A name to rally behind is good, regardless of if it is Luigi or The Adjuster

Sure. But my whole point is that we’re headed in that direction.

I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m talking about the choice that people make when these effects start happening, not a choice now. Of course most people aren’t opting to get violent yet, there backs aren’t yet against the wall.

It very well could be the rest of your life in both cases.

For now. Give it a few decades when the effects of climate change start forcing people out of their homes, cause widespread crop failure, kill thousands with heatwaves and storms, etc.

If you’re choice is between

1. losing your home, starving to death, or in some way dying in the streets

Or

2. losing your home, starving to death, or in some way dying in the streets after holding those responsible to account a la the adjuster

More and more people will choose option 2.

One can hope

Nonsense.

It was a wake up call for execs to quit their bullshit. It was a wake up call for the working class to band together.

And there is still a very slim chance he gets acquitted/a not guilty verdict.

The conditions that caused this event haven’t gone away. And all of the school shooter types have just been taught that you will be widely regarded as a folk hero for shooting an exec, so they may opt to change their targets for the better. We will probably see more exec shooters.

His political affiliation is a distraction that ultimately only serves to hurt us. Even if it is him that they caught, he did a good thing.

I’ll condone it

It’s been 3 days, and the chances of them finding him go down with every day.

Because there is no abstraction as leaky as a man waiting outside your hotel at 6:45 in the morning with a gun and murderous intent.

A leak like that is the type that keeps leaking. The system needs to change, and it eventually will, doubtfully but hopefully peacefully.

It’s a legal defense fund, not a bounty reward.

Granted, they’d probably still do so anyways.

And health insurance companies have done a lot of fucking around.

Hopefully more of the FO part comes out of the woodwork.

Don’t forget the children whose siblings died due to insurance fuckery, and the parents who’ve lost children.

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, and he just never gets caught.

If he does, it’s gonna be one hell of a gofundme campaign for his defense.

Good. Let the celebration continue.

For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I’m already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn’t the end of the world.

You can self host it so you can access it over the web, or you can choose to run it entirely locally. It’s pretty nifty, and I’ve elected to using it for the second option.

Ignoring the myriad of other issues listed in this thread, the bit about training AI is pretty misleading. It’s not hard to scrape webpages for whatever kind of data you like, even if loops doesn’t outright hand things over for third parties for that purpose.

And the kind of people who are downloading the entire internet to train AIs are the type to be willing to just scrape without permission.
