The company that crashed into our car now wants to buy it by Iconian in AskSaidIt

[–]IMissPorn 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

My take would be that they just wanna make really sure they're done. You may well be a very reasonable person, but they don't know that. They don't know you won't run up some kind of ridiculous bill getting the car detailed back to mint condition or whatever. But if they buy it, they know it's over.

But, I'm not a lawyer nor even able to claim any real experience with that kind of situation, so I can't rule out the possibility it's some kind of sneaky legal play you'd regret accepting.

Before the trans craze, I once bought a Judge Dredd comic called "America"...... by QueenBread in TumblrInAction

Well, cool controversial content is like that. Doesn't have to be repeated too many times before it becomes an annoying cliche.

Anyways, I looked up that comic and I see the author is John Wagner, co-creator of Judge Dredd. He, as far as I can tell, still identifies as male. Secretly AGP? Who knows. But if it wasn't actually his own fantasy, then maybe the props for an original, disturbing plot are well deserved after all.

I just think they need to look a little harder for the root of the problem. Personally I'd tend to blame the culture where it's unthinkable that any student ever fail (or be kicked out, or quit). Schools let the worst students drag everyone down.

This is gonna be a fairly hot take I suppose, but I was never too concerned about illegal immigrants from Mexico or central America. They come in, do some cheap labor and try to work their way up, send their kids to community college of the can, good old American Dream stuff for the most part.

But these people coming in from Africa, the Middle East and god know's where else, that's much more worrying. Because 1) why the fuck are they here? None of those places are within walking distance, so it seems like something weird is going on, and 2) I have doubts about their values being close enough to our own to integrate into American society.

The party of family values by YoMamma in pics

[–]IMissPorn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There's laws against indecent exposure in every state.

Having done some research on this, I can say that is technically true as far as I'm aware, but the definition varies greatly. In some states a bare female nipple is indecent exposure (usually with an exception for breastfeeding), in others, wearing crotchless pants and a leather harness is considered "decent" as long as you aren't actually masturbating or fucking someone.

In short, the legal status of public dick waving is a more complicated topic that you might think.

South Korea becomes first country to deploy laser weapons. by [deleted] in WorldNews

I guess it depends on the precise definition of "deploy". It sounds like the US weapon described your link was basically just tested, and although it was deemed a success, they may not have any real plans to use it in practice. Where as the South Korean drone defense system is (they claim) something they're actually intending to use regularly. Or maybe they're just bragging, had to say. But considering they share a border with a hostile country, they probably have more use for something like this that we do.

If Covid is as deadly as they say (progressing from "bad cold" to "you're dead", in just a couple weeks), I would expect at least a couple percent of people to die at home. But proving this didn't happen is kind of tricky, and not a task I'd trust someone as detached from reality as Dr. Mike with. (He's one of those virus deniers.)

I disagree on the plausibility / character assessment. This is cranked up to 11 compared to any of the proven accusations. Like we all know Epstein paid minors for sex, both with himself and other rich / powerful people. But as far as I'm aware, none of the confirmed survivors have alleged a violent rape like this.

Whether either man would have moral compunctions about going that far is anyone's guess, but I do believe they both had more sense.

Trafficking is when women and children are abducted in broad daylight and forced to work as prostitutes.

Trafficking is when that guy in the grocery store parking lot who acted a little too friendly was definitely trying to abduct you.

Trafficking is when all prostitutes are prisoners.

Trafficking is big at the superbowl, apparently.

Trafficking is when you can buy slaves on the deep web.

Trafficking is a HUGE issue in the United States….

Trafficking is when the people flooding across the border are not looking for work/freebies but are in fact slaves, for some reason.

Trafficking is infinitely flexible and means anything the police/government/media/charities want it to.

But trafficking is also slavery, despite the above, and thinking about this contradiction is forbidden.

People just really want to believe in trafficking for some reason. It's weird.

That said, I don't see any contradiction between CPS selling kids and trafficking as commonly understood being a hoax. You could even think of it as a red herring to keep people misdirected perhaps.

Every time I see a "human trafficking" story it turns out to be either something like this, a teenage runaway, or a plain old brothel raid on closer inspection.

You know, every one in a great while, I'm forced to admit it's probably good to have a certain level of safety regulations.

Another very interesting thread regarding LGBT culture and underage sex work. As a gay man, I think this is something that needs to be addressed by BenitoGreen99 in TumblrInAction

[–]IMissPorn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

And if you go back just a bit further when gay sex was actually illegal, I almost can't fault gays of that era for not seeing sex with underage teens as a big deal. They were all in the same boat as pederasts whether they wanted to be or not. It certainly isn't a culture that fits in with modern values, but I can understand why it was the way it was.

Cool I guess, but it's actually kind of a small prize considering the industry in question, and I wonder what exactly counts as "used for good"?

I donno, but it does kinda seem like the term went out of fashion rather suddenly now that you mention it.

Clearly it's not. As the top comment observed, these people must have some other goal.

It seems her real complaint is that woke started to turn against Jews.

The ones with the gibberish user names are kind of funny. Especially when you realize it looks like the kind of gibberish you'd get by manually mashing a keyboard, not like anything a well made bot would do.

"Maladaptive Traits": AI Systems Are Learning To Lie And Deceive by [deleted] in Artificial_Intelligen

OK so this was in the context of playing a game called Diplomacy. Never played it, but it sounds like the sort of game where deception would be an expected part of play. So I donno if this is any particular cause for alarm. I'd have been surprised if they discovered it wasn't capable of using deception when expected. After all that's what LLMs do, imitate human behavior.

What might be alarming is if we caught it being intentionally deceptive in a situation where this wasn't expected, for instance if it suddenly started saying Eliezer Yudkowsky is a sexually violent predator.

That's the same thing I do, report and block. About half the spammers constantly make new accounts so blocking them doesn't help... but about half don't. So it does make a difference. I agree that it'd be nice if the process of doing those two things was a little more streamlined.

Pretty sad. You'd think being a nonprofit they'd be able to stand for their principles... but since they didn't, I have to wonder if they actually have any.

No, a Remote Amazon Tribe Did Not Get Addicted to Porn by xoenix in whatever

[–]IMissPorn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The true part is a remote village got internet for the first time, and all that comes with it, which of course includes porn. The elders are concerns (just like everywhere), but there's no real indication that anyone is "addicted", which would imply some sot of widespread social problem of people ignoring their duties while they drool over porn all day.

This guy was no master hacker. He literally used google to look up how to carry out the attack. But apparently it didn't occur any anyone at this company that passwords should be changed after an employee who had them is fired.

Which websites no longer exist would you like to see back? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

bad-candy.com

This is pure nostalgia talking, as it was completely pointless, but at the same time I consider it iconic of the fun and innocent early internet. Nowadays that would probably be a youtube channel at best, but back in the day you could make a whole site for a totally silly project and as long as you did it well, people would actually go there.

Hunter Biden was convicted Tuesday of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 when, prosecutors argued, the president’s son lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs ... An exact sentencing date has not been set. by neolib in news

[–]IMissPorn 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm inclined to agree. They're trying to make a show of show the justice system being "impartial". But both trials are bogus. Hunter probably came closer to breaking the law, the letter of it, as it were, but neither prosecution would have happened to regular sods like you and I. They don't go after every gun owner who's later found to do drugs (nor should they) any more than they charge people with 34 felonies over some bookkeeping issue. It really has nothing to do with the law at all.

It's just the cancer often called the "deep state" trying yet another method to stay in control.
