My point was more that they will believe they have created a scalpel but it's actually a cudgel. They aren't as clever as they think they are and will mess up here.

I hadn't considered that, but looking at Elon as an example, yes, this is likely.

I have no faith in their AI efforts. They are going to flag so many random accounts.

He’s one of the very few conservatives I feel respect for. I may not agree with his takes but believe that he is thoughtful, honest, and filled with integrity. His opinions are reasoned and rational. Wish he were a progressive, we’d think of him like Bernie.

Dude seriously just had to shut up and keep making bad pillows to stay rich. It's amazing how people can self destruct.

There’s a huge pet trade for ants. Really big hobby.

The argument is symbolic. He's still a foreigner and will always look and sound like a foreigner. His Thai friends will consider him part of the community, but he's just some expat to everyone else.

It seems like every 10 years or so a story like this comes up.

I remember in the 90s there was a case of a teenager who vandalized or put graffiti on a building in some place like Singapore and was sentenced to caning. There was this huge outcry about how cruel it was and such, and I remember (I was in high school) thinking that the guy was an idiot who made how own bed.

Then you get Otto Warmbier who somehow was allowed into North Korea and then decided it was a good idea to rip a post of the country's founder off the wall.

The lesson? Know where you are. When you're not in Kansas, then don't do Kansas things. Consequences are different in different parts of the world. It's really easy to be a respectful traveler.

He was getting on or off a plane as I recall. In something like 2017 or 2018.

In Captain Planet, it always bothered me that the South American dude got a ridiculous power like "heart" while everyone else got something useful.

This is the case. They are mimicking the original Japanese choreography and movement style.

Yeah this bothers me. They aren't going after the farm owners who do this, the people who own the slaughterhouses, etch.
