For me the reason I like to use streaming services is as a way to find new music that I otherwise would never be exposed to.

If they chose not to participate, wouldn’t that mean they would not be covered by Medicare at all?

They may live mostly in trees but it’s not uncommon for them to fly down into human reach.

Ya maybe new instance of defamation.

That was funny but ultimately probably irrelevant to the case except as it relates to giving a view into Lindell’s insanity.

Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he’s only barely containing.

We don’t sentence & punish people based on their politics. That way leads only to crazy fascism.

No one deserves to be raped and murdered in prison. The justice system is far from perfect but we don’t sentence people to be raped and then murdered. We do rarely sentence people to death, but not by vigilante shanking or beating.

I think most people understand it, but even referring to it as a type of “porn” normalizes it to some extent.

The politically correct term CSAM is to differentiate it from ordinary porn which is legal and at least somewhat socially acceptable and ensure that people understand that when children are involved, it is always abusive. The terms mean the same thing, but being precise with language is important.

Porn is a legal thing that normal people enjoy. The term CSAM takes a stance that it is always abuse. I think they are basically interchangeable but CSAM is the currently preferred term.

What would you say is the difference? I feel like the terms are interchangeable. The comment you replied to didn’t give the exact abbreviation but it gave the essence of what is meant by the picture.

I thought Microsoft was the one requiring feature parity. It sounds like the real story is MS caving.

Vote with your wallet anyway. McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but few would say they are the best.

Glass windows kill birds too when they try to fly through them. How exactly did she think solar power could kill birds or be bad?

It’s not easy for people to escape a submerged vehicle in still body of water, especially if the vehicle flips. Add in a raging river tumbling everything around, pushing everywhere… Even if you were able to escape the vehicle I don’t think your chances of making it to shore from the middle would be good.

It seems likely. That vehicle was just swallowed by a flooding river. It’s technically possible the occupants escaped, but unlikely.

This seems largely symbolic. I don’t see Apple or Wikipedia paying, and paying might even be illegal at this point.

The best pointer

Hate speech with different targets is still hate speech. You’re only going to further convince them that they are right to be hateful.
