Crafting a legal system? I’m saying the opposite.

Can’t we just ban these fake accounts that spam the same kind of questions and are probably AI bots that never reply to comments?

Considering people innocent until proven guilty matters for the justice system. An individual’s opinion are not bound to this.
Rape in particular sees an extreme minority of perpetrators being condemned. If you decide to then believe the legal conclusion, rather than the words of the victims, you are siding with an unfair system that protects rapists.
But sure, with your logic you shouldn’t call a guy like Trump a rapist because you know, he hasn’t been proven guilty. Way to go.

It would be terrifying to be in a world where opinions need to be backed up by a court of law, and yet here we are.
If you don’t believe victims of rape, you’re on the side of the rapists, and I’ll tell you fuck you for that.
And the fact that you had to intervene to say “no but it’s good to defend rapists” says a lot about what your opinion on the matter is.

I didn’t draw any line. But if you think that physical violence, or an accident (even if caused by stupidity or whatever else) is as bad as an act that is designed to destroy someone completely, then you are part of the problem.
Are you one of those people that defend rapists by saying “innocent until proven guilty”?

The fact that you have no scale on how to rank those things is very concerning. Like, wow. You actually do not see the difference between an accident, violence, and rape? Just wow.

Is that another of your fake accounts? You need to stop.

Ah, okay. My bad then, I misunderstood the point.

You just posted shitty AI propaganda one day after creating your account and deleted them or had them removed, and now that’s what you post?
Yeah don’t bypass anything, they are justified.

But then the show is not educational? I am confused by how you can ask for an educational show, mention HIMYM about its morals as an example, and then say that it might be a parody.
So you want an educational show, or a show that pictures characters trying to be educational within the show, to other characters?
- Comment on Is there any such thing as "edutainment" shows for adults? 1 day ago:
The show is extremely immoral, no consistency (which is also necessary for morals to work in a show), and shows immoral characters positively (that’s why people love Barney for example even though the guy should at least be in jail).
So while The Good Place is a working recommendation that someone else made (that still has a LOT of flaws but at least try to add some concepts of morality, philosophy, etc), HIMYM does the opposite of that by refusing to ever think about moral issues of what is going on.
So my point is, if HIMYM seemed like a moral-teaching show to you, most shows will be, but that’s not positive.
If you want shows that try to talk about morals, you can look at the (old) star trek. I would say the least bad for that would be TNG and VOY, but they still need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Doctor Who also can work, if you want something a bit more on the horror/thriller/mystery side, but also needs a grain of salt and some critical thinking.
Science fiction in general tries to talk about philosophical subjects, while being entertaining, but a lot of what is seen as science fiction is just action movies in space.

Amazing.

How I Met Your Mother? Teaching morals? I think we didn’t watch the same show.
With this logic just watch any reality TV and it will look like a moral lesson too.

I don’t know why at this point not all lemmy platforms/apps don’t have user tagging available. Makes it much easier to spot this moron and their fake accounts.

- Comment on Do you think defense attorneys who defend cops who unjustly killed people are ‘good’ people? 1 week ago:
Too hard to determine.
But as long as lawyers decide which cases to take, I’ll struggle saying that a lawyer in a situation like that is a good person.
Not because they defend someone that is, in all likelihood, guilty, but because their reasons to do so are generally just money, or a sick enjoyment of “winning” despite their client being obviously guilty.
I had this lawyer present a class, where he made us watch a movie about a guy trapping people in traps that trigger based on the amount of people that watch it on a live stream.
He first started saying that it wasn’t the guy’s fault, but the viewers’ that know that connecting to the stream triggers the trap. I told him that if I put bear traps in front of his door, and he steps on them, he wouldn’t say “ah, my bad, I triggered the trap so it’s my fault”. He couldn’t counter that, so he just admitted that he would try to defend him anyway, to see if he could manage to flip things and make him be found innocent, and sort of “win” against the spirit of the law.
This guy was also saying that he likes to only pick the more dramatic cases, because they’re more interesting. It was clearly only a game for him.
Just assign cases randomly, no money or picking involved, and things would get better, and we wouldn’t have to wonder whether a lawyer is a piece of shit for defending someone or not.
- Comment on Why is AI dialogue so fucking bad? 1 week ago:
Because it’s not a dialogue, it’s a random word generator.
Why are you using AI if you have no idea what it is and what it does? Do you use a hammer to cook your pasta and then wonder why it’s not working?
- Comment on Why do people claim when they buy lets say an M16 Fully Automatic Assault Rifle it is for hunting or self protection? Could you just bow and arrow during a hunt for more of a challenge? 1 week ago:
Pretty sure it is the main reason. The ones that want to feed themselves through hunting could be planting crops instead. Or you know, use the money they sink in guns and ammo to buy food.
- Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws? 2 weeks ago:
If individuals are respected, then their minority opinions will be fine as long as they are not breaking the rule of not blocking other’s freedoms.
Billionaires are in many way hostile to society as a whole, and destroy the freedom of most people, by choice. Nothing forces them to do it, they aren’t born that way or whatever else, and they are breaking the rule of respecting other’s freedom; as such hating on billionaires is not hate speech, because they broke the rule first and are doing it willingly and with complete choice over the matter.
But you’re right, there shouldn’t be hate speech against billionaires, because they shouldn’t be allowed to exist.
- Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws? 2 weeks ago:
I said a democratic process, not a majority vote. To protect minorities you need laws that protect minorities and individual rights, freedom of speech is secondary, and actually often contradicting with the first part of my sentence.
It’s no mystery why the ones throwing “freedom of speech” all day long in all conversations are the nazis. If freedom of speech is king, then hate speech is tolerated. What needs to be of the utmost importance is the respect of individuals, and freedom of speech becomes a consequence of that.
- Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws? 2 weeks ago:
And that’s why you need a democratic process and not a dictatorship that decides unilaterally what is fine.
On the other hand, if you protect the nazis, you are one of them and you are letting them oppress whoever they want.
Personally, I know what side I prefer.
- Comment on Should hate speech be protected under freedom of speech laws? 2 weeks ago:
Individuals should not limit other’s freedom, and as such the law can restrict individual freedoms to that purpose.

- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Is your project worth destroying the world? Or is it that as a dad with a full time job, you consider that you’ll die before seeing the consequences that will torture and kill your kids, and so it’s not your concern?
Everywhere it’s just fuck AI because it’s the modern plague, so it’s a pretty good sign that you’re struggling to find people who like AI here.

If you feel so violently threatened by some comments, there’s definitely something wrong about your situation. Being bothered is one thing, having a mental breakdown about it is another.

Yeah I definitely don’t want to know more about your various opinions on sociopolitical subjects.
- Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number? 5 weeks ago:
For the nintendo switch for example, it makes it hackable or not.
For other consoles where it matters less, it can be to get information about hardware inside and such, as consoles can sometimes change internal components without changing the name of the console, and the serial number would be a way to determine it I guess.
- Comment on How is it shunning anti-trans sentiment become an intuitive reaction where socially it would have traditionally the opposite? Where people would shun trans behavior? 1 month ago:
Yeah that doesn’t feel at all like a loaded, hostile question.
