  • Any judge that does this should be forcibly removed from any and all cases even remotely related to religion. Because clearly, they put their religious beliefs above the law.

    If their religion says what to do about any given thing and that thing comes up in their courtroom? BAM! Instant disqualification. Get a proper, impartial judge that won’t deny people legitimate government services because their religion dictates all their actions (aka theocracy).


  • Just be careful with your definition. Here’s some things that are “generative AI”:

    • Speech recognition
    • Zillions of AI tools in photo editors (e.g. “remove background” or tools that let you mask subjects). Yes, all generative AI.
    • All sorts of title/logo generators.
    • Upscaling tools.

    Think about the reason why you want to ban generative AI: Is it because it sucks? Or because you have something against training AI models with images posted publicly to the Internet? Is it the environmental impact of data centers?

    Be clear in your ban statement as to your reasoning so it doesn’t seem arbitrary and capricious.


  • Does she really not understand that this line of reasoning is the same that banned women (and minorities) from all sorts of places/activities in the past?

    “I went to the bank today and there was a woman there applying for a loan! She wasn’t even accompanied by a man!”

    If she likes that kind of discrimination, maybe JKR should just shut the fuck up and let white men handle everything. She just loves that kind of oppression, after all.


  • There’s an even more basic premise at work here that has nothing to do with LGBTQ matters: Entrusting your children with church people gets them abused. Not 100% of the time but it drastically increases the odds.

    Doesn’t matter what church, denomination, etc. It’s a universal rule that’s been around for thousands of years across many different religions. Allow people with no qualifications and designs for power to become authorities and you have a recipe for abuse.


  • Why would crickets end such an event? They’re just crickets… They’re only annoying late at night when you’re trying to sleep and there’s one in the house you can’t find. They’re not even that unsanitary.

    It sounds like a lame D&D cantrip or something… “Nobody cares, Leena! I cast crickets!”

    Then again, the event itself was vastly more lame and deserves crickets… And a pack of hungry anoles released at the same time 👍
