Yeah. Times are getting tougher. Again. Companies are like feudal lords trying to pick sides in a battle for the throne. And we commoners are all down here wondering why we can't just be allowed to live our lives instead of becoming collateral damage.

defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.
They should only ever have to comply with "legal requirements"; and even then, only after rigorous judicial review. "Complying" with payment processors is the path to an outright corporatocracy.

Well, there goes Shakespeare.

"The Masters of Krikkit," said Slartibartfast again, and if his breathing had been sepulchral before, this time he sounded like someone in Hades with bronchitis.
Not that this is what we should be primarily focusing on, but the "debate" about moving from fossil fuels to alternative energies has been going on so long that, if we had begun properly transitioning at the start of it, then mines in the Strait of Hormuz today would be a mild inconvenience at best.
No, no, obviously not *that*. An option that lets them *keep* bombing Iran. *sighs* Kids these days.
After shooting, Virginia Beach may impose 7 p.m. curfew for minors at Oceanfront through March:
I actually like the music from HAPB. The Dell-Aires were pretty good musicians. Lyrics could have used a few more rewrites, of course.
With other men, perhaps, such things would not have been inducements
And there was no A.I. to blame it on.
And he's admitting that oil is the reason. Rare for them to be so...honest about it.
As Frodo said to Gollum, there is no promise the U.S. can make that Iran can trust. A promise to never be attacked again? Trump would break that promise in an instant. He's already backed out of one major U.S.-Iran agreement, and now he's bombed the hell out of them. Iran can't trust him.

I've got a better idea, Iran: What if we got rid of Trump? You lost your fascist dictator, we'll lose ours, and we'll call it even. How's that sound to you? 'Cause, to me, it sounds like a win-win.
So first of all, the DOJ's standards are....extremely fallen, I cannot imagine this happening much earlier in time.
Second, the word "intentionally" has very specific meaning and this lawyer thirty years into practice knows what it means, and the judge is being very clear about that.
As "regulated" as healthcare is in this country, I cannot believe this is legal.

I *love* science fiction, and I blocked this company on my media feeds a while back. They are just awful, and this job ad lays that bare.
If you write a story
and it gets rejected…
You still wrote a story. Do you think just anyone can do that? Be proud of yourself.
And newest member of Blue Man Group.
The only people forcing her to buy a new computer are the companies that make new computers all the time, forcing businesses to buy them to "keep up", and in turn making individuals buy them to connect with the businesses. It's practically a force of nature, at this point.
Vaccines save lives.
That’s it. That’s the post.
murderers still sailed on
To begin with it had been too stark, too crazy, too much what the man in the street would have said, "Oh yes, I could have told you that," about. Then some phrases like "Interactive Subjectivity Frameworks" were invented, and everybody was able to relax and get on with it.
It's like watching Celebrity Deathmatch.
These responses are from people who are open to A.I. in general, I take it?
