  1. Every social media platform combats and takes down thousands of child porn every month. If not, they would be overrun with it. Of course they don't catch all of it. These debates about moderation are so silly because people find one example out of 10 million pieces of content and then use it to argue the whole system is broken. You can cherrypick data like that all day long when your platform deals with 100s of millions of pieces of new content each month. It's the same problem as demonizing all of police for one bad arrest video out of 1000s. These kinds of critiques are not done in good faith by people who genuinely care about understanding the challenges of policing and moderation. This stuff is extremely difficult and no one is acknowledging that. If you ran these platforms I guarantee that you would not have a better solution because mankind has not invented it yet. There is not a single human alive on this planet who has a solution to the moderation problem. It's a problem as big as human cloning. So to sit there and criticize is extremely foolish and disingenuous. It's like criticizing astronauts on the moon from your couch.
  2. Here's a 2-shot taser solution every cop should have: https://www.axon.com/products/taser-x2 Also, reloading a taser is not that slow. It reloads as fast as a pistol. I have one.
  3. Awareness is just Absolute Truth. Absolute Truth is self-aware. What are you guys arguing about?
  4. I have no qualms merging with demons. Demons are as legit part of consciousness as anything else, and you are ALL of it. But Infinity of Gods is not demons. Demons would be literal demons. This girls doesn't understand that I would have no problem kissing a demon. Demons, devils, Hitler, aliens, pedophiles -- it's all God -- and you will merge with all of it when you Awaken.
  5. @Karmadhi If you do pickup seriously you will experience growth like no one naturally does. And it's not just limited to getting sex. You are looking at this way too narrowly. Most of the growth will be outside the domain of sex.
  6. 1) JP was not outright banned. He was simply told to delete his trolling tweet and he would have full account access. He refused. He said, "I would rather DIE than delete that tweet." He choose the ban for himself. 2) His deliberate deadnaming of Page was a violation of objective Twitter terms of use. This wasn't even a grey area. He was given a clear reason for his strike. 3) If JP wasn't being an asshole, no one would censor him for his views. You have to look at whether people are actually violating terms of use of the platform. That's usually what people get banned for. People do not get banned just for being unlikable. Someone can be unlikable and simply not get banned because they don't tweet anything that violates terms of use. Hitler would be allowed on Twitter as long as he didn't post anything violating terms of use. And this is not a mistake. Just like with policing, the police should not arrest you unless you break a clear law. They should not arrest people just for being unlikable in some vague general sense. Nor should Twitter. You cannot judge these things in the abstract. You must look at the actual things these people are posting and see what violates terms of use. If someone is posting Hunter Biden's dick pics or denying that vaccines work, that violates terms of use regardless of who they are. That's a very complex issue.
  7. Conservatives don't actually love Absolute Truth, what they love is their ideology. They have confused ideology and human concepts with Absolute Truth.
  8. That's why you have a taser in one hand and a gun in the other. It's not hard to pull a pistol after you fire your taser. This should be done in cases were the criminal is far away and clearly has no firearm.
  9. Pure nonsense. Use your own brain rather than quoting some profressor. Plenty of vidoes on this channel show how effective tasers are in a knife situation
  10. 1) It is not at all clear that disinformation from left was less removed than from the right. This is just an assumption you have. It has not been validated. 2) You must keep in mind that disinformation from right and left is not symmetrical. The right spread a lot more disinformation so under a just system they would get more removal. Covid denial was largely right wing. Most conspiracy theories are also right wing. The left does not have people like Alex Jones or Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity or Nick Fuentes or Kanye West. 3) It is impossible for a platform to delete all misinformation perfectly. You are living in a dream. 4) Moderation mistakes will always exist, just like police mistakes will exist. 5) Any group of moderators will have bias. You think Elon Musk and his team will not be biased? You are kidding yourself. 6) The notion that Twitter will go unmoderated is complete nonsense. It will always be heavily moderated, the question is merely in which ways and by who? 7) You must evaluate each moderation decision on a case by case basis. You cannot just assume the moderation was unwarranted. Many of these peoplr who got downranked probably posted plenty of bad stuff, disinform, racism, hate, trolling, etc. They are not innocent politcal actors, they are professional propagandists.
  11. Dude, these are capitalist corportations. Their #1 priority is not safety but money. That's your free market at work. Hard to make money when Nazis swarm over your biz platform. Yeah, protecting people from disinformation is femininizing culture.
  12. 1) There exist 2-shot tasers. 2) Often there are 2 or more cops present, they could all have tasers. 3) Tasers can be reloaded.
  13. I've watched a lot of knife videos now, and about 50% of them justified, but 50% are excessive. Most knife situations can be handled with a taser.
  14. This is why we can't have nice things: These Nazis are getting emboldened.
  15. The problem with such laws is that they are as pointless a banning alcohol or weed. People will not obey them because it just completely goes against human nature. You're basically criminalizing half the population.
  16. Infinity is Intelligence, so of course it can grasp itself. You just can't do it using human finite intelligence. But you can using Infinite Intelligence. This is a common dogma and mistake I see with spiritual teachings. As if Intelligence is some mere egoic human property and not the cornerstone of God itself.
  17. That's what I did and realistically what most people have to do. It's not pleasant though.
  18. Blacklisting and shadow-banning is concerning and should be investigated. The problem is that blacklisting and shadow-banning will still happen under Elon Musk. He himself said that trolls & racists will get downranked in the algorithms. He is not going to be able to reinvent this wheel. But he will give right-wingers a sorts of things to cry about. The ranking algirthims of these companies where never about free speech, they were always skewed by financial motive. When you search Google, the results it serves up to you is all stuff that it thinks will benefit its users the most. It's not trying to be "fair".
  19. To people who think that police can be replaced with social workers, this is the video for you. This is a schizophrenic guy in his own house. The cop is a true professional. Amazing:
  20. Most of them have mental illness, or are on drugs, or are career criminals with a record of felonies, probation, and arrest warrants. Many of their lives suck so bad that they look forward to death. They have little to lose, nothing to live for. Many of them are at stage Red levels of development. These are the kids in school who always caused trouble and never listened to authority.
  21. Many sardines come from the Baltic, which seems to be relatively clean. Sardines are one of the best fish you can eat, other than the low-quality oils that they are usually canned in (soybean). Look for higher quality sardines packaged in extra virgin olive oil or water. Baltic sardines can taste amazing. It's worth trying out many brands and finding your fave. They can taste quite different. Latvian Riga sardines are one of my fave taste-wise.
  22. Too much of anything will kill you. No one said you should eat too much fruit. You should eat just enough fruit, no more, no less.
  23. In practice you have to do these things to climb the ladder and succeed at work. That's the difference between a job and a career. If you had a career you would be willing to do these things.
