I hope Matt Berry wins. 

AI has no more inherent right to free expression than your toaster. It also has no self to express and no ability to express at all. It can only regurgitate.

Yeah, this article weirdly implies the blame is on Biden for this decision. That’s misleading at best. What happened is some mid level lawyer in the justice department declined to take the case, pendant because of some obvious legal loophole that would have made it a waste of time and resources that could go to cases…

Next time you have to leave Oklahoma for civilization services, don’t go back.

How is that the “Biden administration”’s doing!? Because Biden’s the president? Are we supposed to ignore how and why these situations happen?

By doing an illegal operation in an immigrant neighborhood where they won’t report her for fear of INS involvement. 

There probably isn’t an HOA out there that has a rule against detonating a nuclear device either.

The risks don’t just apply to her. This could collapse and cause damage to anyone on the property, her neighbors’ property and the endanger the rescue workers. 

Noise, runoff, potential sinkholes, potential damage to water/sewage/electrical/gas/telephone/tv/Internet lines. Need I continue? This woman is a menace and why HOAs, despite being a pain in the ass sometimes, need to exist. And she's continuing this knowing her neighbors are immigrants of questionable legal status,…

Not to mention gas lines, water lines, sewage lines, septic tanks, fiber optics. A person without the correct engineering degree shouldn’t be digging anywhere near that stuff.

It’s not like she lives out in the country with no close neighbors, where the “she’s only endangering herself” argument might actually make sense. She’s on a quarter-acre in a densely developed part of the country. The fact she hasn’t damaged somebody else’s property or at least hit a utility line and knocked out…

Exploiting the possibility that neighbors might be hesitant to call the police (or inspectors, etc.) to get away with endangering their safety and property. Or were you unaware that the word “exploitation” has uses beyond an arbitrarily strict extractive sense?

Wow, there it is, the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day.

she knows the risks and as long as they only apply to her, then who cares?

The risks absolutely do not only apply to her

Aside from the fact that she could have been buried alive (and may still), or blown up hers or her neighbors houses, like... why? What is the motivating factor here to dig a big ass pit on your property? People are so f’ing weird and crazy. Also, “Still, she maintained a healthy level of support on TikTok,” might…

This is insanely irresponsible. Our friends had crazy neighbors who decided to dig in the backyard without getting any county approval or engineers’ opinion or anything, and they broke into a gas line and set our friends’ house on fire via the kitchen...destroyed all their possessions and the whole house had to be…

Offloading admin costs is why municipalities allow them. But the selling point to residents is uniformity, protecting property values, “safety” (real or perceived), etc... not the privatization of civil society... though some of my neighbors probably dig that shit too.  

sometimes a story comes along that explains why HOAs exist and make me the teeniest bit thankful I live in one. And it’s because people can’t just be trusted to be fucking reasonable.

This is insane, perhaps for obvious reasons, some of them listed in this article. Sink-holes, disposal, run-off/pollution (including asbestos), noise. I would not feel safe with this person as a neighbor, and I can definitely see how being an undocumented migrant would make me weary about speaking up.
