No. The whole thing is just weird. The only thing this could be is grooming. But he was grooming you, if he knew your age. You can’t be grooming him; you were 13.

This could have ended worse, but from what you’re describing in the post, you just had some really weird messages with a stranger online.

You sound delightful to be around.

Don’t get me wrong, ethically this situation becomes very complex, but let’s not kid ourselves: the evidence is unfortunately very strong. In fact this is one of the easier cases for the prosecution to try imo.

To prove intent under the statute of Murder 2 in NY they have:

• a weapon him
• matching shell casings
• video evidence
• cellphone data linking him to a route away from the scene

Cause of death is self-evident.

There is no legal justification applicable here (self defense, …)

There’s also a chance this will get a terrorism enhancement. Supporting evidence would be the targeted nature, the casings and manifesto.

He can go for an insanity plea or extreme emotional disturbance, however this usually goes to the punishment phase and not the trial phase, making this almost irrelevant for the conviction.

The one thing he has going for him is jury nullification. This is legally dubious and usually can and should not be argued, for very legitimate reasons; however the jury can make their decision basically without justification and therefore this is very plausible. The probability is a different question which is hard to answer.

I do not like murder, but I sympathize a lot with him, however especially because of that I also have to keep it realistic and accept that legally the case against him is pretty strong.

TL;DR there’s strong evidence against him, and if there’s no jury nullification he will most likely be convicted.

Absolute gigachad for that answer

So you’re saying this planet’s DND party just has bad dm?

God fucking shit it breaks me heart to hear that. I’m so sorry for your loss.

My mom is quite pro science and my dad became a bit spiritual, conspiratorial and anti-science, but none of them were hit that hard. I feel like I’m in the opposite situation where I technically can try to convince him to change his mind every time I see him but he is extremely stubborn and there’s no way. In fact it will make him dig in deeper and the only way for him to change is by himself.

Fuck this timeline I want a reroll.

Yeah monopolistic behavior is bad but these are the worst facts if you wanna raise that. I see their PR team has been overcooking that one a bit.

Hateful is always a weird word imo because it describes that the Internet is full of hate, and I’m sure there’s lots of it. However, the Internet is vast and you will find too much of everything everywhere. So theres platforms with abnormal amounts of positivity and hate, but there’s also platforms for weird niches, platforms for scientific discourse and everything.

So generally I would say no to both. Lemmy tends to skew a bit towards Europe and towards elitist but that’s a very light skew and I’m still trying to assess tropes you find lots of on here. Well except for reddit hate. But that’s historical.

I don’t doubt this but now I’m really curious about the numbers. Is it the same on PC? How do women’s experience compare to other genders in similar surveys?

To answer your question while ignoring your dishonesty, bias and ulterior motives:

I would be exactly the same level of annoyed. I have a distrust for any government especially when they play war or when they threaten others.

That said, some governments have proven to be more straightforward and predictable than others, and I definitely prefer those. That doesn’t mean I’m gonna fall in love with one soon, these things only lead to authorianism and I think we can agree between Hitler and Mussolini that’s not an aspiring state to live in.

I would love to have a nuanced conversation, because as someone from Europe, I do have a very nuanced view on all of this and I feel bad for the civilians who get caught in the crossfire of these conflicts, but unfortunately you are basically killing any platform where these nuanced conversations are possible when you’re trying to strengthen your position by using rhetorical questions.

There’s no winners in discussions, and they are only productive if everyone is there to speak, listen, and learn. And that way I can understand why the hell you are doing what you’re doing and maybe respect you a bit, while you understand the same about and stop trying to “catch” other people in something. Because that’s not what these communities are for and you are being an asshole.

I mean NGL they used to be pretty unbiased for quite a while which was very odd considering they have direct ties to Qatar. I can’t speak for their recent coverage though and there’s probably something to be said about them falling out of favor.

You can do everything right that people taught you. But you only start living when you make mistakes, fuck up, and find the places where you belong, and a picture perfect life doesn’t bring you happiness; it’s rather shallow and lonely.

That paired with the realization that my mental disabilities will make me lonely for the rest of my life and there’s only so much I can do about it without having breakdowns.

It’s quite something to understand how specifically petty he is though.

What an absolute bitch filing slapp suits.

Yeah.

Discord needs to moderate, so they ban and therefore conclude their legal obligations.

If it was CSAM and discord thinks it’s bad enough, they will probably forward the information to the authorities.

Now if the authorities think it’s worth an investigation and give it the proper priority, they will start one. If the investigation concludes and they still think you’ve done goofed bad enough, they will persue you under criminal law.

See how many ifs there are and how many people have to sign off on it? There’s quadruple human review at minimum in there, and there’s no way they think they can win on those charges when the evidence if gd damn popcorn.

Also, you can appeal a ban. I got auto banned on discord about 2 months ago and I appealed because I know for a fact I did nothing wrong - I was literally asleep and my last messages did not even contain profanity. I was so mad cause that account is important to me. They reinstated it - to their credit - in a matter of hours. Still, could’ve done without the heart attack.

TL;DR you’re more than safe as long as it wasn’t actual CSAM.

Iirc there was an obligation on steam to disclose AI use as well as the extent. Might be wrong though.

You’re screwed dude

Harsh, but from what I see I agree, fixing it might be harder than redoing it, and covering it up if it looks good is the easiest solution you have

Asterisk on that - I consider black forest’s image generation models to be leading, and their pro variants are commercial only.

That said everything else has leading models that are all open source I think, except for ChatGPT which is becoming obsolete right now.

This news cycle is one hell of a nothing burger.

That’s gotta be peak full disclosure communication lol
