And then got virtually all of their demands pushed through?

Conservative: “Then they need to increase taxes! Oh wait…”

Conservatives literally believe that lowering taxes increases tax revenue by increasing the total revenue to be taxed by more than the decrease caused by a lower rate.

You sound like a MAGA moron. Also encouraging people not to vote, and encouraging people to not vote for Biden elsewhere in the thread. Sus.

I feel like you’re being deliberately obtuse, or just trying to be adversarial for the sake of it. His point is that what was going on in the asshole’s head was that he was stopping an active shooter situation. He thought that because he was a moron. Had he not had a gun, the moron couldn’t have murdered people.

There’s always going to morons, so the problem here is that he was allowed to have a gun. Unless your position is that morons should be euthanized, then you must agree that the solution is gun control, or that morons murdering indiscriminately is 👍

I mean give it a go. Yeah, it’s easy to distinguish in a common sense sort of way. It’s very much not an easy problem to solve in coherent legal wording, or it would’ve been already.

I agree that discrimination against vulnerable populations should absolutely not be ok, and women especially should have safe spaces to escape abusers even if it’s difficult to make a legal argument.

Anyway, that’s going to have to suffice for my argument, my daughter needs my attention more than lemmy😅

So the people who live on the land that a long defunct empire who conquered the land the statues were on get to decide where they artifacts of an even longer defunct empire belong vs the other people who live in a long defunct empire who also conquered the land.

Makes total sense. Especially since the sincerely held religious beliefs of long defunct empire #1 would prefer them to be ground into dust.

You don’t want to be a speaker at a librarian convention though. 500 people shushing you.

They don’t care if you’re under 16. They have to ask if they want to collect and sell your data. This is a big red sign that says “WE’RE WATCHING EVERYTHING THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR NETWORK AND SELLING IT TO WHOEVER WILL PAY US!”

There are two and only two things that makes Epic Games a pariah.

(1)Exclusive content on PC should be shunned so hard that it’s not even a fucking option. You can explain away exclusively on PS3 because of its unique hardware, but it’s just a naked monopolistic power grab on PC.

(2) Epic game store sucks on every level. It’s a pigs 3 week old rotting corpse compared to Valve’s packaged ham.

Yeah, but Valve doesn’t really give a shit if it’s abused. Steam is a solitary positive example of the weird “(mostly)benevolent monopoly” idea. GabeN owns the company, there aren’t any shareholders to appease, so as long as he’s alive steam will be solid. I hope he has a successor picked out that can uphold his ideals.

Not in Arizona. You don’t even have to live there, just have to file there.

There’s at least 10 states with no annual fee. Arizona is $50 to file, $0 annual fees, and no annual report to file.

If you’d prefer your company to have voting rights, you can file in Rhode Island, and your company can vote in local and state elections without ever stepping foot in the state. Hooray late stage capitalism 😞

It’s an AMD Athlon!

Totally fine for gaming in 2024.

The problem I see is bigots using that as cover for their bigotry. “Sorry, this golf club is a safe space for people triggered by black people and women.”

The government would have to decide that the discrimination we like is ok, but the discrimination we don’t like isn’t. Which has incredible potential for abuse when the wrong people end up in charge.

Well not the state this happened in, so that seems irrelevant.

I’m posting this from a 7 year old phone with an OLED screen. The screen still looks as good as the day I bought it.

It’s a turboprop plane, so a jet engine driving a propeller. Definitely sounds weird when phrased like that though.

Your link says shoes off is considered rude in all of Central/South America and all of western Europe.

That seems unlikely, even if it’s what they claim. You would need the staff to help organize the separate photos.

None of those sentences are remotely equivalent if you actually substitute. They’re nonsensical, even.

Well if you want to make it an optional occasion we could make an optional cake?

oh no, those are my surplus plates for guests only?

and I made an extra extraneous cupcake just in case?

also I think you misread me, I was saying it’s not special if a plant needs sunlight

You were the one equivocating those words.
