  • At risk of being political, I think that's called "being a Democrat."

    I really hate it when people I agree with use such terrible flawed arguments to support my ideals.

  • I use my wife. She's an artist, and has an eye for such things.

  • Empty words should never be considered as a start.

  • I was trying to recall what I had from that company. Spirit island is a delightful game.

  • No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can't tell you how many "I am 18+" dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

    Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

  • The second warming. Well done.

  • If this isn't 3AM, then nothing is.

  • On the one hand, I suppose that depends on who is defining "basic human rights." I'm pretty sure the Trump Convoys would claim that's what they were doing.

    On the other hand, the question was on riots, not on rights. Not all riots are justified.

  • I'm not saying I approve of what he's doing. Quite the contrary.

    But it's what he's asking, and how he's asking, not that he's asking.

  • There is no legal basis for this fight. Do you pollen to start shooting tax collectors?

  • Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

    In happier times, we call the process "diplomacy," and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.

    But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.

    I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.

  • This is the same as any major conflict. People want to try to work thing out without violence. The times that does happen are unremarkable. The times it doesn't happen, we can judge later weather it was the right thing to do.

  • Is this "surrender to avoid being defeated," or am I misunderstanding the case?

  • The physics of this irritates me.
