Regardless, if he had someone in his life to guide him in any way, I can bet that’s not the approach he’d be taking. This kid landed here by neglect, I guarantee it.

I kinda feel like this is a sincere attempt to improve his chances, and while yes I see the creepiness, I feel a bit sad for him also.
Willing to bet a makeover would help him more than anything he puts on a shirt, and no one in his life to tell him that.

I didn’t suggest there was, but I’ve rephrased my point about as many times as I’m willing to already.

While that fight should continue, society has more mundane tools to ostracize & make people’s lives hell.

I’m not a defender of the concept of Qualified Immunity, my point is that it’s not an absolute shield. Even if it successfully shielded them from 100% of civil rights cases (which it objectively has not) it provides no protection from criminal charges.
I won’t argue against the idea that it covers them far more than can be rationally defended, I’m just saying it’s not an absolute shield, and (in my opinion) there is every reason to imagine that the specific group we are discussing here will routinely violate the rights of the people they detain in such an egregious fashion as to satisfy even that narrow range of criteria in a higher than you might expect number of civil cases once this is all said and done.

I’d settle for fair prosecution using the body of US law that existed up to the inauguration of Trump47.

Qualified immunity specifically does not apply in cases where someone’s clearly established civil rights were violated, though the criteria for that is specific. Further, it applies only to civil cases, not criminal cases. It may certainly help them in some instances, but it’s not going to be a blanket shield.
1 Was a constitutional right violated?
2 Was the right clearly established at the time of the alleged violation?

Under this doctrine, government agents—including but not limited to police officers—can never be sued for violating someone’s civil rights, unless they violated “clearly established law.” While this is an amorphous, malleable standard, it generally requires civil rights plaintiffs to show not just a clear legal rule, but a prior case with functionally identical facts.
In other words, it is entirely possible—and quite common—for courts to hold that government agents did violate someone’s rights, but that the victim has no legal remedy, simply because that precise sort of misconduct had not occurred in past cases.

While yes, IANAL, I’m exceptionally doubtful that clearly established constitutional rights aren’t being violated by the behaviors of ICE under Trump, in many, many circumstances.

Just so we’re clear, this isn’t Truth Social or X. Folks only engage with the bigots and racists here for fun. When it’s done being fun you just get blocked. If that’s an entertaining way for you to conduct yourself online, go right ahead.

OK.
Have been told for about a decade now that we’re overreacting about Trump and he’s doing exactly what has been predicted, exactly what he’s said he’ll do.
Folks acting like this is all normal are as big a problem as the magas. It’s not. We’re 1930s Germany, LATE 1930s Germany.

Yeah, like most such memes I stole it from another post, and as I was looking at it after submitting it hit me that it had that look. Sincerely sorry.

Please apply that to this:
all I said was that I don’t know and neither do you.
Because there is not any evidence whatsoever that there is consciousness associated with LLMs. We have ample evidence that consciousness is associated with biological life.
I’m not even aware of a scholarly theory suggesting there might be consciousness. Now, I’m not an LLM expert, but neither are you (hurr durr) and so I think if you are going to suggest that maybe consciousness exists there, it should be based off something other than “hey man you never know” which is pretty much what it feels like.

Does anyone ever think the guys with anything at all like that on their clothing have forgotten how to be violent? Did we need a reminder? Or does this guy just want to be a typical posturing, aggressive, “alpha male” maga shitstain and be certain no one forgets it?

I don’t think they are stalking me - it usually looks like they just go down the thread and everyone who is +1’ing that day’s ranting or mockery of Trump/Musk gets a downvote.

Well it’s not a meme (and I’d be told that immediately) so wasn’t sure where to go with it. Fortunately the rules of shitpost are that anything goes.
