This is a good example of a comment that sounds like a great solution, but also comes from a privileged position. I have a job where I can just stay home and work if the weather is bad. It is also a good job that provides me with enough money to buy things like snow tires. None of those things are true for the dude…

I wonder if he has banned Smithfield Foods from being used in VA Gov’t yet? It is owned by the Chinese and the company gave $30K to his inagural committee.

They know that their constituents will blame the Dems anyway.

So... should Americans be banned from buying property outside the US? Be vacation homes or permanent homes?

Fucking redneck governors. Doing their reliable best to always do the shittiest things.

Fascists don’t want free speech; they never have. They want their speech, and nothing else. The “free speech” cries are just a smoke screen, proven by their constant conniptions and mass reporting of anything which upsets their super snowflake sensibilities.

This user clearly phrased it poorly, but the security concerns of TikTok are valid. Any app that could dump your full clipboard content, even while backgrounded, should be considered malware. Even if this was in the past, the fact the behavior was there is a problem. Ignore the FBI fluff all you want.

TikTok is owned by a Chinese company (which is controlled by the Chinese government), collects biometric data on users, and Chinese admins have full access to all of that data.  These are documented facts.  It’s not racist against Asians to say that TikTok is spying on you.

FarRight MAGA chuds: Freedom of speech man, it’s like really important. You can’t tell youdont like me saying something because that is censoring my freedom of speech.

The real lesson is being missed:  TikTok is shit, stop intentionally subjecting yourself to Chinese spyware.

Glad someone in this comment section has their head screwed on right.

This is always going to be a super problematic argument because what critics of AI art don’t want to admit is that human artists train themselves on vast amounts of copyrighted work with “no consent, no credit, and no compensation”. There are thousands of artists who have learned to ape other artists styles, and based…

If it's creating unique stuff not out there then they are just jealous an AI could replace their jobs

If you let people make a habit of not doing “simple” things like signaling, stopping at stop signs, etc. then they do it over and over until it causes an accident. And it probably won’t be the offending driver who gets hurt either, but instead the pedestrian or cyclist they hit. This unfortunate behaviour needs to…

Seems like it should be great for locations that have vehicle inspections. Here in MN I see dozens of cars with missing head and taillights driving around during rush hours (which is after the sun goes down here). If there’s no incentive for people to fix those broken item (ie: get pulled over) then something else…

This just screams Krieger from Archer...

This is like the 8,716th time Youtube changed a policy that messed with creators in a negative way, and the 8,716th time creators kind of...made a little fuss about it but then well eventually go back to normal.

heat pumps break thinking on conservation of energy a little, at least it did for me until I looked into it. It’s important to think of them as moving heat, not making it. They are measured in COP or coefficient of performance. The short explanation of COP is KW in as power to KW out as heat. A COP of 1 means you are…

If it’s hot out, AC can still find cold to pump. “Freezing” is relative. Just like 115 F is “Cold” to a 200 F coolant loop. Even if it’s very cold (for humans) outside, there is still lots of heat, relatively speaking. Heat pumps lose efficiency as temperature drops but it doesn’t go away completely. My home heat pump…

People will just drive without a license.
