“People shouldn’t take medical advice from me”

we went from “trump never tells the truth” to “why didn’t you believe trump” so fast people are breaking necks left and right.

I think its more that he says so much shit, you can’t take any of his words at face value, which isn’t the same as everything is a lie.

If he says something that sounds positive to people other than himself, its probably a lie. If he says something that sounds horrible, its probably him telling the truth by accident.

Following this heuristic, this sort of violence was exactly the sort of thing he should have been believed on. edit: formatting

Including the full body does say the law only applies to people engaged in a campaign, and sets specific boundaries around that.

I think these types of laws are important. It seems like the misinformation, including AI generated images to soil a candididates reputation is a clear problem than needs to be address. Not saying the language on this specific law is ideal, or even adequate, but it is a start and other juristictions need to be working towards this to protect democracy in this new world of endless content.

We Canadians just had our elections, and there were plenty of fake AI images making the rounds trying to link our new Prime Minister to Epstein. I don’t want that sort of nonsense to continue into future elections.

Recklessly endangering the health of an entire democratic system for short term monetary gain is definitely little e evil.

Not sure if this is anything or not.

You pasted the httpd-ssl.conf file.

The script output is referencing httpd.conf

I think it’s sending the challenge request via port 80 and that might be where you’re looking in the wrong place.

I would recommend Shopifys APIs. Theres a lot to them, they’re well documented, and you can build a developers store for free.

Adobe commerce is another one. You can get a dockerized store up and running pretty quickly, also free and their documentation includes some basic suggested workflows.

Edit: these are mostly for practicing consuming apis, not sure if thats what you were looking for.

If someone doesn’t like how I look, oh well, that’s life. Seems this is a lesson most people learn in grade school - some people aren’t going to like you, you’re not going to like some people.

You’re not entirely wrong, but you’re also totally missing the fact that people are 100% judged by stature and not just in attractiveness, but in their value period.

The taller you are, the higher salary people will assume you already are making. During hiring, this means you’ll be offered a higher starting salary to try and make the offer more appealing to you.

Here’s an article that references the study I’m thinking of. https://merryformoney.com/height-salary/ If you care ,you can maybe dig up the original study somehow.

This sort of bias is pretty inescapable in our culture and will be I think regardless of our language. Preferred body shapes do change over time, even within the span of a single generation. Maybe tying more positive words around these words is part of that change.
