  • More, less, or the same as the immigrants?

    It’s unlikely the last immigrants body being found is international news.

    I’ll tell you my answer. Less. Far, far less. The immigrants weren’t in a pleasure cruise. Theirs was a journey with purpose.

    Also, fuck billionaires and their adult children who maintain contact with their billionaire parents. She made an adult decision to get on that boat. Fulton by association.

    I feel more for the employees but still less than the immigrants.


  • My understanding is that the judges are currently assigned by legislators who are voted in but could have their own agenda. This change will allow the people to directly elect the judges as well as their legislators.

    It’s not clear how the president is able to influence which judges are elected.

    If the country’s voting system doesn’t work then it’s already an issue since that’s the same mechanism that is choosing the legislature.

    My guess is that instead of paying off the already elected legislators to pick favorable judges, now the cost is an election which is more difficult to influence than that of someone who is already in power.

    There is a lot of misinformation on what Facebook is and isn’t doing. And a lot of it is pushing 10 years old.

    Facebook has long had features that detect exactly what you’re describing. They aren’t recording it, they are fingerprinting it. The target is any ads and music that is played but it could go beyond that.

    This is fundamentally no different than the way a device is passively listening for the “hey, assistant” phrase which just matches a fingerprint.

    Anyone who is simply looking for immediate data transfer when this occurs is a fool. There is absolutely no reason it cannot hold the list of known finger prints and add them to otherwise normal requests. The same for anyone looking for cpu spikes; these fingerprints are highly performant and it’s not recording, it’s matching so Facebook can deny all day that they don’t record your conversation and it isn’t a lie because it’s the wrong accusation.



  • Based on the dark humor groups on Facebook, I am quite confident this is what racists actually believe. Transphobes too.

    The poorly educated think dark humor is a joke an acceptable way to joke about ideas they hate.

    When a study linking dark humor to intelligence was released, the knuckle draggers clucked and strutted about, thinking their hatred indicated intelligence.
