I once called my bank because I had trouble logging in. They didn't outright say it but they implied that they could see my password and asked if I wanted to update it by telling them the new one. I said no.

Someone should tell them that speaking out against war crimes and genocide isn't antisemitism

Over my entire life 50 sounds about right. So many sunglasses have either been lost or destroyed by me that the most I'll spend on a pair is $10

He worked as a chemical engineer until he was killed by police over non-existant drugs. None of the officers involved got into any trouble.

I might be asking a dumb question here, this is the right community for that after all. But have you asked your cousin what might be wrong?

it couldn't find any servers locally on my network, so I had to use my IP address. So when (not if) that IP changes I'll have to troubleshoot.

One workaround that I can think of is to use ip reservation to give your devices the same ip address whenever they connect. You might find that setting under DHCP on your router. Or just use a static ip on the server.

We asked A.I. to create a copyrighted image from the Joker movie. It generated a copyrighted image as expected.

Propaganda is by definition misleading and political in nature. It can lead to policies that can make life very bad for a lot of people (see Nazi propaganda).
A misleading, nonpolitical ad, may make you waste money, but it's unlikely to lead to police rounding up foreigners in the night. Dishonest interpersonal communications will make you lose friends but it (generally) doesn't set political policy.
Thats not to say that advertisements can't be dangerous, but at least they're regulated to limit potential damage. Anyone can push any political statement as fact and get away with it as long as it doesn't piss off the wrong people too much.

I made this exact same argument using XMPP as an example and got downvoted because "XMPP is still alive"
