More like the judge saying, “I know this is a pretty cut and dry legal case, but I’m gonna do my part for my team.”

You say it was a coincidence, but how do we know that his name didn’t encourage his invention?

Maybe if his name was Thomas Cureforcancer we would be living in a very different world.

I’m ok with no kids at bars and breweries. And no you can’t abuse children just to make a political point.

Have you considered not blaming the victims for crimes against them?

It’s a not an echo chamber entirely, if you look at my votes on the meme, it’s a fair split for something that is generally against the popular opinion (the popular opinion being “just blame the parents”).

But the “pile on” nature of Lemmy is very real.

It’s a “stop just blaming the parents meme”. That’s lazy.

Clearly you’re not a parent. Which of fine, but don’t criticize.

This is going to get hated around here, but LLMs are actually a lot more useful than just being silly toys.

I use it for work regularly and it produces reports comparable to what I would expect from a entry level engineer. It has problems that have to be fixed during review for sure, but so do entry level engineers.

Now that’s not to say that it’s ultimately going to prove it’s multi-trillion dollar investment value. If it doesn’t progress significantly, and very quickly, than these companies will start to run out of investment money.

But that’s how the “free market” is supposed to work. Investors invest in something to develop the idea. If it doesn’t work then the investors lose their money.

The thing that’s broken in our economy is that the federal government isn’t allowing the market to make corrections. For every correction since the dot-com bubble burst the federal government has swooped in and bailed out the bag investments, preventing the correction to occur. And so, for the past 15 years, investors have just moved forward with the assumption that if there is a correction then the federal government will bail them out, so there is no reason to ever pull back on investing because there is no risk anymore, which creates a self-fullfilling prophecy and prevents corrections.

It’s sort of looks like we’ve accidentally figured out how to cure recessions.

But I don’t have the luxury of knowing specifically where and when the people that break things are going to be.

That comment really triggered you didn’t it. Sorry about that.

I don’t know, I think it’s a pretty common refrain.

Maybe not common in progressive social media circles.

Yeah, it would be. And my reply comment would also be the same.

Women: Why didn’t men ask women out anymore?

Also women:

Yeah have someone burn down your house and then file an insurance claim.

See how that goes for you.

Ironically, arson is a felony and it’s unlikely that insurers cover such events that are due to criminal acts.

Insurers are likely not paying out anything.

Disney is all: Calling it “Euro”? Let us know how that goes…

Light Italian Reasonably-sized-home owner and Episcopalian.

Wait… Was this supposed to be my stripper name or my dating app tag?

You really underestimate the trouble meta and YouTube are in. The specific rulings were barely tickets to them, but if they are upheld then follows flood gates of identical lawsuits are going to be opened up. They had millions and millions of child users in the 2010s that they knowingly served an addictive product to. If the current ruling is upheld, then there will likely be a very large class action settlement to payoff all the past injured users. But instead of changing their product going forward they want to get rid of the responsibility for their product entirely.

Stop making up fake conspiracies and be mad about that.

I don’t agree that Epstein is much of a counter point. There were lots of people taking about him, it really wasn’t that closely held of a secret, and he was arrested and prosecuted and murdered for it. Ultimately, with the files released, there really isn’t much in them that we didn’t already know.

Just to clear something up, my brand new account is only new because lemmings.world is closing and I had to migrate to a new server.
