In case the post title makes anyone think that it is the title of the painting, Beksinski didn’t title any of his drawings or paintings.

I think in the context of legislation, interpreting “let pass” to mean “allow to be signed into law” is understandable. But I see you just meant it chronologically.
“let pass”… . is there some major confusion about how presidential vetoes work here, or what do you even mean?
Okay Lemmy, I wanna know if this is just a me thing or if anyone else has this experience.
Like the meme I don’t generally remember my dreams for long after being awake. But! As I’m drifting off to sleep I start remembering things that feel like my previous dreams. Sometimes they seem to be dreams I had years ago.
Anyone else? Do you suppose I’m actually remembering recent or old dreams, or is this some kind of deja vu thing? Is there some separate memory space where all my dream memories are kept?
Lmao what is this edge-lord shit?
“Big” is not a negative adjective. “Truck” is not (mostly) an identity or demographic group. You’d have to make up some term like maybe “murder trucks” to get close to an analogy. Would you not suppose that someone who advocated against “murder trucks” thought trucks were bad?
“Crowded” - maybe mildly negative. “Places” - not an identity or demographic.
“Toxic” - Ok. “People” - This hardly seems like an identity or demographic. Maybe if martians start talking about “toxic humans” we’d have an analogy.
And that whole last paragraph is just a straw man.
Let’s consider some real analogies.
“Poisonous Hinduism” “Virulent Femininity” “Malignant Jewishness” “Destructive Liberalism” “Pestilent Blackness” “Dangerous Queerness”
I literally just looked up synonyms for toxic and picked random identity groups. Could you imagine trying to make any of these phrases academic terms?
I was flying home with a snow globe souvenir one day. TSA had to huddle with their team and a calculator to figure out the volume of a sphere on the spot. I don’t know if the volume ended up being under the limit or they just gave up.
It sorta looks to me like if you stacked those graphs they’d still be going down.
Yeah I’ve done the whole ripped streams thing. It’s just the ads and spam and attempts to install crypto miners on my machine make the experience unenjoyable.
Doomerism is a vibe. You’re gonna have a hard time talking people down around these parts.
It’s a constitutional amendment that was ruled on. The Constitution applies the same in all states. If it were just Colorado law I think it would be much harder to appeal the ruling to the US Supreme Court.
People don’t hate on Epic because their store has content. They hate on Epic because they tried to buy market share with exclusivity deals. Nobody wants PC gaming to turn into the streaming services.
I think they meant like 1970, not 1870.
A truly poor analogy. LLMs don’t remove anything from anywhere. They consume no shared resource.
It’s been wild watching people flail about searching for arguments for why LLMs should be stopped. I’m not even saying they shouldn’t, just that I haven’t seen a solid argument for it.
Teddy bears smashing imperial armor with log traps was when Star wars jumped the shark IMHO.
I was curious how often this actually happened and found this other article with some figures.

“More than 5,400 minors were married in Michigan between 2000 and 2021, according to the nonprofit Unchained at Last. More than nine in 10 of the minors were girls, with 12 under the age of 16.”
So I guess it was mostly 16 and 17 year olds who now have to wait to 18.
Pakistan has a one of the more remarkably bad histories with blasphemy laws, if you’re looking for examples. I think they’re not uncommon in Muslim majority countries. Western nations had similar laws as well, but I think you have to go back a couple centuries to find them.
I’m sure that’s not what was in his letter.
If your question is merely about public relations, sure it’s a terrible move. But I think there’s actually a more meaningful question underlying all this furor; what are the limits of friendship or love? What is one supposed to do when someone close does something horrible? Cast them aside? Pretend you never knew them?
Kutcher must have had some idea of the risk he was taking, but he did it anyway. I find that striking. For some people friendships can be like family. I feel like this is an older sentiment that doesn’t find expression often today. Would you find it appalling if Masterson’s mother spoke on behalf of his character, or should she likewise keep her distance?
I don’t know. It all just seems more complicated and tragic than the typical social media mob can process.
It’s hilarious how many different definitions of fascism I see on Lemmy on a given day
Sure I guess if there’s a fire, or at least believe there’s a fire. Hard to figure out who’s deliberately lying to start shit, and who’s just gullible and vocal on social media.
