BobGnarley , in Child sex-trafficking survivor who killed her abuser will finally learn her fate at sentencing hearing next week

If she gets charged people should riot in the street.

She’s been charged and plead guilty (which took life with no possibility of parole off the table), but now it’s a question of whether she gets prison time or an alternative for her sentence

abigscaryhobo , in ‘Bumble fumble’: online dating apps struggle as people swear off swiping

As a guy, these apps suck. I’ve met a few people on them, but it’s very obvious that they are deliberately hiding matches and people that are your type behind a paywall. It’s not in their best interest to show you people that have the same interests as you, it’s better if they bundle them all up and slap a big fat price tag on the front.

People are starting to realize these apps aren’t about hooking up or making connections, they’re about squeezing desperate people looking for love into giving money for the promise of finding it.

I liked the part where he said “much more than 100%, a much bigger number” of the job creation went to illegal immigration.

It struck her that officers appeared to ignore they had been dispatched to a medical call. By the end, instead of rushing Turner away in an ambulance, police and paramedics spent six minutes recounting the violence.

“Gee boys, sure am glad we got this bad guy, he could’ve hurt those ladies in there with all this thrashing around! Don’t you hate when women yell annoying things like “don’t hurt him!” and “he’s having a seizure!”? They just don’t* understand what sickos like him could do to them.”

Good.

I always have great conversations with girls on apps. Then when we set up a date I get ghosted the day of. The one time the date actually would have happened the girl was a LOT larger than her pics. And I have no problem with dating a bigger girl but I do have a problem with liars. Never again.

rehydrate5503 ,

Similar situation here. Lots of ghosting, or unmatching the day of a scheduled date. Had two dates in the last few months of using the apps. First woman was about 15 years older than her pics. Not unattractive by any means, but felt lied to from the get go. The other, let’s just say she had some work done after most recent pics, and the surgeon shouldn’t be practicing.

Captainvaqina ,

Maybe he was practicing on her

Hmmm.

Sounds good to me I haven’t met anyone so I can happily quit them now methinks, especially if they will financially suffer at this point

Boddhisatva , in Faith group ‘heartbroken’ over Northwest Arkansas women’s prison closure

On the one hand, it shows that when you don’t treat people like animals, they are far less likely to act like animals. So it’s a shame that the place is closing. On the other hand, the “faith groups” are probably just upset that they are loosing their captive audience for evangelism.

In the same way that the heat death of the universe is closer than ever, yes.

Edit: actually, I expect the heat death of the universe to occur first.

Met my now-wife on Bumble in 2019, but I have a feeling it peaked around that time based on all the stories I’ve heard.

Might have to do with commodifying relationships, but who am I to guess 🙃

Boddhisatva , in Tennessee family's lawsuit says video long kept from them shows police force, not drugs, killed son

My late godson was epileptic. Many years ago, he was working at a local theater selling candy and popcorn. He was the only one behind the counter and the manager was selling tickets up front. A woman walked up to the manager and complained that his worker, my godson, was on drugs or something and she wanted to buy popcorn. He was having a seizure but the clueless woman decided he must be on drugs. But she was just some clueless Karen.

Now, I tell that story to demonstrate that most people don’t understand seizure disorders. I could understand, maybe (big maybe) if the cops didn’t understand. But how could the paramedics be so clueless? They were called for a medical issue. The mother, at the scene, told them he was having a seizure. Why were the cops there at all?

Samvega ,

I have heard of people experiencing the disordered cognition after a stroke being labelled as ‘drunk and disorderly’, and being detained without medical intervention. Sometimes their lack of ability to follow orders leads to them being assaulted by criminals, sorry. the ‘reasonable use of force’ by a ‘police officer’.

Honestly I blame tv for giving people the wrong idea when it comes to seizures. Everyone has this image of a person failing widely and dangerously but that really isn’t how most seizures play out. I can understand not recognizing one if you’ve never seen it before but once you’ve seen one there’s no excuse. The medics on this scene should have known what was happening, no excuse there. They should have their certifications revoked.

ouRKaoS ,

Why were the cops there at all?

Cops, in the US at least, are the “catch all” emergency service. There’s more of them and they are in smaller, faster vehicles than the fire department or EMS.

Police get dispatched to a lot of things first to “assess the situation” because they can arrive faster, and it shows that something is being done because someone has shown up, even though it may take twice as long before an ambulance gets there.

popcap200 , in San Francisco goes after websites that make AI deepfake nudes of women and girls

I can’t imagine the difficulty of resolving this, especially since most of the AI models are available for free use.

teejay , (edited )

Yeah it’s a chimera hydra, similar to illegal movie streaming sites. Unless they solve it at the AI engine level, they’re just chasing ghosts.

Aethr ,

Do you mean hydra?

teejay ,

Shit, my bad. Yep I meant hydra. I need to brush up on my Greek mythology.

conciselyverbose ,

You won’t prevent it without (or even with) unacceptable restrictions on free speech. Those models have a right to exist.

But you can raise the barrier to entry so people will need to run their own service to do it. You’ll make a crazy dent in middle school kids spreading fake nudes of their classmates if they can’t just use a managed online service.

MagicShel ,

New ones maybe. The current ones are out there and won’t go anywhere.

Frozyre , in San Francisco goes after websites that make AI deepfake nudes of women and girls

Why just women and girls? Why not young boys too?

Bluefalcon ,

Most of the time it is against females. Same as rape but guys are still raped too. It is that quiet reality that most people don’t acknowledged. Slowly new laws are catching up but it is still one side focused.

SendMePhotos ,

I would imagine that any deep fake nude could only give me a bigger weiner.

Bluefalcon ,

Or it is revenge and make it even smaller.

Bluefalcon , in Tennessee family's lawsuit says video long kept from them shows police force, not drugs, killed son

People wonder why I always say “Fuck All Cops,” this is why. They don’t serve their communities, or protect the innocence. They pointlessly kill citizens and protects the rich. They abuse students in all grades and walks of life. They are an outdated evil entity that needs to be reformed. Until that is done, FUCK ALL COPS!

cmbabul , (edited ) in ‘Bumble fumble’: online dating apps struggle as people swear off swiping

Historically I’ve had a lot of success and met some really great women, even had awesome relationships with a few, but things changed at some point after Covid. I barely see anyone that isn’t almost the exact opposite of what I look for and thats alongside the litany of notifications to buy something
