He’s playing both sides, so that he always comes out on top.

Fuck Zionism.

steventhedev OP , in An MLB first! Jansen plays for both teams in same game

I thought of something: does this count as him having played a single game that is both a loss and a win? Or as playing in two games?

Some poor soul is going to try to do data validation and figure out that the number of wins plus the number of losses does not equal the number of games played, and it’s 100% legit.

AlligatorBlizzard ,

Okay, I’m really curious how this will work officially. I’m one of those nerds who think it’s kinda neat that you can watch an entire baseball game in an Excel spreadsheet.

Is there any interest in a FOSS baseball/softball scorebook that can calculate stuff for you? Might be a fun project.

My 2 cents of logic is that the first part would only apply to its individual scores and stats, not the team ones: the second part of the match will determine the winning team, nothing was decided in the first part, so no win/lose condition can apply to its previous half-match, and when the victory was defined he got a defined team…

novibe , in Mexico puts relations with US and Canadian embassies 'on pause' for slamming judicial overhaul plan

This is very confusing…

So the people against the plan are “investors and financial institutions”. And people want the president to “respect democracy”.

But the plan is to have judges be democratically elected instead of appointed?

Feels like the elites don’t like this plan cause it’ll be slightly harder to handpick their guys to the courts, and are on a media campaign against it.

America’s ‘democratically elected judges’ are not unbiased. Just look at SCOTUS ffs. Those judges were elected to every judgeship they had previously yet some can’t seem to reason themselves out of a wet paper back.

iorale ,

If you think citizens would pick who the judges could be, then you are poorly informed.
They would be picked by the state (fully controlled right now by the president and his party) and the citizens would just vote who of those they would like, but at the end of the day all of them would be aligned with the presiden’s cult. Then in comes the corruption, because they’d need money for the election and boy let me tell you… The narcos are just salivating the idea.

polographer ,

Where does it say it will be picked by the state ?

iorale , (edited )

It’s implicit since there’s no mechanism for the citizens to choose the candidates or to propose themselves; the state (generally speaking) will pick the candidates and since they did what the Republicans did in some parts of the USA, they have a majority and control of everything hence why they will be aligned with the kks, we’ll be used to only vote who of their picks we want so they can say «see? the people picked them so this is democratic and totally legitimate».
We have no say in this or a way to say «fuck these picks, we want someone actually capable and better», people are making protests as we speak but the president only has to say they are neoliberals, the right, conservatives and insult them like he has done every single day and tell his cult to just approve it (they control the congress and the senate) and they will.

Edit: memory fails me, but I think it was written in the document which organisms were going to pick the candidates, non of them were civil organizations or independent, you’d have to look for it because the goverment keeps piling up problems here and there’s just too much to keep up.

AlexWIWA , in Drivers Hate The Tech In Their Cars

Car tech peaked in 2018. Everything since then has been a down grade in my opinion

waitmarks ,

I agree, I bought my car in 2018 and its got a small screen and carplay / android auto. No OTA updated, no capacitive buttons, i don’t have to dig through touchscreen menus to change settings. I want to go electric soon, but everything i have driven is obnoxious with what you have to deal with in the cabin.

AlexWIWA ,

Very similar for me. I wish I had carplay, but otherwise my car does everything I want it to do without any fuss. I don’t need a wrap around screen on the dashboard because I’m looking at the road.

Gumbyyy ,

My 2017 Toyota is loaded with touchscreen crap so I guess YMMV

AlexWIWA ,

I threw out 2018 somewhat arbitrarily because it’s when I still saw physical buttons but also got carplay.

finley , in New York University adopts measures declaring 'Zionists' a protected class

Based on what? Their prolific rate of genocide?

Their UN mandated right to exist which terrorists oppose.

The UN isn’t always perfect.

The terrorists are the mass child murdering and raping scum in Israel.

Cephalotrocity ,

Be sure to say this if they ever declare it a palestinian genocide.

The terrorists are the mass child murdering and raping scum in Israel.

This is why we remember 9/11, coming in 2 weeks. To remind those that desperately need it who the actual terrorists are.

@DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz avatar

they havent seen fit to do that in the last 80+ years since they chartered the country on occupied territory. they have seen the deaths, looting, rapes, and so on over that time (all classified im sure youll be absolutely devastated to learn as terrorism, not that the word really means anything other than “enemy”) committed by the chosen people as it was committed unto them by the nazis in turn, folding their arms in callous disregard, and said, “the ends justify the means.”

there can be more than one terrorist at a time. i dare say three or even four might be possible.

Okay, I’ll gladly repeat that they were wrong about enabling a fascist ethnostate.

DarkNightoftheSoul ,
@DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz avatar

even if the un werent overwhelmingly biased and laughably ineffective, you are appealing to authority instead of answering the relevant accusation of genocide. i will go further and say if one’s right to exist is dependent on stealing land and murdering the inhabitants on any scale, let alone the scale in practice by israel, that claim of right to exist is the merest rhetoric justifying the most blatant and obvious and atrocious crimes against nature and humanity i have seen in my lifetime.

Cephalotrocity ,

No, you’re employing a Red Herring to distract from the fact the question is “what is zionists being a protected class based on?”

Zionist /= pro-genocide. One can simultaneously believe Israel has a right to exist without supporting how they’ve behaved of late. In fact, this insertion of ‘but genocide’ as a de facto justification for all pro-zionist hate only supports my point.

DarkNightoftheSoul ,
@DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz avatar

its not a red herring, the positive argument has yet to be made on your part: on what basis should zionism be a protected class?

i feel like the genocide practiced by and supported by zionists is sufficient justification for an anti-zionist stance. it is certainly sufficient for an anti-nazi stance: can you imagine someone saying “the insertuon of someone saying ‘but genocide’ to justify pro -nazi hate only supports my point.” in that context? thats what you sound like to me. you sound like a nazi supporter dancing around their de facto support of genocide.

Cephalotrocity ,

I agree that anti-zionist should be a protected class too. Both sides are subject to false projections and hate and should be protected.

DarkNightoftheSoul ,
@DarkNightoftheSoul@mander.xyz avatar

here i think we mostly agree, but students already have extra protections and responsibilities above the level of common citizens. what further protections and/or responsibilities are required here?

Cephalotrocity ,

Increase the consequences of actual hate speech to discourage it. In my eyes it is the root of all the horrors enacted in the past almost century. Keep the disagreement polite, without threats of violence from either side, and resolve this rationally so this BS can end.

Unfortunately nobody is incentivized to do this so the pinball machine keeps ding-a-linging daily…

CrayonMaster ,

Either way, is calling a plotical stance a protected class normal in New York? It’s not anywhere else.

Zionism does not equal Judaism; it’s a political stance, not a cultural identity

NauticalNoodle , in Man Arrested for Creating Child Porn Using AI

Show me multiple (let’s say 3+) small-scale independent academic studies or 1-2 comprehensive & large academic studies that support one side or another and I may be swayed, Otherwise I think all that is being accomplished is that one guys life is getting completely ruined for now and potentially forever over some fabrications and as a result he may or may not get help, but I doubt he’ll be better off.

—My understanding was that csam has it’s legal status specifically because there are victims that are hurt by these crimes and possession supports a broader market that faciltates said harm to these victims. It’s not as easy to make a morality argument (especially a good one) for laws that effect everybody when there are no known victims.

PsychedSy ,

Dude is gonna get fucked, but someone had to be the test case. Hopefully this gets some legal clarity.

emmy67 ,

Are you stupid? Something has to be in the training model for any generation to be possible. This is just a new way to revitalise kids

NauticalNoodle ,

So are you suggesting they can get an unaltered facial I.D. of the kids in the images? —Because that makes it regular csam with a specific victim (as mentioned), not an ai generative illustration.

emmy67 ,

No, I am telling you csam images can’t be generated by an algorithm that hasn’t trained on csam

NauticalNoodle ,

That’s patently false.

I’m not going to continue to entertain this discussion but instead I’m just going to direct you to the multiple other people who have already effectively disproven this argument and similar arguments elsewhere in this post’s discusion. Enjoy.

emmy67 ,

Sure thing bud. Sure thing 🙄

emmy67 ,

Also if you’d like to see how the corn dog comment is absurd and wrong. Go look up my comment.

ameancow ,

Not necessarily, AI can do wild things with combined attributes.

That said, I do feel very uncomfortable with the amount of defense of this guy, he was distributing this to people. If he was just generating fake images of fake people using legal training data in his own house for his own viewing, that would be a different story. The amount of people jumping in front of the bullet for this guy when we don’t really know the details is the larger problem.
