Iran Lures Transgender Foreigners for Surgery but Forces Operations on Locals - The New York Times https://share.google/EthlZRgk3jyX2OH6V
For 40 years Iran has performed more gender transition surgeries than many other nations, largely a result of pressuring gay and gender-nonconforming citizens to undergo unwanted operations or risk the death penalty.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I think you misunderstood who is at fault here.
The senators aren’t asking the government to spy on Americans. They’re only asking the DNI to make it clear to the public that the US government already might be spying on them.
They’re made of meat?
Fun addendum: My Blue Heaven was written by Nora Ephron, who was married at the time to Nicholas Pileggi, the screenwriter for Goodfellas.
You are aware this article is from the onion, right?
fuck this site. immediate redirect to “virus warning” bullshit.
maybe? where is that sticker? I mean sure it has the same letters but that sticker isn’t there, and the order of the letter still doesn’t make sense.
Lol pretty sure I know exactly what series you’re talking about (beer can?). You’re right - it’s dumb, and the writing isn’t exactly Dickens, but it’s funny. Almost finished with the series myself. Something to read until something better comes along, at least.
I agree, but um…you really should look up the definition of the word “falsies”
You’ve completely missed the point. Nobody is saying that AI is fine and trustworthy.
How do you propose to punish software? How are you going to compel compensation, retribution, or justice from a computer program? It’s not possible. Nor should one even try - because it wasn’t AI that arrested her, it wasn’t AI that left her in jail for months, it wasn’t AI that fucked her over. It was cops that trusted shitty AI.
AI sucks - nobody in this thread is arguing against that. There’s lots of shitty software, though. The problem with AI is that is that those in power are trusting people’s lives with it and people are getting fucked because of it. If you’re focusing on the software, you’re excusing the cops.
Whew! Just turned 50, glad I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
“But he’s got … ham.”
Whataboutisms are not a valid defense against the original accusation or claim. Of course one can append a counter-accusation of hypocrisy, but that says nothing about whether the primary subject was justified or not.
Accusations of hypocrisy should be a separate subject. Initiating that claim is not a whataboutism.

On Tuesday – after the district’s four-day weekend – school officials spoke with Spud and gave him a one-day in-school suspension (ISS) for video recording in the school.
Did nobody here read the article?
partially prefilled absentee ballot applications
Not ballots, or fake ballots, or even sample ballots. Applications for absentee ballots. They only got a letter of reprimand because seriously, who gives a shit that that they were sending out applications (again: not ballots!)
Because there isn’t one. The PAC wasn’t sending out ballots, real or fake - it was sending absentee ballot applications that were partially refilled with the applicants’ information. Presumably their name and address at least, since how else could they mail it.
No wonder they only got a letter of reprimand. This is truly making a mountain out of a molehill.
Fuck them and fuck Musk, but the outrage for this is ridiculous.
Evil is itself a subjective term. It is not possible for anything to be objectively evil, even if every person who has ever lived agrees - which they definitely don’t. To be “objective” it must be measurable, supported by facts; “good” and “evil” are not.
