Just a reminder, these people know you are pregnant before you do

They are perfectly capable of distinguishing between good and bad actors

These companies are genuinely evil

Id say this situation is more like watching someone else use a shovel and then claiming that I dug the hole

I don't think "holding rich people to the same standard as the peasants" is equivalent to "lowering the bar for criminality"

In fact, I'd go so far as saying it's much closer to "keep the bar for criminality where it is, but apply it to everyone equally" but personally I'd add a little addendum about scaling up the punishment for crimes by those with greater influence and responsibilities to the people, but that's just me

If you consider that a hammers job is to bump into things with force, essentially everything at every scale becomes a hammer

Their apps and their hardware might be gorefests but you best believe their tracking software is rock solid with no possible failure modes

This sounds suspiciously close to what used to be called a DDoS attack

So they can do something which used to be considered stalking

Every single thing this company does would get an individual thrown in jail

Why do the zuck and his goon squad get a free pass to literally be criminals?

"I was advising someone to do something illegal but then they got caught so I'm throwing them straight under the bus to save myself"

Yeah that's the American spirit right there

If meta and google know that you're pregnant before you do, they can't possibly not know the company whose ads they're serving is a scam

I did specify over religious garbage and not over this specific piece of land

Regardless, the point is we aren't "fighting for peace and freedom," we're just murdering a bunch of people in a different country over something we have nothing to do with

We have nothing to do with this war, and just because "one side invaded the other" does not make either of them right - both sides have been murdering each other over religious garbage for 100s of years

This isn't our business and we shouldn't be involved

Thinking that we, as Australians, need to get involved looks to me like "aw these poor little brown people don't know what they're doing they need a big strong white man to sort it out!"

Picking a side here isn't advocating for peace it's posturing

Beats companies and governments being openly hostile towards the people

You know, the thing that actually makes a country/society

Putting the needs of business over the needs of the people those businesses are actually supposed to serve is how you end up with America

Homeless problem in Australia right now is insane

People sleeping in every car park at parks and beaches etc

I'm a night person with bad insomnia so I often go for drives or walks at night and a lot of my favourite places to go are now heavily populated by people sleeping in their cars

To the people who are saying these little details aren't an indicator of what matters:

As a chef of close to a decade I will tell you right now:

If people in the restaurant aren't getting small details right...

They DEFINITELY aren't getting the rest right either

Someone who isn't paying attention to the food they're serving and the conditions they're serving it in just doesn't care and isn't paying attention to how they wash their hands or that piece of meat they dropped behind the fridge a few days ago that's bringing in roaches and rodents or the sour smell coming from the bag they just opened or the open wound that just dripped blood into your sauce

Most likely, they probably don't even know what allergens are present in their menu, posing a genuine risk to people

I promise you

Who are you people sticking up for?

I don't understand the "I mean they clearly didn't put any effort in here, but I believe 100% that they're doing their absolute best everywhere else!" sentiment

It's great to be optimistic about life and people in general but that's entirely unreasonable and you're only gonna be let down (or in the case of a restaurant probably get sick)

Would you trust a pilot that advertises his services with some half assed ai generated ad with spelling mistakes?

I know I wouldn't

Yeah, I think what they really mean is people, especially those with power, broke this thing called trust and now they're trying to use """ai""" as a scapegoat.

It'd be along the same lines as saying "I was drunk driving 75km/hr over the limit down a busy suburban road during the middle of the day and 5 people died because of it so we CAN NOT TRUST CARS"

And everyone stands up and claps

Kids are so much smarter and more capable than adults give them credit for, and it is stunting society as a whole

I think infantilisation is a huge part of the reason we're where we are today - kids 100 years ago were working harder jobs than most adults today (not implying child slave labour is a good thing, just making a point)

Kids today, though, are given exactly 0 responsibility and treated like babies the whole way through their prime learning years

I feel so sorry for the next generation
