This is
1) flat wrong on the facts
2) flat wrong on the law
3) flat wrong on the impulse to shield a company from the consequences of its own actions in offering the creation of CSAM-as-a-service
This is the sort of morally bankrupt statement that should have its speaker be booed off every street

“Although your immune system can take on [a COVID] infection, you want to avoid testing it as much as possible because your body is sustaining damage with each infection that it survives.”
I live near Drumshanbo & will be writing to mayflowercommunitycentre@gmail.com detailing how much money I spend in the town each month & swearing not to spend one red cent there again if this event goes ahead. If you do any business there, pls do the same! www.leitrimobserver.ie/news/local-n...
while tech bros and armchair philosophers contemplate rights for hypothetical conscious machines, the reality is that actual people (labourers) are treated worse than exiting machines
This is very much needed and very cool!
Living with people who deny long covid exists is a special kind of hell. Especially if you've experienced it. Sending love to everyone surviving this 💜

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better
