PICARD: What I didn't put in the report was that at the end he gave me a choice between a life of comfort or more torture. All I had to do was to say that I could see five lights, when in fact, there were only four.
TROI: You didn't say it?
PICARD: No, no, but I was going to. I would have told him anything. Anything at all. But more than that, I believed that I could see five lights.

Actually, it's terrorism.

FTOs are foreign organizations that the Bureau of Counterterrorism in the US state department designates as terrorist entities under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Once such a designation is made, it becomes unlawful for a US person to knowingly provide that group with “material support or resources”. That phrase is defined broadly in the statute as “any property, tangible or intangible, or service”, which can include “expert advice or assistance”. An aggressive interpretation of “service” and “assistance” may easily break down what were seemingly secure boundaries of free speech.

Protected speech is often used to show predisposition, motive or intent in material support prosecutions. Such prosecutions have led to serious federal anti-terrorism convictions that result in lengthy sentences. Typically, sentencing guidelines call for 20 years to life in prison. Actual sentences in double-digit years are not uncommon

I used an old school audio only baby monitor in my daughters nursery. I never needed a live video feed. The baby crying was more than enough reason to go check on her.

All good points man.

Have you ever noticed that most of the best flavors are bean?

Now that doge will handle elections and voter registrations. I wonder if all states will be required to have one. Or if that will only be handled by the federal doge.

Sorry I fucked up the formatting, couldn't figure out the bigger bullet points.

I think it's fine. All formatting on Lemmy is handled by markdown. In markdown, you can't change the size if the bullets, but you can indent listed items (ordered/numbered or unordered/bulleted) by just indenting the bullet with 2 spaces (although 4 spaces is safest when formating markdown. I think the only item you cab change your size of is headlines.

Btw, thanks for the updated list.

Not when the geo group can earn a profit off of a detainee. Especially if they get to make an example out of someone who was both here legally and was exercising freedom of speech as is protected by the 1st Amendment.

This means we no longer have constitutional rights.

Excuse me if I don't want to let corporations redefine my language.

I think there can be AI, but this is not it. It's one of the reasons I don't want to call generative or predictive models AI.

I'd like to think that words have meaning. They should not be used to pump up stock prices. And certain words, like intelligence, deserve respect.
