It doesn’t really seem that hard to test? Emotions–at least in their occurrence and strength–are detectable with non-invasive brain scans. We’ve been doing that for ages. Put some electrodes on a baby, let them see their mommy, watch the graph spike until they turn away.

The argument “how could we know that about babies?” was used, for decades, to justify doing surgery on babies without anesthesia. They can’t talk, so who knows if they’re feeling pain or not. Guess we can safely assume they don’t. Point being, we don’t have to have a conversation with them about it to know why they’re doing something.

And there’s no solidarity like class solidarity. Remember Ellen Degeneres hanging out with Bush? Bruce Wayne would’ve been in that skybox too.

The example they set was “throw bricks at cops”, and I agree, the world should listen.

Donald Trump has never served anything except himself and maybe a few tennis balls.

Why do I see so many of these accounts from reddthat?

God I fucking wish, do you know how many terrible politicians we’d be free of if it were?

There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?

he listens to his better angels,

One subtle diversion from this: I think the joke here is not that Everett opposes homelessness (and is generous regardless); the joke here is that he wants to encourage this fellow, and is actively fighting those who would discourage him.

It’s just a little different perspective on why this is funny.

“It got me” as in “I was surprised and laughed really hard”

She should be pissed in any scenario. You propose to your partner, you post a photo, and then you put ANYTHING other than I LOVE MY FIANCEE in your post? That sucks, dude.

I’m pretty anti-AI but even I’ll cop to this one. ChatGPT is good at figuring out what you’re trying to describe. Know you need a particular networking concept? Describe it a bit to ChatGPT and ask for some concepts that are similar, and the thing you’re looking for will probably be in the list.

Looking for a particular library that you assume must exist even though you’ve never seen it? ChatGPT can give you that.

You’re on your own after that, but it can actually save you a bit of research time.

The problem is this: it’s sure it has the answer 100% of the time, but about 30% of the time it gives you a list of nothing but wrong answers and you can go off in the wrong direction as a result.

Intent matters in criminal law and would be considered in future cases of this type. If someone is being arrested for violating the law, and the intent of the arrest is to prosecute legitimate criminal behavior, you’re good. If it can be shown that the intent was political retaliation, you’re in the shit.

I mean, no shit. Didn’t she win her first election with 89% of the vote or something

If you’re going to report on a Supreme Court’s failure to consider a case, I’m begging you, tell us in the headline what the appellate decision was. Don’t make us dig 10 paragraphs down to find out whether the case was decided for or against.

(Since I don’t want to do the exact same thing: The appellate decision held that the commission could continue to be elected by a statewide, rather than a region-by-region vote. This is equivalent to letting voters in Texas have a say in who California’s senators should be.)

So they overturned the students’ vote and probably pissed off every high school student, undermined everyone’s trust, so they could veto… Bulldogs? What was so bad about Bulldogs?
