Yes, radicalization begets radicalization, it’s a vicious spiral that is very hard to stop once it starts unless outside forces intervene but the broader global dynamics here don’t really make for that to be a viable case.

I’m in favor of a ceasefire and want Israel to stop, but the fact that “they’re radicalizing more people and making Hamas more popular” doesn’t make it a workable reason for Israel to stop attacking Hamas.

Nope, just seeing how beautiful the analogy for the 2020 Democratic primary could have been with perfect clarity. Now instead it’s Patrick Mahomes and his weird voice against the literal last pick in NFL draft, a guy who’s last name is actually “Purdy”.

I remember so, so many commenters here trying to pretend Fetterman was a great candidate and that it wasn’t possible at all that his stroke had impacted him in any way that matters. Fact is we got friggin’ lucky he was running against a basketcase in Dr. Oz even by 2022 GOP standards.

How you gonna play up the “Chiefs represent libtards” connection without mentioning SF’s Nick Bosa?

I don’t have sympathy for him either, the point of my post really goes to the way Jezebel is framing up Spears’ own statements about her moral responsibility towards Timberlake.

He’s not trolling as best I can tell.  He’s a guy who sincerely believes are that stuff he’s babbling on about and him sharing it isn’t harming a soul.  

Some people made the argument that Spears should be free by arguing some permutation of “Ackshually Britney would have her shit together if she didn’t have her dad and the 2003 paparazzi in her life”. Others thought (myself included) that emotionally unstable people who aren’t a danger to others deserve a high degree…

I mean look the way this project is proof of the impact of years of low interest rates in the tech space leading to misplaced spending and overhiring in the wrong areas.

I’m sure this is a great game, I really am. I enjoyed the first one.

Oh Mikey bless your heart, the average use case for porn isn’t a scene out of Little Children.

Legit line of inquiry here ...

I doubt it. Most net nannies use actively maintained lists and also screenshots of screen activity that are analyzed.

IIRC He installed a linux partition to work around it to duck the registry issue. Doing that isn’t the most sophisticated thing in the world but it requires a bit of knowledge (or help which I doubt Duggar had).

Meh, unless he or his son are very good at computers then he’s not monitoring much of anything spicy. In addition to sending browser history reports, Covenant Eyes is a full blown net nanny that is as actively maintained as any of them are. It’s a nasty little bugger. If you try to delete it without the proper admin…

At first I was like Vox not practicing it’s same brand of unrelenting sanctimonious doomerism? but then I saw the byline was Dylan Matthews.

Well yeah of course but it makes for a much better plot to a dystopian Sci-Fi game to pretend otherwise.

Yes, AI absolutely will be a factor in games development, as it becomes inextricably woven into the tools used to make games—no matter how negative that may be—because: capitalism.

This is not about a mistrial, as that’s really hard to “force” in terms of getting a judge angry enough to do something stupid. Judges are allowed to display plenty of emotion and anger towards anyone disrupting their courtroom.

Well, look, I’m not shocked either of us got dismissed. I gave a nice and gilded, but still clear version of “calm down you fucking weirdo” whereas you on the other hand are over here saying the quiet part loud in terms of being willing to employ extralegal means to stop Trump, something I would think that someone…
