I think the issue is that there is sexual imagery of the person being created and shared without that persons consent.
It’s akin to taking nude photos of someone without their consent, or sharing nude photos with someone other than their intended audience.
Even if there were no stigma attached to nudes, that doesn’t mean someone would their nudes to exist or be shared.
I watched some of it, all I saw were specious arguments that I’d expect to hear from goth teenagers at the mall. Maybe tankies find this kind of stuff compelling, rational people probably won’t.
One person doing something bad? You clearly didn’t read the article.
And to suggest that our scientific research institutions shouldn’t be scrutinized or there isn’t room to improve the process is a little naive.
I generally have a pretty high trust in science, but my faith is shaken when I come across shit like this
That’s “doing what you can and not taking responsibility for things that aren’t your fault”
I think it’s a combination of learned helplessness and an unrealistic expectation of your ability to affect change.
As of July 1st, 2023, there are 334,914,895 million people participating in the US political system, I think it would be a little ridiculous if every one of them could influence our government. Not all the people can vote, but they’re still participating in the political system whether they know it or not.
Each of these people have their own ideas, hopes, dreams, ideologies. It takes a long time to sway that much public opinion, even when you aren’t fighting disinformation campaigns from powerful corporations and state actors. Keep at it and have realistic expectations about the impact you’ll have and how quickly things will change.
Do what you can, live the best life you can, and don’t take responsibility for things that aren’t your fault.
Edit: corrected the population of the United States because people oddly focused on that part of my comment.
I’m a data scientist for a mid-size finance company.
My masters degree in statistics has been instrumental in my job, both in getting the job and using the skills I learned on a daily basis.
My degree 100% improved my life and opened doors for me that I wouldn’t even have known about without it.
I typically only go when she’s working because she and I get along well
I think this was the part where things might have gotten creepy
I’ve had my eye on the Framework 16 and it has an option for an AMD processor and dedicated graphics card.
At the risk of sounding like a monster, I can’t think of a single main/side I wouldn’t combo.
Can you give an example that doesn’t go together?
You’re 100% correct, and I’m voting across the board for Republicans so that the DNC will stop running facist neo-cons. It’s like Biden’s policies have been written for him by Trump, absolutely sickening.
That would be almost as stupid as attacking a country with an extreme rightwing government run by people who are looking for an excuse to use their incredibly powerful military to seize your land. A government run by a corrupt politician that would love to have a war that lasts as long as possible so they cling to power.
Hamas probably wouldn’t shoot down food aid planes, but they’re certainly stupid enough to try.
Iran and the Hamas leadership have never had the Gazan civilian’s best interest at heart; they’ve just used Israel and the fight against occupation as an excuse to maintain power and expand their influence.
Israel is conducting this genocide, but Israel never would have had an excuse to enter the Gaza strip without the attack on October 7th. Hamas had to have known their attack wouldn’t accomplish anything and would illicit a strong and disproportionate response from Israel. Now the citizens of Gaza are paying the price while the Hamas leadership fucks off to chill in Qatar.
Where did you get “it costs literally 12 cents a box”? Is that a random number for effect or do you have some insider knowledge and know that for sure?
Either way is fine with me, just curious because it seems like a very small amount after paying for the raw materials, the workers wages, the shipping costs, and the grocery store overhead, etc.
