- Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it. 1 day ago:
Technically you aren’t allowed to stab until they stop moving, just until they are no longer a threat. Stab em in the leg and run. Self defence isn’t a license to kill it’s a way to not go to jail if killing was literally the option available.

If you escalate it, you will eventually get into a point where you fear for your life, so then literally every conflict you can then claim self defense.
- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 2 days ago:
What’s the point of AI if you need to search for the source to make sure it’s right everytime? Just skip a step and search for a source first thing.

Yeah the fact that she is transgender has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she murdered someone, the only reason the press is including that fact is to stir up drama, hate, and ad revenue. It’s pretty despicable, but I have come to expect nothing more from the press. There is no such thing as an honourable news reporter these days, just gossip columnists.
- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 2 days ago:
Pretty much anything tech support, it gives you options which no longer exist anymore because the solution it is suggesting is from a slightly older windows/android version and the UI changed so the option is no longer where it thinks.
Also asking if particular wildlife in in a particular location. Tried asking it if polar bears were in a location I’m going to visit and it said yes, but a quick search through its sources confirmed that was false and the nearest Polaris bears are hundreds of miles away.

Ya I can see AI resulting in many deaths if people start trusting it for things like “is this mushroom edible”?

Most of the time if I read the AI summary from Google it’s wrong. Very few times has it actually been helpful.

“Emotional” is the perfect way to infuriate insecure “macho” men (anger is an emotion by the way)
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 1 week ago:
For things like language, math, and science you could probably have an AI teacher on individualized tablets or something that go at each child’s own pace in a classroom setting that’s just supervised by someone and can provide extra help / tech support when the AI goes on the fritz.
Then regular recess/lunch shenanigans and gym class, art, music, for the social aspect.
The AI could even be programmed to do team projects where you link your tablet with 4 others and they all help the group do a project
Eventually when AI advances and isn’t complete dog shit, that is.

None of the above. I’m a long sleeve shirt and full pajama bottoms person.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
I can see why parents are so long when you need to build like a billion dollar factory to make a product and mass produce it.
Digital concepts don’t take that much investment and once you have it you don’t need to invest in making more, it’s just there.
So yes, digital patents should be a fraction of the time that physical patents should be. Like 2 years instead of 20.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 3 weeks ago:
How is it that pokemon has a hold on things like animals allowing flight, but gliders allowing flight isn’t under patent?
Like, whoever did gliders first needs to sue Nintendo to change breath of the wild, no gliders allowed anymore.

- Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them... 4 weeks ago:
You still need a rule, but just don’t be lazy and have a blanket rule. Instead of always have a hard hat, just say hard hats required if there are any objects on site withing 30 feet that are above 6’ or something.
If a business doesn’t buy hard hats because it only applies some of the time, then fine then when people aren’t wearing hard hats when there are objects within 30 feet of working that’s are higher than 6’.
My business works In one area for 30 minutes every 2 weeks that requires a hard hat. The rest of the time it isn’t required. We still provide the hard hats. But expecting employees to wear them everywhere else is ridiculous.
- Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them... 4 weeks ago:
I’m all for safety regulations and laws, but I also understand why people are frustrated with them.
People writing the laws or corporate policies are incredibly lazy and just copy paste a bunch of stuff to where it’s not really required imo.
Like workcrews must always have a hardhat on. Then there are landscapers working in a garden pulling weeds even if there are no trees for miles. What’s going to happen? A tornado throws a rake at your head?
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 5 weeks ago:
When the only other option is to take someone’s license away and they can’t work anymore it makes it difficult. Another option that forces people to obey the law would help everyone.
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 5 weeks ago:
Repeat speeders should need to have speed limiters installed on their vehicles.
Someone I know speeds all the fucking time and constantly gets tickets but fights every single one because he knows the cops probably won’t show up and he keeps his license. He just says he needs his licence to work and the judge takes pity and gives the fine but not the points which would take the license away. Wasted court time and he is never going to not speed… Even if his license were taken away I bet he would just drive without one.

It drives me insane when I randomly get Microsoft telling me to finish setting up my PC like 5 years into owning it and all its trying to do is get me to reset my default browser to edge. Fucking annoying as shit.

There really should be some sort of industrial standard for journalism. Like a lawyer needs to pass the bar exam and be in good standing or be disbarred, a journalist should have to be licensed or recognized and if they are shown to be spreading falsehoods or doing other unethical things have their license revoked.
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 1 month ago:
I found humankind to be very difficult to go the domination path, but I haven’t played since close to release.
It was very prohibitive to take direct control of conquered cities as the cost seemed exponential, and you had to constantly declare peace and then go right back to war or something if I remember correctly. It seemed like a silly system
- Comment on I hope she found herself 1 month ago:
I think I’m one. Tried weed multiple times in different types but never had any sort of experience let alone enjoyable one. Smoke a joint, just get sore lungs. Eat edibles? Bleh, just a gross tasting candy.
Only time I felt anything was after a 50mg gummy, and that was just a bit of light headedness for a half hour.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 month ago:
The problem I mostly have is even when those costs are recouped most companies fight tooth and nail to keep the prices high and unaffordable in order to line the pockets of investors.

So it sort of opened to a +3% roughly this morning. Is that just a dead cat bounce as people try and catch the falling knife?
- Comment on An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it. 1 month ago:
Why is that a problem? It gets rid of bias and would actually help minorities defeat bias in the court and get a more fair judgement.

Yeah honestly I don’t see a problem with this. If it’s his own words why does it matter if it’s AI speaking or himself? Even if it’s not his own words, he could just as easily say the same shit on camera, why does the person in the video needs to be him?
