    User agreements aren’t really enforceable, and in this case, there would be a LOT of pressure on the side of fighting for the right to use public comments externally.

    Because if reddit got their way, then that means publications can no longer cite Twitter comments. And if publications can’t rob Twitter comment, then they fucking die.

    No, I don’t agree with the bot mirrors either. In fact, me and some friends found a 4chan mirror last month that was plastered with ads and replaced all instances of anon or a board name with some other words. The concept just feels scummy.

    Except it refuses to aknowledge wrong knowledge or impossible methods. Until you tell it so, at which point it will agree with you even if you are also objectively wrong to tell it that.

    I’ve coherced some systems into doing things they were absolutely not initially meant to do. ChatGTP would straight up tell me wrong and misleading ways to achieve them, and would be too ignorant to realize with enough stubbornness and with existing obscure info and the right mindset, a correct one existed. And at no point, not even with prodding and handholding, would it be able to have a useful conversation surrounding the why’s of the current state of art.

    It’s not an expert system and it’s stupid as fuck to treat it as one.

    Shape of Water? Really?

    I know the top comments are bringing the usual boring answers, but man, I’ll take them over pretending that is anywhere close to being bad. There’s way too much shit out there worth recognizing, like, the latest stinker is Five Nights at Freddy’s.

    If someone wants a bottom 30 contender, I suggest looking up A Fish Called Wanda. It has two jokes: Long winded rants and Homophobia. Laugh. I made the delivery better.

    I see at least three catches here, and all of them taken from the basic guide

    • Good doesn’t mean “humane”.

    • Lawful doesn’t mean “thoughtful”.

    A demon that follows an moral code of conduct that is immoral by our standards is still canonically lawlful good by theirs. The nature of a fervorous Paladin is a matter of perspective.

    • Lawful nor Good mean “non-violent”.

    I don’t need to explain this part. A Paladin is… Sometimes less a matter of perspective.

    As an example, in the Movie Rabbit Proof Fence, the villain is a British Guy who falls, by his perspective, Lawfully Good. For reference, the movie starts with him doing a presentation on Eugenics and how he can save the “aboriginal people” through race mixing. Him mandating the two girls kidnapped from their village was entirely lawful. He really thinks he’s doing good and he does not at any point play dirty with those close to him to get what he wants. His biggest issue was being born in the wrong place, at the wrong time with the wrong people, with the wrong amount of scrupulosity.

    I don’t know how, but you probably did more damage here than even some other more aggressive responses. I think you just indirectly turned every government inherently authoritarian, albeit with society still functional. Because the lawmakers everywhere will catch on to how the cops function, and any semblance of progressive thought would soon stop developing.
