Well we still can if we are collectively smart enough that being fascist is worse than being old.
I put the odds at a coinflip.
Agree with everything except why Biden won’t do it–its a paradox of trying to maintain our status quo democracy with the traditional tools of our status quo democracy.
I recognize that its a horrible asymmetry of power that they will have presidents that abuse power while dems will try to respect traditional lines of power…but the populace and parties themselves are also a correlary assymetry—cult 45 will cheerlead any horrible thing their guy does (or pretend it isn’t real, or isn’t really that bad, whatever the moment requires to avoid cognitive dissonance), but it Joe abused power, both Republicans and Democrats in power and as citizens across the nation would cry out for accountability.
It’s a right clusterfuck, that is for sure.
To this point, the military has remained an independent institution that has followed rule of law–the Iraq War, however awful, was legally authorized (note: I am not saying that soldiers haven’t done illegal things, but the military writ large has been beyond the reach of the president to be wielded like a weapon to do explicitly illegal things).
Trump mused bombing antiquities in his presidency, and the military swiftly responded that they are bound not to follow illegal orders.
My fear now is that if military leadership falls into the wrong hands, immunity can be used to argue that the conduct is no longer considered illegal, or the line becomes so blurred that it ceases to functionally exist.
If that happened under a president like Trump, God help us, every horrible nightmare outcome could be on the table.
Well not anymore since that song came out. =P
An even better idea is just terraforming parts of earth to be habitable again if climate change gets out of control. It’s orders of magnitude more logistically plausible than moon or Mars colonies imo.
Buddy, look up some facts on the distance to and conditions of Mars. Then look up how far a real human being has actually gone in space.
Mars colonies are a stupid fucking idea that scientifically literate people who understand basic facts about Mars know wont ever happen. Makes it that much more painful how easily Americans buy into that as a “plan” that a company is realistically pursuing.
Lol, so Telsa is fucked?
If everyone you go, everyone you know thinks AI generated child sex stuff is normal, well buddy, I think I’ve got some news for you.
“Sorry about your dead husband, trains weren’t in the training data. Our bad. Anyway, his loss is not in vain, as now that our engineers are aware that trains can be a potential driving hazard, we are going to fix this soon in a future software update.”
Wanted to upvote then saw 666 upvotes and had to leave it alone.
No it’s immoral because they are sexual gratifying themselves to pictures that look like children. Sexually desiring children or wanting to see them abused is immoral, full stop.
LOL, that’s a lot of bullshit misdirection to defend AI child porn. Christ, can there be one social media like platform that just has normal fucking people.
Yikes at the responses ITT. This shit should definitely be illegal, and the people that want it probably want to abuse real children too. All of you parsing arguments to make goddamn representations of sexual child abuse legal should take a long hard look in the mirror and consider whether or not you yourself need therapy.
This is massively news-worthy…news media is supposed to relay relevant facts about the situation, like this one, not try to entertain people by pivoting to new forms of content constantly.
Here, allow me elucidate a specific piece of information for you.
Some people are really confused that we aren’t all perpetually online.
Awww! Well Boo Fucking Hoo for you.
