Not in law school 😂

But as an American, how is money coming from a political donation legally protected free speech?

Since I’m not a lawyer, and I assume you are, please walk me through how that concept, legally, makes more sense than a bullet coming from a gun being considered free speech in a “Prove me Wrong” tour about gun violence.

Honestly, no antogonization intended, I would earnestly love to hear an actual lawyers take on the differences between these two concepts.

Because from my perspective: both are genuinely poorly reasoned when it comes to the first amendment and free speech, yet one is actually legal.

Would love to know why that is.

Better still:

Mr Kirk was on his “Prove me Wrong” tour.

And the assassin chose to prove Mr Kirk wrong in a way words couldn’t.

However - If spending money can legally be protected as “free speech” in the US, then what other actions could be considered “free speech” and therefore is protected under the first amendment?

If Mr Kirk was openly asking to be proven wrong, then couldn’t the assassins bullet be protected under free speech as a clear (but violent) answer to that question?

Don’t forget he was sitting in a tent surrounded by posters promoting his tour called “Prove me Wrong.”

The blood shooting from Mr. Kirks neck alone was not good enough evidence to determine if the shooter hit what he was targeting. Great work FBI. At this rate, you’ll soon be able to confirm the shooter used a gun.

The same reason opiod companies paid doctors to promote their opiods: legitamacy.

• Opiods were marketed as a wonder-drug painkiller.
• Then a bunch of doctors got kickbacks for writing prescriptions for opiods.
• This made them seem popular, at least enough that a large majority of the US then started getting prescribed and asking for opiods.

Instead it created the opioid crisis that still has addicts suffering to this day.

• AI is being marketed as a wonder tool for film.
• A bunch of animation studios are getting kickbacks to use AI.
• The goal is to make AI seem legitamate and popular. The animation studios work will be used to hide how terrible the AI is at doing their job. However, their work, and any of it’s results, will likely be credited to the AI, not them. Which is why they’re being paid well. It’s the same as the kickback for the doctors.

Basically, the studio is being paid to pretend that the AI they use is as talented as them. It’s not, but they’re clearly getting paid to animate a movie that AI is already taking credit for.

At the end, Sam Altman will use the movie to promote the abilities of AI, when in reality AI can’t make that kind of movie without 30 million and an actual animation studio to do the work.

AI will seem more legitimate. People will use it more despite never getting the results advertised. Mission accomplished.

AHahahahaha 30 MILLION?!? AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy shit they’re about to prove why it’s better and cheaper to pay humans to animate something than it is to pocket 30 mil while asking a computer to do it.

It is genuinely disgusting to read the budget of this AI movie is going to be 30 million.

With that much money and time, you can also just make a real animated movie with humans doing the drawing.

15 million alone is enough to employ a team of nearly 200 animators at a rate of 75k a year. Which leaves 15 million for marketing.

Let’s see what a team of 200 animators and the same budget can do in the same amount of time.

Fuck AI in its entirety if all it’s doing is taking jobs away from the skilled. All I see here is a grift to pay a team of C-suites the wages of hundreds of artists to find out they don’t know the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground, even after asking Chat GPT.

I can’t wait to see this movie fail. I’ll bet money it’s not even completed by the end of this year. Fucking WASTE of money.

If the world taxed them all only half their wealth (keeping them billionaires) and took the results and invested it in a trust, it could be generating 80 billion a year from only a 1% return. That’s enough to solve world hunger every year twice.

The world doesn’t have a resource problem. It has a billionaire problem.

I spent a lot of time reading the time cube guys rants, and I’m like 90% sure they just never understood that if you rotate a cube enough on both axis it resembles a globe.

He just didn’t understand that the earth has multiple times zones because it’s a big old globe, instead of 4 timecube-zones, because he couldn’t understand how surface area stretches over a globe, just a cube.

Anyway, my two cents. Sometimes ranblings are just a misunderstanding of basic math or scientific concepts.

Sorry 2D /3D OP, but you’re a great example too.

You want to claim 2D or 3D aren’t “real” when what you’re simply trying to say is that we, as humans, with limited and dull senses, are incapable of perceiving dimensions / universes that exist outside our own.

No shit.

That doesn’t mean they don’t exist. For that, it requires tools that exist outside our perception, but are universally sound. Aka Math.

So yeah, we can prove other dimensions exist with math, but can’t perceive them because we’re meat.

That doesn’t mean math is bullshit, it means you need to read philosophy enough to understand our existence isn’t centered on human perception.

We’re monkeys that have harnessed self awareness to the point we can prove there’s a reality that exists outside our limited perception. But simply because that’s only doable through math, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

It means your feeble human body is literally only capable of understanding extradimensionality because of the meat in your head, and it’s ability to comprehend math.

You are meat. But math is universal. You are limited in perceiving the universe to what your meat has given you. So doubt your meat, not the math.

It’s what the time cube guy should have done imo.

Show me as many pictures of this journalist with terrorist leaders as Trump with Epstein and maybe you could consider them close friends. Until then, you are exaggerating at best, or spreading clearly fake propaganda about a dead Pulitzer prize winning journalist at worst. If you aren’t state sponsored, grow the fuck up.

Yes, that is indeed what a good journalist looks like.

Especially one who won a Pulitzer for covering Palestinians. You know, the people in all those pictures. Almost like he needs to be around them to journal what’s happening. You know, for good journalism.

How fucking cooked is your brain on propaganda to think this indicates anything to the contrary?

You think someone taking a picture in front of a Ronald McDonald statue means they work at McDonald’s?

Propaganda is easy to spot when it is this incredibly stupid. What’s your excuse to not spot it?

Funny enough, there’s been studies on Pedophilia that determined:

“pedophiles seek to gain a feeling of power and control” and also “pedophiles lack sexual interest in adults, and find children less intimidating.”

What do most greedy narccissists want? Power. Who are they intimidated by? Critical thinking adults. Something kids lack.

So the greedy - who are obsessed with power - who avoid critically thinking about their poor use of resources - will likely be drawn to pedophilia as a sexual outlet.

Elon Musk comes to mind. For many reasons.

I would honestly like to see a reference to whatever study you’re quoting. Because all the data I’ve looked at clearly shows the US getting hit harder by COVID than anywhere else.

We’re #1 in both infections and deaths. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1093256/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-deaths-worldwide-by-country/

Over 100 million cases of it have been documented here, with over 1.1 million deaths. This also places us at the second highest of per capita deaths in the world under one country: Peru.

Our COVID death rate accounts for 1/6 of the total world deaths from COVID.
