blazera , to nottheonion in Nebraska governor signs executive order defining men as "bigger, stronger and faster"
@blazera@kbin.social avatar

Theres a lot of obvious layers of stupidity here, i wanna point out the ludicrousness of thinking you can define legislative legal terms through executive order.

jonne ,

There’s just going to be a bunch of absurd lawsuits coming out of this.

RizzRustbolt , to nottheonion in Louisiana's new "Ten Commandments" law actually contains eleven commandments

What do you mean “Thall shalt not horn in on thy husband’s racket” isn’t a commandment?

Also: “Thou shalt not take… moochers into thy… hut.”

Want to get rid of security cameras? This is how.

I don’t know, this sounds like what they do in London.

Edit: I’m not saying that’s a good thing, I’m saying it didn’t get rid of cameras. It increased their numbers vastly.

do they have access to private video cameras in London or are those all government cameras?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think they have access to private cameras, but why would they need them when there are government cameras literally everywhere? I don’t know if you’ve been to London, but there are cameras on virtually every light pole. There are literally tens of thousands of government surveillance cameras in the UK.

This is not an unusual sight:

If they can’t access private cameras, they will add so many public ones that they aren’t necessary. It’s a bigger problem than just access to private cameras.

I’m not actually against public security cameras. I think London is a bit much, but hey—they caught that crime.

AmberPrince , to nottheonion in Wall Street Journal complains about workers using their sick days
@AmberPrince@kbin.social avatar

I hated that article. I don't need all of the charged language or opinion. Here'sthe WSJ article if y'all want to read it of note, the WSJ isn't really making a determination here. Mostly just quoting out of touch executives and labor firms.

I'm all for work reform but how this comes back on the Wall Street Journal is beyond me.

I agree that the article linked here misrepresents the original. I think you could make a case for the original taking the old timey, generation-wars perspective of "these gen Z-ers and their entitlement", although they've clearly tried to preempt it in the piece fairly explicitly.

I also agree that misrepresenting the article erodes trust in the outlet, although to what extent Boingboing has an editorial line these days I don't know.

mob ,

Yeah that article/site was weird. Felt really bias right off the bat

I’m ok with most spiders I encounter, and sometimes find photos cute too

But that thumbnail is scary

MehBlah , to technology in Scarlett Johansson denied OpenAI the right to use her voice. They used it anyway.

Send a huge bill and then sue for payment. Let them fight the fight for you.

AllYourSmurf , to technology in Elon Musk’s ironic bot army exposed
Decoy321 ,

In fairness, this is not a new danger. Koch media affiliates have been doing this for decades.

It’s still absolutely dangerous, just didn’t need AI to be so.

this headline does not read like news.

FlyingSquid , to news in Why diamonds suck
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The stupidest part is synthetic diamonds are just as good for anyone but the most discerning of jewelers, but people still don’t want them.

RogueBanana ,

Not that stupid when you realize a lot of people see them as status symbols and don’t want people to think it’s “fake” even if its better or rather perfect. Sucks but ig people really like bloodied shiny rocks over anything else if it makes them look rich.

Honytawk ,

Because natural diamonds are made artificially scarce, that is why they are so expensive.

While synthetic are not.

People want expensive things, not diamonds per se.

I was going to post the original wapo article, but then I saw wapo wouldn’t even let me read the whole thing. I don’t knowingly link to articles that are paywalled.
