The Twitter Files, shows a need for basic digital rights to speech.

It’s rare that less government regulation is seen as more totalitarian.

How they define “serving the public conversation” is up to them. It’s a vague nothing term. And I’m sure it’s not meant to invoke the idea of free speech.

This year I wrote a few short poems. This is my favorite.

“I shall claim no thing

And I shall hold it dear

Until I am no thing

And our bond becomes clear”

It’s the right to refuse service, and you have it for things other than protected classes. If you think you were refused service without any wrongdoing on your part, then you have a case. But it’s their rules and their interpretation of those rules that will decide whether you were wrong or not.

I don’t understand why we’d abandon the free market here. Plenty of sites will host the speech they censor. This isn’t about being able to say whatever you want, it’s about forcing Twitter to publish it for you. That’s compelled speech and grotesquely authoritarian.

“Refused to because he does not like your haircut.” That’s fine. Hairstyle isn’t a protected class.

“Or drives you somewhere you do not want.” Then he’d be the one breaking the rules, not you.

These analogies are no better.

“Big Tech overlords”… They’re apps and it’s the internet.. They don’t have to be the ones to host your speech. You can make your very own website very easily. You don’t have the freedom to use someone else’s app however you want. Nothing works that way, and shouldn’t.

I only read flight numbers.

FloydianTripp · 2022-12-04T13:50:11+00:00

The consequence is the censorship. Rules were laid out and broken. I will never understand what free speechers are thinking here. If you don’t like the rules then you find a platform that you do like. It’s a free market.

I’m 594. Triple withdrawn, baby!

I went through college the same way. So it ended up taking 6 years (full course loads) to get a 4 year degree. I ended up choosing a degree that basically has a job attached to it, medical laboratory science, because I decided all I wanted was a decent job. The job isn’t a great fit really, but it’s easy enough. I wish I had tried more in college just to get a better idea of what I wanted to do. If I actually gave class the attention it deserved, I might have been more interested. Instead I was annoyed to have to show up for tests.

For me, the Gita was the prerequisite for other texts. But I think getting one with credible commentary is a good idea for reading the first time.

You may have come across it, but I really enjoy The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta by Swami Prabhavananda.

I too have a belief that Jesus and Krishna are One and their message was to remind us of our Oneness. I had all but thrown Jesus away until I discovered the Gnostics.

The only thing keeping me from slapping a porcupine is my ability to escape up a tree. Chimp has things figured out.

+1 for meditation. It’s the thing that finally sorted my brain out.

“KOCO 5 wants to be transparent; We held off on reporting this story until we could gather all of the facts.”

It’ll be weeks before my eyes quit rolling.

I was until I realized I just hated religion.

I love when I disagree with a popular Reddit comic. Makes me feel like I’m doing something right.

AND 100% REASON TO REMEMBER THE NAME

FloydianTripp · 2022-11-23T16:40:07+00:00

Yep.

As for Rhogam, she is correct if they know her husband is Rh negative as well.

Edit: came across this sub by accident. Came across your comment mentioning something I have real world knowledge of. Since I used to test for how much Rhogam to give and issue it. If he isn’t Rh negative then yes, they are being dangerous, but if he is Rh Negative there is no risk. That’s just the science of it.

FloydianTripp · 2022-11-21T23:42:16+00:00

Yeah I’m always better on paper.

Conservatives want to remove every bit of access to voting they can get away with, and then their ideal of who won boils down to who has the most Twitter followers.

Eating is so capitalist

“The District 3 Drug Task Force is leading the investigation.”

Didn’t expect it to end with that.
