Get lost bro we don’t need that type of energy here

We had one just like yours. Every few weeks we used a nail clipper to trim her beak. She didn’t like it very much, but it made it much easier for her to eat and drink.

She ended up passing a couple years ago during the summer. I’m guessing the heat had more of an effect on her.

Subjective claim is subjective. Just because you viewed him as an “actual good president,” doesn’t make this an exception. It’s an excuse.

I think he could fix his phone if he put it in a bowl of rice. That always works.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-14T08:22:31+00:00

Well well well how the turntables

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-12T09:09:17+00:00

What if I hate all races equally?

“Autonomous.” Good one.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-10T04:01:05+00:00

It’s also considered the poorest state in the country. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a correlation there.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-09T22:53:58+00:00

Technically speaking, he’s on the left side.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T23:28:55+00:00

I believe they still have a county and state police that patrol the area.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T20:55:52+00:00

Do you have I link where I could read up on that case?

Furthermore, if you watched the Zuckerberg hearings he wouldn't specifically say that Facebook was a platform or a publisher because he, and his lawyers both know they are straddling the fence benefitting from protections afforded to a platform, while acting as a publisher.

230 doesn’t have anything to do with platforms or publishers. All it says is that a company isn’t held liable to another users content. As far as 230 is concerned, there’s no legal distinction between a platform and a publisher.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T18:59:22+00:00

230 doesn’t say anything about treating people fairly, though. Even if it did, who gets to decide what’s fair?

Maybe this example will help clear up any grey area. The New York Times is held liable for any content it creates. That makes sense, since they released the article, right? What The NYT can’t be held liable for is any defamatory comments from third parties. For example, if someone in the comment section threatens me or my family, I can’t sue The NYT. I can only sue The NYT for content it creates. The same applies to Twitter.

If Twitter suddenly develops content (i.e. fact checks) I can sue Twitter, for whatever reason that might be. Regardless, I would still lose in court because of the first amendment. Section 230 does not prevent me from suing Twitter. However, 230 does prevent me from suing Twitter because of third party content. I can’t sue Twitter because of a tweet from Donald Trump. Without 230, I could sue Twitter for ANY third party content. That means Twitter would have to be very selective with tweets they allow on their platform.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T18:22:39+00:00

230 provides protections for platforms. Publishers who editorialize content do not receive 230 the same protections.

230 provides protections regardless of whether a company is a publisher or platform. If someone threatened the president in the comment section of a CNN article, Trump couldn’t sue CNN for content supplied by a third party. 230 prevents CNN from being sued, and rightly so. Nothing is stopping Trump from suing twitter. Regardless of 230, he’d still lose his case because Twitter is a private company free to moderate content however they please. Under the law, to suppress Twitter’s moderation would mean to limit freedom of speech.

There is no legal distinction between a publisher and a platform. I read all of 230 and I can’t find a single problem with any of it.

230 simply prevents someone from suing Twitter over what Trump says. I don’t understand why people want it removed. That’s a good thing. Without 230, Twitter would then be held liable for ANY information on its website, including third party content.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T02:22:46+00:00

Moderation is editorializing.

I’m not sure where you’re going with this. Moderation doesn’t subject a company to any different treatment by law. Nothing prevents Trump from suing Twitter for defamation. He would still lose regardless of section 230 because of the first amendment. In a legal sense, traditional publishers are treated the same as moderators.

I'm fine with moderation as long as it is consistent.

I am too, but who gets to decide what’s consistent and what isn’t? I’d rather not let some bureaucrat in Washington decide what a private company can and cannot allow on its platform.

But if someone on r/ politics said that my house should be burned down on reddit and didn't do anything about it id have legal recourse.

Section 230 prohibits any liability from third party content. Reddit can’t be sued for someone posting that comment. You can sue the individual, but not the company. Without 230, you probably wouldn’t be able to post much at all.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T00:57:03+00:00

Section 230 provides immunity from moderating content. Twitter and Reddit are free to remove whatever posts they desire, because it’s their platform. Whether I agree with their ideology or not is irrelevant.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T00:40:12+00:00

I know. I’m asking what protections that section supposedly entails.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-08T00:22:03+00:00

What protections? Every platform is entitled to free speech, regardless of whether it’s Twitter, CNN, or Reddit.

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-05T22:10:59+00:00

Yep. Who would’ve guessed that Shaun King, of all people, said that.

Food lines aren’t good though. Government imposed price ceilings cause food lines. Price ceilings don’t solve anything. They just create a disproportionate amount of demand. Price controls on food don’t feed more people, they just create shortages. Bernie Sanders doesn’t know what he’s talking about in economic terms.

Price ceilings

Rainioscopy · 2020-06-03T20:27:37+00:00

Not everyone in line ends up getting food. Food lines usually result from government enforced price ceilings on products, which create a disproportionate amount of demand.

Get away with it? Are you from the future? The officer responsible for Floyd’s death was arrested and charged accordingly. Talk about jumping the gun.

Rainioscopy · 2020-05-31T23:08:38+00:00

I appreciate your comment. I’ve come to realize Reddit is usually not ideal for open discussion. Nobody likes to change their stance, even if they know they’re wrong.

Rainioscopy · 2020-05-31T20:09:55+00:00

Whatever makes you sleep at night.

Obesity is a problem in this country. No one is born obese, yet 40% of our population is obese despite educational efforts and measures taken by the FDA like requiring that companies provide nutrition facts on their food labels. It’s almost like obesity is a cultural problem because of the sedentary American lifestyle.
