According to an affidavit written by a DPS special agent, Ozment allegedly called the Governor’s Office on the afternoon of July 25. DPS claims Ozment left the following voicemail (KXAN has redacted the profanity in the transcript provided by DPS):
“I don’t know which one of you sons of b—-es passed this motherf—ing bill to get this damn s— blocking my motherf—ing anime, but you whole a– motherf—ers need to unpass this s—. Y’all are f—ing ridiculous with your b—- a–es. My Google account says I’m f—ing over the age of 18, and your dumba– is passing these dumba– laws. I’m a f—ing stab every godd— one of you b—-es. Unlock my f—ing anime.”

He's apparently under 40 and capable of navigating the Internet. Very strange that he wouldn't at least bother to look it up online or something. Presumably he had to find the phone number he called so he seems capable of finding information. It really isn't that hard to set up a free VPN if you're literate and have Internet access. I'm someone who regularly defends people not using Linux because it's confusing for them, so I feel like I'm not being overly demanding here or anything. I'm pretty sure Firefox has a free one built in now. So, it might've been as easy as downloading Firefox and clicking a button. I'm not sure because I don't use Firefox like that, but still.

You're vastly overestimating the benefit of youth in computing these days. It was more of a Gen X / Millennial phenomenon because computers were widespread but difficult to use. Like car guys in the preceding generations.
Going forward, there will be as many young people good at computers as there are young people good at cars. Not many, but enough to keep computer science moving forward.

He's in his 30s. I said under 40 because I didn't remember the exact age, but I am not attempting to suggest the iPad generation knows about computers. For what it's worth, even someone bad at computers because they grew up on iPads could likely figure out how to get access.

To those who didn't read TFA: he wasn't talking about anime like Boku no Hero Academia or Dragon Ball Z. He was talking about hentai.
The article confirms that Crunchyroll and a couple other anime streamers are available in Texas.
The guy was trying to access PornHub (or a site like it) to watch hentai, and that site simply blocks all Texans (and people from other countries and US states that have similar laws).
As for those asking if it's illegal: the US constitution does enshrine the freedom of speech, or rather, your government's inability to pass laws restricting said freedom. However, there are still exceptions. You still can't make threats to officials, or other things that can harm others.

I'm not surprised given Texas's reputation. Big hats, big trucks, "don't mess with Texas"... yeah how about I just skip Texas entirely next time I visit the States. I hear some parts of it are nice, though, but hot isn't my thing.
Carrying a sword openly sounds awesome in theory but terrible in practice.

Gotta have sumthin to shoot at, the more outmatched the better when you're always drunk and sweating barbecue.
I understand. The sword itself incites to violence. Guns are the same. I own a magnum revolver and the weight in your hand screams "someone somewhere needs fixing."
Nobody that hasn't felt that weight can comprehend. Dumbfucks enjoy that power. It scares the shit out of me.

I have to go to Texas to complete a bucket list of mine (Visit all the national parks in the US) and I'm trying to figure out how I can do it without spending any money there... Pack in my own fuel, food, supplies, stay at free campgrounds or on public land. I don't want to spend a cent in Texas when I go.

Counterpoint: I've heard Whataburger is worth the money. It's also a Texas-based business, I believe. Never tried it, myself. Not sure if I would or not.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 7d
I don't think there is a way I can prevent sending any money to someone in Texas, they have ports, they do a lot of oil refinement. I'm trying not to spend any money in Texas. They have a significant tourism economy, and I dislike the idea of giving tourism money to a state that is famously bigoted, anti-woman, and pro-christofascist.
Jax@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 9d
FYI - it's because he specifically said that he was going to stab them. That's a very real threat and actionable, most people have access to knives.
Now saying you're going to cut their heads off with a guillotine? That's protected by free speech, and you'd 100% be able to argue that in court because I guarantee you don't have a guillotine or know how to build one (hopefully, maybe you do - in that case do not say this).
explodicle@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 8d
Who the hell doesn't know how to build a guillotine? It's a knife hanging from a rope with guides on the sides. If you wanted to make a nice artsy one, you could just have one guided side.
Jax@sh.itjust.works · -2 pts · 8d
I should have said 'know how and have the means to do so'.
A guillotine also isn't something you can just take into a court room and start killing people with - it's not a weapon in the traditional sense.
