I don't have that faith any more, but I used to be devout and associated almost exclusively with religious people. When I work as a missionary, my life focused only on God and church work, the prospect of dying didn't feel significant to me. It was unfortunate, like getting ill, but nothing dire. It actually made it difficult for me to sympathize when I was helping comfort people who had a loss in their family. It led me to thinking that most people don't actually believe their loved ones are going to a better place or that they're going to see them again. Their grief is closer to how I would react to irrevocable loss.

In short, I've learned that people grieve a lot differently than I do. I don't think it proves people care about someone more just because they're constantly bawling and inconsolable.

    All these stories amount to "wow, she's not grieving like I think she should!"

    Who gives a fuck. What a bizarre fixation on a widow's reaction.

    She believes in the Christian God and most people making this point probably don't. So no shit she's not going to grieve the same way. She didn't really lose him in her mind. It's just temporary.

    Most AI platforms allow sexualized content to varying degrees. Google, Instagram, Tiktok, etc all host CSAM. Always have. It's been understood that they're not liable to the extent that they remove it when reported. Their detection technology is pretty good as to automatically handle it, but never perfect. They keep track of origins and comply with subpoenas which has gotten tons of people convicted.

    Grok image gen was put behind a paywall, which people claim is worse. However, most people paying lose anonymity and thus can be appropriately handled when they request illicit content, even if Grok refuses the request like it usually does.

    I think the Grok issue is sensationalized and taken out of context of the realities of what happens online and in law enforcement.

    It's sad how few of you have taken the time to research or attempt to start a business. Of any sort.

    People aren't evil for selling a service and registering it as a corporation which often requires a CFO and a CEO/President, even if the business has only a couple people. A lot of these businesses struggle financially just as much as any welfare recipient.

    Do you think the only people who aren't evil are the non-industrious? It comes across as pathetic parasitic envy.

    It is unclear who the individuals arrested are or what the reason was for their arrests

    Wow great reporting. Didn't contact the restaurant or anything. Just writing about videos people post on social media.
