In catholic literature (and I think protestant) demons can understand and be repelled/summoned by phrases in Latin. A common symbol for Satan and demons are black goats and goats in general. So the joke is that he is messing up latin and inadvertantly summoning demons into his house.

I know Netflix had that whole Marie Kondo one that happened before AI became a real thing. Could just be programmers. lmao

At the moment, I've been reading through the Highschol DxD series. I enjoyed the first season of the anime and I wanted to see how much the books were different from the series itself. I'm presently on the fifth book (as I splurged last year and bought all the way up to 15).

I've honestly been enjoying it. It kept the raunchy (which I wasn't surprsied) but I could feel the heart and the care the writer was putting into it.

Alright. I'm gonna take a stab at this based on my own understanding and readings, and the assumption that you asked in good faith. We're going to break this up into a few things to answer your question.

The short answer is that murder/violence and cancel culture are not in the same box. It is a comparison of apples, oranges, and bananas.

The Merriam-Webster definition of cancel culture is: "The practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval and exerting social pressure."

Murder

The reason there isn't cancel culture (from my perspective) around this is that it is a direct violation of the social contract. You took a life, and it is up to the criminal courts to hold you accountable for the action. In essence, you're arrested for this and tried; you're already canceled, but by the state that's trying you.

Violence

Cancel culture does exist around this, but it depends on what is known. I believe that you only see it when there is a perception that the justice system has failed and the conscience of the masses thinks it needs to exact some sort of justice. That's where you see people being ostracized for domestic violence, accusations of sexual assault, etc. The criminal justice system hasn't acted on it for whatever reason, so others feel that it is their responsibility to do so.

The Moral Contract

Cancel culture is a social weapon that is used against people who are believed to have violated the moral social contract, and they are ostracized for those reasons. For example, Colin Kaepernick was canceled because he was kneeling for the Super Bowl (even though he didn't break any law, as the action is protected by the First Amendment), but because of the social moral conscience in 2016, his action was seen as an affront and thus had to be punished.

Hopefully this helped answer your question.

And Republicans keep trying to convince us the Israeli government is the good guys. >.>

Honestly it's my take. I have proton. I know i'm paying with a credit card so if they were served a warrant for my information, they'd get it. BUT they wouldn't get anything from my email because 1) It's encrypted and 2) it's encrypted with my own key and not the one generated by Proton when you create an account. I casually wonder if someone didn't fully understand the nuance of things like this in the modern surveilance state.

I'm shocked....but I'm also not shocked. This has gotten to the point that you think they can't one up themselves and then they go and do it.

Spouse and I work every year to add native plants and flowers back around our host to give the bees a place to go. Anything to save these amazing, little polinaters.

I wouldn't count on it.

I'm prior military and at one time I would have said they would refuse but today I'm not so sure. :/

Watch him claim later on that he doesn't know why they're in Iran because he never gave the orders to do that. It must have been Hegseth.

I think I know how a lot of people are thinking right about now. lol

Google is secretly panicking cause they lost an entire nation bloc. That's gotta hurt the pocket book somewhere.

It is.

Google is using chrome to put a 3gb AI file on people's computer silently. This reports what they're doing and how to disable it if one is using chrome.

That's what my community is doing. We're going to move to Matrix just to be rid of Discord and then seeing what we want to do next.

I showed this to my 12 year old child and he gave me the most dramatic eyeroll and said: "Yeeeeahh. Gen alpha has some dumb stuff." lol

Feels a lot more wholesome than you would expect from a Cyanide & Happiness comic. lol

I just logged in this afternoon and saw all this going on with Tesseract. Does anyone have a link to an article or summary of what is going on? I heard of this program until lemmy got a bunch of posts about it. lol

At least they owned up to it instead of pretending it didn't happen like other "news" organizations in the past.
