This is obscene.

What I am saying is that if you want to regulate social media companies, pass a law, don't punish companies for breaking a law that isn't on the books. The harm from cigarette use is direct, and there is no level of cigarette use

This isn't about regulation. This is about people bringing a lawsuit against social media companies for their addiction. Problem gamblers and alcoholics aren't suing the casinos and distilleries.

Social media companies are also regulated, but we are talking about whether social media companies should be liable for creating addictive content when porn has the same qualities of being easily available and free.

You don't need all the asterisks if you don't stretch the metaphor beyond its breaking point.

So what you're saying is that we should ban porn then?

This is the lie that keeps people addicted. Plenty of people quit their very real addictions every day. If you imagine you're helplessly addicted, you will remain addicted.

And yet we're talking about a case against social media companies and not a case against casinos or distillers.

If it was legal to hand out cigarettes to children and the parents consented I don't see how the company could be held liable. The state should not be doing the job of parents, and the judicial branch should not being doing the job of

I hate that this needs to be said, but giving kids free food is not illegal.

>The point is, when tense situations happen, you need to have everyone keep their cool. That's why we train law enforcement to de-escalate instead of doing what they are doing right now, which is antagonizing and brutalizing. You ab

This argument would apply to any voting method regardless of how secure it was. If the "threat actors" are the only important factor then the voting method is irrelevant.

Not holding elections during a war does not mean you aren't a democracy.

You say that as if creative jobs haven't been obsoleted by technology in the past. How many sign painters or weavers do you see around today? In fact, the theoretical turn in 20th century art was due in part to the invention of the cam

LLMs are absolutely trained on commercial work. You just need to look at the lawsuits coming out against the AI companies.

When did they change their wording?

You will decrease your chance of having this happen by not explicitly prompting the model to silently change things

This is proof that even people with the wrong information can end up eating the right foods.

Is it really a meme if "fucked up attention span" is one of the hallmarks of the disorder?

This ignores the cost of living as a mormon for 85 years

Because people become reliant on the system to stay sober. Not to mention the only info on the ground you're getting is from people in the cult.

There's plenty to criticize them for on the hardware front. Why design round edges on your macbook pro and then put cheese grater vent holes on the sides where you're most likely to pick it up? Same goes for the Apple TV remote.

My personal experience is that it does more harm than good by having meetings constantly remind people that they can easily relapse. It can be good to have structure at the beginning, but at some point the best way to stay sober is just to

I suspect that just having a single device for everything is more likely.

Those wacky law lists never have any proper sources, and I can only assume were scavenged from early internet chain letters or "1001 Weird Facts" type books.

Not much of a theory when everything you described has already happened.
