I am against animal agriculture for the same reason I am against sexism, racism, ableism, classism and homophobia.
The circumstances of a creatures birth does not dictate what it is “meant for”, every one deserves to live happy, healthily and with dignity, but some simply want to live.
Star Trek TNG established that going warp speed causes permanent damage to sections of space, set a new speed limit, then immediately broke that rule next episode because it’s an emergency and never mentioned speed limits again.
Oh and the time they discovered all the generals had mind control aliens inside their heads, said it’s obviously a huge problem but then mentioned it again, again.

This isn’t the first time vigilante justice has been issued recently, with a group of women in nearby Michocoán carrying assault rifles to protect themselves from the Jalisco New Generation cartel.

I’ve never heard of Synthetik, so imagine my suprise when it’s already in my library. lol
What a wild concept mashup! Great recommendation.
I wish people would stop trying to fix me. I’ve tried sex. It doesn’t work for me. I’m much happier in a relationship where that isn’t a factor. But some people will always insist that I just need x y or z. Over the years I’ve grown disdainful of Mazlowes Heirachry of Needs since sex is listed as a need, so CLEARLY I need it, gets (incorrectly) cited to me all the time.
I had not heard that but… here we are.
This should be a disqualification for being taken serious in any regard yet it’s just par for the course on fox and in the trump administration.
Yes.
That’s literally gender affirming.
His statement does not say when exactly the damage occurred or whether it was a suspected case of vandalism and does not identify anyone who might have been involved.
If they had details, they would be talking about it. Just another obvious lie to keep the president from slashing their budget even further.
Rockstar fired 31 employees for forming a union. If you care about workers rights, now is the time to put your money where your mouth is.

Jumping off you for more information.
Intersex people were historically called the scientific, biologically inaccurate, definitionly wrong term “Hermaphrodite”. Which refers to creatures such as snails that can take either role in reproduction. Humans can not do that in any capicity, intersex individuals have sex characteristics belonging to both male and females, NOT the willing ability to change their genitals in to different configurations. No human anywhere is hermaphroditic. They are referred to as intersex because they are born with sex traits that do not neatly fit in to either sex category. The human body is complicated.
Which from an etymology stand point is similar to the term “transexual” as in someone who was categorized into one of those two options but have transitioned their physical sex characteristics via medication or surgery. As opposed to “transgender” which is clothing, hair style and social roles. Sex is what is in your pants, gender is what type of pants you wear.
But I want to make clear that I’m only explaining terminology, transexual and transgender are the same community facing the same struggles so the umbrella term “trans” applies to both. Some intersex people consider themselves trans, others do not and both answers are correct. Having said all that, the idea that any of these terms inherently makes someone dangerous to children or unemployable is just rank bigotry.
Ocamm’s razor says easily prouded AI slop makes more sense.
Just context for people since I had to look it up myself.
Neither statement actually says Nazi or Faccism is wrong. Literally the one thing that would help them right now, and twice they failed to do it. The GoG forums are full of folks saying this has been a known problem for years that hate speech was not being moderated.
Sooooo, yeah. It’s pretty disappointing. Not sending it to Germany (where it is illegal and punishable) but then okaying its use for rest of the world is a WILD explanation. Y’all get how that is worse than if it was some “some rogue intern” being a dipshut, but speaks to a company side problem.
I’m sure af not going to buy GoG anymore.

My original comment was meant as a somewhat dark joke (“no one would want to see that anyway” being the subtext)
Oh good, now you’re taking it serious. It was clear that you thought you were being funny since you’re a man why would anyone want to see that anyways? Because you felt like this could never happen to you, no one would ever want to do this so “lol I consent”. You’ve put so little thought in the implications of this technology that it’s still funny. You didn’t want this to be a debate, but no one else wanted that either. No one even thought to make jokes. Everyone who down voted you wanted you to read the fucking room and realize this isn’t the time to be crass.
Second, I don’t think framing someone for sexual abuse of a minor is in the same category as fake nudes. No one is going to prison (under current laws) for possessing nude pictures as long as both parties are in the same age cohort from a legal perspective. That’s a pretty significant distinction in my opinion.
These are all things that have already happened.

And these are from cases where victims were able to successfully prove to law enforcement that the videos were fake. We don’t know how many people were targeted by deep fakes and no one ever believed them. How many men and women were fired because management had to err on the side of caution? How many relationships destroyed?
And even if you WERE right that my example is different, why does that give you the right to mock the harm inflicted upon women and girls who are more regularly the primary target of such harassment?
Third, I don’t believe I said or implied that fake images cannot cause harm. I said on more than one occasion that you can only control your reaction to them.
Don’t downplay. You literally said it would only be annoying to explain something is fake.
The fact that they were created and distributed without your consent sucks, but what are you going to do about that after the fact? I’m a very utilitarian person and I see no utility in feeling sorry for myself so that’s not a behavior I generally engage in. Other people probably feel differently about that and that’s fine. I might seem cold to them and they might seem whiny to me. Different strokes.
Whiny? That’s not utilitarianism, it’s willful cruelty. Whether or not you feel like a victim is immaterial to the real world effects that such media would have on your life. If someone did all the things I previously listed and you lost your job/wife/friends, how would you feel if someone came by to say stop acting like a victim and you" seem whiny"?
I’m honestly shocked that even now, even after you stopped making jokes, you would still use that word.
don’t know that I think deep fakes are any more or less damaging than the other forms of that behavior that have historically been common.
A difference of scale is a difference of kind. Saying “x did y” is one thing, children believe these things and that’s why bullying is so pervaisive in schools. But spending an afternoon making a series of of x literally doing y that are so realistic even skeptical adults have trouble differentiate between reality is something else entirely. There are literally drag and drop apps for this, even the tech illiterate can start this harassment easily. How many girls do you think now have a reputation for being a “slut” despite being virgins? These are long standing problems of sexism, but deep fake is a radical escalation.
Sir, based off your pic, you are somewhere in your 40s? That’s pretty old to be acting this willfully obtuse. I and others linked you to stories of schools being attacked by this behavior, but you doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on big laughs. Just because you feel immune to that sort of sexual abuse (incorrectly), doesn’t give you the right to come have a laugh at the expense of victims.
You acted exceptionally cruel in this thread. It’s something you should think on moving forward. Most people don’t enjoy making jokes at the expense of the abused. No one but you decided to make jokes here.
I don’t see the point in feeling anything more than annoyed at having to explain that the pictures are fake
I want you to imagine that I edited this image so it appeared to show you sexually abusing children. And later this week you get called in to HR to say you’re being let go. Would they belive you when you said it was fake?
Would your wife? Would your parents? Do your parents even understand what deep fake is? Would they wonder if this was an elaborate excuse?
Would your kids understand? Would your kids friends? Would their friends parents believe you? What if the way you found out they believed it was real was when your kids friends are no longer allowed to sleep over Would those parents even take your call so you can explain it was fake?
Would your kids teachers?
Would your own friends believe you? Would your friends let you be around their kids? How much would they be willing to risk that you’re “probably” telling the truth and that it’s “probably” fake? I could even tailor the image to you abusing your friends children. Thosse friends wouldn’t check in with you first, they’d have a terrible conversation with their own kids.
Would your wife keep believing you when your family is socially ostracized? Do you think you would only ever have 1 conversation about it? Would you still want me to send you a “good one”? What if I kept making burner accounts and never stopped sending good ones to your friends, family and coworkers?
You can say I personally am an asshole, and I would be, but that doesn’t change the harm a deranged person could do with zero expertise, zero access to you IRL and take all of 30 seconds of effort to create the image. Starting a whisper rumor about you would take substantially more effort and access.
