Yeah, was inevitable that "China-style social credit" systems would eventually come here as well. Sad to see but not surprising in the least. The goal is to make sure there is no grassroots support for these causes, stopping just short of making the entire premise (support for Palestine) illegal itself.
This is exactly it. Also the reason that inputting an excerpt of a classical text (cfr. Dracula, Frankenstein, ...) returns "likely AI" results - it's literally what it was trained on.
Whenever I see a "x amount of jobs created" headline, in my head it translates to "Yeah, but how many of those are actual decent full time positions with benefits?"
A good person is someone who has (almost) no vices. There are obviously varying degrees, and not all vices are equal. But my bar for clearing "good person" is pretty damned high, and I personally don't make it by a long shot.
I've unfortunately learned that continued masking is the price we have to pay for our existence in this society. The few times I let up I paid dearly (broke down at work due to years of accumulating stress - fired. Broke down at home because of the former - almost lost my relationship. Etc.).
I'm no longer willing to jeopardize my already bleak future with it.
The guy has been trying for literal decades. He hasn't wavered from that mission or sold out somehow AFAIK. It must take an enormous amount of willpower to even continue in the face of such overwhelming odds. Don't think it's entirely fair to put this blame on him.
Exactly this. I'm middle aged, haven't accomplished anything worthwhile with my life and wouldn't mind taking one for the team, if it would but have enough of an impact.
Having owned many chickens over the years, their actual intelligence varies quite a bit. In my experience the regular brown laying hens don't usually have too much going on "up there". Pedigreed chickens are usually a good bit smarter. I assume this is mostly because of mass breeding which hasn't occurred with "fancy" breeds nearly as much as with staple animals.
Don't currently own any LG brand gear, although I assumed they were a decent brand until recently.
This certainly removed them from any consideration in the future, fuck that noise.
So far, I haven't had to ID verify for anything. The moment I do it's immediately over. I will live like a 1700's hermit before I'll permit it.
Having just gotten an offer after 9 months of being jobless, I can relate to this. Although the 1k/month hike vs my previous job is a nice incentive.
"Are there any turds that aren't made of feces?"

Some extreme vulnerability was discovered that warranted immediate patching would be my guess.

Like flies on a turd.

No. And I'm highly suspicious of anyone claiming to be.

A portal to hell. Which just leads back to Earth.
Jobs was a narcissist and a raging asshole, but something tells me he wouldn't have acquiesced that easily to a Trump regime.

ACAB. No exceptions.
Mostly because they can't read in the first place...

They Michael Afton'd him straight up.
