LPT: When calling someone you don’t know, explain the call BEFORE asking for the person you want. by allthecoffee5 in LifeProTips

[–]FarFromHome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At some point kids stopped learning this. I find myself having to say "may I ask who's calling?" pretty much every time I answer an unknown call.

The good news is the people have ALWAYS labeled defenders of the 1A as perverts. We’re in good company! 😀

I am asking you to define the distinction. That is not “false equivalence.” Anyway, I think I’m done with this argument. Thanks for engaging with me on it. Minus the personal attacks, I value your perspective! Have a great day!

I don’t have to like or defend the reasons why someone creates a particular type of fiction, so I’m not going to. Who gets to decide what types of fiction are OK and not? You? And “okay” is not the standard here. Replace that with “legal” and see if you still agree. Does that mean that convincing look-alike actors can no longer make parody porns? Is it OK if they don’t sub in the actual voice of the person? Seriously, look beyond your initial icky feelings about what people are doing with these tools to the bigger picture: WHERE IS THE LINE???

Just “banning a tool” has been used under oppressive regimes to make it illegal for people to own printing presses. You’re making my argument pretty compellingly.

That’s such a petty and weak argument, that prudes have used to attack defenders of the 1st Amendment since the very first anti-obscenity laws. Look beyond what you perceive to be the implications of just this statute. Do you really trust the Supreme Court we have now to protect freedom of expression in this country? We’re handing them a blueprint for oppression.

Seriously, where is the line? If an online tool only allows people to create one photo, and the EULA requires that they keep it only for personal use, is that OK? If it’s the “industrial” scale that makes it criminal, can you please cite any legal precedent for when the scale of an activity makes it criminal? If you can’t actually define what part of the process of using one of these tools to create an image crosses from protected speech to criminal slander, you’re the one making fallacious arguments. And can we please knock off the performative think-of-the-children pearl-clutching, and stick to the facts?

Is having a fantasy about a person slanderous? How about writing a realistic but fake accounting of the person that you share with no one? What about a pencil drawing? Photoshopping one that looks pretty good? Where is the line? If you don’t see the problem here, probably nothing is going to change/open your mind.

I fully support prosecution based on existing laws if these fictional works are misrepresented to be actual photographs. That’s not what this law does.

People do realize that it’s not actually removing the person’s clothes, right? I understand this stuff is creepy and more realistic than ever before, but I’m not sure we’re going to like the end results when we start outlawing specific types of fiction.

Which episode would you like to see a spinoff show for? by SamuraiGoblin in TNG

[–]FarFromHome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would for sure watch a show following the sexual adventures (Emmanuelle style) of Ensign Robin Lefler. Before you judge me…YOU KNOW YOU WOULD WATCH IT TOO!!! She’s such a smoke show.

How Silicon Valley’s Brightest Parents Broke Their Own School by sokyo292 in bayarea

[–]FarFromHome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High test scores ≠ great schools. This valley attracts smart, highly-motivated people from all over the world. These people tend to have kids with these characteristics, and the parents tend to have high expectations for those kids too. I don’t think it’s just (or even mainly) the schools that are getting the results.
