I absolutely hate that so many people still use these shit platforms run my the worst people on the planet. That said, if you are famous, there is a dilemma where, if you refuse to use these platforms, someone will make a fake account that purports to be you.

Please take this in the “try to be nice, always be kind” spirit in which it is intended: Your moderation policies are chasing off many potential allies. I’m assuming that you are putting in the thankless work of moderating that forum because you want to raise awareness and support around important issues- like genocide. If a bunch of pro Palestinian and anti Zionist people are telling you that they want nothing to do with a forum that is moderated in this manner, it is time for some reflection. When you’re stuck in mud, spinning your wheels faster doesn’t move you forward.

OK. I know nothing about Germany and I’m willing to bet an unreasonable amount of money that they do not have a standard 15 hour work week. If they have anything less than 30 hours a week I would be able to hear the histrionics from the WSJ editorial board all the way on the other side of the continent.

Regardless, if the company is making money without ripping off their customers and suppliers then why would a short work week be unreasonable? The founders and investors can reap all the benefit from the company doing well but the people investing their time and energy can kick rocks?

Wait. But Jesus isn’t in the Old Testament? So how can TBOM be the 3rd testament of Jesus? It can be the 3rd testament or it can be the 2nd testament of Jesus but not the 3rd of Jesus.

I mean it’s also all made up fairy tales ans IDK why I would expect logical consistency from the Mormon church.

But would it actually be illegal to try this? It’s illegal to imitate an officer but ICE doesn’t wear uniforms and badges so IDK if dressing in Cabela’s cosplay really counts? I’m not in any way suggesting that this is a safe activity, ICE shoot people for no GD reason, but I’m also not seeing an actual crime

My state is 100% mail and drop box voting. If they refuse to deliver ballots that would disenfranchise the entire state. There are zero in person voting facilities anymore and we haven’t had any for years. If they deliver the ballots to our houses, we can at least take them to the county owned and operated drop boxes (IDK if there are similar setups state wide) but if they refuse to mail the unmarked ballots to our houses then we’re kinda fucked. At that point my whole state would need to stop paying any federal taxes. Full stop.

Also, why the fuck didn’t the Biden administration deal with the fucked up board that manages postal leadership? The national party has all the heat for progressive Democrats trying to displace incumbent dinosaurs but regularly fumbles the ball on important shit.

Sclerids. The bumpy bits in pears that ick you out are called sclerids. I can’t resist any opportunity to flex random knowledge from my undergraduate botany course.

Dude . NGL i was actually annoyed that you wrote a whole ass dissertation in reply and still didn’t just write a one sentence definition. Everyone doesn’t want to have to open a whole other page just to understand WTF you’re talking about. Granted, given the harrowing nature of the subject matter (now that I actually know WTF you’re talking about) this is a minor annoyance. But I’d bet fewer than 10% of the people who read your response bothered to click on the link and I would argue that it would be better for society if more people were educated about the absolute horrors of the (US, others?) penal system.

And just to close the loop for other lazy folk like myself: V-coding has to do with deliberately housing trans women inmates with sexually violent male inmates.

They have had that capability for at least 7 years now so if it makes you feel any better, it’s been getting tested for a while. Interesting side note, if the car does fuck up and damage another car or injure someone, the TOS says that the owner of the vehicle is liable and Tesla has no culpability.
