This is the modern version of the Judas Priest backwards masking case.
"What's the Ozman trying to say here, Nicky?"
"John, absolutely nothing. The blizzard always came straight with his messages. But wrap your minds around this, gentleman. Chicago."
I command you in the name of Lucifer to spread the blood of the innocent!
"Whoa! Chicago kicks ass!"
This isn't going to be a win for us
Bet they going to try to use it as an excuse to require age verification. They want to collect everyone's selfies and IDs for online accounts.
This is literally a stepping stone to all pressing everyone and that's why I'm not going to accept it, especially not into the phony pretense we're given
Well considering it's their PUBLIC BUSINESS PLAN, I don't think you're gonna have a hard time proving it.
I'm certainly rooting for them, I hope this might be a first step in finding a way to regulate algorithms. I doubt that hope will be rewarded but got to have some.
This is a case where I wish we didn't have a "jury of peers". Most people don't even know dompemine is a thing or it's effects. Most people don't know the effects a disfunctional family can cause.
No, I don't understand them completely either. There are experts in these fields who have done valid research and run well documented studies to better understand these topics. They are who should determine this. No YouTube videos or a blog post don't count. I mean actual real studies that stand up to scientific rigor.
I feel that YouTube/facebook played a part. But I want that to be true due to my inherit bias. I have no data or numbers to back that up. Experts probably do. There have likely been done studies about these things.
I know know there is a thing called a Skinner box but that was over 50 years ago and I'm sure we know more. That said I'd bet the average person on the street doesn't even know that and shouldn't be determining this case.
Ask your McDonald's worker for something to release some dopamine after a long work day, based on their answer do you want them setting precedent on this topic?
Experts get bought, don't forget smoking was healthy and prescribed for quite a long time
True, nothing is perfect.
If I need a life saving operation and given the choice of a Harvard graduate at random or a random person in time Square... I know who I would choose
OK the person from time square but that's probably just my depression speaking.
Reddit addicted me for 12+ years. Sue them too.
Can you sue people for being assholes?
