there are plenty of "honestly-pretty-good reasons" we plebs shouldn't have access to general purpose computers, and we're only a few decades away from them reclassified into the equivalent of fully automatic rifles.

smokers pay obscene amount of money in cigarette tax for decades only to die in their 50's or 60's instead of collecting the benefits of having also contributed into social security all their lives. most of them die suddenly from a heart attack or after a short illness.

We call for a prohibition on the development of faster-than-light travel, not lifted before there is

2. strong public buy-in.

I wish they had told reddit to go fuck itself and taken that to court.

unlike the new york times lawsuit - where the platform owns their content and training is a gray area - reddit doesn't own shit. and if they insist otherwise - bye bye section 230 protections, no? they now retroactively own every post in r/jailbait and r/coontown.

also, case in point, normal people don't dig through a random stranger's post history to look for an ad hominem opportunity, and instead evaluate individual posts by their contents. lol.

and here you are, clutching pearls about AI girlfriends. lol. lmao.

as long as your web service isn't horribly mismanaged, even to a $5 VPS the bot traffic is infinitesimal background radiation.

of all the bullshit I read about Russia these days, the persistent insistence that the regime has any support at all at this point is by far the most infuriating one. the best it can get is tepid "the devil you know" from the 40+ crowd who had lived through the 90's and are justifiably terrified of another violent collapse.

the OP is right - (virtually) no one is reading all that shit.
