“According to predators on 4chan the platform operated as what the users thought was a secure way to discuss potentially dangerous men on dating platforms with women in similar situations, this is naturally completely equivalent to exposing the women who were attempting to be safer and putting any and all private info of theirs online for predators to access. The level of risk in going on first dates with people you met on the internet is completely equivalent for straight men and straight women and it serves them right for trying to help eachother stay safe by comparing notes”

Did I get that right?

You’ve got the rest of the union to help you along … What’s going wrong?

Go see bands live, look up who is opening for bands you like and check out their music, talk to people who go to those shows and see what they like.

This should absolutely be becoming a massive class action suit against both the hotel and the smoke detector maker. All you have to do is prove in court that the detector can be triggered by things other than smoking.

In what world does google docs etc not work in firefox? They’re webapps

I don’t know how okay I am with keeping mayo for 6 months

That is for restaurants lol don’t worry

Source that this is a major source of upset for anybody? All I’ve heard is that it has made progressives feel slightly better.

Username checks out

Those were absolutely not the only protests in Israel, those were the only protests in Israel that got coverage and support from the government. The protests against what was happening were violently suppressed and silenced as has been happening for quite some time. Yes the large anti netanyahu protests made little mention of Palestinians rather than ceasefire deals to bring the hostages home but that is how you bring people together politically.

It’s straight up not a thing, there is no number of years which tends to correspond to the life expectancy of empires

The 250 year thing is basically completely made up BS

They have been MASSIVELY trying to stop people from voting, what the fuck are you talking about you absolute nincompoop? They keep purging voters and trying to implement new ID requirements and closing polling places and encouraging people to “poll watch” (voter intimidation).

The rationale behind the most recent articles of impeachment were unprecedented and kind of nonsense.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on the modern common definitions of things then. If socialism means only be definition a transitionary stage to communism then there is no meaning in people saying they are a socialist vs a communist, but clearly many people identify as socialist but not communist.

I wildly disagree with the premise that the principle difference between european style socialism and the socialism practiced in china or NK or the USSR is whether the state or private ownership has the steering wheel. The difference is how dispersed and shared the power structure is between groups with differing ideas. Concentration of power inevitably leads to corruption and further concentration of power and unfettered private ownership is an incredibly efficient way for power to concentrate. Capitalism is a very powerful tool to create an oligarchy and if private ownership is allowed it will at least WANT to create an oligarchy given enough time. However, a one party system also WANTS to create an oligarchy, even if the one party ostensibly represents the people. The modern socialist movement contains many, many people who have little to no interest or belief in seeing pure communism happen.

Kinda? Socialism was initially described as a transitionary stage of Communism in the same way as totalitarian violent revolution was described as a transitionary stage of Communism. This view also contained the belief that Capitalism is simply a transitionary stage of Fascism. A mixed market economy then with Socialism and Capitalism then describes an economy that is in a superposition of transitioning to both Communism and Fascism. In reality the transitionary times if you call them that are just as validly real times that people live in and regimes change and come and go and we must strive to fight for justice, equity and self determination while preventing too much power from falling into the hands of too few now and try to find the best system for now rather than acting as though everything is an inevitable slope to one extreme destination and that nothing else matters.

The reasoning is that basically every president in the last 5 decades or so has used the existing laws that generally permit presidents to use military force without first getting congressional approval. If that were unconstitutional then the laws should have been changed, but they’re allowed to stand, so it’s basically not. It’s a bit of a silly thing to try to impeach over. The precedence of that being constitutional is massive.

Waymo is also a silicon valley AI project to put transit workers out of work. It’s another project to get AI money and destroy labor rights. At least it kind of works isn’t exactly helping my opinion of it. Transit is incredibly underfunded and misregulated in California/the USA and robotaxis are a criminal misinvestment in resources.
