Doesn't really help that we prop up idiocy rather than letting people face the consequences of their poor decisions...
@tuxcrafting @matrix @igel it isnt, matrix just chose a pisspoor example of the first amendment

more accurate examples:
- do you have separation of church and state in israel? can you freely practise any religion you wish, or denounce judaism?
- can you freely speak out against your government?
- can you freely report on whatever you deem newsworthy?
- can you freely go outside, hold up a sign with whatever goddamned beliefs you have, and protest?

i'm absolutely SICK of hearing retards talk about my nation as if the first amendment is just a fat fucking n-word pass and a way for skinheads to fly nazi flags. you dont fucking know what liberty is if you think that of all reasons is why we fucking defend it, and you dont fucking understand anything about it if you tell me that i dont have true protections under that "piece of paper"

its more than a piece of paper you fucking stupid jew, its the cornerstone of CENTURIES of judgemental decisions, of de-facto law, of countless precedent. quit talking shit about america if you cant fucking understand the simplest concepts of it.

They called the fedi "the playground of the world." There was no place like it, No place in the world like it, and it was so fabulous. Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing, you see. I still remember in my mind how things used to be, and uh, I feel very bad. People from all over the world came here, you see. On the, on, on the timeline. And we used to post here, post all the time. They don't do that anymore. Things changed, you see. They don't post anymore on the federated timeline...

unfortunately for both the right wing and left wing extremists out there donald trump hasn't turned out to be the second coming of adolf hitler like they claimed he would be
@se7en @Meeper @jojo @kk @tinfoil-hat "Advocacy" got Linux nothing but fluoride. Normies don't start computing correctly just because you take Windows away, they just turn Linux into Windows.

So apparently there is a group of christians out there who not just domestically abuse their wives but they encourage others do the same and call it "spanking" or "Christian Domestic Discipline" (CDD for short.

I read this article and this guy sounds off the wall nuts to me...

@waifu nicotine as well. and it's just because it's been used for so long

Who was that fedi user that stated having more than 2 or 3 citations on a wikipedia article meant that the statement was in some way bullshit?

Because I just ran into another example of that. I was reading this article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T9_(predictive_text) ) And it had four fucking citations claiming the technology was protected by patent law.

Why the fuck would this technology still be under patent law? Patents run for 20 years, and this is 90s stuff. While the idea of patents is appealing, the implementation is bullshit. The vast majority of patents granted are just iterative bullshit, or are vague "methods" with no clear application. I would reckon that of the patents granted, less than 10% represent real and substantial innovations. The rest are just weight so billion dollar corps can shut down the little guy, exactly the opposite of the intent of patents.

Personally, I’d argue that some things flat shouldn’t be up for a vote ever regardless of how much of the majority agrees. The reason for this is quite simple. Anything that can be voted away eventually will be, given enough time. The right of self-defense, of which owning guns is ultimately merely a subset or expression of such, arguably should be such a thing that’s not up for a vote. Free Speech and Expression as well. The majority should not be allowed to vote away the rights of the minority and given enough time, they will

@cowanon @p Alright. So I usually just laugh off UFO-shit because who cares about grainy photos and "i was abducted by a child by the US military in an alternate timeline but i'm back now and they were dicks." :blobcatshrug:

- that being said -

Tesla straight up said he built a radio and was talking to aliens or hollow earth or some highly bongos thing. People wrote this off as mental illness but the man already did other "impossible" things. And then the whole paper seizures on his death is itself bongos and suspect because it's not normal to have a paramilitary response to the death of a crackpot. So that's just plain damn weird and goes on the shelf.

Reagan also had that whole "we gotta dominate space" stint, and apparently wrote about :blobcatoutage: going on, but was also kind of getting dementia so that all got put on the shelf.

One of Podesta's emails is from apparently and astronaut asking to set up a meeting to talk about next steps for disclosure. Which is also going on the shelf because that's weird but :blobcatshrug:

But Trump promised at the outset to "release the suppressed technologies" and "declassify JFK" and things. And anons mapped out his relationship to another Trump who worked for or with the people who stole the Tesla papers. So he ostensibly knows that our based Serbian wizard was doing :blobcatsleepless: and also has the "we gotta dominate space" thing. I guess that can just go on the shelf too :blobcatglare:

my shelf is getting full :blobcatwaitwhat:

fucking hell am I seriously having a discussion on why mutilating children should be illegal

If you ever wonder if Americans are stupid or not, just remember that the male circumcision rate in the United States is 75%. The only ones who top that are Jews and Muslims.

@Orakel
What's esthetically pleasing about a mutilated dried up mushroom?

@boob
The belief, perhaps naive, in inherent equality does more good than harm. Its our responsibility as a society worthy of continuing to exist to care for true "incompetents" and invalids and that's what pure meritocracy is missing, but still, I think the *ideal itself* is valuable.
