Seer of the tapes! Knower of the episodes!

  • The bill lists specific actions that fall under the proposed definition: abuse against children that includes animal torture, bestiality or cannibalism, or forcing a child to ingest urine or feces, enter a coffin or grave containing a corpse, or take drugs as part of the ritual.

    Wouldn't this include celebrating communion?

  • True

    Jump
  • Water leak behind the paint.

  • In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.

    In other words, they're not going to act on the ones that don't align with their own political ideology.

  • This popped up over the weekend on my work PC. It was an emergency and I absolutely needed to get to my desktop ASAP.

    Nope. Full screen advertisement for Windows 11 demanding my immediate and undivided attention. Blocking all other functions, commands, and inputs. I must interact with this ad or else I cannot use my computer.

    Fuck. That.

    I am never installing Windows 11. I am never buying another Microsoft operating system. Specifically because of this sort of heavy-handed dark patterned bullshit. Not to mention the fact that Windows 10 is dog shit.

  • Fucking spam has ruined another communications medium.

  • The idea of checks and balances on the exercise of government powers extends to even the state/federal relationship.

  • Banal sounds like canal

  • Sounds an awful lot like levying war against the United States, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

  • There isn't even a criminal law to charge them with.

  • On the contrary, the more unpopular the speech, the higher the bar.

  • The 1st Amendment presents a very high bar for criminal prosecution of speech.

  • These are civil cases.

  • Depends on what they're talking about.

    e.g. "Let's plan a murder" vs. "Let's plan dinner"

  • Because ultimately the problem with cars is how many of them there are, not what kind of engine they use. If there were only ever, say, 50,000 cars in the entire world we might not even notice the environmental costs. But Google tells me that there are over a billion.

    Put another way, a diesel bus carrying 50 people is better for the environment than those 50 people each driving a separate EV car. Not because the bus has less engine emissions, but because it's a more efficient use of materials and energy.

  • Not if there are going to be hundreds of millions of them, no.

  • Based on the show they've put on in Ukraine, and leaving aside nuclear weapons, I don't think the Russian military is a credible threat to NATO.
