I’m normally not one to kink shame, but I’m shaming you right now.

Just wanted to give a heartfelt thank you for posting the picture of Gary Busey’s suitcase.

Russia invaded Ukraine. If Russia wants peace, then all they have to do is, you know, stop invading? That’s not really a bias statement. That’s just basic facts that have nothing to do with empire approved narratives.

Or killed because they had a son who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, has been in and out of rehab since 17 years old, and has been homeless multiple times.

Much like trusting the US with a far right person in power, why would anyone trust Russia or China with their own far right people in power? They are only trying to “support” you if you can give them something they need, and the minute you ask for anything in return, the phone doesn’t answer. This isn’t exclusive to Russia or China or the US, this just how hugely powerful entities act around much less powerful entities.

Do you know what the word “activist” means? Do you know what the word “investor” means? Put the two together and you have your answer. This isn’t rocket science.

My answer every time that came up, which is about once a week, is protein is in nearly everything you eat. Peanut butter, bread, rice, oats, eggs, ice cream, pizza, beans, etc. Also, humans don’t need nearly as much protein as people think, unless they are athletes or have a dietary condition. Most Americans eat far more protein than they need.

UCLA protected violent criminals who attacked peaceful protestors. You can call them woke all you want, but protectors of antisemitism is a big stretch.

Strangled her to unconsciousness… so badly she needed surgery to fix her neck and is still physically recovering.

Thanks, that detail was not in the other story I read on this. If you go into the other thread on Lemmy about this, you’ll see people defending this action by the judge.

No, it’s the “he was charged as a minor as a 17 year old and fulfilled his 6 months of probation and education.”

Disagree for certain violent crimes and above certain ages. Young people don’t fully understand both what they are doing and the implications of what they are doing, that’s true.

However, at 17 nearly everyone knows it is wrong to choke a girl so hard she needs surgery to repair her neck, while filming the assault, and then raping her. And this wasn’t even an isolated incident that he learned from or that happened in a fit of passion that happens more when you are younger. This happened twice, both times with choking, raping, and filming. And apparently he didn’t even show any remorse about learning what he did was wrong.

So no, I disagree that it is always wrong to charge minors as adults. Or, if we are going to agree, then I want there to be harsher penalties allowed for minors who commit certain crimes.

This is something that happens in beach cities in CA. People get drunk at the beach bars and then take the beach bike path home. However, those paths are used by pedestrians and other cyclists going at high speeds.

My local one requires ordering by kiosk, which requires swiping your membership card to start the order. Yes, you can probably ask the person next to you to swipe for you.

It’s not bootlicking, you weirdo. It’s recognizing when one thing is right and one thing is wrong. Just because a company does something doesn’t make it automatically wrong.

I know it might be a crazy concept that is hard to grasp, but the world isn’t totally black and white. It’s almost like bad people can do good things sometimes. And good people can do bad things sometimes. Your way of thinking is exactly the way Republicans justify all the evil shit they do. They are religious, which makes them good people, and therefore everything they do is good. In your case, you think a corporation is bad and therefore everything they do is bad.

The person who owns a trademark or copyright has a right to use that trademark and the onus to defend that trademark from other people using it. We used to allow anyone to call themselves anything they way, and it turned out badly.

Theft is when something you own is taken away. The squatter never owned the domain, only registered to use it. In this case, ICANN owns the domain and allows a registrar to handle who can use that domain. ICANN sets strict rules on how domains can be used, and the squatter broke those rules.

Maybe the judge is a little smarter on actual laws than you are.

This isn’t about an intangible thing being property. This is about the way domains are controlled. Nobody owns a domain, they register the right to use a domain. All domains are controlled and “owned” by ICANN, which allows registrars to handle who can use domains.

They are not anyone’s property.

The point isn’t that intangible objects can’t be property. The point is that domains are not legally owned by people or corporations. You can pay for the right to use one, but you don’t own it.

What sucks is that a lot of commercial companies in L.A. use the .la domain, which is blocked by my company’s proxy.
