  • Lawyers have no obligation to act with empathy. There is no obligation to act fairly - because they can always twist the definition of what “is” is. I can find a thousand examples of unfair judicial actions that legally wouldn’t be considered unfair.

    Hell, Anthony Scalia said “mere factual innocence is no reason not to carry out a death sentence properly reached.” How can that not be the definition of unfair - our SCoTUS ruled that it’s totally legal and fair to execute a factually innocent person.

    Civil rights need protection primarily because of the lawyers trying to infringe on them.

  • Who says it should be contained? I simply said “Texas deserves to be ash then” - the fallout is acceptable.

    We all have to die of something. The fear of death from the left is keeping us from confronting the right wing as needed - they don’t fear death because they have a Heaven or Rapture to save them. Stop worrying about death and face the fascists on their level, or they will dominate by dictating the tempo of action.

    Trump is proving that much right now. He has a stronger support base than ever before - because he espouses violent and aggressive rhetoric. Just lean into it and let the cards (or bodies) fall where they may. America likes it that way, it seems.

  • It’s LA - drivers are like that here for no reason at all. That nurse who went over 100mph into a family on a sidewalk was from here. Same with those people just shooting randos on the highway.

    LA (and most of SoCal) operates with road warrior rules - get the fuck out of the way because the drivers will kill you and piss on your corpse.

    …plus the street takeovers and assholes doing donuts on the highway. Nothing like watching swarms of assholes freeze traffic so they can spin in a circle on a bridge.

    TL/DR: it has nothing to do with public transportation. These assclowns will continue to be assclowns if you invented instant matter teleportation.

  • Lawyers fucking suck. They always have to play fucking games with unspoken language. Their full sentence is:

    “do not and will not prosecute people for it…until the Comstock Act comes back into effect or the 14th Amendment no longer provides privacy protections.”

    Lawyers would weasel us out of any and all rights just because it gives them more billable hours and more casework.

  • They’ll just remove or loosen the licensing and education requirements to become a doctor. They had janitors and high school dropouts serving as teachers - why not have chiropractors or Christian Scientists perform surgery?

  • If an AI can outperform a human doctor, isn’t that a good thing? We should always strive to improve survival for patients - it’s not about doctors jobs but patient survival and long term health outcomes.

    I would love for doctors to become AI if the AI improves our growing health inequities and inequalities.

  • But some smaller, more integrous and creative influencers might.

    Good, maybe they’ll get a productive job then and stop forcing their attempts at being influencers. You either are or aren’t one; they clearly don’t have what it takes to influence their viewers to buy sponsor products as efficiently.

    Advertising isn’t a noble business and influencers are just advertisers. There is no noble human spirit in advertising, it is (and always has been) an exploitative and ignoble career.

  • Agreed. Streaming services always seemed like gilded cages to me. You can only see what they allow you to see - piracy or old-school Netflix DVD delivery gives you all the options. The promise of being able to stream any content at any time, with the producers and people involved being able to get compensated fairly and justly, just isn’t reality with these ghouls running the show.

    The model (in the current form, of artificially restricted licensing) seems like less a way to curate a media catalog, but more like a way to curate the subscribers and culture.
