  Can someone explain to me why Pirate Software has such a big problem with it, I tried to look it up and I’m still struggling to understand.

  ahh very good, sorry for the misunderstanding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Orleans debates real-time facial recognition legislation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh I know they’re not the first ones to get it but I do believe they’re the first ones to put the legal precedent in their actual, laws.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Orleans debates real-time facial recognition legislation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TLDR: New Orleans is poised to become the first U.S. city to legalize real-time police facial recognition surveillance, despite a 2022 ban. The push follows revelations that NOPD secretly used Project NOLA’s 200+ AI cameras for two years, making 34+ arrests without oversight. Proponents argue it’s vital for crime-fighting, citing Bourbon Street shootings and jailbreaks, while critics warn of dystopian privacy erosion and racial bias, referencing wrongful arrests like Randal Reid’s. With 70% public approval but fierce ACLU opposition, the vote could set a dangerous precedent: privatized mass surveillance with zero accountability.

  Look at the BEAUTIFUL Lockheed Martin and Plantir Stocks! Under Sleepy Joe, these patriotic job-creators were barely scraping by on a measly $29 trillion in defense handouts. But under MY leadership? taps podium We’ve achieved real American capitalism: where every missile strike means a 10% dividend bump and orphanages explode with shareholder value!

  For the production of the tank itself or the likelihood of environmental impact?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  true but we figured out things before like this when computer tech was rapidly changing so I do think it’s possible while definitely having its challenges.

  we need an alternative to needing a manufacturer specific part that costs nearly $15,000 and weighing in a ton and requiring a crane to replace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honda successfully launched and landed its own reusable rocket⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess both?

  I hate getting old, I feel the urge to go minutes after getting up now, like clockwork.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think EV battery cells should be standardized and modular to reduce difficulty of replacement and make replacements cheaper and more available so that it could extend the useful lifespan of the car.

  Would be pretty fun to mess with people, just dissolve the shell so it’s a white capsule and then when you’re having a bad day say “THAT’S IT” and it the skittle.

  Bonus points if you convulse and froth at the mouth.

  You’re right that media coverage needs to be scrutinized however I’d argue it’s easier said than done. We’re barraged by a constant onslaught of information far more than we have the time or energy to process. This problem is compounded by our tribal tendencies, which politicians exploit by flooding the discourse with empty controversies while quietly pushing through more sinister actions.

  This dynamic also helps explain why disadvantaged populations are often less informed or politically engaged. When daily life is a struggle for survival, scrutinizing this week’s partisan bill or police skirmish inevitably falls lower on the priority list.

  I couldn’t agree more unfortunately it just feels like the only real solution would be one at the government policy level

  I can’t imagine trying to pay with cash anymore, stores aren’t really set up for it anymore

  we only maintain cash symbolically

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear your frustration, and I won’t deny that some feminist spaces have blind spots or even hostility toward men’s issues. But dismissing the entire movement because of those flaws is like rejecting democracy because some politicians are corrupt it throws out the good with the bad. Feminism, at its core, is about dismantling rigid gender roles, which harms men too (e.g., stigma around male vulnerability, custody biases, conscription).

  You’re right that some self-labeled feminists don’t live up to that ideal, but that doesn’t negate the millions who fight for parental leave, against male suicide stigma, or for LGBTQ+ rights. If you’ve been burned by hypocrites, I get it but I’d encourage you to judge ideas by their best advocates, not their worst.

  That said, I’m open to your examples. If we agree the goal is equality, maybe we can find common ground on where movements fall short.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe in some circles but I’ve always felt welcomed and supported by the women around me. I’m sorry that you can’t say the same.

  I want you to know that your feelings are valid but please don’t let the actions of a few reactionaries spoil the entire ideal that feminism stands on.
