Varies by state. Georgia is one of several states without a clear rule. At any rate, it seems to be constrained by practicality. If they already opened the envelope to count it, it’s hard to undo it.
Firearms play a critical role in suicide deaths, being used in over 50% of all suicides in 2022. The availability and lethality of firearms contribute significantly to the high suicide rates, particularly among men. Recent data shows that increases in firearm suicides are driving the overall rise in suicide deaths, with 2022 recording the highest number of gun-related suicides on record. This underscores the importance of addressing firearm access as part of suicide prevention strategies.
Reminder that most suicide attempts are in response to an acute crisis, like an argument with a loved one, and go from initial idea to action in less than 30 minutes.
Survivors report perceived lethality of firearms being a primary factor in their decision.
Access to lethal means can make all the difference between a bad day and a last day.
Fake lawyers, fake reviews, and several pyramid schemes. Solid takedowns, FTC!
His would be gold though
Maybe the COPS theme song, cuz I think it did a lot to popularize the show and that was some mega-potent copaganda that did long-term damage.
Maybe Horst-Wessel-Lied, for similar reasons.

thin in this world for free. No I can’t slow down, I can’t hold back, though you know I wish I could. There ain’t no rest for the wicked… til we close our eyes for good.
It’s Cory Doctorow’s pet name for it. Like most terms he comes up with, it’s almost too brutally honest to say in polite company.
Whatever the hell candy corn is.
(Everyone seems to be taking the opposite message from my original post, so I guess I’ll just replace it.)
Here is a pretty good video about the original incident when it happened, responding to some of the criticism of the soup-throwers by comparing their demonstration to the self-immolation of Wynn Bruce, in terms of media attention, cost, and damage:
(I had not heard of Wynn Bruce before the video, so I assumed nobody else had either. Wrong assumption on Lemmy, I guess.)
CNN has the youngest audience among cable news networks. Median age of 67.
He’s talking about being able to continue the genocide.
There’s this podcast I used to enjoy (I still enjoy it, but they stopped making new episodes) called Build For Tomorrow (previously known as The Pessimists Archive).
It’s all about times in the past where people have freaked out about stuff changing but it all turned out okay.
After having listened to every single episode — some multiple times — I’ve got this sinking feeling that just mocking the worries of the past misses a few important things.
I’m not so sure that the concerns about AI “killing culture” actually are as overblown as the worry about cursive, or record players, or whatever. The closest comparison we have is probably the printing press. And things got so weird with that so quickly that the government claimed a monopoly on it. This could actually be a problem.
Having a small market so close is a massive improvement from my previous address, where the only option was a big supermarket 3.9km away.
Unrelated note: Jill Stein is doing very well!
If we’ve learned any lesson from the internet, it’s that once something exists it never goes away.
Sure, people shouldn’t believe the output of their prompt. But if you’re generating that output, a site can use the API to generate a similar output for a similar request. A bot can generate it and post it to social media.
Yeah, don’t trust the first source you see. But if the search results are slowly being colonized by AI slop, it gets to a point where the signal-to-noise ratio is so poor it stops making sense to only blame the poor discernment of those trying to find the signal.
I agreed with the content of the essay.
Idk who chose the headline, cuz the author’s take is far more measured than that. (Probably an editor optimizing for clickbait?)
I would caution, though, that the author is specifically talking about:
I think there are more valid concerns about AI beyond the scope of those two areas, but I can’t blame the author for focusing on their area of expertise.
The time signature changes create a surreal effect. In the first half of the track, it creates a feeling of being lost in thought. And then in the end it becomes a sense of panic.
If you like that, I also recommend live for no audience during a global pandemic
Not sure anyone actually read the article, cuz yall are talkin about apps vs. web sites, and data collection. Two points which are briefly covered, but ultimately shrugged off in favor of the larger thesis:
It’s not simply the code delivery mechanism, and it’s not whether the data exchange is safe from prying eyes… It’s the fact that a digital UX has invaded every aspect of human interaction, including mourning.
