"Boies Schiller Flexner. As you may recall, the "Boies" in Boies Schiller Flexner is David Boies, who famously was deeply involved in trying to silence Harvey Weinstein's accusers, deeply involved in trying to punish Theranos whistleblowers, and also tried to silence reporting on the Sony hack years back.

I often love the newspaper stories about welfare queens defrauding the government, & conservatives getting a bit confused when all 24 defendants were white. That can't be right, it must be a mistake.
We demonize those who actually need the help, based on skin color, assume they are just stealing from us... then we treat them as less than. Meanwhile those actually ripping the system off don't even register a blip in their narratives.

My shocked face... once again the corporations lied to everyone.
This never happens, they would never do this. bursts into laughter
Perhaps it is time that citizens stop pretending the culture war matters & start asking why our leaders manage to keep believing the same lies over & over that lead to us having to bail out corporations & pay higher prices for less service.
Our leaders are bought and paid for, and they do NOT have our best interest at heart. Perhaps it is time to use your vote as reminder that it doesn't matter how much you pocket from backroom deals, we will vote your asses out until we get leadership that puts us first & when they are lied to actually punishes the liars rather than hand them more gifts.
It won't happen, because people are deeply delusional believing that their preferred leader actually cares about what they want & isn't just scamming them to stay in power longer & increase their networth.

But but but the algorithm killed Jesus.
(Yes it is scary in my head, billboards from shitty advertising campaigns have space in there)
The algorithm learns what you like and gives you more of it.
If we put a child in front of an endless supply of ice cream, they will eventually vomit.
Far to often humans do that stereotype thing where they keep shoving apples & oranges into a label that does not actually describe either fruit.
Then there is the concept of personal responsibility (and yes children don't have the capacity to do that but who should Zucks or the parents?) I wouldn't have found this if they hadn't FORCED me to keep clicking, I had no control, its not my fault.
No skippy, it is your fault.
You showed the computer what you liked, kept pursuing it, & well thats where the rabbit hole lead you.
The computer didn't know it was serving up horrible videos pretending to be kid videos, no computer can do that.
While its nice to blame the algorithm for doing it, exactly how long was your child unsupervised on YT?
How many times did you bother to check on what they were watching and clicking on next?
Yes there are bad things out there, but we can't discuss these things. We aren't using the same definitions for things & we end up bogged down in people claiming their definition is the right one (even if its stuff full of unrelated things) so everyone is talking over each other trying to win, but doing nothing towards the actual "problem".
There are people who honestly believe that a million 15 yr olds are kidnapped and trucked into the Superb Owl every year.
Anyone who tries to point out that's impossible is attacked as supporting child abuse.
And we end up with more laws that do the opposite of what was intended & makes things what much worse for the few 15 yr olds who get lured by bad actors because people are looking for a group of 100 trafficked kids.
It would be nice if people started stripping down the labels to the bare bones meaning everyone can agree on, without all the extra baggage attached, so discussions can happen with everyone using the same understandings of things.

I mean while Trump like to threaten to sue everyone, he was smart enough to never actually file because discovery would be lit.
Given the sideshow any lawsuit involving Nunes has turned into, to the extend of using unrelated cases to get information another court denied them, I highly doubt this Judge is going to get anything remotely close to the truth for in camera review.
