@skinnylatte I don’t think anyone should have to justify their sexuality to anyone else, but I especially don’t want to be subjected to someone’s justification for being straight when there really aren’t people out there oppressing straight folks. Just maybe we should sit this out.

@dalias @kkarhan @vtrlx @hipsterelectron which Linux-based, locked-down AMD computer do you want?

@skinnylatte it doesn’t say anything good about the country that it’s mostly acceptable to do that, but not describe it accurately

@inthehands truly enlightening as to their true motives and understanding of the world. There is a massive amount of, as yet unharnessed, solar energy hitting us all the time and on geologic time that flux wont appreciably change. Solar panels from 25 years ago are showing incredible longevity and efficiency-retention. Fossil fuels kill throughout the entire cycle of using them and are broiling the planet. You want there to be future humans you can maximize fitness/happiness/whatever for? It’s pretty clear what they should be excited about if they actually cared about their stated values.

@inthehands @jenniferplusplus I would say that regardless whether guided learning from an entity that actually knows the material or independent learning tested against reality both best working with jumped-up autocorrect. The machine will tell you that you’re doing great things while spitting out garbage—counter-instructional is certainly one way to put it.

@inthehands okay, but: you didn’t have to put down the cat or stop giving it scritches at any point.

@dalias @Oggie @gwynnion yeah, the Supreme Court has spent over a century spoon-feeding stupid cops the exact words they want to hear to rubber stamp any violation of the putative rights of the people. Do you honestly think that the average cop could define “furtive motions” let alone recognize them?

@inthehands this happens to ideas all the time! Engineers have ideas that sound great, then you realize while thinking further about it—or during implementation, if you’re unlucky—that the idea doesn’t actually fit reality.

@skinnylatte I mean, Nestle is definitely responsible for some things…

@dalias @CadeTheCat I think basically all the places I’ve lived as an adult fell under 2. South Carolina and Virginia have “package stores,” private businesses licensed to sell liquor. There was a restaurant when I was in Goose Creek, SC that sold mini bottles because there was some weird loophole with the state’s liquor laws. New Hampshire runs its own liquor stores—no private stores sell liquor there.

@inthehands ah, the loophole around “political” activity in uniform is that jingoism is a-OK

@dalias @hipsterelectron yeah, cargo chaining out into the horizon and saying, “all the light touches, you must *directly* trust” is no way to do things.

@inthehands @mothninja @pooserville they’re so sad. Like, “oh, sweetie, those policy positions are downstream of the racism, you really don’t know what’s going on here, do you?”

@inthehands
Time seems to agree substantially.
“That said, the impact is similar. By taking the floor for such an extended period, Booker is disrupting the normal functioning of the Senate, drawing attention to what he and many of his Democratic colleagues view as a dangerous political climate under Trump’s leadership.”

@inthehands but he’s not actually filibustering anything?!
Don’t get me wrong, these things need to be said and as prominently as possible, but normally this kind of display was used to hold up legislation or nominations.
(Normal died a long time ago, and this particular bit of normal was strangled by McConnell because he wanted to hold up genuinely popular bills and nominations indefinitely.)

@dalias @whitequark @ryanc @filippo this is apparently exactly what happened to all previous expansions to copyright that vested in the creating individuals.
“You have new rights according to the government; isn’t that nice? Sign them over to us or we’ll make you starve [now, rather than later].”
