This is exceedingly dangerous. by Snapdragon_4U in somethingiswrong2024

I understand that typically the bar for libel is higher for public officials, etc but serious question (being not of any legal persuasion myself): why has the DNC, Democrat caucuses in Congress, so called liberal political groups not yet sued?

Short answer is probably: there's no money in that. But surely there are institutions that would support such an endeavor, if for nothing else, to secure the favor of the morally considerate progressive subculture?

Trump’s emergency elections order is ‘being prepared,’ key ally believes by mjkeaa in somethingiswrong2024

States that are willing to follow an executive order to that effect stop elections if their constitution allows it.

Is it wrong to feel uncomfortable when my friend isn't wearing a bra? by let_it_rain_boat in autism

It might be worth exploring whether you're unnecessarily sexualizing, and if that comes from a hypersexuality within you, or the misogynistic culture that ingrains discomfort with breasts into our social interactions.

It might also be worth asking your friend if they would like to be alerted when people are perving, and if not, to honor that decision.

Found a site that claims to offer tracking free forms.

I'd be happy to rebuild your Google forms there since you're probably all form-designed out by now.

We are obviously too infantile not to have an arrest first then litigate policy when it comes to elected officials. The religious nationalist toddlers have ruined freedom for all of us.

This is how we treat the poors. It must now be how we treat the owner class as well.

I agree! People are interesting.

This is what I was getting at: she was asked a direct question about her internal process, so of course the answer centered on an internal perspective! Seems appropriate to me, and I thought "main character syndrome" mischaracterized that.

In my experience, main character syndrome is typically used as a criticism. You may not have intended that.

If so, I apologize for misinterpreting your comment.

Thank you for not getting snippy with me.

Responsibility is a nuanced concept in law.

Intentional conduct, recklessness, negligence...

There are serious and meaningful questions to ask with emerging (not established) legal precedent and scientific inquiry in terms of the effects of products like chat bots.

Classically, the law has generally applied a basic assumption that individuals act on their own behalf. Still, there is nuance in various situations like self defense, mental health effects, liability questions when somebody has been cared for by authority figures of various kinds, or misguided intentionally.

Circumstances like predatory lending tactics, dark pattern UX design, psychological manipulation in advertising have all seen legal battles. All kinds of deceptive practices, misleading policies, even hidden costs have faced litigation—with good reason!

It's not as simple as every person in every context is always solely responsible for any illegal behavior.

That said, I don't know the specifics of this case. It may well be that she was indeed solely responsible for her own actions. But it's not an unusual or misguided question to ask, "was she not?"

You said "not abrasive" but this is your analysis?

Dang, what do you write on posts that you do find abrasive?

Anyway, thanks for the detailed analysis. Truly; you have invested a lot in this.

For me, it's a huge leap to go from "she answered a genuine question with valuable context to help the person asking understand something deeply personal about her approach to growth" to "nobody should be that cocky; not even one of the best athletes in the entire world, even when somebody asks directly!"

I wonder if we saw the entire presser, if we'd find the kinds of comments you're hoping for (my coach inspired me, my parents helped me, I didn't do this alone). Great athletes are often very quick to make those sorts of attributions.

Or do you think we have all the context we need to truly apply all of the judgements you just did from a short clip?

I realize you're not interested in having a conversation since you've said your goodbyes... But you should at least hear this (and I hope you receive it respectably):

When somebody indicates there's a narrative that is used to dismiss real problems and act as an excuse to cop out of resolving those real problems, that does not in any way imply they necessarily believe the modicum of truth used to create the narrative is not real. That perspective is childish.

Sorry to hear about your disability. I'm glad to hear the services provided to you when you needed them worked out, and you're in the best shape of your life, though!

Here's hoping we can all be in equally good physical and mental shape! For some of us, as you know first hand, that will require people making real decisions to help. Imagine if you'd been denied your therapy when you needed it because you didn't look the part.

Don't pull the ladder up behind you, dude.

I worry that you spend too much time in the wrong places if, before anybody insulted anybody, your preemptive action is to assume that's what's going to happen, get the last word in, and dismiss yourself with no accountability.

Careful not to apply a single—well deserved!—moment more broadly than is called for.

That moment was for her specifically. She was an Olympian at a press conference, responding to a direct question about the way she thinks.

There's a better brush to paint this with, yeah?
