Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I'm glad Balogun is playing for us and not England.

Tomorrow I will see if I can rent an apartment close to my work.

This event will decides if I keep working for more 6 months, or more 18.

Honestly Im fine either way, but Im not confident, as there is already another interested people who visited it before me.

Im at serious disadvantage looking for anything remotely good here, terrible offers, high demands

My rhinitis is once again reminding me why I want to retire early.

How is this related to retirement for someone obsessed with AI usage???

The problem with RA was while a lot of his stuff was real he always framed it as conspiracy theory and never used 5 words when 50 would do. Or even better 100!!

Pics or they didn't find him.

I spend a few days moving without internet, and miss the latest kerfuffle while it was hot. /sigh

That's a weak red card.

they finally invented trash that can take itself out. modern science is incredible


something about the youtube channel you linked tells me the "problem" you're alluding to has a very final "solution" as its natural endpoint. like, maybe those armed cops should round up all the "problems" in a certain place or two so they can work on "removing them". just to keep the "culture" "pure" you know


i think telling someone who criticizes you that you fantasize about them becoming homeless (without actually addressing any of their criticisms, btw, which amounted to 'hey maybe using slurs isn't cool; here's why') is probably wrongthink. weird ***bare minimum. in my day we didn't need a slur to describe that kinda guy, we just called them "dipshits"

I can already tell your hair color.

I linked the first video that came up on youtube, a simple search pulls up multiple videos

naturally strawberry blonde, everyone i've been to says they'd kill me if i dyed it and i don't take risks with people holding scissors near my face

hey you should see how the veiled villain voice worked for the last guy. wanna shunt me into an ideological box you can write off easily instead of engaging like him too? hyped for your well-sourced research and freeze peach monologue, super stuck the landing on the due diligence last time man 10/10

you must have something to hide

Do you live in a glass house or something?

Sigh...

I tried giving the japanese manga text for Claude (sonnet 5) to translate, and it said: "no no no. This is copyright material, no bueno".

I used to do that for others mangas with Opus, and it never complained.

I guess some of the constraints they added after the government problem.

Meh, ChatGPT gave me the answer Claude refused.

Probably with less quality though, but beggar cant be choosers.

Google also never complained with this

always a thrill to experience that slice of the community that ended their development in 2008 socially, rhetorically, and comedically. like cracking open a 4loko. maybe if we're lucky we can get some YTMND links going too


looking over the likely fear based on what i know (s127(i) of the 2003 communications act, invoked in the dubiously sourced earlier video; section 1 of the 1988 malicious communications act) i doubt anything he said in that thread would result in legal consequence, with s127(i) requiring that "The content of the message must be grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or of a menacing character." is it in poor taste? sure. off-topic? yep. an egregious display of bootlicking? very funny and also yes. however-- and i'm not a barrister here but --my read on contemporary UK culture says the average person there would not qualify it for prosecution. s1 of the '88 MCA is perhaps more relevant, specifying "it is an offence to send a malicious communication, such as a letter, electronic communication or article of any description, which is indecent or grossly offensive in nature and intends to cause distress or anxiety." to me, that's more of a maybe. i'm having a hard time finding specific examples of how these cases are tried but am super interested to see what sorts of communications are qualifying for this.

also of note, from 2020 to 2023 as a small sample, about 11,000 arrests on average annually for those two statutes resulted in around 1,000 sentences on average. so like. under 10% of arrests go anywhere, and the sources i'm digging into indicate that enormous gap is in no small part due to victims not wishing to take further action. to me that sounds like it's worth interrogating tbh. that's a lot of hours and pounds going into enforcement that could be a lot more accurate.

since then though there's also part 10 of the online safety act of 2023. s181 specifies some uglier content, but hinges it on (1(b)) conveying a threat of death or serious harm, and (2(d))'s definition of serious harm as "serious financial loss" could qualify... if it were a threat. which it wasn't. it was a really sad little daydream with no credibility from a guy who couldn't argue his way into a timeshare agreement.

so possibilities are that he's very unnecessarily jumpy, he made some more egregious posts or DMs elsewhere more worthy of scrubbing, the UK is actually a utopia where xenophobic manchildren get their doors kicked in by wokenstein's monster and dragged to the re-education centers screaming for saying the Brave Truth They DON'T Want You to Know About DEI!, or he just got embarrassed about that weak-*** grandstanding and wants it gone forever.

That wasn't even what I was saying.

That you can get reported and arrested for saying "the wrong thing" online is fact. None of the laws you cited are relevant, you get papped for "hate speech".

At the same time, wanting to remain anonymous on the Internet doesn't mean you have something to hide. It means you value your privacy. Like a house with walls and curtains instead of a full glass see through building.

If privacy didn't matter why does everyone care so much when it is violated. Are you aware the right the privacy is a fundamental human right regardless of any country laws?
