by perceiving me you hereby waive all rights to sue or prosecute me, whether you be natural person, corporation, or state, unless you are suing me to give me something cool like money

Oct 25, 2026, 8:26 PM@jonny This sounds like they heard about Meta’s disclaimer that lets them crawl and ingest your website, or anything connected to it, for training purposes if you’re a Meta user, and the LA Times decided hold my beer.
@jonny time to bust out @pluralistic ‘s email .sig: https://gist.github.com/calaveraInfo/122766782f63f7ad56d1a6a524166c15
@jonny that sounds like some bizarro-world Kafka story from a world where Franz Kafka was really into Infowars.
@jonny What if the gold bars had gold trim
Then they’d be nautical gold bars so that’d be fine
@jonny my EULA specifically says that I get to enjoy the benefits of being loved WITHOUT the mortifying ordeal of being known. sorry if you want to dispute this we have to do it in a binding arbitration; much less of a hassle for everyone to just love me
@jonny Slightly more eloquently put than the now common "By using this site you're fucked to eternity."
But no less agreeable to our overlords, luckily.
@jonny @pluralistic by thinking about this you have lost the game.
@jonny and you agree to arbitration. Because I can ask you to waive your lawful rights.
@jonny
"by perceiving me [with your sixth sense, which has no limit of distance or time] you hereby waive all rights to..."
@jonny it reads like the script for an anime supervillain explaining to the hero why the villain can't be defeated
