All the worst monsters in history are human. It’s scary to think that it could be in any of us

Did you hear about the hero in the British government who did amazing work in winning a war the British viewed as existential, but killed himself over charges of “criminal” homosexuality? What? No not Alan Turing. You mean it happened twice? The other guy.

Getting that tie was the best thing that ever happened to her. No one would remember her if she just got 5th by herself. No one remembers who got 4th off the top of their heads. Who even won that race?

This is treating Twitter as a pornographic website, which the new French law puts more requirements on. If it was just a “I am over 18” button, I don’t think pornhub would pull out(pun unintended). It’s easy to bypass with a VPN or tor, but are you going to pull that out just to doom scroll for a hate fix? Maybe, but that’s a choice a lot of people are going to have to make.

I don’t think kids realize that

Feels like they are poisoning their jury pool more than it already is

It may have just been a personal experience I had with someone I blocked.

Remember when Biden said he would block sanctions against the ICC but some guy on Lemmy insisted Biden actually wanted those sanctions so bad?

My potions are for the strongest beings and you are not the strongest. You are clearly of the weakest. You need to find a seller who sells weaker potions.

You can’t handle my strongest potions traveller. It would kill you

It’s selfish to not right crime with it. With great power comes great responsibility.

Well it’s not the airline’s responsibility if it’s not their responsibility is my point. If it’s her responsibility to inform them how along she is, then it’s her who is responsible. If it’s murder it’s her doing it. 2 I mean as long as it checks all the proper boxes they’ll do it to any of us, they just call it an execution. Even if they are able to prove the box was checked wrongly later. 3 people sign off on danger for their kids all the time. Is elevated danger murder? Is airline travel so dangerous it’s guaranteed to kill the kid? Plenty of lines here that shouldn’t get a “So mUrDEr iS oK?” Reaction.

If it’s for the airline’s liability then wouldn’t it no longer be their business once passed to the consumer?

Abbott, not trump, but yes I wouldn’t be surprised. He’s pardoned murderers who agree with him before

The theory I heard for some of this is: if you remember a few years ago some of them called themselves “second amendment sanctuary cities” to lampoon others etc etc. One guy who was part of that said that he thought maybe they used ai somehow and there’s no way ai would understand the nuance that they meant.

I’d say this can hurt them, but only a little. These are locales that will always vote for him, but being accused of being the thing that they hate will be a little annoying. Also why use ai if they indeed did? Are they stupid? Yes, but they’ve been able to get humans to do things for years. They’ve already grown lazy and reliant on the new hotness?

Am I bringing another country into it? I think if you want the US to be the Nazis here, then I think what you want to argue that it’s like this brings up the Nazis invading Poland, and I mention Poland. But it’s not really. It’s like if you brought up polish war crimes against germany(theoretical, I’ll acknowledge unlike those the US war crimes are real) and I said Germany started it, now you want to know why I brought up Germany.

Edit: still not a great analogy. I hate analogies. More like saying WW2 was just US war crimes on Germany, I mention Germany started it by invading another Germany (because it’s not really WW2), and you ask why I bring up Germany.

The title is stating it like that’s all it was, when a war is thousands of times more complex equating their experiences to a single word outside of themselves.

Didn’t north Korea invade south Korea? You can claim it was justified, or that the US participation was whatever you want, but that’s how it started.

I want to see a romantic comedy, where in the background the TV is playing a news report about how Tokyo is being attacked by Godzilla again. No one in the foreground acknowledges it, probably because it’s so common you may not comment on it. Still some people in the background are looking concerned. Maybe a poster for donating to rebuild Japan.

I don’t think it is. Is it still catalyst game labs? The ip has changed hands several times over the decades.

Edit: it’s still Topps with licensing out to catalyst game labs, and Microsoft has exclusive video game rights.
