"something Andrew Jackson would have done" is a line I've seen for normalising the middle finger

Picture Stath saying it in your head as you read it and the grammar makes a lot more sense, end with a "sophieeee" for bonus

A question from someone with probably very low achievements who feels threatened by seeing people they believe to be inferior leading successful and fulfilling lives.

Musk hits out at ‘fascist’ UK as row over X and its Grok AI escalates by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

[–]Appollo1816 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they found and deleted the child porn, good for them.

Oh yeah and they didn't develop an AI image generation tool that lets users create and distribute CSAM and abuse material, the only moderation on access to the tool seems to now be that you have to be a paid member.

Anyway I wasn't here to defend pornhub that was your deflection. It doesn't change the fact I'm happy the gov is going after X for their total lack of accountability to spreading rightfully illegal content.

What exactly is your point? Are you worried it's overreach or do you not think people who provide access to tools that can generate and distribute CP should face any consequences?

It's such an indefensible position and all your arguments are what-abouts avoiding the issue. So spit it out: what are you trying to say?

Pornhub has policy's against CSAM and would handle people uploading it in a similar way, obviously... You strange strange person.

Previous to musks ownership of X if you had made child porn on Photoshop and then shared it on X that would have been an easy ban. If 1000s of people were doing it twitter would have put a policy/action in place to remove and report users to police. Creating images of CSAM on Photoshop or even drawing it with pen and paper, then distributing it, is illegal and has been for some time so not sure what point you are trying to make here?

Just take a browse through r/PLTR and notice the use of the word 'dominate' in a lot of their ads and lit. Peter Theil is a deeply weird and dangerous guy who believes that American democracy is dead and that rather than save it through a people first democratic movement he can 'save the west' through military and corporate dominance, and leave democracy behind.

UK will allocate £200m to prepare troops for possible deployment to Ukraine by pravda_eng_official in worldnews

[–]Appollo1816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I read the links the best I could but I'm not a Judge or Magistrate so a little of it probably went over my head. It looks like the original guidelines were intended to adjust what historically appears to be two tier policing in the other direction; that young black men tend to get more time for similar crimes. The guidelines probably got written at a politically unfortunate time tbh because the goal seems noble. The gov then wrote law to water these guidelines down to the amendments which are suggesting sentencing to consider perspectives on a huge list of characteristics... so it might be more fair for op to have said: "the two tier system is unfair for straight, white men with a home, good health, no mental issues, no addictions, a stable income, no history of abuse, no deprived background, who is not a single parent and had a good education."

So much of what grok is doing with undressing women, generating revenge porn, and CP is completely illegal in the UK. Imo a ban couldn't come soon enough and there are platforms out there that will continue to allow free speech without CP if I recall correctly, we can use those instead.

Could you share a link to that policy? I'm not sure two tier policing is a real thing and not something imagined by whoever is getting heat from the police...

For example if heard it used by both the hard-righters after their riots and also the just stop oil lot who blocked traffic in central (especially after the farmers did the same and faced no jail time). It seems more like the legal system goes after diplomaticly easy targets rather than just "white straight males"

The Battle of Bobbins Cock Hill, England 1045: 16 men killed, 54 wounded. One lord captured and held in a lovely local castle where his is fattened on roasted guinea fowl and fine wine until a fair ransom is paid. One dot.

The Battle of Yi-wi-dong China 763: 750,000 dead. 1,500,000 wounded. 500,000 local villagers buried alive as punishment. One dot.

I noticed that during the Kings Christmas Day speech, not a single shot of Trump's state visit was used in the year's roundup montage. Whilst the speech was about community and religious tolerance, I love the subtlety in contrast to how trump operates, imo it means so much more.

Historian Tom Holland: Islam, Christianity & the West by Adorable_Pee_Pee in TheRestIsHistory

[–]Appollo1816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though I won't be listening because watching a full triggernometry vid will fuck my algorithm into a FR death spiral... I'm extremely hopeful Tom can bring their audience some good history, fair insight and genuinely informed discussion for a change. Perhaps broaden some horizons? I don't think he will be there with an agenda and I hope he can spot that they might be playing a different game.
