  • I had a tower that generated so much heat that during a particularly hot summer, I had to stop using it around 1-2pm every day. The room just got too hot to occupy. I'm a computer nerd, so this was particularly heinous for me.

  • It's in the post, but I'm gonna call it out again:

    A lawsuit ultimately led to BPD settling with Cox for $900,000 in damages, as well as $400,000 in attorneys' fees.[3] No officer admitted to the beating. Following the battle in court, three of the officers were eventually fired, but one, Dave Williams, successfully sued for unjust termination and was returned to the service in 2006. Williams was again fired for brutality in 2009, and again reinstated. As of 2023, Williams is assigned to domestic violence cases.

    What the mother fucking fuck.

  • There are adults with bodies that resemble underage people that could be used to train models. Kitty Yung has a body that would qualify. You don't necessarily need to use illegal material to train to get illegal output.

  • Yeah, I agree, we shouldn’t ruin the boys life, we should ruins his whole family to many times the extent something like this ruins a teen girl’s life.

    You're a fucking asshole. This isn't like prosecuting parents who let a school shooter have access to guns. The interenet is everywhere. Parents are responsible for bringing up their children to be socially responsible. A thirteen year old kid is anything but responsible (I mean their mentality / maturity, I'm not giving them a pass).

    Go hang out with conservatives who want more policing. Over here, we'll talk about social programs you fucking prick.

    Fuck you, dumbass. I'm sorry that you're fucked, but you also chose it so enjoy.

  • Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up

    Jump

  • No kids. That's why I say others should write the punishments. A written apology wasn't meant as the only punishment. It was in addition to community service and other stipulations.

  • What are interesting and entertaining podcasts to listen to? [English, French, Italian]

    Jump

  • Ha! Me too!

    Bonus: I recently learned that another podcast that I listen too has his wife as a contributer. I won't name it. It was just a fun reveal.

  • Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up

    Jump

  • Yes, absolutely. But with recognition that a thirteen year old kid isn't a predator but a horny little kid. I'll let others determine what that punishment is, but I don't believe it's prison. Community service maybe. Written apology. Stuff like that. Second offense, ok, we're ratcheting up the punishment, but still not adult prison.

    Jump

  • I made a list for a friend very recently.

    404 Media is really good independent journalism. I’m subscribed to their Patreon.

    Darknet Diaries is good computer security and privacy focused.

    You’re Wrong About focuses on cultural issues.

    Noble Blood focuses on historical events through the lenses of nobility (I’m a history nerd).

    Grumpy Old Geeks focuses on tech, books, television, etc. the one positive thing in my life that came from Aaron.

    Better Offline is Ed Zitron’s excellent newsletters in audio format talking about the tech industry. He’s pretty pissed off about a lot of things and articulates why effectively.

    Behind the Bastards is audio essays about terrible people both current and historical.

    Last Podcast on the Left (horror movie reference, not political) does true crime-ish stuff, but for example the assassinations of JFK and Lincoln, too.

    Strong Songs dissects pop songs with the artists. Depends on if you care about the song for the episode.

    Stuff the British Stole is a seasonal show that deep-dives stolen museum items and their legacy.

    Maintenance Phase takes on cultural issues like diet fads and policy decisions.

    Alphabet Boys looks at cases with government agencies.

    Chapo Traphouse is Leftist policy-driven and usually pretty funny.

    QAA Podcast originally focused on people involved in the Qanon movement, but broadened to include other cultural issues. One of the funnier shows that I listen to.

    American Hysteria focuses on cultural topics like the Satanic Panic or the development of Halloween.

    Boonta Vista is a news-based comedy podcast out of Australia that is pretty funny.

    Bad Blood is a short investigative journalism show about HIV-contaminated blood exported from USA for blood transfers.

    Who the Hell is Hamish is a short investigative journalism show about a conman.

    S-Town is a short investigative journalism show about corruption in a southern small town and a genius redneck.

    Bed of Lies does seasonal short investigative journalism show about multiple topics.

    In the Dark is a seasonal investigative journalism show about multiple topics.

    Serial is a seasonal investigative journalism show about government and such. The season on USA crime was mind-blowingly good. They’re very prestige.

    The Story Behind the Song is similar to Strong Songs.

    What Went Wrong is an excellent behind the scenes film examiner.

    The Women’s War is a short investigative journalism show about women in terrorist-adjacent Middle East. Very good. Behind the Bastards-adjacent.

    Your Favorite Band Sucks. Two guys who know a lot about music and the schtick is that everyone sucks, don’t take them seriously. Start by listening to an ep of a band you don’t care about, not someone you really like.

    The Fall of Civilizations podcast deep-dives ancient civilizations. Phenomenal.

    99% Invisible looks at the built world. It’s produced in Oakland. The episode on progress bars in software was surprisingly interesting.

    A Tradition of Violence was a short investigative journalism show about sheriff gangs. Holy crap, it was good.

    Bechdel Cast reviews movies from a female perspective.

    Behind the Police is another Behind the Bastards-adjacent short run.

    History of Rome is a long series of short episodes from a historian. It’s very amateur at the beginning.

    Kids of Rutherford County is a short investigative journalism show about state corruption and mismanagement.

    Nice White Parents is a short investigative journalism show about policy and education. Very good.

    According to Need is a short investigative journalism show about homelessness I. The Bay Area. Very good. 99% Invisible-adjacent.

    Order 9066 is a short investigative journalism show about Japanese internment during WW2.

    Sad Oligarch is a short investigative journalism show about Russian oligarchs dying mysteriously over the last few years. Good stuff.

    Song Exploder is similar to the other song shows.

    The Line is a short investigative journalism show about murder by soldiers in Afghanistan.

    The Coldest Case in Laramie is a short investigative journalism show about an unsolved murder. Serial-adjacent.

    Blowback looks at USA global policy failures by season.

    Bed of Lies focuses on British government murder and coverup. Bad Blood-adjacent.

    1619 is a short investigative journalism show about slavery in the USA.

    Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History is one I’ve been meaning to get to for a long time, but I already had to reduce how much time I listen to podcasts as it is. People rave about it.

  • For example, Louisiana mandates a minimum five-year jail sentence no matter the age of the perpetrator.

    That's just on it's face stupid. A thirteen year old boy is absolutely gonna wanna see girls in his age group naked. That's not pedophilia. It's wanting to see the girls he fantasizes about at school every day. Source: I was a thirteen year old boy.

    It shouldn't be treated the same as when an adult man generates it; there should be nuance. I'm not saying it's ok for a thirteen year old to generate said content: I'm saying tailor the punishment to fit the reality of the differences in motivations. Leave it to Louisiana to once again use a cudgel rather than sense.

    I'm so glad I went through puberty at a time when this kind of shit wasn't available. The thirteen year old version of me would absolutely have got myself in a lot of trouble. And depending on what state I was in, seventeen year old me could have ended listed as a sex predetor for sending dick pics to my gf cause I produced child pornography. God, some states have stupid laws.
