I feel like this is really simple stuff.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it’s probably a nazi.

I think we’re just testing the old adage that a lie told often enough becomes the truth.

How many lies does it take to get to the center of a reality pop?

On the surface it seems like a good idea: if the home isn’t going to be your primary residence you pay extra—a lot extra—to curtail a housing shortage caused in part by foreigners buying and inflating.

That said… if the issue there is anything like it is here in the states, the buyers will have more than enough capital to buy anyways and just pass the cost along to tenants… making the problem worse?

Fuck that rando, I guess?

Just generate a fake face with some generative tool.

Or, you know, be as appalled by this as I am and complain loudly. Maybe if enough of us do it it’ll become more trouble than it’s worth.

It might stop when the DB gets compromised and some exec gets threatened with the release of all his weird kinks going public.

With this method, users take a photo of their face which is then analyzed by AI to estimate their age. Tombs says this involves no analysis of the user’s actual identity, and that all photos are deleted once the check is finished. Hence, neither Yoti nor the porn site ever needs to know who you are.

No. Fuck no. Just… wow.

lol. We could probably solve cancer for good if the cure were instances of you deflecting your lack of a cogent argument by claiming that the other person “isn’t here for a discussion”.

Thanks for doubling down on my above points to help clarify them. I appreciate you.

Between Red Asphalt and an AP forensic criminology unit on vehicular collision I was successfully motivated to stay alive and in one piece while driving. Honestly probably kept me from being incredibly stupid on my motorcycle more than once as well.

One of us needs to do some growing up for sure; I suspect it’s the one saying that we can’t warn people about cancer because it’s the same as Chinese propaganda; that one-two punch of racism and non sequitur.

Keep being awesome man.

I suspect part of how annoying those labels feel is us being a little unsettled by just how many things around us might be killing us.

…is not informing or education, but nagging.

See, there’s that “it’s not education” thing again.

Fun fact: repetition is the key to internalizing information. This is like grade-school level stuff here. I bet when the teacher told you that you had to practice the alphabet more than once you threw a fit about them nagging you when you just wanted “education”.

You’re making an (asinine) assertion here that people aren’t changing their minds about smoking based on the warning labels, when even the barest little bit of effort on your part would turn up a wealth of studies demonstrating that the cigarette warnings have been very successful at getting people to quit.

Like, any effort at all. Just a little bit.

As an aside:

I love you…

Thanks, I guess, but let’s try to stay on topic.

I still don’t understand how a convicted felon loses the right to vote for president but can still be eligible to run for that office.

Makes sense for a rapist to conflate domination through violence with love, I guess.

I need to say that I adore how you have relentlessly asserted that it only counts as education if you’re told once and then never again, because putting a label on the bottle can’t possibly be a form of education.

It’s pretty cool how some people in the comments are just outright telling us they have no ground to stand on, though.

I don’t know how it works where you live but where I live you literally have to pass a test indicating that you know how to operate a car and how insanely dangerous operating one is before you can be licensed to drive.

“You just need to educate and inform!!!”

“Ok, we’ll educate and inform people using a proven method we’ve already successfully implemented with cigarettes”

“No not like that!!”

I may not have a monopoly on pain, but you’re certainly trying hard to have one on being intentionally obtuse.

Thanks, I appreciate you.
