Only pedophiles defend pedophiles.
And I fucking HATE pedophiles.
Woody Allen is still a pedophile who raped one of his own young step-daughters and married another.
People who defend that shit are SICK.
In short, Microsoft is now doing for ICE what they were doing for Israel in 2024-2025 to support the genocide:
‘The machine did it coldly’: Israel used AI to identify 37,000 Hamas targets – The Guardian
Note: these are all Graun links because they are what I had in my browser history and because they specifically made a point of looking into it, as opposed to other major news outlets. I’m sure there are other sources as well, I just didn’t look for any.
Yeah, exactly. That shit’s not gone at all. It’s just hidden for now. And if we the public don’t pay for it directly as a feature, these companies will still scoop up the data and just sell it to each other.
Speaking solely for myself, I have accepted that I am as susceptible to marketing and propaganda as any other human, in an age where we are surrounded by it, none of it honest, none of it in my own best interest.
My response to this has been to cut off all possible routes of advertising: I literally do not watch or read anything that has ads, except possibly passing billboards and in-store ads. I don’t play games that have ads. I don’t listen to radio. I have adblocker on everything, or I simply leave. I can’t stand ads, and I have cut them out of everything I can. I’d genuinely rather quit a service than submit to ads. (And yes, I do love just plain silence, whenever I can get it.)
So yeah, I’m immune: they can’t influence me if they can’t get access. That’s the best kind of immunity there is.
You: I’ve pulled the ideas out my bum honestly.
Me, reading: This is intuitive genius. Seriously.
You’ve said your strategy essentially comes from listening/observing closely and winging it, but honestly what you’re achieving just through keeping at it every way you can is amazing. Apart from not being more condensed (smaller, tighter) that handwriting is actually more legible than I’ve seen from more than a few adults, including the slight nod to the presence of lines. I am not exaggerating.
Your creativity and temerity are both inspiring. Your son is lucky to have you.
All true, but the reflective “anti-paparazzi” scarves and such that I’ve seen do not appear to be reflective. They really just fuck up unwanted pictures/recordings by throwing off the camera’s light balance, especially when flash is used.
I’ve been thinking that ever since I saw her sitting next to her obviously stroke-afflicted husband at that failed Army extravaganza on his birthday, looking like she was just waiting to snatch his soul. There’s even a mention of her in the Wikipedia page:
It’s definitely a look that suits them both, lol.
One, holy shit. And that was over twenty years ago: there is zero possibility it’s gotten any better since.
Two, I love this woman’s blunt honesty. Her take on all of it is fantastic, especially how the “they’re missing something behind their eyes” was so accurate. It’s just horrible how she came to have that knowledge.
Three, read the transcript if you can’t sit still for the whole thing, but either way try to make it to the end. After she gets done with her own personal experiences, she’s all,
But the difference is now you know exactly why she says that, and with the power and force of her entire being. Shit, I would too.
