Lol yeah, guess I was lost.

So, screaming at him all night didn’t work?

Sleep easy OP, this is likely some bullshit.

Sometimes I put directions into Maps for a work thing and I have to be there before the location opens to the public and when I put the address in, before it will give me directions, the app says, “HEY, THE PLACE YOU’RE GOING MIGHT NOT BE OPEN, JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW, STUPID ASSHOLE.”

It makes me unreasonably(?) furious.

I actually love the fact that stadiums full of people go to political rallies and get jazzed about policy speeches. It’s strange, right? But I’m glad it’s something we get collectively psyched about. In a democracy, it (usually) feels healthy.

Well said.

I’d like to add that the biggest problem, imo, is the closed source nature of the models. Corporations who used our collective knowledge, without permission, to create AI to sell back to us is unethical at best. All AI models should be open source for public access, sort of like libraries. Corpos are thrilled we’re fighting about copyright pennies instead, I’m sure.

No it’s not. It’s well established law that we are allowed to resell our physical media. You’re just wrong. Like I said, if it were up to corporate media lawyers, you would be correct, which is why it’s frustrating to see people like OP & yourself falling into line when no one’s even asking you to. Stop that.

According to media lawyers, maybe. But when I have a CD of music, or a game cartridge, I can sell it to someone else. For money. Because it’s my copy I’m selling. So, what the fuck are you talking about except ceding the point to corporate lawyers for no good reason?

Tell us the story, Grandpa!

I’m using FF & don’t have that issue nor have I elsewhere.

Sometime extensions cause issues if you have any installed.

My grandpa’s pacemaker has beef with being left out of the, “cool cybernetic implants,” category.

That’s right everyone, the Bezos Post is left leaning!

God, this fucking debate has been going on for decades with you nerds. Bieb or Hannah there’s no right answer, use whichever works best for you!

It must be so weird for Drew (the guy from Giant Bomb in the meme) to browse the internet every day lol!

You’re blaming the wrong people. Being sensitive of triggers is a good thing, advertisers are the problem.

If you look into the history of radio & television, you’ll see the same pattern. Like the internet, at first they were an awesome medium anyone could use and all kinds of badass stuff happened. Over time everything became consolidated & advertisers insisted on censoring for maximum efficiency.

“Capitalists”

No? I think I see what you mean, but the States all have equal power in the Senate so its more like tug-of-war and coalition building.

Again, imo, the House is really where California’s 500 pound Gorilla status should come into play but the cap means tiny States hold disproportionately waaaaaaay too much sway. The Reds should not currently control the House, not even close.

I just disagree.

The Senate is where the States have equal representation regardless of size, that’s the point of it. The House is meant to be where California’s population makes the difference, but the cap needs to be removed, imo.

Without a Senate, the most populous states drag everyone else around by sheer weight. That’s not sustainable.

Also, as someone who has experienced life in both rural and urban America, city people have lots of misunderstandings about how people in small communities live and make bad decisions based on those misunderstandings as well. It’s not like country folk have a monopoly on that shit.

EDIT: Just want to acknowledge the point I think you’re trying to make about minority (often religiously motivated) groups passing laws that affect huge populations in cities where we have to live with each other. I totally get it, just to be clear.

Really? Please explain. Like, I get the DEI joke, but the fact all these little states are red isn’t some law of the Universe. They have been blue and can be again.

Unless I’m missing some deeper joke? Apparently I am unless the down votes are just circlejerking.

EDIT: Maybe you all think the Senate should be determined by population? If so, that’s what the House is for. Uncap it.
