One: you can be sued for anything regardless of if it's true or not. Someone could find some sleazebag lawyer and sue you for drowning hundreds of puppies while laughing about it -- does that make you a puppy killer?

Two: We have presidents that we know directly ordered genocides of native people ... yet weren't sued for it.

If you had actually read the Wikipedia article:

In 1973, a federal district court in Arizona decided that the act was unconstitutional, and Arizona could not keep the party off the ballot in the 1972 general election (Blawis v. Bolin). In 1961, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the act did not bar the party from participating in New York's unemployment insurance system (Communist Party v. Catherwood).

So yes, the law passed during the the McCarthy era ... and was afterwards declared unconstitutional.

The Communist Party USA is still around and even have a website.

While a trite example, in the recent Barbie film

You mean self aware, hyperbolic satire?

They know there have been women on the supreme court. It was a reference to second wave feminism, and inverted because that was the joke.

This is 100% speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if it checks the length of the subscription when connected to a network, then tracks that with a built in clock. There's also incentive to frequently connect it to a network since the company constantly "updates the algorithm" it uses to detect crashes and deploy.

I suspect it would stop working once you hit the end of whatever period it knows you're "paid up" for.

They have significant weight on the general population: layoffs, actual inflation decreasing value of wages, etc.

The problem is corporate greed and artificial scarcity also have a significant impact on the general population.

Easy: use a user agent switcher that uses blacklists. Mine only spoofs chrome for youtube.com.

I mentioned the time hexbear's admin called the (trans) admin of blahaj.zone (the trans instance) "transphobic" in another thread once. Some hexbear dipshit then "named and shamed" me as a transphobe.

They're loud, obnoxious idiots -- nothing more.

... you're doing a better job fitting the "judgemental, antisocial nerd" stereotype with these replies than the people you're making fun of.

"The humans brain is currently better at understanding edge cases, dealing with incredibly odd situations, and predicting other human's behavior than AI" is more of a fact than a feeling.

Self driving AI doesn't notice the driver passing them is nodding off or screaming while giving it the finger. It doesn't pick up the subtle clues that another driver is drunk or distracted. It can't see that a load in a pickup truck it's following isn't properly secured and predict it falling off.

Self driving AI currently struggles with fairly common situations. It's not ready to be in charge of something as deadly as a semi-truck.

I do. I also competently complete all the work that's given to me and then some. I'm being paid to do a job and I do it well. If I'm not engaged in work and caught up I'm going to discretely "fuck around" while still being on hand for anything that needs me.

That's what most jobs are: you're paid to complete specific tasks and be available for when something comes up.

Oh, I could be doing more work? -- I'd love to ... for more pay or time off. The expectation of "looking busy" and "busy work" is for jackasses, and I don't work for free.

It is, but the minimum requirement is a "low pressure" notification when tire pressure drops past a certain point. So instead of a gauge you'd get a warning light.
