I put tor on a flash drive. It bypassed the schools website blocks, so I could go onto any website I wanted. I mainly just went to YouTube to listen to music while I worked. If I really felt like goofing off, I'd go to friv.com and play a bunch of flash games.
Of course a couple friends had me to go to a porn website, but we quickly realized it was awkward and not as fun to be horny when you couldn't do anything about it.
At least it ruins their ability to advertise with r/place like they wanted to. At this point, making as much of reddit as useless as possible is the last way to make them listen
I'd say just to pay attention to the information anyone is giving you. Keep what's relevant and make good use of it. Learn from what isn't relevant anymore and have a discussion about why it's not relevant.
Our elders have so much experience. Even if some of it isn't directly helpful to you, there's still so much of the human experience that hasn't ever and will never change. Things like relationships, survival, hope, struggle, addiction, passion, and so much more.
I kinda thought that was how most small towns worked. We got a couple big factories that take up a big chunk of the workforce here. They have a huge amount of power in controlling the wages for the town, which is always worrying. They pay the highest, but it's still not very high
I've had them before. If you want to hide them, wear a jacket or sweater. It's not a big deal anymore though. The only people that ever said anything was friends and family teasing a bit. I'd still have them if my body didn't reject them so often, but that's just something to do with me
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think that's what the meme was meaning. I think it meant when you leave empty handed, it looks like you're shoplifting. That makes you nervous and you start acting weird which makes you look even more suspicious and more nervous. Wash, rinse, and repeat till you get home and cry because social situations are awkward and hard and life would be so much easier if I was alone on a deserted island like Tom Hanks in that one movie.
... I might've lost track towards the end, but you get the idea.
Not op, but I'd say it's easy to guess why people care about numbers so much. Main reason is because it feels like making a statement and that feels good. It's a tiny amount of effort for a bigger dopamine reward.
It's just as easy to guess why people don't care about them either. They don't affect anything and can feel meaningless as a result. It just depends on the person
The first one I get, but the rest have issues.
The giving water to voters thing is for political candidates. Gift giving is by far the most effective way to manipulate people into doing what you want. That's why Jehovah's witnesses give you a free book when they're on mission.
Peaceful public assembly is litterally protected by the constitution. That doesn't stop police from declaring peaceful assembly a riot and shutting it down, but that's a different matter.
Arguing with cops never gets you anywhere good. Likewise insulting them to their face.
Nazis are objectively wrong and bad, but their right to peacefully assemble in public is just as protected as yours. Attacking them unprovoked is assault even if you have the moral high ground.
I agree with the spirit of everything you said. It's just that vigilante justice just flat out doesn't work. You become an example of your party's supposedly blatant corruption and now they have someone to rally against. In most cases laws need to be changed, not broken.
This video can answer just about any question you ask. It's long, but it's split up into chapters so you can see what questions he's answering in that chapter. I do recommend you watch the whole thing if you can. There's a lot of information that I found very insightful and thought provoking
I don't really have the time to look for timestamps, but he does present his arguments from many different angles. I highly recommend watching the whole thing if you can.
Aside from that, the main thing I want to address is the responsibility of these big corporations to curate the massive library of content they gather. It's entirely in their power to blacklist certain things like PII or sensitive information or hate speech, but they decided not to because it was cheaper. They took a gamble that people either wouldn't care, didn't have the resources to fight it, or would actively support their theft if it meant getting a new toy to play with.
Now that there's a chance they could lose a massive amount of money, this could deter other ai companies from flagrantly breaking the law and set a better standard that protects people's personal data. Tbh I don't really think this specific case has much ground to stand on, but it's the first step in securing more safety for people online. Imagine if the database for this ai was leaked. Imagine all of the personal data, yours and mine included, that would be available to malicious people. Imagine the damage that could cause.
Good. Technology always makes strides before the law can catch up. The issue with this is that multi million dollar companies use these gaps in the law to get away with legally gray and morally black actions all in the name of profits.
Edit: This video is the best way to educate yourself on why ai art and writing is bad when it steals from people like most ai programs currently do. I know it's long, but it's broken up into chapters if you can't watch the whole thing.
