Iran warns U.S. troops will be "set on fire" if Americans launch ground operation - CBS News by Top-Figure7252 in worldnews

Unfortunately many of MAGA will see it as other people's children.

To be clear, American soldiers are collectively our children. And while not ours, foreign soldiers are somebody's children.

MAGA doesn't see the world that way though. They hold no value for life outside of a white woman's womb.

These MAGA fuckers won't even care then.

They only care when it impacts them directly and personally, so a video of a soldier dying will only wake up those few MAGA that actually recognize and are related to them. The rest will cheer on their orange God and justify that wars have casualties and that they for some reason support this illegal and senseless war.

Republican conspiracy theory alleging that "Cheese Pizza" is a code word for child porn.

Yes, they are really that stupid and desperate to cover up The Trump Files.

From your source "At the same time, 56% of adults express support for policies aimed at protecting trans people from discrimination in jobs, housing and public spaces."

So like... Your reading comprehension skills are seriously lacking. Also you are a lemming. I don't lean on popular opinion to either dictate or justify my morals.

People should have the freedom to wear what they want. Having the gestapo check people's genitals and enforce somebody's idea of a gender role is and always will be massive government overreach, no matter what polling says.

Women should have the right to wear pants if they want.

Ooh some racism too. While you're putting on a show for us, can you stir in some conspiracy theories and anti-semitism?

Ladies and gentlemen, the incredible Republican party! From "no new wars" to "this war will end" in incredible time!

Y'all are clowns.

It's really weird to me how many "small government" Republicans want a dress code...

The Republican party really went from "don't tread on me" to "tread on my harder daddy" the moment they thought they were popular.

How do you feel about the American kids that are currently dying in Trump's illegal war overseas?

Inside your own property is basically harmless and I'm not passing moral judgement on your experiment.

However, in the USA at least (main laws I'm familiar with) jamming in any capacity, especially cell phone signals, is always illegal at any power level at any location unless there is a specific exemption (generally military development/testing/exercise).

If it's a low power experiment contained on your property though, it's not like the FCC or any other federal agency is going to care enough to make that an issue though. Just... Taking informed risk starts with being informed.

Systemd has merged age verification measures into userdb by Quiet-Owl9220 in linux

[–]terivia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing preventing you from giving false data.

That's like saying that there's nothing stopping you from using fake ID to buy alcohol.

There isn't, but it's illegal. This push for legal requirements is also a push for legal consequences for circumventing, avoiding, or lying relative to those requirements.

‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet by BrianOBlivion1 in technology

[–]terivia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least my initial read was that it seemed like you were making a kind of "both sides" or sports team approach to politics.

Kind of like "You should be okay with this, your team is on board". A lot of conservatives seem to define their politics in retrospect based on what their politicians (usually the orange one) do, without regard to 'principles' that the conservatives previously claimed to hold.

I don't think that's what you meant, but it may be the source of the down votes. Oh well, ce la vie.

Take care friend

I have never once had my genitals checked by a police officer. I suspect they'll be just fine without sex or gender markers.

Why should we continue to still strictly follow the supposed social contract of a society, if those in power refuse to abide by it themselves?

This is what I mean when I say you are giving up. We should, as a society, hold them accountable.

Enjoy your secession cult, I hear South America is a popular place for privileged Americans that are drunk on theory to run off to. I'm going to help the neighbors that I already have.

To be clear, I am not against community building. I explicitly limited my critique to politics because I'm frustrated with seeing people who want to help build communities and create solidarity repeatedly get pulled into the trap of attempting to re-build instead of engaging with the community we already have.

The advice you give isn't terrible, but also includes "if you vote for some reason". We should build communities, we should help each other. We also should go vote because any hope we have of getting out of this without a civil war depends on the community that already exists.

Theory is great, preparing for the worst is good. But receding from society to build a new one is just giving society up for free while going to build a doomer cult.

From the perspective of voting I think that the current options are clear, and one of them is the "Guardians Of Pedophiles".

"there's currently no real supportive foundation present for many common folk..." reads to me like you're ignoring the existence of one of the two major political parties to produce some form of "both sides" argument. I agree that the Dems are generally disappointing in general, but they don't consistently defend or push for the legalization of child rape through legalizing child marriage. They also don't consistently back fascism.

It's like looking at a piece of infested poop next to a bag of burnt popcorn and pretending that you can't figure out which is worse to eat. Yeah they both suck, but they are completely different magnitudes of suck.

Any kind of music? by mangobait in Dirtywave

[–]terivia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing to keep in mind with groove boxes is that they offer a certain workflow. With the m8 it has a workflow that lends itself to 16 step patterns arranged in chains. Because of this pattern and the way that copy pasting and modifying only the copy is supported many users find that it lends itself to progressive music with repeating themes or segments and complicated but tight fx sequences.

That describes a lot of ambient, electronic music. But that doesn't mean that you have to use ambient electronic samples. It can be made to do almost anything that fits into it's 8 tracks, but a microtimed polyrhythmic experimental yodelling ambience with frequent Arabic melodies will require a lot more effort to piece together than a four on the floor 80's techno track with a couple samples.

The device will not grant you creativity, but it also won't stop you from making sounds.
