I am now addicted to BitBurner and I blame you

Care to share what you use to do surveys for Amazon money? How long have you been doing it?

It’s not that my boss cares per se, but I still think people form a subconscious image of your work ethic, and I think it’s always better to be seen as a “hard worker” when it comes to promotion time

An ex gave me an old pair of her’s that she used for work and I’ve been a fan ever since

You realize that a comments section can have more than 1 discussion going on in it, right? It’s not a “distraction” to talk about something else or disagree with a part of someone’s comment.

The point being discussed is that this is a terrible law and an example of Mississippi being a shit hole

This is not the comment I replied to. The comment I replied to was essentially saying that MS and therefore the US are not worth visiting, and I think that’s silly.

“This is fine”

I didn’t say this. I actually agree with you that the MS law is terrible, but trying to push back on the general sentiment of the original comment I replied to: saying the US is the “worst” because of something that Mississippi does.

You’re actually arguing that the difference between being put to death and not is a “millimeter off the floor”? That is some privileged nonsense, frankly.

I agree that the US has problems, but hyperbolic doomerism is hardly conducive to changing any of that.

Do you personally view relationships that way? Transactional? In my experience there is a whole range of people when it comes to how much money matters to them, and seeing it as black and white is really limiting your options.

just go fuck yourself, how’s that?

This also seems incredibly dramatic

I’m not trying to say that the US is perfect, but do you honestly believe that the US is the “worst” place to be any of the things you listed?

There are plenty of places in the world you would be put to death for being gay. Try asking an immigrant from literally any of those countries if they prefer the US and get back to me.

Brother, these are super bizarre examples, and do not match my experience as a man whatsoever.

My past partners (and current too) absolutely would drive me to the hospital, even those with whom I just had a casual and completely financially independent relationship with. I even had an experience pretty similar to this in the past.

How does your world view account for relationships where the woman makes more money than the man?

Seems like somebody hurt you.

the worst country

This seems a little dramatic

Edit: lol downvoted for mildly pushing back against the idea that the US is the worst of the ~200 other countries in the world. Never change, Lemmy.

What part of Claude 3 is open source? I tried to do some googling to find something, but came up short. Got a link?

How does VSCodium differ from the community version?

I’m curious, how did you find out about and start using Lemmy? Most folks on Reddit when the API fiasco was happening acted like you needed to be a tech god to even sign up, so I’m curious if you felt intimidated at all?

His stake in his “media” company is (nonsensically) still worth billions of dollars right now. He probably won’t be able to cash all of that out if he wanted to, but he is definitely not broke.

I will probably get downvoted for saying it, but this post and the response here reminds me a lot of things you’d see on r/conservative in that people take an isolated hateful incident and extrapolate to say that this is the start of a civil war and we need to mount an equally forceful response. Yes this is a tragedy, unhinged, and terroristic behavior, but, as someone from a deeply red state who has some ultra-conservative family, 0 of them are even remotely close to wanting to fight and die over pride flags.

I only say this because the sentiment that “there is no other way out of this but civil war” is not anywhere close to true, in my mind, and only serves to stop coherent discussion.

They aren’t removing content for a legit reason

They aren’t actually removing content at all. They’re just adding a 5 second delay to websites they don’t like. I still think it would be an uphill battle to try to prove that this causes “substantial injury to consumers” or that it “cannot reasonably be avoided by consumers” since they could still go to the website on their own.

I don’t really think the “promises free speech” argument would fly either because that would open the door to sue over anyone moderating anything at all, leaving aside that the term “free speech” as it was used by Musk is subjective and was never defined by the platform. There was even a time where they just outright disallowed posting any link to other competitors and that was never challenged in court. The statutes do have catch-alls but that doesn’t mean there is no standard by which you have to measure up against to prove that it fits one of those categories.

Bad faith? Yes. Illegal? It’s definitely not clear cut, and it seems like the answer is probably not.

Has anything remotely like this ever been litigated before? All I can find is that Unfair Trade Practice usually deals with “misrepresentation, false advertising or representation of a good or service, tied selling, false free prize or gift offers, deceptive pricing, and noncompliance with manufacturing standards,” none of which cover throttling access to other sites from your own. I agree that this is shitty and everyone should get off Twitter, but to say it’s illegal seems like a bit of a stretch.

What law does this violate?

This is irresponsible speculation, in my opinion. I have not heard any credible legal sources say that what he posted constitutes witness tampering, and judges have given him wide latitude in the past with regards to what he is allowed to say publicly because of his role as a public figure. It is far from a foregone conclusion that he “sentenced himself to minimum of 2 years” considering he has not even been charged with anything at all regarding that incident.
