's just a copy paste idea like what we've seen in gta and assassin's creed. There's no real reward for excessive open world exploration, you're constantly just trying to get from point A to point B with no reason to really delve into the landscape except for more koroks. Combat is a chore where you're just fighting to get equipment to fight more.

Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of things going for the newer games, especially the controls. It's just much less of what made the older titles great, and that's fine. I keep having nostalgia for link to the past and that's just not the kind of game this is.
