But other things have influence too. If Russia bans Youtube are we going to call them draconian for it? Saying we are going to ban something because we ended up with political outcomes we didn’t like that we don’t want to spread is what authoritarian regimes do.
Addendum: If you were to not single out a single company and actually address the fear at play you wouldn’t even single out the app store. You would ban any chinese company from distributing any networked software in the US. That’s what an actual law would look like instead of making a law blatantly making rules for one entity. That would be a pretty intense law, but at least it would address the fear that’s being claimed, be logically consistent, and apply the same rules to everyone. The question would be if that juice is worth the squeeze. That’s not something I’m trying to sell or not sell. Other people can think about that. But the absurd wackamole version is ruled out of making sense.
If anything it makes congress come off as stupid. We’ve got Rs and Ds on this issue. And maybe we can drop the tribalism for one second and have a cogent take away from this for once that correlates with observed reality. Maybe, congress by in large is stupid.
This is also very critical because Trump is very anti-intervention, except when it comes to Israel. Anything for them says Trump. Someone has to counteract that.
I think a lot of those criticisms are fair. But blame for aids as if the president is some god whose fault it is that nature exists says a lot about the role presidents take in our mind. It isn’t healthy.
So if I make a better car using customer feedback is the rights to the car really theirs because it was their opinions that went partially into the end product?
IP is a joke anyway. If you put information out into the world you don’t own it. Sorry, you can’t have it both ways. You can simultaneously support torrenting movies (I do, and I assume you do too), while also claiming you own your comments on the internet and no one can “pirate” them.
Some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. Did people on the ground at the time see things? Then maybe they know what they’re talking about.
Do we disregard evidence just because the conclusion it could help draw would be uncomfortable? Then we cement our biases. “There is no evidence that.” “I mean no evidence that I haven’t dismissed for violating the conclusion I want.”
Maybe we can put the state on trial. They always want to talk about how much of a pro or an amateur he is. It’s a strange obsession. The only amateurs I see are “experts”, cops, media. Of course I don’t want them to be better. They can just fock off.
I’m disappointed that he looks nothing like the guy in the hotel and it seems to be only the right that is catching on, even though the left has every reason to. Look, we have images of him both before and after his arrest. In both cases he has massive eyebrows, a highly structured face, a broad nose, and a face with a 50:50 aspect ratio.
In the hotel, no bushy eyebrows, that’s the most clear thing to spot. But everything else is wrong too. These two guys look nothing alike, at all. How are people not seeing this? Both could be described as “hot.” People are making a point of mentioning that. To the internet do all hot guys look identical?
Look at the guy in the hotel. Tell me he doesn’t have a narrow nose. Because he does.
It looks like it will be Piranha.
I think adults should be able to sign whatever contract they want.
That just changes who see’s it. I find I get less of a showing if I post it early. Posting sooner was my instinct too when I started doing this.
The left bans information too. Quite a lot. And actually they didn’t ban books. The government simply did not provide books. You just demonstrated that you are disconnected from reality right then. On every issue the left is disconnected from reality.
Yeah. Voting is retarded. Yet if anyone on the right tells you that republican democracy is a failed concept that creates a false sense of control and corruption you call them un-democratic and a nazi. But if you come to that conclusion yourself its ok.
You still haven’t figured it out yet? The middle hates echo chambers. The right and left both have echo chambers but they vote against the one that seems more disconnected from reality. By controlling speech and removing content as a knee-jerk reaction to any inconvenient information or opinion as a habit, the left have separated themselves from reality more than the right, by at least a little.
This comes off as threatening to people. Because a mob of people disconnected from reality that will simply silence anyone’s defense of themselves feels like a situation that could get out of hand. And everyone has experienced having their speech controlled. They don’t like it.
All politics is a proxy for culture war. And you lost a culture war by being controlling assholes. Watch you try to silence me right now. Just know that that habit going forward will make you lose more.
Doesn’t the left sometimes misrepresent the right? Putting the most extreme example of the left in a meme is no different than putting the most extreme example of the right in a meme. People like that do exist.
Also it wasn’t a toss up. Trump won every single swing state. All of them. This article is some mad copium. Prepare to see more of it over the next few days.
But also companies don’t do things for free, so what were they hoping to get out of paying?
Don’t do OOP kids
Democracy dumbs down civilization.
Yes. It’s literally not a suggestion from me. I worry it reads that way. It’s more like saying it is pointless to plug one hole in a sive. Either plugging all the holes in the sive is worth it and you do it, or it’s not and you don’t. But people who demand that we plug one hole in a sive either are stupid or have a different motive. If you want to look at the other motive possibility look at who is angling to buy it.
