  • It's worse than the just Karens. If you don't pay the fines they will put a lien on your property and eventually evict you. This has created a strong market pressure towards swindling people out of their places. Financial groups that manage HOAs wholesale are now the norm and they love encouraging Karens to generate nonsense rules and report offenders... They get a cut of either the fine or the home sale sand get to play the role faceless enforcer. There are no regulations on how high fines can go, nor how high LATE FEES on those fines can go, nor how soon "late" is.

    We are way past the time when HOAs were harmless funny people hyperfocusing on lawns... It's a predatory business now.

  • See, this is the data that's interesting, and i do think it belongs here. I'd be curious if this is unofficially a record. A certain seismic measurement that is a certain distance from an event, entirely generated by people. This is assuming their movement created a bigger reading than the sound equipment, which is entirely plausible with people stomping in time.

    You know the lab is well aware of the venue. The artist doesn't matter. It's the event they were impressed with.

  • Those claims are about porn addiction. Not the act of watching porn. On top of that, putting the burden of child trafficking and abuse onto the sites that would publicly host porn is like blaming climate change on people putting plastic in the wrong bin. Places that propagate the awful content mentioned by this warning are already against the law and flying under the radar. This is just BS that gets righteous Texan votes, not something that helps victims. It certainly doesn't accept that consensual adults make and watch porn in healthy ways. It's also why these folks get called out for their scandals, which wouldn't be news worthy if they didn't grandstand.

  • My first thought was "why are you so angry at this person who was cheated on while deployed?". I've had friends in that situation, it's a sad cliche. A disturbingly large percentage of military wives just aren't equipped to handle how much alone time active duty leaves them with.

    Then i saw his user name.

  • It wasn't a play on words. PEPFAR had bipartisan support until recent months when heritage foundation decided to target it for made-up abortion fears. It was truly keeping it real by just being a health benefit program for countries that needed help fighting aids and it has saved millions of lives. But 20 years later in today's political climate it is somehow controversial.

  • You make it sound like the quality is what will increase with human/AI partnership. What will realistically happen is an expected rate of output. Why can't you deliver a book every year with an AI ghost writing? People who work slowly or meticulously will be phased out by those that can quickly throw together a collage of their own words and their guided filler. It's amazing and futuristic. It can be very useful and inspirational. But I do not share your optimism that it will make creative industries better. It will allow a single person to put together a script that would've taken a team... But the better content will now be drowning in this sea. Unfortunately, I expect an equivalent of the media explosion that happened when the reality tv format became an ok thing, eventually leading to shows half filmed on phones. The end result will be double the marvel movies every year.

  • Blocking means hiding them from your online experience. Your posts are still public, there is no point trying to censor them... Somebody's could just create a new account to see them anyways.

    But if they COULDN'T see your posts from one account it would actually give them more information: that you have initiated a block. That has social implications and could even make a stalking situation worse.
