Robbing Delivery Robots Is Now a Thing

What a pathetic bunch of people trying to maintain the slave status quo in these comments. WHY are you fighting to maintain a world where people have to work low tier bull shit jobs to survive? The answer, you morons, is to let the robots be and improve society to the point technology said it would. We re the most productive we've ever been in our entire history yet work more than any other time in history. We need work reform, not a robot genocide.

People Are Losing It Over Footage Showing Rudy Giuliani Walking Into A Bail Bond Joint After Being Arraigned

Reply in thread

Basically, if you are deemed not a risk to the community/flight risk(all arguable in this case but they did set them bail amounts), the courts give you a sum based on your accused offense you can pay to get out of jail till the trial date. If you show up to trial you get the bail amounts back, if you don't you get a warrant and the courts keep your money. Where bail "bonds" come into play, is they are companies acting as pseudo banks who will lend you money to make bail with interest obviously. It's very predatory because the only people who generally have to use these are poor people and the states don't care about poor criminals enough to make it not so predatory.

It's only eye revealing if you literally aren't paying attention. Vader straight up chokes and breaks the neck of an officer, killing him, that he's interrogating on the rebel blockade runner in the first 10 minutes. Stormtroopers destroy and burn uncle owens farm and leaves his and his wife's corpses out in the open after burning them down to the skeletons. Han shooting first, Alderran is genocided by the death star, princess Leia is tortured, albeit it off screen, we get the scene of the interrogation droid with all his "toys" floating towards her before the door closes. All the pilots die including lukes best friend biggs fighting the death star except wedge luke and a few y wings, It's never been a "kids" story till arguably the prequels when Lucas secured rights to toys and went on to push story elements that could be made into toys to sell.

God damn us internet vets have seen the rise and fall of many a digital empire. Refugees moving from 1 shell to the next,

IRC/AIM->Skype/vent/mumble->discord/signal/telegram,

netscape->IE->Firefox/Chrome/Chromium,

message boards/use groups->digg/reddit->Lemmy,

Search engines like ask jeeves->Google/yahoo->google.

Napster->kazaa/limewire->torrents/magnet links->Sonarr/Streaming Sites

I could go on but yeah it was insane.

Lemmy.world Admin Response to Meta/Threads

I keep seeing this argument about "but threads content!"

Who gives a shit about threads content? I didn't join Lemmy to read god damn threads content, if I want the god damn threads content ILL MAKE A FUCKING THREADS ACCOUNT. If I want to interact with those fuckheads...ILL MAKE A FUCKING THREADS ACCOUNT

This is seriously the dumbest thing brought up in favor of letting Meta in. Do you still see Facebook reposts on Reddit without a Facebook account and connecting reddit to Facebook? Yes? Then what do we care if we won't have a direct feed, because if it's worth a shit it'll be reposted everywhere.

Defederate and let those idiots who want threads TO MAKE A THREADS ACCOUNT. It's "free and so simple!"

YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead

Anecdotally I play a genocidal maniac in every game I can. I love playing total war and killing every single thing I come across, razing pillaging their villages and enslaving the survivors. I've done it since I was a young child playing RTS games like age of empires. Adding up all my video game kills would probably be literally in the billions. Can you guess how many people I've killed in real life?

I mean one is discussed in the article linked....

But there are 2 different accusation cases:

1st: accused of domestic abuse, false imprisonment, menacing, and something else by ex girlfriend. The charges were dropped but not because he was declared innocent but because "We dismissed the charges today as a result of having insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt." Which is legalese for them saying "there isn't enough evidence to say he did or didn't do it besides hearsay so we have to dismiss the charges. So again he wasn't "found innocent", they just never went to trial.

2nd: he's been accused of grooming multiple under age Rick and Morty fans. A plethora of fans have come forward with incriminating pictures of messages from their convos on various messenger services. This one hasn't had much traction since like January but it happened at the same as his domestic abuse case was going public.

OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series

Yes, but it's what it is doing with it that is the murky grey area. Anyone can read a book, but you can't use those books for your own commercial stuff. Rowling and other writers are making the case their works are being used in an inappropriate way commercially. Whether they have a case iunno ianal but I could see the argument at least.

I never understood this argument. If God is all powerful how come he leaves his messages to interpretation. Shouldn't we all just be born knowing the exact wording and understanding? Also why does he need people to write his books and teach his lessons when again he supposedly is all powerful and could make it so we were born with this knowledge instead of leaving it to idiots who can't "comprehend God's great plan".
