Edit: I heard he plead guilty which is not the case. A lot of what I say presumes that was how he plead. Leaving up my comments for completeness of record

Genuine curiosity, but is there really any other conclusion that the jury could come to?

I suppose there's the "it wasn't Luigi in that video" argument, and jury nullification is technically on the table, but jury nullification still doesn't feel the same as "he didn't do it".

I'm not a frequenter of this Community, but is popular sentiment here that it'll play any other way?

Hahaha, hadn't considered the opportunity to take an argument like that. I doubt the jury will believe it, but I wish him luck in the effort either way.

Finally, a practical use for AI in the daily lives of people.

.....now if only they didn't need to scan all my messages to use it.

I've seen it vary widely from place to place (America is pretty big, after all).

I would say the prime candidate to be open to talking about mental health in America is a young (~15-25), wealthy, city-living person. As you move away from those traits, the less likely the person is to being candid about their mental health (i.e. older, poorer, and rural-living people are less likely to talk about it).

There's definitely some taboos about speaking about it among blue-collar workers. It seems like there was a push a decade or so ago to start doing psyche evals for people who worked in heavy machinery. I knew one guy who (as a wave of psyche evals ame through) was dropped from his machinist job (that he'd done for 20+ years without injuring hisself or others) after telling the doc he had 1-3 beers almost every night. Cause for firing was that "he is a hazard to himself and the people he worked with". I know everyone else in that shop clamped their mouths shut about any depression, anxiety, and sleep issues after that.

Word is they've gotten a lot better about how they conduct them, but the point is that among blue collar workers, it feels like talking about mental health issues has (historically) been a fast track to losing the ability to put bread on the table.

I do white collar work now, and on this side of the wall, its definitely a lot less taboo. There's still a stigma about it, but that could just be my own anecdotal experience.

All that is to say, there's a history of mental health being used to harm people, so its not yet an open subject, but that taboo is lifting, if not exactly quickly.

Really, you can make edits like that in Signal? Like, in the messaging app? I had no idea. I'll need to look into that.

I hate it. Imma have to travel for work for about a month right before the last episode it slated to be released. Wife and I agreed we can't watch it unless We're together, so guess were not gonna see it for a hot minute :,(

Could have been better edited, but just saved this one off to pass around. Thanks for the change.

How'd you manage that?

Meet some ones meet me on e[cut off??]

I'm strangely okay with this.

Just read about this for the first time today.

Love when memes are topical to things I just so happen to be reading about on my own time.
