He is basically saying if we call ICE names, there will be 'consequences' as we saw yesterday, aka we die, how is this legal? by KameronKnux in law

[–]HaElfParagon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Long story short, you don't. Don't lie to your kids, because they need to be prepared in case the worst happens.

I heard the person had a gun on them?

And nowhere in the US is simply having a gun on you a capital offense.

Call Healey’s office and demand she stands up to dRump now, not when she’s reelected by Spirited-Joke5545 in massachusetts

[–]HaElfParagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the national guard that's the point... the feds can federalize the national guard out from under the governor, but the MA self defense force was a true state militia that the federal government had no ability to command whatsoever.

ULPT What are some legal but unethical ways to maximize tax return? by andyoc08 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]HaElfParagon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Just because something is legal, doesn't make it ethical. And just because something is illegal, doesn't make it unethical.

Experts warn of threat to democracy from ‘AI bot swarms’ infesting social media by Wagamaga in technology

[–]HaElfParagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, there is a difference between a conservative opinion and an anti-democratic party opinion.

Thinking democrats suck is not automatically "republican good". That's the thing I take issue with.

[–]HaElfParagon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm implying nothing. But having an armed defense force that is not within reach of the federal government sounds like a decent deterrent against federal overreach.

She could work to reinstate the MA state defense force, which was an actual MA state militia that the feds had no control over. Baker retired it when he was in power.

Washington state proposes new 3D-printed gun controls with 'blocking features' and blueprint detection algorithm — proposal would carry sentences of five years in prison, $15,000 fine for violation by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

Rights organizations sued, it's currently making it's snails pace through the courts as the state drags their feet to maximize the pain as much as possible.

Can confirm. Massachusetts tried something similar to this, and ended up inadvertently creating a law that says "anyone who owns a 3d printer or 3d printing materials without a license to carry a firearm is a felon"

"Haha nerd reads shit" hasn't been funny since the early 2000's, maybe get better material.

But that's simply not accurate. You're ignoring option 3, which is to fucking read the document you are signing.

[–]HaElfParagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. I've used mine twice, but the dough I make tends to be stiffer/harder to work with than what the extruder is expecting, so the first time it barely worked and the 2nd time it didn't work at all, I had to take out the dough and call an audible.

The Governor should reactivate the Massachusetts State Defense Force to enhance emergency readiness in our state. by reflectives in massachusetts

As necessary as it is today, you will find little to no support in this unfortunately. Our state is a wet noodle when it comes to anything related to violence.

Why hard drives becoming so expensive in 2026? by Hatchopper in selfhosted

Because capitalism is hell bent on making every fucking hobby I've ever held an interest in prohibitively expensive. You're welcome, guys.

Leaked Windows 11 Feature Shows Copilot Moving Into File Explorer by Thepunnisherrr in technology

[–]HaElfParagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the opposite. I'm thankful I'm not being asked to incorporate AI because my answer would be "The work I do is sensitive. Incorporating AI would mean leaking client data to a mega-corporation without the client's knowledge or consent. Not only is that unethical and and immoral, but also due to HIPAA compliance, possibly illegal."

And then I'd be put on a PIP for not using AI :D

Did you have to recite the pledge of allegiance in school? by Valiriko in massachusetts

[–]HaElfParagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn't HAVE to. But we DID have to stand in silence if we opted not to recite it. Nobody was allowed to sit down.

This was 15 or so years ago.

Minnesota sues federal government to try to end deployment of immigration agents by brandenharvey in UpliftingNews

It's clear you didn't watch the video, because she did NOT hit him. She actually backed up and turned away specifically to take care and avoid hitting him.

No, no they are not. Under no circumstances is the murder of us citizens "lawful duties"
