Yeah, but that's not the point, cringe pirate roberts didn't engage in those, he was just a sucker, who took over the platform caught heat and got roasted - and he just ran a platform. That's like jailing the ebay founders for whatever uncountable illlegal firearm sales or whatever happened on there or like suing Craigslist for soliciting prostitutes.

And even then. Two life sentences plus 40 was obscene. There are stone cold killers given less.

Would you mind if I picked your brain for a bit, about self-professed "Leftists" who are actually white supremacist Neo Nazi-accelerationists? (since you seem knowledgeable about the topic)

The "tactics" used by the Leftists are similar to Atomwaffen/O9A Accelerationists because the idea is to create a constant cycle of political radicalization. The end result is, on the surface, the same as Right-Wing Accelerationists see the "victory state" as the Fourth Reich and Left-Wing Accelerationists as "Gay Space Communist Utopia." But I don't really know of any real overlapping. O9A went hard on the Right Wing sphere in the 2010s, and have stayed in and around that area since. Mostly you see the legacy of "SSmoKKKe metHH" with the child abuse cordnigger extortionist groups.

I think Ellis is just a Gay Space Communism accelerationism-lite leftist but I have to mention that there's also the O9A phenomenon of "Insight Roles" which is taking on a role (Islamist for example, in the case of O9A guy David Myatt) to gain insight and infiltrate so it's not out of the question that there are some right wing accelerationists LARPing as leftists and commie accelerationists so as to accelerate things further.

This is a great video on how a seller on Silk Road scammed Ross by staging an execution:

The feds also basically did the same thing to him, staged a fake hit on one of his moderators and then charged him for murder for it. I have mixed feelings of his release as a result: I don't think that the government should be able to entrap you that way (I know that's not the legal definition of entrapment, fuck off), but for all intents and purposes Ross DID think that he was having multiple people killed off to in order to protect his website.

I think it's for the best that he's freed, he seems to have realized he fucked up, but also has gone on to do a lot of teaching in prison. I think that he'll go on to do good work. Who knows though, maybe an unconditional pardon changes a man further. Time will tell.

American Kingpin is also a pretty good book if you watch the above video and want more. Funnily enough the situation in that video is never touched upon even though it's utterly fascinating.

If you want to be pedantic about it, it specifically reduces human error by analyzing a far greater amount of data than a human ever could. AI should never replace human input, but it is still a potentially powerful and useful tool.

"Potentially" is the key word here. It fucks up pretty badly as it is used now i.e. for evaluation transcription. E.g. inventing conversations that get violent, adding random events for no reason, deleting actual statements, and even getting racist lol. Of course it has the potential to be better, but it isn't, and hospitals that are using it are using it completely out of scope as free transcription. The worst part of the transcription AI use is that it deletes the original evaluation record "for privacy reasons" so the only record left is the "hallucinating" AI record. Imagine going for a consult/eval and you get on record as threatening mass violence instead of your current pain management. Because that is what is currently happening in reality, no matter what potential it has.

Sex chromosomes are usually determined at conception, yes. However, there are a ton of sex chromosome disorders. Some people are born with XYY (Jacobs syndrome), XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), XXYY syndrome, Turner syndrome (only one X chromosome), Swyer syndrome (only one Y chromosome); there's really no limit on the potential number of sex chromosome disorders. They are rare and most people are XX or XY, but it can get very fucky.

The presence or absence of the Y chromosome (specifically the SRY gene on said chromosome) is what determines sex in humans, regardless of how many Xs or Ys a person has. These disorders can cause all kinds of other issues, but still follow this rule.

This mornings agenda will be some unadulterated heresy, courtesy of the Episcopal Church of America.


National Prayer Service, interfaith, where they will let Jews, Muslims and whoever offer prayers to their heathen gods before the Altar. I can understand the "need" for an interfaith prayer service, but holding it in a Church, no less the National Cathedral is pretty annoying. That's the Episcopalians for you though. Sucks that they have so much institutional power with the political elite since they used to be the official State religion prior to the 1st Amendment.

I don't know if any of you are Episcopalian, and if so I'm sorry for how hard this is to hear but:

your religion is an apostate heresy and you will go to hell for following it.

These people are literal shills sponsored by foreign actors... however they are correct, Zion Don is a deradicalization agent that will, for example, curtail the illegal migration from Mexico but wont do anything about legal migration of Indians, or do anything about all the non-white lower races that already populate the US. And of course he'd be extremely pro-zionist

He didn’t do anything especially drastic in his previous presidency, now he’s going balls to the wall including threatening wars and it’s only his second day.

Many of these things are going to involve lengthy litigation. Best to get that started as early as possible.

I don't think the birthright citizenship ban survives the Supreme Court but it's never been tested and its good that will happen.
