@dalias would that it were always simple to determine the difference...

@inthehands what is the difference between the three?

@inthehands yep. And I have to imagine a lot of people are thinking at the moment "well, the leopards would never revoke MY degree... right?"

@inthehands problem is who wants to be the first to call for heads on pikes, when they've already demonstrated willingness to revoke degrees for wrongthink

@inthehands @SaltySolomon it's a bus lane though...

@inthehands probably, but also they haven't made that much headway?

@dalias @unlambda @khm @HeavenlyPossum when this discussion you always get veterans talking a big game about how basic training covers legality of orders and I don't mean to disparage them at all since I have no relevant experience, but my hunch is that ambient fascism, pressure to conform, and paychecks are a fucking hell of a drug

@inthehands @grimalkina and it won't work anyway

@inthehands I'll try in some other browsers

@inthehands The voting site is broken, right? The radio buttons are all grouped together so I'm only able to vote "for" or "withhold" for one candidate

@dalias @Herne I mean... yeah :/

@dalias I can't say I've actually used it but I do have ACLU Mobile Justice on my phone

@inthehands @zillion @Nonya_Bidniss of course it would be

@inthehands @zillion @Nonya_Bidniss I guess this is why it's "show me a warrant *signed by a judge*" (always wonder if they'll just start forging them tho)

@molly0xfff I picked up a no-name gamepad-sized Bluetooth keyboard/mouse jawn at @iffybooks. It has arrow keys to turn the pages, but unfortunately only for my phone; my PaperWhite is apparently too old to recognize it

@dalias @jwcph @eff the post has a byline

@mekkaokereke Great Pacific Garbage Patch? Great AMERICAN Garbage Patch!

@inthehands this is about new years resolutions, right?

@mekkaokereke would love to understand what happened in that jury room, as they hung on manslaughter, got that dismissed, and then acquitted on the lesser charge anyway. (I guess jury nullification isn't as rare as I thought.)

I know, I know -- racism! But the killing happened in front of witnesses, on video. Did jurors come out and say "he was black so I'm voting to acquit"? I just don't see how else you get there in a case as open-and-shut as this one.

@dalias @khm @gleick you can get a debris cascade, so it would be gradually and then all at once, exactly the type of problem humans are calibrated to avoid solving until it's too late :/
