  • Application of the law is subjective. A lawyer will know when to argue against a law, argue against the interpretation of a law, and when to argue against the evidence that a law was broken.

    So I don’t think AI is going to replace lawyers, in the same way that AI should never replace a jury of peers, or a judge. However, I do think that AI will (technologically at least) be a great tool to help the common man understand the law and inform them before they get a lawyer involved. It will also be extremely useful for lawyers and paralegals to research previous cases.










  • No.

    I’m pointing out that in the absolutely most trumpy state in the union, trump still didn’t get a majority of the possible to votes. Republicans can still lose in the state the dominate the most, same goes for Democrats. If you stand around with your thumb up your ass, your head in the sand hold your vote, then you’re really just voting for the worst possible outcome.

    This is fundamentally incorrect.

    West Virginia for example, almost 70% of the votes went to trump. 533,556 people to be exact. In 2024, they had 1,189,961 registered voters… Do the math, there were 656,405 people that didn’t vote for trump. Even in the reddest state in the union (by percentage of votes) trump can still lose if the people who didn’t vote for him decide to vote against him.

    You fucking say “it doesn’t matter unless you’re in a swing state” and I say “The only way your vote doesn’t matter is if you don’t fucking vote.”

    There are votes this year that can flip Congress. It’s happening now. Primaries are now. Go fucking vote for fucks sake.

    Update : the numbers are in, and at this time, 3 out of 8 people apparently don’t understand basic arithmetic.

    Another update : 5 out of 11. The ratio keeps getting worse. I weep for our teachers.








  • If I was carrying and there was an active shooter, I sure as hell would run or hide before fighting.

    You don’t know who the active shooter actually is. Maybe the guy you saw with a gun is a plainclothes or off duty cop who is responding to the actual active shooter. Maybe there is more than one shooter, and confronting the one you see makes you a target for the one you don’t. Maybe the cops find you after shooting the active shooter, and assume you are the perpetrator.

    For clarification, I don’t carry a gun, I just used myself as an example to simplify the text.
