Tbf, "unalive" is only a thing because of TikTok, unless they're pushing the same content to both platforms, when they have to go with the most restrictive version of their combined rules.

And even then most of the problem is keeping it monetized, not necessarily the platforms during it down directly.

But since videos are a career now, it's a fairly effective ban on certain words.

TikTok is way way waaaay too picky imo. Personally I don't want anything censored at all, for any reason.

Unless someone is going ham on a topic that's triggers you into some PTSD situation, I don't really think there's a good argument for censorship to exist in any form at all.

If some idiot is using language you don't like you just stop listening to them and realize that when you're scrolling through an non-curated source of content, you will hear idiots saying stupid shit.

But the action taken on them shouldn't be an effective gag, it should be just getting ignored. Once blocked and ignored enough, it's basically a shadow ban. It wouldn't be profitable for them to be offensive just for the sake of being offensive, but they shouldn't be getting what basically amounts to fines just because they said someone "died"or got "killed".

That kinda shit is bonkers.

Easy answer. Super easy. Not easy to happen, but easy to give a valid answer.

Fox News would just have to have it as a talking point with a huge swath of their propagandists agreeing and all of them talking about it.

You could literally say "people that are outside for any amount of time on (insert random date about 2 weeks out or so) will gain the ability to fly and if you add a part about it relieving joint and back pain permanently if activated from height I guarantee you'd see a huge increase in deaths by falling from heights.

Red cities would just have old people splattered all over the sidewalks.

And the world would be a better place immediately.

Yeah, but it's rarer and usually called a baby.

I just want a story where a pile of ICE bodies is discovered somewhere.

I actively want to see a body pile of corpses, but of them.

I might forgive certain kinds of ignorance (begrudgingly) if people snap out of it, but I will never forgive ICE members.

We're living through what will become Inglorious Bastards II.

I feel like (fuzzy memory of DS9 here, so feel free to slap me with facts) Bashir seemed more biromantic than bisexual. I never got the feeling he wanted inside Miles' pants. He just wanted to spend all his time with him.

I keep empathy for people who are misled and have been intentionally confused, but the line I see gets drawn when they have been educated and still choose to be a fascist/Nazi. If they're fully versed in it and are still advocating for it and taking actions on behalf of it, then I lose empathy.

The problem becomes making that determination. But while I draw a line for dehumanization there, I still support death penalty just for being one (as in taking actions that are clearly intended to support or promote the belief. Keeping a known and verified Nazi alive will never be beneficial in any way at all to anyone but other Nazis.

The only real benefit to dehumanization at all is having a way to tell yourself that you're not included in a species with that possibility.

But setting a burden of evidence for and being convicted of just being a Nazi/fascist should be grounds for execution in every country.

This is so real. I was literally finally laying down when my brother got me with this.

This guy fetishes.

Even as a kid that grew up with Voyager, the first thing that comes to mind is the shot of Picard pointing to the smiley face he drew in the smoke/fog/plasma/whatever as the vote was staying to explode while time was (close to) frozen. Or maybe it was frozen, it's been a long time since I saw that episode.

Mostly because of all the stupid.

That would be great, tho. Just let him say that a few times, and after waiting a bit to let the programming reach the MAGA herd and be interpreted by their "special" brains, the ones hiding can come out and be safe, assumed to be legal since he "got rid" of the illegal ones.

Kids today only know these phones from images like this.

But my first phone was a step and a half before this.
