So your proposal is to completely scrap how American liability laws work and create something new?

I don't think that would be all bad, definitely ambitious.

What about the the current victims? How should they receive their restitution in the meantime?

"...the alleged abuses were allowed to continue for years..."

If you've lived in a small town than you know that word of this was in many households that stayed silent.

That's just how small rural towns in America work on issues of abuse.

If you believe this was a completely contained secret, then I have a bridge to sell you.

But yes, many people who are completely innocent will be impacted. What's your alternative solution?

In a community that's small, there is no way many of these same families and homeowners weren't aware of that predator.

The community enabled him and now the community has to pay for that choice.

What's your alternative solution?

Western policy certainly paved the way for the Islamic revolution, but encroaching Western decadence is not the reason why they're censoring women's legs at the moment.

I'm a fan of his single $40 trillion dollar issue platform.

He's got my vote.

I don't understand why using the state's authority to intentionally and illegally destroy someone's life isn't being talked about as a capital crime.

If we're a country that supports the death penalty, we might as well put it to some good use.

I understand why the agents of the state won't talk about it like that, but I don't understand why the citizens don't start talking about it in those terms.

Go to conservative forums, all of the top comments are about how his politics don't matter, lashing out at "the left" for pointing out his politics, or lamenting the fact that politics are even brought into this terrible tragedy.

I won't hazard a guess at administrative/bureaucratic staff breakdowns, but you can bet your ass that the people who work inside the prisons, voted overwhelmingly for Trump.

Elect Democrats next presidential cycle and watch them do nothing to prosecute any of the criminal acts by agents of this administration, much less do anything to actually rebalance the economy.

Then watch them lose the following election and blame radical leftists.

This is the way.

That TMZ comment section is a hoot.

That's so 20th century.

21st century DNC is all about that sweet private equity cash and making land acknowledgments.

Putting your phone down is good, for sure.

But unless you're planning on not using a smartphone, you might as well take reasonable precautionary measures i.e. using Graphene.

That was great, things for sharing!

The installation couldn't be more simple...just use the web installer and follow the simple instructions of when to click.

I've been installing custom ROMs since 4.0, and the advent of web installers, such as for Graphene, are the easiest ROMs I've ever flashed.

Much simpler than even the custom recovery route, which was already fairly straightforward, but this is even easier IMO.

Can you elaborate on their use of the ban hammer of injustice?

I don't use it, so I'm unaware of any dramas, but mass banning sounds interesting.

That's my point, I don't use LLMs for those operations, and I'm aware of their faults, but that doesn't mean they're useless.

So yeah, I look forward to the AI bubble popping, but I'm still going to use LLMs for type of tasks they're actually suited for.

I don't think many people on Lemmy are under the the spell of AI hype, but plenty of people here are knowledgeable enough to know when, and when not, to leverage this useful, but dangerously overhyped and oversold, piece of technology.

Ask the model to confirm the answer and it will correct itself, at least when I've tried that.

I'm sure there's a mathematical or programmatic logic as to why, but seeing as I don't need LLM's to count letters or invent new types of pseudoscience, I'm not overly interested in it.

Regardless, I look forward to the bubble popping.

They serve an important societal and cultural function, you probably just don't understand.

Without the landed gentry it's estimated that within a single generation, Britain's long standing tradition of pederasty would be gone.

Won't somebody think of the little boys, and the aristocratic men who lust for them?

That's not what I'm saying.

Giving people more, or better, health insurance, or raising minimum wage, are policies that the donor class feels comes at their expense. Either monetarily, or by giving the peasants more financial freedom, which they view as weakening their strangle hold on society.

They may have moral objections to marijuana, but enough of them also want to get richer off of it, so it's not the same thing.
