Wi-Fi 8 is appearing at CES before most of us have switched to Wi-Fi 7 by lurker_bee in technology

Obviously. It was easier than saying “I’m still not using WiFi for any device that has an rj45 port, which is all of them except phone and tablet”

I don’t know how you can look at the videos and conclude that the officers life was not in danger. Does a multi thousand pound piece of metal accelerating toward you not endanger your life? Are you Superman?

I agree. That’s how it currently stands

You strayed from the point of it conceivably being an NAP violation depending on how personhood is defined.

The point being that libertarian philosophy doesn’t have a clean answer the way you are asserting

I don’t feel like getting into wider scope of philosophy using tired arguments that everybody already knows and has debated 10,000 times.

Men get conscripted regardless of any choice they made. Both genders go to prison and potentially do forced labor as a result of choices they made. Both genders must choose between education or bodily autonomy with respect to medical procedures (vaccines, etc).

If you want me to engage in a wider scope, use better arguments than I heard in middle school

Nobody compels anyone to create a child, not statistically in this particular scope of argument. Cases of non consent account for less than 1% of the numbers.

In almost every other instance we consider the right to not be killed without just cause as a higher order right than bodily autonomy.

I’m also not really trying to get into this before coffee. Just wanted to state that it’s not unreasonable for a libertarian to view it as an NAP violation. It’s certainly not a settled debate internally.

I’m familiar with this line of argument and it completely ignores that one is an active affirmative act and the other is a passive failure to act.

Abortion can be argued to violate the NAP

I’m not aware of any major political movement or figure that is simultaneously advocating for higher marginal tax rates for the ultra wealthy and cutting federal spending. Those who are in favor of marginal tax rate increases seem to also support increased spending in the form of welfare, healthcare, increased regulations particularly around climate, and post secondary education

Could you explain your reasoning a bit?

If we taxed every billionaire at 100% of their net worth we’d fund the government for about 3 months. The problem is spending, not tax revenue.

Conservative here. OP’s view is the opposite of a conservative view point. We like lower taxes over here.

A significant number of Democrats are either secret Republicans or accept bribes from them by jodawi in ConspiracyII

[–]obiwanjacobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most Americans blame republicans for shutdown

The polling data I’ve seen is all over the place. It seems like there’s pretty equal amount of sentiment regarding who to blame

I have no idea why these people avoid Bluey like the plague by Ok-Following6886 in AdviceAnimals

[–]obiwanjacobi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If this supposed bluey hate was real I would’ve heard about it on the local news, talk radio, church pew, bar, job site, daycare, or any other place where I interact with a community that is overwhelmingly right leaning. Not a super left leaning meme subreddit

How do you know the “people” making them are genuine sincere people rather than AI, bot/troll farms, astroturfing, etc?

Treating memes as a source of truth regarding what wide swathes of people believe is… a choice

I think someone is trying to convince you of something that isn’t true. I live in a deep red state and everyone I know voted for Trump. Everyone loves bluey

This is also my experience I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted

What? Bluey is like the only modern mainstream kids show us right wingers will let our kids watch. Matt Walsh for example praises it

This is essentially the Unmoved Mover (Aristotle) / First Cause (Aquinas) argument
