You do need wiggle room for this. It's clearly good intentioned, but if you have no wiggle room whatsoever, it a) doesn't stop the grifting, because those who want to grift will just go underground and/or b) it'll just become a selectively enforced based on whoever is in power. It be better to have the exemption, but make reporting, disclosure, and conflict of interest laws much stricter and enforceable
I tell my students if you have to tell people its a prank or explain why its a prank, its not a prank
Completely unrelated, but I hate those fucking people in the image on the science side. I'm a teacher and every half-assed TPT lesson plan has those fugly people on them.
You get used to it.
You good, its an outside case. My father openly jokes about how he "wasn't planned"
The 13 year old brother was my dad growing up. He was the youngest of 5 and his eldest brother is 15 years older than him.
Shouldn't be treason, insider trading should be more accurate. I'm also fine with them having investments, they should just be placed in a blind trust for the duration of their time in office. I also think you should raise your gift limit to something like $1000 and/or exempt personal gifts from family/friends; it become too much a political tool if you can get someone called up on charges for accepting a tie from their kid on Father's Day or their spouse buying them lunch.
It is to them. For them, everything must fit into boxes, they cannot accept any nuance or complicaitons.
People overblow what that decision was about. It didn't allow President's to run around and break whatever law they wanted, whenever they wanted, what it did was make it really difficult for actions within the scope of their powers as President to be used as evidence of a crime. The decision was basically tailor made to prevent Trump from being prosecuted for his actions on Jan 6.
That's called a poison pill, you know you can't defeat it so you try to attach something to it to make it inoperable or undermine it
I don't agree with blatant hostage taking, but it's unrealistic to expect every bill to stand on its own. Promising to vote on one bill in exchange for concessions or votes on another is a part of negotiation.
That's monumentally stupid. It doesn't incentive good leadership or smart economic decisions or anything other than "no deficit"
No, the SAVE Act is just that bad and monumentally stupid that they're having a hard time even finding enough Republicans willing to fight for it.
It's a two-way street. If they refuse to work with me and/or are unwilling to compromise, there's not much I can do.
Everyone has their own way of arriving to human decency. Some people need an external force guiding them to it, others rely on logic, and others still rely on their own intution. I don't think it matters as much HOW you get there, just so long as you do.
It get your argument but he's addressing the issue at the same level as the GOP. For lack of a better term, being a dick to trans kids is a secondary objective for the GOP. Most aren't talking about it because they feel strongly about it, they're talking about because it let's them scapegoat and fear monger out of having to engage in actual issues they don't have policies on.
I don't think the "Shield of America" thing is even dumber than you think. These are people who fundamentally can't admit their wrong, they don't want to fire her, so she's just "reassigned"
That is nothi g new, we already have laws to prevent/punish people impersonating others for financial gain. All I'm saying is that image of fake girl =/= scam and there's more pressing issues with AI
... them were not in the Army or arrest every model that's ever been in any type of themed photo shoot for defrauding customers, I don't think there's much of a case. In my mind, there's a ton of reasons to worry about AI, from the climate impacts to misinformation to impact on local communities, but people making a buck by creating soft-core porn of fake women is pretty low on the list.
I think you could make a case that some of these accounts (like the ones mentioned by the OP) are scams, but that's not because the pictures are AI. You could have a real person do something similar and photoshop them in, all the AI does is make it easier. If the account is just making pictures of attractive women and selling them, people have done that for 100s of years. Unless we're going to go back and retroactively declare all those 1940 WWII era pin-ups scams because the women in ...
It's not, the skirt was one for me. It seemed entirely too short for what I remember from friends/family I know who served.
I think there's plenty of reasons to be concerned about AI, but is that technically a scam? Dudes want pictures of pretty ladies, someone on instagram provides. Does it matter to anyone that the pictures are of fake people?
And if she did, people would start complaining that she didn't do enough. I think the thing everyone ignores with this is that the Biden Administration wasn't responsible for Gaza: it was Bibi Netenyahu's government and they had no reason to work with the Biden Administration considering they new there was a non-zero chance that they would get a more favorable Admin in 4 years.
Because we've decided that relying on the largesse of rich people to continue funding basic needs is a really quick way to feudalism
... misinformation he will spread.
... can tell you that "the current guy" does not last (this is why most autocratic/fascist regimes tend to fall to infighting and/or internal stupidity). The fact is that there is no way for Trump to sieze control of elections, its not worth considering and it's farcical to act like he can, as it only grants him more power than he has thru the veil of inevitablity. That being said, we should be cognizent of how he will attempt to muck up the election, after it happens (a la 2020) and the ...
Nope, all. If you only have 3 or 4 states you are either manipulating states that have no impact on the election (i.e Wyoming) or some 30 other states will absolutely tie everything else up in court. Even one state is next to impossible. With how our elections are run, even one state requires the complicity of hundreds, if not thousands of state and local officials being completely willing to surrender all local autonomy. Even if you agree with the current guy, anyone with half a brain ...
And doesn't have to roll it through lawyers before posting
At the moment, I don't think anything beyond an uncomfortably close relationship.
He needs all the states to be complicit or it doesn't work, it's all or nothing
