A different article I read earlier (sorry, it’s too early and I’m too lazy to go looking for it) painted this in a slightly different light btw.

The kid didn’t kill his dad because he was mad he got his Switch taken away. He got his Switch taken away, snuck into his parents room to go looking for it, found the gun instead, and started playing with it. Then he accidentally shot his dad with it.

That is a MUCH different story than “psychopathic child murders his father over a video game”. But hey, anything to avoid a headline that insinuates guns themselves are the problem.

Would someone from that time recognize 1066 as the year? Were they using modern date formats for years at that time?

Malley’s does not disclose where they source materials for their chocolates, but they did indicate that their cocoa, milk, and sugar all come from outside of northeast Ohio, bringing a tale of globalization full circle.

Wait, you’re telling me they don’t use locally grown cocoa beans from Ohio, a place with a climate wholly unsuited toward cocoa production? Who could have known!?

Yea, Caucasian food only includes things like pizza, which as we all know, is universally hated and enjoyed by no one around the globe. Italian food? French food? All garbage!

Yea, who needs dumb things like “visible progress within my lifetime”? It barely took 40000 years to go from stone to bronze, that should be good enough for anyone!

How is that the immigrant family’s fault? Or a better question, why the fuck does that mean it belongs to the mob? If they’re natives, which tribe? The one whose territory the land was in before the government stole it? Or should it go to the descendants of the tribe before them who were driven out? How about the ones before that?

If an immigrant family from the 1800’s buys land from the government, that is the end of the trail. The mob can have grievances with the government themselves, but the immigrant family is not at fault. If the mob takes the land from them, that’s just theft.

Your cynical take is far more optimistic than mine. I am more of the opinion that these incidents will be treated like the race massacres from post-civil war reconstruction: almost entirely forgotten and barely talked about. Actually, it will be even more forgotten than those. People died in those incidents by the thousands. No one is going to remember a few protests with a handful of injuries.

Also completely ignores the people who bought their land.

I think Neelix gets the Jar Jar comparison because he’s an alien, but I believe there is a worse character on the show that no one ever talks about.

Tom Paris. I don’t understand how this guy is not more disliked by the fanbase. He’s the kind of person that would sleep in a racecar bed. Neelix is annoying, but every single scene with Tom is just so fucking awkward. He is a 9 year old in a star fleet officer’s body. He’d be tolerable as a side character, but as a main character he’s just so grating.

I’ll take Cooking with Neelix over Tom Paris pretending he’s Captain Proton.

When I can reliably get Game Pass to run on Linux, or if Game Pass becomes not worth it.

Police exist in the first place to catch runaway slaves.

Right. All the people here upset with the Clintons for not going to “explain themselves” are missing the point. They have already tried that route, it led nowhere. Remember how many times Hillary was called in to explain her emails?! Trump and the Republicans decided that Congress has no power and the rule of law doesn’t matter. Nobody should comply with them.

So what?

Seriously, so what?

Chatbots have been around for ages, way longer than the current “AI” trend. It’s always been possible to get them to say some version of “kill yourself”.

ChatGPT didn’t gaslight a guy into killing his mom. A mentally ill man killed his mom. If a fucking chatbot is the thing that triggered it, then anything could have. Same thing with the people killing themselves because a chatbot told them too. That’s just cold Darwinism. We didn’t suddenly ban Catcher in the Rye because some schizophrenic guy decided it was telling him to kill John Lennon; we recognized that there are simply crazy people in this world who could be set off by anything.

The “safeguards” you want in place are not feasible because you want them to account for people with mental illness, or people so stupid that something else would have killed them first.

You want the real story to this article? Dumbass dies from using drugs irresponsibly, parents blame anything they can except their son because they are too blinded by grief to recognize that their precious little junkie was a fucking idiot. ChatGPT did not force him to take drugs. ChatGPT did not supply him with drugs. That was all him. The only one to blame for his death is his dumbass self.

Yea, using a cutesy, made-up, baby word to describe fucking murder is a bit distracting. Who the fuck would have guessed?

People will always find a way to kill themselves no matter how many warnings and guardrails are put into place. This is just Darwinism shaking the tree.

And the source of this belief is… what? The long history of people like this completely getting away with it? Look up how many people were actually prosecuted at the Nuremberg trials compared to the total number of Nazi’s. I’d be extremely surprised if even a single dozen ICE members face any consequences.

So, until recently, do you honestly believe that they just didn’t test female contraceptives? Or do you think they tested them on males instead? Or maybe that argument is a little bit nonsense in this case because while women as a whole are underrepresented in medical testing, the idea that they never, ever, tested on women (especially in the case of drugs exclusively made for women) is a little bit of a ridiculous concept.

Man bad.

Too fucking stupid to recognize that people can’t predict the future. Too fucking stubborn to accept that you’re wrong when people point out what broken, dumbass logic you’re trying to use. You’re fucking cooked mate. Maybe get some sleep or grab a snack before you keep trying for the “Dumbest Comment of the Month” award.
