We keep sinking lower and lower on the bar for civilized society. It was already bad in the US. It feels like a new low every day, either in competency, in malevolence, moral depravity, or all three. We’ve gone from “it’s the season of giving” to propagandizing fascist Santa, complete with passive aggressive Merry Christmas.

In the CECOT video, the president & warden are like, “Oh yeah, we fuck people up! Humans rights don’t matter here.” They are gloating to try and remove the shame of their lack of morality. Same thing is happening here. Shock & awe, flood the zone, & it never ends.

I gave up posting last night after failing 3 times in a row.

A lot of people are saying there isn’t a rights argument, which I think is true.

Considering this through the lens of a video game, is it morally bad if I pay a hooker in GTA, use their services, and then kill them? I don’t think there is harm. I don’t think there are rights. It wouldn’t matter if everyone was cruel to GTA NPCs.

Having said that, from a behavioral position, I don’t think it’s morally good. Put another way, this sort of behavior isn’t a good thing to emulate. I don’t think it’s a good idea to cultivate a habit of emulating cruelty.

As others have said, there’s still the risk of AGI in the future as well.

With where we are right now, I don’t think it’s a big deal, but I’m not interested in entertaining new slurs, fictional or real.

2025 years * 365 days = 739,125 days 900,000,000,000 / 739,125 = $1,217,656.01/day

You need to make over $1m per day for 2025 years. There’s usually about 250 days a working year, so it’s worse if you tried to live a “normal” life.

This is insane. It’s unethical. It shouldn’t exist. It’s not debatable for me. Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, hell, a person with a brain: we can all see this is bullshit. Put it in a human scale, and it shouldn’t exist.

For Op: is it this?

That’s called Unitarian Universalism.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Yes, agreed.

• Romans 12:13
• James 2:15-16
• John 13:34

In the New Testament, there’s plenty of pro immigrant quotes. It’s harder to find the anti-immigrant sentiment (unless you expand to the whole Bible).

These are important to me as gifts from my sister who passed away a few weeks ago. She gave them to me when I was 8 or something, and I’m 36 now. They are supposed to be for good luck & improved studies.

From the article for Tl;dr

Could be a blooper, prank, or comedy show. Someone also posted AI examples that are close too.

Wild. I guess with enough data.

I would wager comedy show as a good guess based on the other commentor’s observation, but could be AI.

I don’t think so, primarily because of the reversed title on the desk. That would be pretty hard for it to calculate as a detail.

I find myself sitting down without screens more often nowadays because of this phenomenon. Sometimes it’s just too much.

My thought exactly. “Oh shit…DBZ was right…”

I can’t solve your issues, but you sound unmedicated or like your meds are mismatched. I’m far from “meds solve everything!” and strongly believe that talk therapy is the best route forward (with a competent therapist, because I’ve had bad ones). Having said that, with what you’re communicating, I get the sense that meds could help.

Hoping you feel better, homie. Sorry you’re going through a rough patch. I lost my sister to suicide 2 weeks ago, and I hope you never take that route.

No words should be banned. Words may have repercussions, socially speaking.

I think it’s in poor taste, especially as a sitting president, to use this language. It’s abhorrent and indefensible. It lowers the quality of our speech in government and erodes civility.

If you want to say it, well, it’s America. Freedoms. Fuck yeah. All that. But, if you want to shout the N word, R word, or the 6 letter F word, then I’ll respectfully ask that we don’t communicate.
