That's because those who followed him all vote by emotion and social pressure. They don't know how to stop, think, and reason for themselves; but they definitely know that trans kids are the reason why the stability of their social security is always in question.

I think equity would be better in all circumstances. Necessities such as food, water, housing, medical needs, and transportation all vary from person to person.

As far as i understand it, equality is a quick and dirty average, but equity addresses individual cases. Equality would be like giving all people the same food rations but equity would be able to factor in dietary restrictions as well as nutrition for different lifestyles.

Kids do dumb things and hopefully learn from their mistakes but I dont think actively planning to shoot up a school is one of those things you can argue as innocuous.

The article doesn't say whether he originally had these thoughts or if it was pressed onto him by his mother. It definitely sounds like he was at the very least encouraged to do extreme violence by his mother and he said himself that he looked up to other shooters and thought he would be famous.

The kid needs some mental health counseling at the very least in my opinion.

Agreed. We really should have better mental rehabilitative services, especially for youth but who am I kidding with how this country is going.

The article said that the kid had stuff with Nazi and white supremacy symbols and words on it. I'm pretty sure he's not innocent in any of this.

I'm thinking it's a BMS limitation, where it can only balance x number of cells safely/reliably. Either that, or the way the modules stack might get too physically unstable.

Or it could just be arbitrary limitations; greed.

Don't give them ideas!

Honestly, ever since this execution, I've been against any death penalty. There have been way too many innocent people killed from the death penalty.

Not to mention the numerous issues and the moral quandry of legal murder as a state sanctioned form of punishment.

At the end of the day, what's the ultimate goal of murdering someone on death row? An example for deterrence? Apparently it's not effective any more than a life sentence and you don't have the risk of killing someone who was innocent.

You're right, they aren't perfect but they are better than meat in most cases. If a plants based meat alternative is what it takes for someone to reduce or stop their meat intake then that's a moral improvement in my book.

Unfortunately you should secure your home network with a managed firewall to be sure that any IOT devices don't phone home. It sucks but that's the only way I would recommend using a device you don't fully trust.

The article isn't about the new animation but about how the old clip has resurfaced and is retreading its origin and how it relates to recent events.

Now coming back to Miyazaki’s thoughts on AI, a widely shared video from 2016 shows the legendary animator reacting with disgust to an AI-generated animation demo.

The animation in the clip reminded him about his friend's disability and how the creators of the animation didn't regard ableism while making it. Later in the clip, one of the creators had expressed that they would like to create a machine that could "draw pictures as humans do" and Miyazaki was depicted as displeased after this statement.

The article doesn't go into if there were any comments from Miyazaki on the Ghibli-style image.

That's because they've never been held accountable by anyone but other rich people. It really seems like they're trying to form a caste system so only those in their cabal are the ruling class.

 

As soon as I saw this, I thought of how homemade radiative cooling tech like this could be used in a solarpunk society.

What do you think?
