No one's stopping you from making art if you want to, and you will be better at it than an AI.

ArmokGoB ,

Too busy abusing their mod powers to enforce their political views in most communities.

ArmokGoB ,

We shouldn't be giving them a platform.

ArmokGoB ,

That should be grounds for removal of the post.

ArmokGoB ,

Hope and despair are both meaningless when they aren't backed up by effective action.

ArmokGoB ,

You might as well burn your ballot. It'll at least keep you warm for a minute or two.

The vote I cast in 2020 was against trump and not for Biden.

Uh, no?

Victim reports his father missing. Police instead interrogated him for 17 hours, said they killed his dog, and withheld his meds from the victim. Victim tried to commit suicide in the room. ( lemmy.world )

At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator....

When shit like this happens, we need an armed mob outside the department the next day.

Air conditioning should be a requirement of habitability anywhere where it regularly gets over 100 degrees fahrenheit.

Do people get arrested for stepping on ants when they walk down the street?

ArmokGoB ,

This could have been a text post and nothing would have been lost.

ArmokGoB ,

the luke warm centrist who will agree in theory but not in action

So, like the entire half of Lemmy calling for armed revolution against the US government?

ArmokGoB ,

Yeah, I'm sure if you ask nicely, you can persuade the cops to not give you a bean bag round lobotomy.

My mom showed me what Limewire was when I was a kid. She didn't know what piracy was.

Qualified experts of Lemmy, do people believe you when you answer questions in your field?

The internet has made a lot of people armchair experts happy to offer their perspective with a degree of certainty, without doing the work to identify gaps in their knowledge. Often the mark of genuine expertise is knowing the limitations of your knowledge....

I have a MSc in Computational Media. I've had to read a lot of research on the dangers of social media, how harmful ideas spread online, and how people form unhealthy relationships with platforms. LW is still federated with LML, and I think my instance is still federated with Hexbear. So no, people don't give a quarter of a fuck what I have to say.

People shouldn't have to adjust their consumption patterns to fight against corporations. Corporations should have to adjust themselves to prevent their offices from being burned down.

Chinese police were allowed into Australia to speak with a woman. They breached protocol and escorted her back to China ( www.abc.net.au )

Chinese police hunting international corruption targets were allowed into Australia by the federal police and subsequently escorted a woman back to China for trial, in a major breach of Chinese-Australian police protocols....

ArmokGoB ,

I think this is what molotov cocktails were made for.

ArmokGoB ,

I have a MSc from a state university and can't even get an interview.

ArmokGoB ,

Also the Lemmy.ml mods when you call Hexbear accounts tankies

ArmokGoB ,

We've been at the point where defederating would have been better for months.

ArmokGoB ,

Hexbear sends their commissar clown car around to threads they disagree with, especially in political/news communities, and brigade them with their tankie bullshit ideology.

ArmokGoB ,

The fact we stay federated with them is disgraceful.

ArmokGoB ,

Preach

ArmokGoB ,

A studio apartment can be over $3,000 in the Bay Area. Meanwhile, there are like five homeless people on every block of the city I lived in with five-digit population. The city would need to find some way to seize land, without calling for a vote, in order to have enough housing for everyone since rent control has been voted against for over a decade.

The main issue is that people would vote to drive the homeless into the sea before they would vote to house them.

ArmokGoB ,

a state should be rapidly obligated to house IT’S homeless, not ALL OF AMERICA’S homeless

This is unconstitutional under the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Justice Miller explained that one of the privileges conferred by this Clause "is that a citizen of the United States can, of his own volition, become a citizen of any State of the Union by a bona fide residence therein, with the same rights as other citizens of that State."

So all a homeless person would have to do is travel to any state; claim residence, which wouldn't be hard since they don't exactly have a home; and then petition the state for housing. I didn't have a primary address and did this a few months ago, and was able to get SNAP and Medicaid through the state.

ArmokGoB ,

Suicide is illegal though, so you better make yourself profitable before you die.

ArmokGoB ,

Trying to sell this idea to people—this idea that the Constitution will get changed to support this fantasy of yours—as anything other than mad ravings is what's bad faith in this conversation. Confront the reality of the situation if you are truly interested in making change happen.

Men will not look at things as they really are but as they wish them to be and they are ruined.

ArmokGoB ,

That isn't even in the same county I was in, let alone the same city.

ArmokGoB ,

there are like five homeless people on every block of the city I lived in

ArmokGoB ,

We had unfocused action in the 2020 protests and it was laughably ineffective because of it.

ArmokGoB ,

Does this change anything? Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment.

ArmokGoB ,

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Truth is widely accepted as a complete defense to all defamation claims.

The way you win a defamation lawsuit is by proving what you're claiming is factually correct. I'm gonna need some sort of case law citation showing that what you're claiming was ever an established interpretation.

She could be his lawyer. Who knows what's going on here TBH.

How Columbia Protest Ends ( lemmy.world )

With the greenlight of Columbia President Minouche Shafik and her administration, NYPD has entered Hind Hall through the windows and begun to mass arrest students inside. Let this be remembered as Columbia and Shafik’s legacy: one of mobilizing the violence and terror of the state against their own students and faculty, solely...

ArmokGoB ,

The protesters should have been armed so that they could repel this.

ArmokGoB ,

Meaningful change is written in blood.

ArmokGoB ,

I went to a state university and I was paid about $1,000 a month as a graduate student researcher, while living in a $1,700 a month dorm.

ArmokGoB ,

I agree. Breeding them should have strict criminal penalties.
