Idk, sometimes it seems like people jump to banning things because a small group of people will misuse it, instead of trying to prevent that misuse, particularly prevelant these days.

I think what you’re arguing is really what is peoples’ reasonable expectation to not be recorded in public. In the general sense, people do not have that legal right. I’m allowed to just go outside and record a video on my phone and whoever happens to be in it happens to be in it. Whether its legally codified or not I de facto have the right to do that, and you don’t have the right to tell me to stop (up to the point where I follow someone and it gets to legal harassment).

So on this point you’re 100% right in terms of how things are.

Do you think glasses on peoples faces aren’t out in the open? While yes creeps are going to creep, I don’t know banning the idea of the technology entirely is the right way to go about preventing that, especially considering there’d a large amount of potential positive benefits on the contrary.

I don’t see the inherent societal value in clandestine recording ability being everywhere. I can see that it would have some value sometimes, but this won’t be a few creeps. Adoption of this tech will be led by creeps. That will be the primary use case.

But I suppose this discussion doesn’t matter since eventually this tech will be so easily accessed that it will become the reality no matter what anybody thinks.

They aren’t his ideas lmao, he’s not exactly Marx or something. He parrots basic socialist rhetoric. I can engage with that just fine without ever having to waste my time on Hasan.

Just to be clear, your sole problem with Hasan is his net worth? lol.

His concern for the poor.

Unproven. “You can’t have genuine concern for the poor without being poor” is definitely one of the opinions of all time. You haven’t even tried to justify it.

They aren’t his ideas lmao, he’s not exactly Marx or something. He parrots basic socialist rhetoric. I can engage with that just fine without ever having to waste my time on Hasan.

Cool, not relevant.

Body cams are out in the open and their videos are (at least in theory, depending on jurisdiction) open to public review. These will be used for clandestine recording and will spend most of their time staring at women’s cleavage. Hope that helps.

Besides that, there’s no healthy reason for you to be this invested in defending a streamer. Politics should not be a cult of personality if you actually want to achieve anything.

Says someone writing pages about it along with many lies.

He is dishonest by pretending to align with socialist ideals while hoarding money, to the extent of buying oversized property in what is probably the 3rd or 4th most infamously-expensive place in the country.

Dishonesty requires being dishonest about something. What is he being dishonest about?

He could’ve donated that money to help the people he claims he wants to see helped.

Cool so suppose he did that and was sufficiently poor for your liking would you have something to actually say about his views?

You seem way more invested in hating than engaging with his ideas.

Paul Giamatti was channeling Raul Julia in street fighter.

If he was going to vote for it someone else would have voted no. AIPAC has a deep bench and they know better than to reveal it all at once.

‘God of All Machines, today you have judged your servants worthy of your Great Work,’ said Kotov, letting his voice carry over the entire command deck. ‘And for this we give thanks. Glory to the Omnissiah!’

Colorado be like “what if we were a rectangle without any parallel lines in it?”

I couldn’t watch discovery after it turned out that the burn was caused by one guy getting super sad in a crystal cave. Im sorry but what the actual fuck? A whole season of build up for that .

Cool now look up the definition of a “grift” and explain how it applies.

Minivan full of usb keys. Probably still the fastest data transfer method too.

And a grifter, which I already said.

Cool unsubstantiated opinion.

It’s basically geopolitical trolling but it is top tier.

Yeah this is ridiculous criticism. If he was poor and arguing for socialism he would be called jealous. Now he’s rich and arguing for socialism and your criticism is…what exactly? That he takes care of his family? Seems like ad hominem attacks to avoid having to engage with what he’s saying.

Yeah none of that represents Hasan’s views but cool rant

This is the kind of culinary aggression I can get behind .

It’s worth understanding the causation here. Was Joe Biden a staunch Zionist because of AIPAC funding? Or did AIPAC fund Biden knowing he was a staunch Zionist in order to ensure he would win?

To me, especially post Oct-7th, Biden seemed like a true believer. He seemed to believe in the Zionist project in the form of unconditional support of the Israeli government (no matter who was in power there) as part of his personal sense of morality. As in, don’t steal , don’t lie, support isreal. It’s why he wasn’t able to even try to reign in Israel no matter how much Bibi humiliated him or openly colluded with Trump or whatever.

Having a geopolitical stance as a part of your basic personal morality (as opposed to a reasoned stance based on available information) is of course incredibly stupid and dangerous. But that’s my read on Biden.

Meanwhile a guy like Cory Booker seems to have just knowingly sold out to AIPAC and is now committed to that position. AIPAC is designed to create an easy path for American politicians in terms of a certain degree if good PR in the press and campaign funding. Many politicians simply took that deal. Biden never struck me as one of these, especially not at the end.

Too many of them are true believers. For example Joe Biden wasn’t a Zionist because of AIPAC. He did it for the love of the game.

This is off topic but when Brigerton first came out I watched it on Netflix without any context or knowledge of the books. I just assumed that it was a kind of racial escapism - a world where it just never occured to anyone to be racist. I kind of liked that as a genre of fiction. Turns out there are in-universe explanations for why people aren’t racist (basically the king married a black women which made it okay). To me, that explanation (putting aside whether it makes sense) took away from it.

There’s no shortage of fiction trying to be gritty and real and such. For the little while that I didn’t know better it was interesting to view Bridgerton as a world where nobody thought to engage in racial discrimination in the first place .

This is pretty cool. They didn’t adopt solar to this extent under good circumstances - the background is that years of warfare degraded their power grid to the point where anything but extremely local generation is hopelessly unreliable. Well, there’s nothing more local than a solar panel and the external input required for it to run (sunlight) can’t be blocked.
