I can kinda get it not being “murderous”. When civilians are killed while in the middle of a war, it’s not considered murder, it’s considered a war crime. It’s a technicality, but that’s how words work.
But I’m not sure how you can say it isn’t brutal. Of course it’s brutal.
The rules that weren’t listed anywhere? The rules that even experts who were consulted were unaware of? The rules that there wasn’t even a place on the form to be able to follow?
You mean those rules?
She did follow the rules on the APPLICATION, because this requirement wasn’t actually listed on the APPLICATION, nor was there even a place on the APPLICATION to list it. This is an archaic law that was not common knowledge that was dug up after the fact specifically to bar her from running.
Imagine filing your taxes, only to have them rejected because you never told the IRS your favorite type of soup.
Except there’s no place on candidate forms to put it, it’s not written on any of the lists of candidates requirements, and has never been recently enforced. She wasn’t hiding her name, she literally didn’t know she needed to because it wasn’t listed anywhere. It’s like if you ran for office but got rejected at the last minute because you didn’t disclose all your addresses from the last 15 years, despite there not being an official place to actually do that.
90s
teenagers
Yea, thats Gen X. Majority of millennials weren’t teens in the 90’s
That’s a pretty unfeasible request. Sure, maybe big resalers might keep something like that, but the average consumer? I keep my receipts for maybe a year on big purchases unless there’s something like a warranty I need it for. And I get the feeling that’s already more than most folks would do.
If you are insisting on a first purchase receipt before buying something used, you are essentially saying you’ll almost never buy something used. The odds someone would even still have it, let alone go through the hassle of providing it to you, are extremely low. Why would they do that when they could just sell to a less difficult customer who doesn’t care?
Doesn’t help when companies keep releasing drugs that do practically nothing. See: Phenylephrine in cough medicine, all Alzheimer’s drugs released before 2022, several different anti-depressants.
Every artist uses copyrighted images to learn how to create their own work. Just because AI does it better and faster doesn’t make that any different.
a celebrity famous for his philanthropy
I mean, that’s kinda selling Aston Kutcher short. It also downplays his hypocrisy in this matter.
Aston Kutcher quit acting to start an organization that fights human trafficking. That’s a bit more than just a philanthropic celebrity. Which is why his defense of Danny is a big slap in the face. It sort of goes against everything he claims to stand and work for. Yea, it wasn’t technically human trafficking, but rape is so adjacent to that it’s hard to not see the hypocrisy.
I see literally zero problems here. Did they have a contract with an artist? They didn’t? Well then it sounds like they have no obligation to use a real artist.
AI art is here to stay, and companies will be using it heavily. It’s ignorant to think they would choose otherwise. Why pay an artist to make an image you may not even like over the course of a few days when you could get hundreds of images to choose from in a few seconds using AI? It’s 1000 times easier and more convenient.
AND WELCOMED TO THE JAM!
Sure that’s 1. And what about all the other companies out there? Other companies doing the same thing as Lush is what the subject was in the comment you childishly replied to. Of course, you seem like a person who likes living in the bottom quartile of things, so I wouldn’t expect reading comprehension to be a big strength of yours.
See that’s the difference though. A genocide isn’t a complete disregard for civilian life. Genocide pretty specifically regards civilian life because the civilians themselves are the targets. Callous indifference isn’t the same a genocide. You can say I’m being pedantic, but words matter. Calling it genocide when it doesn’t fit the definition not only cheapens the word, it also cheapens your message.
When there is a deliberate targeting of Palestinian civilians. Not just attacks done with little care for civilian casualties, but attacks where the civilian casualties are the entire point. We aren’t there yet, despite what armchair philosophers will say on this site. Israel is being reckless, callous, and is certainly commiting war crimes, but unless the Palestinians are being intentionally targeted for the sheer goal of killing as many Palestinians as possible, it doesnt fall into the definition of a genocide.
It’s more a pretty solid prediction that you’re not going to actually boycott them because you are ignorant to the interconnectivity of modern mega corporations. Unless you are fully prepared to live off the grid, the idea of a boycott isn’t just unfeasible, it fully reveals your own immaturity for thinking that it could be.
I wish there was an option to just disable all achievements
Piracy
Big “Russians are rising up against Putin!” Energy
Alfalfa Meal and Coffee Grounds - can only be used in moderation due to their high nitrogen content which would fuck up waterways way more than salt.
Beet Juice - not nearly as effective as salt
Grape Skin - still in testing, no where near close to market, unknown ecological impacts
Brine - has the same problem as salt because that’s essentially what it is
Manual removal - are you fucking kidding me?
Salt is the best we have, and the alternatives aren’t just less economical, they’re also just plain unfeasible.
