Ok, but that’s still in the realm of freedom of speech. I’m not saying it’s ok that Trump got elected, and I’m my saying I’m ok with the situation we’re in now. I’m just saying that stupid people saying stupid things is not the part of this that should be changed through violence.
You’re right about Hitler, but Kirk wasn’t Hitler in this analogy.
The world is probably a better place without him, but as far as I understand it all he did was say a bunch of stupid stuff.
It definitely is a consequence of his own actions. I just think that’s a separate thing.
His ear is fine.
The thing is, feeling empathy for him isn’t for him. It’s not about what the victim would have wanted or what he would have done if the roles were reversed.
It’s a reaction that you feel because you know what it’s like to be a person.
When it comes right down to it, people should have the right to be stupid and say stupid things. I hate watching my country collapse around me, and you can certainly draw a line from this asshole to our current situation, but words shouldn’t be punished by death.
I get why it happened and why people are celebrating, but he wasn’t one of the ones with blood on his hands. Figuratively, I mean.
shot at trump.
If they blocked it now, people would just sideload it.
Ohh. They’re not even texting each other. They’re texting two other dudes. That makes a lot more sense.
I guess we’re supposed to look at the guy on the left and instead of thinking “He is in distress,” we’re supposed to think, “He is unfuckable.” And we’re supposed to look at the guy on the right and instead of thinking, “He is going to fuck that other guy,” we’re supposed to think, “He is so fuckable.”
I think it’s gay either way you look at it.
Ugh. This makes me like my nuclear family less.
Here’s a version of this where he has smaller hands.
Right. There was an Australian redditor who made his living selling handmade wallets, but he had to shut it down because the price just went up $80 per wallet. Fucking idiotic.
Right. I was thinking of the suspension of the de minimis exemption. Because that’s an $80 fee that the exporter does have to pay, if I understand it correctly.
Now that’s a lot more ominous and wasn’t mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
Oh, duh. I’m embarrassed I got it confused. I was thinking that the cost is passed on to the importer, but it’s actually paid by the importer.
So that would mean that the Trump tariffs were sending American money overseas for no reason. I doubt it’ll actually happen, but holy shit is Trump an incompetent idiot.
I read the description, and it doesn’t seem that bad. It denounces nationalism and prejudice. Doesn’t seem to align with Thiel’s current philosophy.
I’ve got two kids and a full time job. Every day is not a learning opportunity.
The reason we need freedom of speech from the government is because the government has a monopoly on violence. The root of it is whether or not violence is an acceptable response to speech.
When people say “freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences”, they’re not typically referring to murder as one of the consequences. You can see why that would be a slippery slope if they were.
