I disagree. I cannot think of a legally protected reason to create a tool to make deepfake porn. It is not expression. It is not art.

For better or worse, guns are different. They have legally protected purposes.
It's exactly like blaming guns for murder, except that 2nd Amendment absolutism defeats any civil or criminal exposure for a gun manufacturer.

We recognize there are limits to 1st Amendment Free Speech, and making porn without consent is one of those well recognized limits. Making child porn is one of those well recognized limits.

So while the factual scenario is hard to distinguish, the legal frame work results in a different outcome.
This was a team projected to compete for and win a national championship. Every player at every level, other than the transfer DBs, has been a disappointment.

But Nuss is the most disappointing. We were led to believe he'd be a Heisman finalist and a top three quarterback taken. He has been awful. Whether it is due to injury, inability, or complacency in the off-season doesn't matter.

The Bayou Traditions Funds posters were on here after Underwood switched to UM. They were telling everyone that every fan who wanted to have an opinion on the LSU football team had to contribute to the fund.

I imagine that many people are here contributed something to that fund; and, I imagine that the fund helped pay the Nuss Bust.

This is exactly right.

He isn't a student. He does not bleed purple and gold. He is not doing it for the love of the game or the university. He is not doing for the chance at a professional career.

He did not come back for one more year to help the team. In all likelihood, he leveraged his last year to get more NIL money after Underwood pulled out the rug. Everyone made a business decision.

He is a professional and deserves to be treated at such.
I don't think striker is the problem/solution for this team's inconsistency. CFC has the second most goals in the league with teams regularly setting up the 5 man lower block. My hope for additional/improved offense is Cole coming back and facilitating the other attackers.

Center back is the obvious weak spot on this team.
I have Tulane season tickets. I think Sumrall is a fine coach, but he is about to be massively overpaid. I hope it isn't by LSU.

He has bad clock management skills. Les Miles level bad.

His teams constantly play down to the competition, but do not rise to meet the challenges of better teams.

Tulane invests enough in its teams that it should be in contention for the AAC title every year and make the at-large spot every once in a while. Sumrall has them on that path. In other words, he is replacement level.

I accept that this is his last year coaching Tulane. I hope he doesn't become LSU's next eight figure coach.
I bought those for each of my children at Adler’s.
Colwill was such a vital part of last year's end of the season run. The biggest missed of the summer transfer portal was failing to find someone to hold his spot. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
When Hallman was fired: SEC games were still on Jefferson Pilot Sports. He was making, at best, a few hundred grand a year. Tiger Stadium sat 78,000 people. LSU had not won a championship in more than 35 years. A fan could get season tickets for a few hundred bucks. Fans weren't asked to pay athletes' salaries.

College Football wanted to become big business, so now it has to operate like a big business. You cannot compare then to now because there is an entirely different set of rules.
Ever seen the meticulous records kept by the nazis?

Celebrating the murder of even one person is wrong.
This is a stupid straw man argument. No one says any example you made up would be appropriate.

But everyone with a brain and every lawmaker in the history of the written word recognizes a difference between death as the result of accident (your citations to the titanic and the hidenburg) and death as the result of murder (the holocaust and 9/11).

There is no reason to celebrate murder.
No. You’re an idiot. You cant recognize the difference between fact and fiction. This is celebrating a place where over 1 million people were murdered. That is not the same as a ghost or a devil. Get real.
The biggest screw job with cord cutting (and there are many of them) is the loss of service and inability to be compensated when internet is down.

15 years ago, when everything was through a cable provider, if your service was down for a day you could get a full refund for that day for all of your services.

I now have home internet through Verizon. They also have my cell service. If Verizon goes down, I cannot access any of the platforms. But the platforms don't owe me a refund because their services are working; and, Verizon only owes me a refund for their service, not the services that I cannot access.
There is no free speech issue here. He wasn’t arrested. He wasn’t ordered to take down his words.

His words were worthy of investigation and they were investigated.
We had a very similar topic about a week ago. The study was from 2016, but as clearly stated on page 1 of the report, the data is from 2011.

quote:

POS transaction data from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 from a leading grocery retailer were examined for this study.
Real question is why didn’t Kelly fire Sloan after the game on Saturday?
Frank did not succeed as a head coach twice. Why would the third time be the charm?
I can't argue with an insider. But, from the outside it looked like strength and conditioning dramatically fell off after 2019. No one had much of a problem with Moffitt's departure when Kelly came in.
