And I’m telling you that the algorithm isn’t causing this.

The underlying root cause of these things have nothing to do with marketing or any algorithm that any marketing firm employs.

The underlying issues are mental illness and a lack of mental health Care in America Not to mention the basically suggestions we have for gun control instead of laws.

Marketing firms cannot and should not be held accountable for people freely using the internet or any other service that also have mental illness

The relevant conundrum is that they should regardless take some kind of responsibility for this Even if they have no liability.

The fact that you are even talking about stuff like this even if it is out of ignorance and probably naivety is that you are detracting from the underlying issues causing these things to occur in the first place.

This whole thing is nothing more than a frivolous lawsuit specifically designed to make a little bit of profit from a settlement preying on the grief and torment of people who lost a child in that terrible shooting.

They’re not intentionally targeting the mentally ill to sell them guns so they can perform crimes with them.

What’s happening is this mentally ill person was searching things, the algorithm caught on and sent them advertisements to persuade them to purchase more of the things he was looking at.

The algorithm doesn’t really care what it is as long as it qualifies in whatever marketing parameters they have.

Did the algorithm persuade or affect the person’s actions and promoted the crimes that they committed. Probably not. Do these predatory marketing firms have some kind of accountability? They probably do.

But not for the reasons that you think.

My heart goes out to the parents of this horrible tragedy and they deserve compensation for their torment.

But this just feels like a sleazy law firm looking for a quick settlement by exploiting the emotional turmoil this horrible event has caused.

I’ve used Twitter like twice in my life and only because Bungie absolutely insists on providing server updates when they’re down solely and exclusively on Twitter only.

In the destiny community it’s a point of contention. But then again if you’re part of the destiny community literally everything is a point of contention.

I was about to say the pattern of declination is not significant.

There are other factors to consider as well. Such as the quality of the critics and audience in general.

I was banned from r/Ukrainian for advocating for the Russian people and how we shouldn’t demonize an entire population.

I’m Ukrainian. I was born in Ukraine…

We did kinda create a new Internet… the tor is pretty amazing if not pretty fighting at the same time.

Of course! We don’t need freedom of the press! What we need is a special department that is able to change headlines at a moments notice so even past news can be changed! That way we can have an inner party within the government comprised of loyalists and patriots monitoring the proletarian masses for dissonance and inappropriate thoughts.

Heh. For some reason I have suddenly become deathly afraid of rats…

I don’t see an issue here. 🤷

The original question is very vague and in general difficult to answer without asking additional questions to clarify so I answered the question in the spirit not in the letter.

Wow. Amazing. Like what kind of an answer is “if you’re inside a car you can see the car”. This doesn’t answer a damned thing!

We don’t “know” what kind of galaxy we are in because we’ve never seen it from the outside. That would be impossible with our current technology.

Instead we have made very smart evidence-based assumptions as to how our galaxy looks.

What we know is that we are definitely in a galaxy because the general structure of the universe precludes such a conclusion. The extreme vast majority of matter is condensed in structures that are very uniform, we call them galaxies, therefore we must also be in one.

On a very clear night in certain parts of the world we are able to see in the sky a large elongated collection of stars which the ancients called the Milky Way because it resembles milk flowing down a smooth surface or something along those lines. What we currently believe is that that elongated formation of stars is an arm of one of the spirals that comprises our galaxy. We are also able to look at other structures using telescopes in our galaxy for example we have determined that we have a supermassive black hole in the center as many other spiral galaxies do as well.

So to answer your question we cannot see the Milky Way galaxy as a whole only certain parts of it and we’ve been able to draw conclusions by seeing other galaxies.

All the other comments here making neurotic epitaphs and idiotic analogies about how seeing something from the inside is the same as seeing something from the outside is just dumb and pompous if you don’t know the answer don’t say anything.

Depends on what I use it for… dry goods like cookies, beans pasta I’ll reuse them till they wear out…

Human remains though… that’s a one time use.

(This is a joke)

Arrrr maty!

Exactly I started playing pool at a local hall right by my house. Great way of meeting new people.

Getting out and doing stuff in public is a great way of communicating.

How would you regulate such a thing? Or enforce it? Like… people could still use the correct values to achieve a suitable answer.

That is absolutely correct. The atmosphere is held in place, so to speak, by gravity. It is also spinning along with the earth. Some of the atmosphere is lost to outer space at a regular rate and again replenished by natural processes that are beyond the scope of your question.

What’s more interesting is the atmosphere is pressurized at a decreasing gradient the closer it gets to outer space thereby relinquishing the idea that a container is necessary to house all of our atmosphere. (I watch a lot of flat earth videos for funzies.)

Uhhh, the earth isn’t flat, just in case.

The sad part is conservatives will question why she couldn’t live off 42,000 a year!

If this comment was on Reddit you’d be downvotes to hell.

That’s because all the asshats that have been banned for saying shit like that on Reddit are here now and haven’t been banned yet.

It’s just a matter of time before the nazi mods and wokies take over.

An always on microphone connected to a company that is mostly known to exploit their customers and employees! Say it ain’t so!
