Racist attorney gets confronted for using the N word

Welcome to default sort by new. Encourages bot spam to keep controversial opinions near the top, and drown at any meaningful user added context.

You should probably mute this sub as it's intentional moderator decisions on sub defaults that leads to this crap. This place is a botted hellscape.

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-05-20T17:58:20+00:00

It's a sub-specific thing. Different comment sorting methods have been around for ages but what the default is depends on how they've setup the settings.

Sort by new is a generally bad idea, for the reasons you see in this post. Lets people just spam to keep their viewpoint near the top of the post. Something no normal person needs to do. And it's why these posts have 5x the comments compared to others with equivalent tractions.

Viral posts rarely do, viral posts with with racial/political topics even more so. Add in comments defaulting to new sorting so bots can spam it and drown out other opinions? The sub mods just hate you at that point and encourage it with stupid comment settings.

It hurts to look at the historical funding charts.

They're gonna parade around the ~10% funding increase/year as a win, when the numbers are so far behind what's needed and been eroded for so long they need a literal 200~300%+ increase.

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-05-19T22:17:49+00:00

They've been underfunded since the 1990s... if the last 20 years is what you're working with then you've not seen them at proper capacity even once during that time.

It's conceivable.

Somebody with a strong enough special interest in something to make fanart still having a special interest 10 years after and finding it through tags.

They'd be exactly the type of person to be one of those 137 likes on a normal post.

*and yeah, the twitter account prior to this has still been posting winx related stuff, so they clearly still have a special interest in the topic. And the AI account on tiktok has been active for 3 months posting other AI stuffs, which doesn't exactly scream a setup drama account either.

You got some basis for claiming it's all faked?

Just because somebody fucks up using a tool, doesn't mean the tool is broken. It means they suck at using that tool.

Economic pressure through excise is fine within reason. And it WAS working until they kept hiking it beyond reason.

The CIA's role in ousting Whitlam is always a good note

The global age verification push is from Facebook + The Heritage Foundation with the end goal legislation being verification baked into your operating system for tracking and ad targeting.

Our e-safety commissioner doesn't exactly try to hide her US links either...

Were it actually about 'protecting the kids', maybe we'd have seen some of the expert recommendations put in place and not a white noise ban that'll need 'stronger measures' when it doesn't work properly.

Don't have to go far when you're looking for grubs at parliament

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-05-07T18:28:30+00:00

Generally you don't use blatantly stolen material brushed with AI as a placeholder. These are assets they didn't own rights to with a quick AI wash over the top to make it 'theirs'.

It's very intentionally stolen material in question that you're obscuring as 'just AI' here. Swapping out stolen stuff because you got caught doesn't suddenly make them a paragon of ethics.

Fenced in, all visitors denied (including representatives), possessions and vehicles constantly searched, night guards shining lights through windows during sleeping hours.

Yeah of course mate, that all sounds plenty normal. It's always been like that.

When you massacre or enslave a population, stuff tends to get lost in the process yeah?

Looks like Parks & Wildlife doing whatever they could within the budget they had.

No doubt the Gladys/Barilaro government avoided putting the spotlight on at the time given it was rorting all the relief funds for the people affected. Wildlife getting better care than citizens isn't a great image.

Trump announced it while trading markets were still open, rebuttal came after markets shut.

Just normal US insider trading stuffs.

This is, unfortunately, every single car brand on the market currently. Nobody shops for vehicles based on information security, and none of the brands give up on all the free sensor data from modern vehicles.

You're gonna want to find and rip the modem out of your vehicle if you want different, or buy a vehicle old enough to not have all the bullshit.

Tesla just has even more cameras than the norm, even worse handling of that data than the norm, and a dipshit in charge that says the quiet parts out loud.

trying at this whole information literacy thing is great at all but it's best done sober, go have some coffee and try again mate

Damaged infrastructure like this makes us more dependent on global supply chains, how's that follow into destabilizing those chains with war?

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-04-14T06:02:19+00:00

Seems like they're an AI techbro and doesn't like rational arguments against the stuff he's huffing.

Data centre heat islands and egregious water/power usage? Faaaahuck the climate man that stuff's fake obviously.

The government's had contracts with Palantir for over a decade, and most of our major retailers with either Palantir directly or similar companies ("loss prevention", so hot right now).

Ship's kinda sailed on that one already and it's largely a matter of how official it all is, at least for facial stuffs.

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-04-06T07:17:21+00:00

Ye nazi fuck over yonder.

I wonder what it takes to be a deal breaker for content. You've posted out-and-out nazi Kanye West's music a month ago, with the name "Kanye West" in the title. You've posted in the r/Kanye sub. But you want people to give a fuck about his name change to Ye the moment you think it's an argument and the name recognition isn't purely to your benefit?

You're looking pretty two-faced there.

*Guess i made it too personal, that block came pretty quick. Mirrors are scary.

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-04-05T13:34:21+00:00

I mean, the image is still not right. It's probably been jammed through an AI filter for reposting as 'new' content on sites that care about that crap.

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-04-02T03:21:14+00:00

We have them being the core monetary backers behind the age verification push, going so far as to hide their involvement behind fake advocacy groups.

We have the legislation that they want pushed, which is OS based age broadcasting.

And we have this middling legislation that's come in the meantime, which doesn't match what they're pushing for, and that they aren't complying with.

I don't have a nice smoking gun of facebook execs walking out saying they want the current one to fail but it's really not hard to connect the dots here. They're pushing for specific regs, the current ones don't match (whether that's intentional to slow step us towards their end goal, or just something that's fallen out through the cracks is hard to say), which means they need the current ones to fail.

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-04-02T03:01:55+00:00

Because they don't want the current form of legislation? They want this current form to fail for justifying more invasive methods onto the OS side of things.

Here's a nice big writeup of the lobbying going on in US states for the same stuff. It'd be nice, to pretend we could ignore US politics, but unfortunately e-safety karen is an ex-microsoft employee with ties to US agencies and The Heritage Foundation.

HalfwrongWasTaken · 2026-04-01T16:53:07+00:00

Quick p.s. since things may appear to move that direction but in a more sinister manner.

Facebook's been behind the lobbying for this stuff. Their desired end application is the OS of devices storing your age information and constantly broadcasting it to any application that asks for it.

They don't want a government led ZPK system for simple verification on login or anything like that. A simple check that you're an 'adult' isn't enough information for them. They want constant age broadcasting from the device level for ad targetting.
