This was the perfect explanation. Thank you.

OP, says something to me that’s very clear about your sense of humor that you didn’t see any of this. There is an entire layer of humanity that you’re missing in your day to day life. That makes me sad.

“We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it’s not) what do we think the chances are that the “appropriate person” will be one of two things:

1. Another cop

2. A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for “internal investigation”, as long as the bill is paid.

Emboldened oligarch in a plutocracy.

But also kleptocracy and really a kakistocracy disguised outwardly as an aristocracy or neo-monarchy as Raskin said.

Outside of just saying “America” or “Capitalism” How do we combine all of this into one satisfying, effective term?

I’m sure they made $600 million through this breech somehow?

So fucking crazy that anyone will repeat something when the only source is “According to the Trump campaign”

First and foremost, it’s because libertarians aren’t a thing

• They are republicans that are too embarrassed to identify as such publicly .

An actual crunchwrap has never looked like that.

They need to remake “falling down” for millenials, but it’s at taco bell. Or maybe they don’t, I don’t know…

She looks so much like John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) in that photo

Wrong. The correct act is to put the cart out of the way of others, but not in the corral.

You then help provide a job to a person that capitalism wants to take away. They want your free labor. And then they provide less and less corals to save those extra pennies, knowing that you’ll walk. Fuck them.

Anything about his general philosophy though… Decent person?

I’m just weary these days of people quietly pushing odd agendas in innocuous ways in unrelated content, so I like to walk into a new person with a more detailed intro from someone who is already a fan. Otherwise you get things like, “This is the way to make the best brownies for a summer picnic. We’ll go through the recipe step by step and you’ll love these brownies! I love Summer, it’s a great time for picnics and also a great time to not get vaccinated and do a January 6th because what is a woman and CRT!”

Who is this YouTuber? Good person generally?

You just risk staying in limbo if not direct/literal effigy IMO… All young males in general have the earned reputation of typically being oblivious of expressed female romantic advances (just search Reddit, you’ll see 300 posts speaking to this per day). On top of that general difficulty, you have the compounding factor of their atypical mental processing.

So do what you think is right. Hope it works out for you both.

Don’t feel there are many people who actually use the phrase “free speech absolutist” these days, as a forward self-identification, who have much personal integrity or actual understanding of what that phrase might mean.

The nuerodivergent part suggests you’re going to just need to be direct.

“I really enjoy our friendship, it’s important to me. I want to make sure we keep that friendship regardless, but I’ve also realized I might be developing more romantic feelings for you that I’d like to explore together - maybe you’ve had thoughts/feelings like that about me before? If not, that’s cool, I just feel better having said it to you so it’s out of my head :) but yeah, I like you and I’d like us to get dinner on an actual date date sometime and see how we both feel. What do you think?”

Or there’s always Margaret Cho’s technique…

Yes. Executive responsible.

No worries. Just phrase as “What are some android games that are good for kids, age X - X, with a traditionally feminine or “girly” aesthetic?”

That asks your same question, without implying (intentionally or not) that all girls are a “princess that likes pink”

Just whatever makes sense

“What kind of chair do you want?”

“Just whatever makes sense”

You know what is a great android game for girls… Any good android game. And that’s because girls are people. They have a diverse set of interests and are not one single thing.

Yes, common that folks in more privileged positions can have these skewed views on products, like, “Uber is a pretty good service and a good value…” but you only pay on your corporate expense account… When normal people need a ride now, it’s $80 for a 14 minute ride that used to cost 25-30 bucks. Someone’s we can just live fully different realities from most people.

You often forget to close camera shutters (they are often tone on tone and designed to be more invisible, or they can fall open/off. The microphones are also often located near/in camera modules, so a slide shutter can give a false sense of security, but you can still be heard even if not seen sometimes. I do hope it gets to a point where HW disconnect is the norm
