There’s a difference between being banned for cause and “deplatformed”. Dr disrespect kept his platform, he still has an audience, and he never really stopped streaming.

This dude groomed a minor. You have to make a choice there as an organization whether you want to give this person the opportunity to continue to do that with the same power dynamic. Twitch said no.

They fucked up not making it public, it was the right thing to do not to allow him to continue to prey on the audience he had through twitch. Unfortunately once that bridge is burned there are plenty of other places you can still have an audience.

All the stuff that happened to him after were consequences of his initial action of grooming a minor.

Not a big international news reader, huh?

She’s right to support the girl, obviously, but as a prosecutor she’s aware she has to keep those feelings private if there’s a chance she’s going to be prosecuting this case.

Hold a gun to my head, she’s absolutely aware of that too, painfully aware after what she’s gone through previously. But as a public figure who may run for additional offices, she likely HAS to have a public opinion on this because people will demand it. It’s her opinion, but it’s performative for her potential constituency, if you catch my meaning.

I bet she understands the tight rope she’s walking, and I bet she already knew making that statement would be a problem.

Oooh, this is already a mess. Do the right thing and mercy kill this thread.

Legit, and if you really think about it the venn diagram of people who would want this job and people who have pictures like this is just 1 circle. A toilet bowl really.

“HATE, LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE.”

Killer band name, we still pointing that out?

Part of American propaganda is we don’t talk about our incredibly dire water situation. If you don’t live in a place that has a direct issue, like Flint, you don’t know that the water supply is balanced on a knife edge, or that the infrastructure is crumbling and making the drinkable water we do have unsafe. Or about how many aquifers get fouled by the oil industry.

This place is a dumpster fire.

I think we want your lumber and potash more, but yeah the oil too.

I can’t legally agree with you, one of my parents is a naturalized citizen, I could be deported as an example at the drop of a hat.

I think Russia poses a threat to anyone no matter how deep a hole they are currently in, they are a nuclear power, and even though the most likely people on the planet to use a nuke are the US in Iran or Israel in Iran, the threat of a nuclear powered nation engaging in offensive war is terrifying.

No matter how well the EU would be able to defend, and I have very very little opinion there, my info is extremely low with EU matters, Russia testing Nato directly would show that the agreement effectively doesn’t exist. I think it’s just as likely that Nato/EU does as much about Russian aggression as they did with Ukraine, no matter where it happens.

I could be totally wrong there, I’m willing to be totally wrong there.

I think drones as a fundamental technology of war have changed the game in a way you wouldn’t call air supremacy. Air supremacy used to rely on incredibly expensive pieces of flight equipment, even the drones. Now the tech involves things that cost pennies in comparison (basically consumer drone tech with military grade explosives tapes to them) that can take out a piece of equipment which is nearly irreplaceable. War has changed right under the nose of the US and Russia. At least Russia is trying to catch up, the US is rejecting this tech and trying to put more pieces of 7-8 figure equipment in the air.

That’s a fair hit

The damage gambling does to society in general and families specifically is horrific. It’s one of those things that hotwires the reward systems of a persons brain as surely as alcohol or opioids. And it’s so casual, gambling, especially at this level, finds the people who are susceptible, and exploits them until they are rung out like a dry cloth.

You may be one of the people who can just casually gamble, and not understand why it’s so crazy destructive, or you could be 10 toes in a downward spiral, there’s no way for me to know.

This period of legalized gambling is going to go have a body count at the end of it, a huge one.

In my experience those milk/bubble tea places purposefully over brew the tea so you can taste it against all the flavors they mix it with. Like how Starbucks brews espresso that tastes like car tires so it stands up against a milk shake.

I wonder if they tested the husband’s blood against the blood on the handle and knife?

In California both dude and bruh have become non-gendered to the young. It’s odd to listen to.

I would argue star treks AI is constantly going wrong, and the fact that it can create objects which can actually harm you, is taken with a grain of salt by them.

Holodecks are incredibly dangerous, easily hacked, and the holo style workers they they, like the doctor on Voyager, will IMMEDIATELY TURN EVIL WHEN ANYTHING TOUCHES THEIR ETHICS SUBROUTINES!

Their use is AI should be terrifying to us.

And Joe Rogan is just a podcaster, crazy how much soft power is a thing.
