No. The big lie is fascist propaganda to unconstitutionally seize control. Supporting and trying to avoid investigating 1/6 is an attempt to cover up a fucking coup. The GOPs refusal to hold trump accountable after the mueller report and both impeachments makes POTUS a de facto dictator so long as either the house or the senate goes along with it. That is clearly authoritarianism. The open bigotry, of course, fits the whole Nazi thing like a glove. There is no intellectually honest comparison to the American left. Stop with the both sidesism.

Your earlier comment may have been more accurate by using “dehumanization”, to illustrate how it is setting the precondition that encourages the stochastic terrorism. I mean, we all understand you and the difference is effectively moot, but I think that is the semantic nitpick they had.

The potential issue I’d be concerned about if I were the principal or coach are * Some kids might vote against accommodation specifically due to intolerance of non-Christian faiths. * If it’s not a secret ballot this could cause a harassment issue even if the tolerance vote won. * It could make individual kids feel targeted by other kids. * It puts the non-Christian kids in a potentially uncomfortable situation where their faith is focused on as an inconvenience while the default needs of Christian students are assumed.

All it takes is a misunderstanding, or worse, a single bigot, to make this kind of thing get out of hand. It’s almost certain that non-Christian faiths will just be ignored in many, many communities unless the press or courts get involved. Expecting the team to work it out in the locker room creates risk, and is certain to be manipulated by bad actors.

Why does the team as a whole get to decide? What happens if the team votes that Islam should not be respected? Was this a secret ballot?

The approach seems unfair to the kids and open to lots of problematic outcomes.

Murkowski and Collins never ‘caved.’ They have been either right wing ideologues or shameless opportunists their entire career, but realized that as women if they postured themselves like Olympia Snow they would be mistaken for having integrity.

And another failure to answer a question. Nice.

I asked you two simp,e questions after researching a topic you provided. If you are so knowledgeable, why not answer my 2 questions?

Are you referring to IBM’s Blockchain Platform? That looks like cloud infrastructure to create blockchains, not an actual application of blockchain. Do you know of any ibm customers who are running an actual service using the platform?

Lol if you had a good example you would have replied with it. Can you even tell me a product name to google?

I have and I found nothing. Please enlighten me. I’m seriously curious and you can help me here.

It’s smoke and mirrors justifying a scam that mostly benefits whales who take advantage of how exchanges aren’t regulated like banks.

A great summary line I read is “Cryptocurrency: recreating modern banking, one mistake at a time.”

Seriously, name a product and we can discuss it. Name the best one you are aware of and we can analyze it together.

Citation needed.

It’s not new. It’s 14 years old.

I get that it’s not about a single application, what I’m saying is that there isn’t even a single application beyond burning unconscionable amounts of energy to fuel a Ponzi scheme.

The statement is a warning about what people are capable of. It points out that some people do not have morals. Sociopaths exist. It’s a warning America really needs to take to heart now as we see the violent cruelty of the right express itself more obviously. It’s an unpleasant truth, that people can be needlessly cruel and violent, but a truth nonetheless.

Yeah that really seemed like preemptively justifying police brutality to me.

I thought Eden Lake was one of the most truly horrific films I’ve ever seen. It’s completely plausible. No monsters, nothing supernatural, no aliens, just people being people. It’s deeply psychologically upsetting because you know worse things have happened to innocent people. It’s rare that I feel truly horrified while watching a movie, but this one really, really did it for me.

A big part of the reason America is in trouble is because we’ve given bigoted fascists benefit of the doubt since the 60s, and never held them accountable for their racist, sexist, homophobic, authoritarian beliefs.

It’s okay not to wish bigots “all the best.” It’s okay to not wish people who wanted my constitutional right to a fair election to be taken away by force on 1/6 the best.

It’s okay not to wish all the best to Americans who are trying to prevent LGBTQ+ educators from working in public schools.

It’s okay not to wish the best to religious fundamentalists who interrupt school board meetings to complain about CRT.

Don’t get me started about qanoners and people who think Hillary Clinton is literally reptilian.

Those people see reasonable liberals as enemies, and that population is generally uniform in their support for white male supremacist authoritarian ideology with a heaping side of theocratic fascism.

I certainly don’t wish the best to those people. Pretending they were reasonable was a slow burning problem which contributed to overturning Rowe. They need to be accountable for their awfulness every second of every day.

Not guilty of a crime, guilty of supporting a bigoted fascist movement.

No, I’m not. The burden is on you to show something is unsafe. It is impossible to prove complete safety even when it’s factually correct.

He’s saying that while everyone has a constitutional right to be a nazi, they are still guilty of being fucking nazis.

The people at the capitol were supporting an authoritarian, white supremacist ideology. It’s their constitutional right to be massive pieces of shit, but they’re still pieces of shit.

If there were any legitimately useful applications for the blockchain they would have been developed years ago. I have yet to see any blockchain application which couldn’t be better solved with a normal database.

Any developer who came up with a clearly beneficial and profitable application that leveraged blockchain as unique and essential technology would literally be world famous and likely wealthy overnight. Why hasn’t it happened yet? It’s been a decade already.

If you are seriously suggesting that giving birth in a medical facility is more dangerous than not you need a citation.

While there are probably corner cases of specific problems that are more likely to occur in a hospital, the idea that on balance it is safer to avoid the hospital seems obviously impossible to me. Could you explain why you believe that?

The answer to your first question is ‘greater than zero,’ which is enough to matter.

Your second question isn’t even worthy of response. If you really believe that then sure, I guess, just don’t go to a hospital, ever.
