Man, he's a Dr already?

Have to wonder how many of these replies are AI art.

I've been standing against it for 25 years.

Yeah well I got the call an hour ago and it is cancer and it is terminal, so any fucks I have to give about your or anybody else's opinion just jumped the shark.
comment in response to post
Already got it and it's not good. I don't ever delete tweets / skeets but in this case I'm going to because I can't let that be a part of my digital legacy knowing that I'll be dead before it ages enough to not matter.

For the record, I will always support the producers when they stand up to the profit takers, so I do support the SAG strike, and Fran Drescher is a queen.
comment in response to post
So maybe the content moderators here should think about that, and whether or not it's a good or a bad thing that I can easilly rile up the ENTIRE user base here, but be ignored on the bird app. I'm not sure myself.
comment in response to post
but here I got the eyeballs and responses of not only thousandds of "skeeters" (jeebus I hate that word), but celebrities and people who wouldn't otherwise give me the time of day over there. More proof:

I was interested in the difference between the two apps when it comes to the ability to drive engagement by trolling. As proof I cross posted a similar rant on twitter and got ZERO response:

And Fran is a queen. My apologies to her for using her for my little experiment. I'm also about to find out in t-minus 4 hours if I have terminal cancer or not so my judgement may not be the best at the moment.

I clearly don't hold those views, but I wanted to see what would happen, and my hunch was right. I got slammed, as I should have, but I think that's a good thing. It gives me more faith in the platform. For the record, any time laborers stand up to the profit takers, I'm on board.

about* not "out"
comment in response to post
is she not just fighting for her right to be out of work as she has been for 30 years now? She's not a "working" actress. She's a mouth piece. I get how horrible the statement out smoking out the actors was from the otherside but jeebus, you could put someone up there that better represents actors.

When you want a business that discriminates, but are too cheap to start an actual business.

Can you believe a bunch of Karen's sued the county to have that sea lion harbor converted to a swimming area for thier kids? They wanted to kill all the Sea Doggos and net it off. This was probably 18 years ago ish.

Talk about string theory, that'll do it.

"taking to the streets" is not criminal.
comment in response to post
I don't know, I think enough people have hadd enough and the right has become so radicalizedd that it might become more doable in the not too distant future. We all know it can't keep going the way it is.

Sounds like a bad decision that needs to be overturned by a better argument to me.
comment in response to post
Well based on this and a dozen other issues that are destroying our democracy from with in, festering because of an outdated constitution, I think it may be time to update that living, breathing document for starters. That is certainly legal and doable. Not easy, but possible.
comment in response to post
Again, not a lawyer, but just trying to use common sense (and common decency here), how is the criminal action not "imminent" if it immediately follows from the reading of said speech? Would they have to say, "deny your child needed healthcare on 7/6/23 for it to apply? Make that make sense to me.
comment in response to post
So imminance requires a specific date and time? That is a question, not a challenge. If so that's fucking stupid and we need better laws.
comment in response to post
Criminal negligence by denying a child needed, likely life saving health care.
comment in response to post
And also, is it not "lawless" to deny a child needed healthcare? Haven't courts decided that qualifies as negligence and is therefor criminal? I'm not jaqing off here. I'm saying, someone should test these ideas in court. Old precedent can be overturned and new precedent set.

So it's not likely that some trans kid is going to get beaten or worse killed after their transphobic parents read that book? Seems pretty fucking likely to me.
comment in response to post
Haven't read the book, just read the summary on Amazon. A lot of people in these replies have said the book openly promotes genocide. Seems to me that's incitement, and that it's possibly imminent, if a parent reads that book today, and tomorrow commits violence against their child as a result.
comment in response to post
I'm no lawyer, but even I know that not all speech is protected under 1a. Incitement to violence for instance, isn't. I can't believe that u, as a lawyer, have not stopped consider that the speech in question here may be exactly that, and therefor is not protected, and does not require your defense?
