The guy I was responding to wasn’t earnestly saying that the guy should be charged. He was making a bad faith argument that any law enforcement interaction that doesn’t include an arrest is unlawful. He’s making it seem like the police have no authority to speak to you without a warrant. I was informing him of what is actually happening, not saying he shouldn’t be arrested.

Our wetware neutral networks probably aren’t supposed to engage with synthetic content like this either. In a few years we’re gonna learn that overexposure to AI generated content creates some sort of neurological problem in people, like a real-world “nerve attenuation syndrome” (Johnny Mnemonic).

It’s called being let go with a warning. It’s letting you know your threats are being taken seriously, and that consequences are coming if you don’t stop.

And what has he done since? Gone back online and said that killing Kamala Harris is constitutionally protected because of the Second Amendment… (It is not)

I hope they arrest him, because making terroristic threats is, in fact, a crime.

Yes, I am absolutely okay with this. Violent threats and calls for murder are not protected speech, and there should be legal consequences for them. Free speech is not absolute.

they completely abandoned everything they ran on

First and foremost, no she didn’t. She’s still one of the most progressive members of Congress, and she continues to fight for realistic progressive policies including universal healthcare, free college, and housing as a human right.

You’re welcome to disagree though. Move to her district so you can campaign and vote against her if it really matters to you. Her district keeps reelecting her (82.2% of the vote this year) so I guess she presently represents them quite well.

Or, if relocating so that you get a say in AOC’s representative abilities isn’t a part of your game plan, consider campaigning for the kind of representation you want to see for your current congressional district. Take a stand where you actually get a voice.

But your constant opposition to Democrats, two months away from an election where Fascism is knocking at the door, isn’t helpful. If your goal is a progressive future, you need to be paying attention to what’s on the line right now. If your priority is to purity test Liberals instead of campaigning against Fascist Republicans like lives depend on it (they do), then you’ve completely lost the plot.

One side ® is starting Pograms and threatening genocide against millions of immigrants. The other (D) doesn’t promise your ideal leftist utopia. Think hard about which of these concessions you’re willing to accept as you continue constantly attacking Democrats with nobody lined up to replace them but Republicans.

It definitely sounds like an ‘n’ sound.

And his mouth doesn’t close when he says it, so it certainly looks like an ‘n’ sound.

But I’ll humor you on the suggestion that he just pronounced “mig” funny: Why did he pronounce “rents” as “iggers”?

Explain how it’s bullshit.

The great replacement conspiracy theory is explicitly racist, not classist.

That doesn’t mean you’re being replaced. It means demographics are changing, like they always do.

If you feel threatened by that, you do you, but I don’t give a shit.

Trump: /openly peddles Neo-Nazi rhetoric/

Neo-Nazis: /Celebrate that Trump and friends are peddling their propaganda/

Salon: /Reports on the mainstreaming of extremist political views by Trump and other Republicans/

You: “Salon should shut the fuck up”

It seems you picked a side in this issue, and that side is decidedly against the press and not against Fascism.

This only affects the ultra rich, so maybe they have it coming to them.

Don’t be reductive. Anyone who owns $100M worth of investments, be they stocks, bonds, or real estate holdings, needs to pay more in taxes.

This is targeting 1%ers hoarding capital, not your rental properties. We’ll come after landlords’ underserved income later as we further tackle the housing affordability crisis.

347 Mbit/s maximum. (But don’t expect that at 9.9 miles…)

The "WiFi HaLow"name itself indicates lower power usage than traditional Wifi, largely because it uses the 900MHz band instead of the 2.4/5/6GHz bands.

Likewise, it isn’t compatible with existing WiFi client devices that don’t operate at those bands.

This is like a 30 minute beginner’s API project. If that admin is married to it, they have bad priorities.

Yeah, historical accuracy is implicitly anti-Conservative. Before you know it you’ll be asking for such biased things as “evidence” and “accountability”.

“My father is running out of lives here,” son Eric Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “How many more rifles are going to come within assassination distance of my father?”

THEY’RE BLAMING THE GUNS! 😂

So you’re saying that we should be concerned with datacenters more than things like factory farming and oil & gas?

I don’t follow. I need a lot more evidence of harm before I become “very concerned” about datacenters specifically.

Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

I think you would be shocked if you learned what some other things in our world cost in CO2.

The energy costs of cryptocurrency mining are easy to calculate because the system is extremely transparent. AI is a little muddier, but we know how much big tech is expanding data centers, and we know how many enterprise GPUs Nvidia sells, so we get a decent estimate.

But these things don’t actually do as much damage as compared to other things. Imagine how much energy is used for Gaming PCs and consoles. It’s probably up there with Crypto and AI if you consider all running consoles and PCs, plus all the multiplayer infrastructure. But we don’t have numbers because this is hard to calculate.

And then there’s stuff like personal automobiles, that completely blow these other things out-of-the-water.

What do you disagree with specifically? It only affects people with over $100M in wealth.

Do you think the tax goes too far, and if so, why are you protecting the wealth of the 1%?

Or do you think the tax doesn’t go far enough, and if so, wouldn’t opposition it just mean not passing a tax at all, which would be worse?

Or do you know nothing about her proposal and thought it was going to affect your paltry investment income?

It’s more like the Republican party has moved so far to the extreme that other party members are endorsing the opposition party candidate because they recognize who the lesser of two evils is.

Kamala is a shift to the left from Biden. You should be fucking happy.
