A roll of really heavy duty velcro. The kind that can, for example, stick a sledge hammer to a wall. It's about $12 for 5 feet or so, and about a 1" piece is sufficient for most tasks, so it lasts a very long time. I use it for all kinds of stuff; it's amazing how many uses for it you find when you have it.

but not the fatwa that prohibit nukes

My understanding was that they weren't constructing nukes per se, just getting the capabilities to do so ready to go so that if that fatwa is lifted, they can just do the final construction and be armed, rather than starting the process from scratch at that point. Is there new evidence that this isn't the case?

So why don’t we use porn as a way to raise funds and get the word out there. Let’s invite populr beloved OF models to rallies to do meet and greets, let’s have leftist non profits do fund raising initves with models to sell them videos cheaper then their normal rates (the ycould write this off on their taxes to I know a lot of celebs do this)

Holy shit, there's so much wrong with this that I don't even want to touch it. No, porn should not be used as a replacement for proper mental health support, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Really, the whole basis for the anti-AI arguments seem to boil down to "It feels wrong that a billionaire's corporation should be able to take the work of artists and writers and, without paying them for it, use it to create a tool that is then used to put them out of work." And that's absolutely 100% true, but it unfortunately doesn't hold any legal weight, and the terms we currently have to describe intellectual property theft simply aren't sufficient to describe what's going on here. Until new laws are passed, I don't see any of these attempts to stop AI going anywhere, but I'd love to be proven incorrect.

The question wasn't, "Could this be used as evidence?", it was "Would this exonerate you?"

Maybe we're answering two different questions, but I don't see this being enough to exonerate anyone without some supporting evidence to go with it.

It's like saying you couldn't have committed a crime because your TV was on at the time; it seems too flimsy to even be usable if you didn't have some other form of evidence supporting that it was actually you using it to go along with it. I'm not a lawyer, so it's possible I'm totally wrong, but surely no competent lawyer would expect that to work and no judge would take that as evidence on its own merits.

It wouldn't exonerate you, unless you could prove beyond a doubt that it was you using the phone. It'd be easy, if you were planning a murder, to give an accomplice your phone and have them use it all night to cover for you. It might be able to be used in conjunction with other evidence, though, to assist in your defense.

I didn't say I was unwilling to change my mind; I said that it became clear that it wasn't going to be changed by the people replying. If you want to debate it, my DMs are open, but leave the ad hominem attacks out of it or it'll be a very short discussion.

Well, to answer your other comment, it's replies like this that made me realize it's just not worth trying to have a discussion with the folks who disagree with me, because I won't change their mind, and they won't change mine. I think you (and the majority of folks replying here) are not considering the simple fact that taking away spaces occupied by people you dislike will not make them go away - it'll just make them try to take over your spaces, instead (hence the Nazi bar analogy).

Regardless, I'm not going to engage any further here. If you want to have a rational discussion, you can DM me and I'll happily discuss it with you. I had my say, everyone else had theirs, and I don't really think there's anything more that needs to be said.

Maybe I should have been more specific; I was trying to convey that intersex people (along with trans folks) are the two groups in that acronym for whom gender identity might be closely tied to their 'letter' (due to the likelihood of being misgendered); I'll readily admit that it's not a topic I'm super familiar with, so, apologies if I've not explained it well!
