Dammit! I only have 29 chickens, will this method still work?

The word is appreciated, but a link would be better…

Yeah, I think people are making some pretty naive assumptions about all the new datacenters popping up for AI.

What the fuck do you think the government is asking AI to do for them? Shitty cartoon artwork? Photoshopping vacation photos? Or, maaaaaaybe…I dunno…something like data collection and analysis on every byte of information sent across the tubes of the interwebs?

I’d love to see this - but not for this situation. Totally pointless. Counter-productive.

Cops got her on disorderly conduct, after the fact. Jt’s a bullshit charge. They had nothing to charge her with otherwise.

But she’s got a civil rights violation lawsuit in the bag. She’s clearly heard repeating “Am I being detained?” The officer didn’t answer and then used physical force to bring her down.

And even outside the law, the court of public opinion matters. Starting a riot by beating the shit out of a cop might not look so good. It’s 20 on 1, and he could get disoriented and fire into the crowd.

But, for the record, if you are EVER dressed as a life-sized penis and a cop asks “What am I supposed to tell my kids?”, you should answer “Tell them Trump is a dick.”

Because that’s an honest answer and there’s nothing inherently sexual about this situation. Half the world has penises, there’s naked statues and painting and pics of penises in every culture around the world. Kids can handle it.

You’re not wrong, but this isn’t a prudism problem. It’s more like a “if it offends YOU, you’re a snowflake, but if it offends ME, then you’re under arrest” problem.

She turned her back on a cop and walked away. No better way to get arrested than to remind them how small they really are.

I think you would need to first make the case that software is making the world a better place. So far, it’s got a spotty record…

Apparently, neither do adults.

Did you used to work for the Justice Department, by chance?

“Guys, it turns out that molesting and raping children is indeed illegal for an American citizen. I think we might be able to prosecute Trump, and a whole lot of other people. I’m gonna share this with the office, I call it The Epstein files.”

tl;dr: Trump owns the Supreme Court

Seems like more people should be upset about this, but I guess we’ve all given up on democracy.

On the bright side, at least kids in the future won’t have to memorize the Bill of Rights.

Deadpan sarcasm doesn’t translate well from a verbal medium to a written medium.

Unless you’re in an echo chamber…

Wow, OP, your post history is just…something special. This one in particular.

Think of it as a big clit. Which, biologically speaking, it is. So is yours.

I think scale is the issue.

Basically, it was legal to rape, murder and/or kidnap Africans. It was so profitable that the main slave dealers were African tribes/nations who would sell their prisoners of war to the slave trade - thus encouraging more war and more slavery.

Estimates of African deaths (on the low side) are double that of the Holocaust.

This went on for 400 years. (Nazi power lasted only about 12 years by comparison.)

And even to this day, the African slave trade is responsible for much of the racism and division we see. So, yeah, slave trade shaped our world in many ways.

Because we teach kids all about civil liberties while mostly ignoring civic duty.

Civil liberties are 100% dependent on citizens completing basic civic duties. If people aren’t willing to do the bare minimum (like vote), then we end with a society of people who just want all the good stuff and none of the responsibility. Which is pretty much where we’re at today.

Look at American history. This really is business as usual, sad as it might be.
