there a new popular trend on twitter. #cut4bieber. Teenagers are cutting themselves because they want to send a message to Justin Bieber that they don't agree with his pot smoking ways.

I added a warning to the post. The images are a bit too graphic to be posted in the thread, but there's no harm in discussion about it.

vcfan, it looks like you edited your post just as I did :p I snipped the images, added a warning, then saved the post, but when I refreshed the page, you had done the same :p I think it's best we keep my large, red warning at the top of the post, though, as some people will click links without reading the full post.

I am fine with any discussion about this. Posting pictures in the thread will not be acceptable but posting links like those in the original post may be if a clear warning (like the one I've placed in the first post) is included.

:laugh: yep, after i posted the pics i realized it isnt right so i edited my post.after i did that i saw your edits. your warning is fine actually,thanks.

The part that sickens me is that the label / promotion company will be fully aware of this, but have taken no action. I'm not outright saying that they are responsible in any way, but they could at least put out a video saying "Hey look, you cut yourself. There's a lot of reasons for this - often taking back control of your feelings. But doing it for attention in the name of a fan is just wrong, and we do not support this. Please stop". Also Justin could do similar. 100% guarantee they are aware of this.

But nothing.

Flipside: Please finish the job.

Just back from 4chan and there is a lot of talk about this there.

Most of the pics are troll accounts and 4channers trying to get other kids to believe this is real then do it themselves.

Im never letting my kids (if i have any) on the internet unsupervised!

I'm never letting them online, period, the way the Internet is going anymore.

Yeah thats a fact, the internet is a scary place nowadays if you end up in the wrong places. And this is what is referred to as the "clearnet"!!

I've only wandered into the "deepweb" for an hour or so but it doesn't seem there is much there you can't find anywhere online now.

Is a very pertinent topic, one that describes in a very precise (if not shocking) way the culmination of the capitalist morality. A new theology.

I might write a paper about this.

I think it has to do with the complete lack of parenting most children receive while growing up that causes things like this to happen

Something is terribly wrong with those kids, seriously.. Those poor crazy kids, this is just a great example of what a tragic society we live in, this is why the youth of America is going down hill, drowned with emo kids and bieberites.

It's bigger than that. Bieber adoration is the result of many decades of capitalist cultural domination and influence. Elvis is a precedent, NKOTB is a precedent, every media-marketing posterchild built for the teenage public is a precedent. Yes, parents have responsibility too but parents themselves are part of the problem.

Don't believe me? A couple of weeks from now this indignation of ours will pass. We will assimilate it, the media will absorb it.

Capitalism is not only an economic or political system, is a social one, including moral dynamics.

Back when I was 10 or so and if I would of have "followed" someone this deeply in love my parents would have thought I'm crazy and would have had a pretty deep discussion with me.

Also, if you slit your wrists because of something like this you do deserve to die from blood loss, just remember cut it upside down.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
