At least with dotcom and mortgages we had an assets bubble that didn’t have a shelf life of 5 years. It’s not like the capacity we are building now will be useful after the end of the decade

Remember, every accusation is a confession. If you don’t want to be a waste of time to be around then don’t act like that’s true of others.

Back in the day people would gather on a porch and play music. Relatively free. Wish I knew how to play an instrument …

Here’s the thing, if we keep doing politics that plays to people’s stupidity rather than their ability to think independently then we might as well ditch democracy.

We don’t know if the victim did nothing though, she talked to a detective for over 20 minutes and so far we have not seen any documents regarding that conversation. She could have even done more than you, but we should not expect her to even though that is the response of some victims, it is not a universal response.

Capitalism is when most people don’t know the definition of capitalism:

an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit.

Which sounds a lot like oligarchy with a profit motive.

There are plenty of reasons to make up a story.

Like being targeted for harassment and possibly get murdered? This is not a typical rape accusation, it is made against someone who has been carrying out extra-judicial murders abroad.

And I bet she took great effort to gather evidence

This is classic rape apologetics. It is not the victim’s job to collect evidence while they are distressed, that’s the job of the investigators.

There’s another report in the files where a woman did report her rape to the police and she was later found dead with her “head blown off”. Under a functional justice system that would be thoroughly investigated, under our system it was quickly ruled a suicide because she took “bad cocaine”.

These papers are being released because our justice system did not protect these victims. It is up to the public to ask questions and we need not presume innocence of the powerful as they failed to protect the vulnerable.

I mean chattel slavery requires rape at some point and the vast majority of the Founding Fathers were slave owners…

Not true, there are dozens of people who changed their mind, dozens!

Ehh, we don’t know because where is that 20 minute conversation she had with a detective documented? Also, if the intention was to harm Trump’s image or whatnot, wouldn’t a media circus be where to go with the story?

But maybe if I use AI I can be wealthy. Sure it is accelerating climate change and will undoubtedly cost lives, but that is a small price to pay for me to horde money like a dragon.

I’m skeptical they could do it in a way that meaningfully inherits stability from Linux. Imagine bolting on their service control on top of systemd or map their registry system to /etc. They either bring all the bad over to Linux or write something that doesn’t support the windows ecosystem.

“We need to suspend the law to save the law order few privileges I have left”

She didn’t even use the Bible as a source - did not mention a single verse. She basically using herself as the sole source because there are 0 citations.

She didn’t even quote the Bible, just asserted that her interpretation is the right one without mentioning a single verse.

Oh I didn’t mean that I am a contrarian, obviously we are the exception 😉

More like Jesus became a big problem for people with power and was made to suffer for it. Bonhoeffer was not saying that we should conceal our suffering in a way that it isn’t a problem for others. This was is in a larger essay about how people cope with Nazism at the time, very clear-headed but was calling out those who did little because they didn’t want to suffer and how we judged harshly those who lost everything.

I prefer Bonhoeffer’s take: we should judge people less by what they have or do and more by what they are made to suffer.
