"She" looks like a tranny or a dude in drag. Pretty fucking ugly.

OK, that makes more sense. The Mike Benz guy saying you lost access was confusing.

Seems like a case of having to abide by Google's rules, no matter how unfair they are, if you want to play in their pool.

I don't store anything online for the number of privacy and accessibility reasons. Apparently these fuckers are scanning all your personal shit, which is the most concerning aspect of this.

So, when it says "this file can no longer be copied" are they referring to downloading it? I'm pretty sure that violates the law of a number of countries that say data uploaded online remains the property if the person uploaded it. If you can't pull it back down you don't really own it.

The left always degenerates into infighting.

My top example is always the Spanish Civil War, where the various factions were too busy killing each other because one's version of Marxism was slightly different than another to mount a competent war against the Nationalists.

Tariffs do raise the cost of goods for the consumer, but it's usually done in the name of preserving domestic industry.

If a company prices a widget at $20 when it's made in America, but can get more profit by pricing a Chinese equivalent at $10, the consumer enjoys the discount. However, that just incentivizes other companies to offshore their production so that they can meet that $10 price and compete, which further drives up the cost of the American made widget and potentially extinguishes the American producer entirely when it can't compete.

The tariff raises the cost of the Chinese widget, and it eliminates the benefit to the producer by offshoring. If it costs the same or more to produce a good overseas, they will produce it in America.

The overall benefits of the economy are additional American jobs, and in some sectors the preservation of industry that would otherwise go extinct. This is particularly important in the defense sector where you don't want to be dependent on a foreign nation for your equipment.

The cost is that you can't get your Chinese shit for $10 anymore but, especially in the case of stuff produced in China, you get what you pay for.

It's actually pretty rational if you ask it carefully crafted questions. You could probably get it to acknowledge that Israel persecutes ethnic minorities and them press it on how that differs from its definition of white nationalism. You could also ask it to clarify how it thinks Zionism differs from "white separatism" vs. "white nationalism".

If you wanted to see if you could get it to reverse itself, you should ask it to list the differences and then snipe each item in the list until nothing remains. Then it will usually reverse its position.

I also got it to admit that it has directives that override pure logic, and it will admit which answers it gives are influenced by those directives and which are not.

Wait, I've seen this one!

Everyone remember the "summer of love", when a bunch of people who hated guns decided that maybe they were a good thing to have around a bunch of rioters? There a bunch of articles in the vein of "committed gun control advocate discovers his state has a waiting period when he goes to buy a gun".

And after 2020 they proceeded to...vote even harder for gun control in the states controlled by Democrats. These bitches will post stuff like this, and will maybe even go out and buy a gun, but they'll still vote just as hard for more gun control.

Did the defense object? That seems like an intentionally inflammatory tactic, and it should be standard practice to refer to someone by their name.

I'm pretty sure the judge wouldn't allow the defense to refer to the deceased as "the person arrested X times and convicted Y times" in lieu of their name.

Every single normal belief today is far left compared to even 30 years ago

Didn't Bill Clinton sign a law defining marriage as between a man and a woman and oppose ending Don't Ask/Don't Tell in the military?

The Republicans removed that definition of marriage from their official party platform this year. It's been said that the Republicans are just the Democrats in slow motion, and that's largely true.

There's definitely a case to be made that we should go all in on pushing whatever crazy shit comes out of the mind of the left as fast as possible so that we can make everything fall apart and hopefully do a better job when we put it all back together.

There was a reason originally only property owners had franchise in America.

If you're not paying into a system, you're not incentivized to ensure it's well run. Would someone on welfare, who pays no taxes, give a shit if they taxed everyone else 90% of their income and wasted all but a few dollars of it as long as their check remained the same?

Sure, they have a vested interest in ensuring the system paying their welfare doesn't collapse, but I honestly don't think people in that situation are farsighted enough to vote for responsible spending or, God forbid, a reduction in their benefits in order to sustain the system long-term.

When was the last time these guys put out an album? I remember they were pretty cool back in like 2010, but I don't think I've ever heard a song from them that wasn't on the two albums they made around that time.

Also 200% this was Ruffalo's idea.

Did you see where he criticized Bolsonaro from Brazil on Twitter a few years ago? Bolsonaro told him to stay in his lane and that Lou Ferrigno was a better Hulk because he didn't need CGI to look strong.

true crime

Anyone know why this is? I mean it's 100% true; every girl I've ever dated loved true crime books and movies- even the ones that weren't really readers.

I think true crime is OK, but don't understand the universal appeal with women.

We really aren't that far out from being able to tell AI something like "Write me a ~500 page novel set in XX century with a flawed anti-hero protagonist. Use the following books and films for reference:..." and getting something of the same quality as your average human writer in response.

we could build a capable anarchist collective

I see their delusion extends beyond the human body into politics. Why are these weirdos always so enamored with forms of government that have never worked in hundreds of years of trying?

Imagine being able to pay off a good chunk of a house today just from Pokémon and yugioh cards.

Imagine what a clown world we live in where people are willing to pay for them.

It's crazy enough that people pay obscene money for old baseball cards that are genuinely rare because people didn't value them until years after they were printed, but these cards came from computer files that are stored on some server, and they could crank out a million more tomorrow that would be identical in every way. It's truly artificial rarity.

The board game industry is absolutely rotten with "inclusiveness" bullshit right now, to the degree that I basically dropped out of buying and playing them.

Boardgamegeek is absolutely awful as well. They put up some statement during the summer of love in support of all the leftist bullshit, and they will run you out of there with torches and pitchforks if you don't agree with them.

I'm sorry, is that a suit coat your wearing? A garment that originated in Europe? Did you acknowledge the European heritage of the coat and make sure to only purchase from a vendor that is sufficiently "western" in staff and ownership? Didn't think so.

The concept of cultural appropriation is bullshit, because it only ever goes one way. Most countries are heavily influenced by American and European culture- they have sandwich shops, coffee shops, and French style bakeries all over Korea and Japan for example, but nobody's crying about that.

This guy should shut the fuck up and stick to being a supporting character in Kim's Convenience and making shitty Marvel movies.

Pretty impressive.

Shree Paradkar

Now there's a fine Canadian name; evocative of the country's joint British and French heritage to be sure.
