Florida teen allegedly shoots, kills sister after argument over Christmas gifts

Reply in thread

Materialism is really big with a lot of people. My in-laws kids are spoiled rotten and only accept big brand name stuff because that's all their parents give them for Christmas and Birthdays. Same people who can't afford to pay their mortgage and are likely to lose the house in a few months.

I like present-less holidays. Better to focus on just being with people I find. Also helps if there's a lot of good, homemade food.

There's a lot there I don't watch. I know there's Fleabag but haven't watched it.

Currently I'm mostly watching Korean stuff on Netflix as most English releases are pretty meh compared to Invincible and Reacher on Prime.

Teen deepfake victim pushes for federal law targeting AI-generated explicit content

Reply in thread

Surely deepfakes will be just different enough to the subject to create reasonable doubt that it depicts the subject.

That's a major assumption. Do people really think a school board will really consider that when a student creates a fake Only Fans of a teacher? A random University or Company doesn't even give reason for denying an application when they see any form of online nudity? People are lazy as fuck and will just move on to the next candidate or let someone go to save their own image rather than that off the victim.

YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him

Nah. You can be anti-violence, pro-violence, or understand that violence is acceptable only as a means to achieving a desired result, oftentimes as a last resort.

Both the first and third options are not proponents of violence, but the third understands it is a necessity to achieve their goals at times. This is literally heavily discussed now as fascists try to paint anti-fascists as the violent ones when anti-fascists merely understand violence as the means to a goal in this case and not their normal path to a goal.
