I am absolutely not an Apple Stan. I hate Apple. I’m on Linux for a reason, and my phone is running Android (which I also hate, but whatever). You’re reasoning was just bad.

You could say the same about puting in golf. Reading the ground is a huge part of it. It’s something good players do and bad players don’t.

Sure, as you do with any software. A computer is always looking at your data and input. That’s how it works. Unless you audit it yourself, you have to take someone else’s word it isn’t doing something it isn’t supposed to.

I agree that most of these safety bans are stupid. Lawn darts though? I don’t see a reason for the old version. Sure, without a dart it may bounce, but that becomes part of the game. It’s like some saying horseshoes is ruined because they bounce sometimes. Or curling is ruined because the stone slides too far. It’s just more skill that’s needed to account for the fact it could bounce.

I think that’s their point. Israel attacked one of our ships and we insisted it was an accident and didn’t do anything about it.

To be fair, I don’t even like football but I think that’s be cool. If I had that kind of influence to do that, I might do it too. That’s not the psycho part.

The idea that a kid will be influenced by a hijab or a cross is also total bullshit .

Do you think no kid has really liked a teacher and done things to get them to like them? I promise you, there are children who got into a religion, a hobby, etc. because a teacher they wanted to impress was into it.

The real issues that should be addressed in extremist messages in places of cult like a imam who would support terrorism or a synagogues that sell occupied land in the west bank

I mostly disagree with this. Which definition of terrorism are we using? The problem is the state gets to define whatever they want as terrorism, so they can target dissidents. Why does the state get a monopoly on terrorism/violence? (As proof of the term being bullshit to target people, why did use use an Imam for your example? Biased?)

People should be allowed to do and say what they want in private. If they’re a public official, they shouldn’t use that platform to lend credibility to other organizations/faiths. That’s not the place for it.

I assume that’s what they meant. Not that it’s automatically uploaded, and the QR code takes you there. The QR code takes you to a page where you can upload it.

The argument for it is to remove hate and division. The purpose of them is to act as a shibboleth, to identify yourself as part of an in-group. That necessarily requires division. If you make it harder for people to show their affiliation with exclusive groups then it makes it more inclusive.

This doesn’t make them not allowed to follow a religion. It just makes them not allowed to share identifiers of that religion to children. Children are easily influenced, and having authority figures identities with religion lends that authority and authenticity to that religion, influencing the children.

How the fuck do you win that lawsuit? I really want to hear their arguments.

I had the idea to use an old phone as a server recently. Phones are pretty energy efficient, so it seems like it’d be a smart way to recycle one. Does anyone know if this is actually a good practical idea for a lightweight personal server, rather than just a novelty? I haven’t heard of anyone doing it before so I’m assuming there’s a reason it isn’t a good idea, but I don’t know what that’d be.

I think it should, but I don’t think it does. The first definition that shows up when I search the word: “The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry.” It explicitly excludes fish, though I do think poultry is generally considered meat, so maybe this isn’t perfect. Every definition that is about flesh from a creature seems to exclude fish though.

The distinction of fish not being meat is the reason why the pescetarian diet exists. It’s a diet next to vegetarian, but allows fish. The don’t eat “meat.”

Fun fact! In English, the word meat does not include fish (at least usually). You can thank the Catholics for that one.

Yeah, if people kept eating steak at the same rate, but reduced or stopped eating all the garbage meat, they and the world would be a healthier happier place. I’m not against eating meat, but I am against they typical western, especially American, focus on eating so much of it.

Yeah, absolutely. It specifically says “a well regulated militia.” It meant militias could keep armories of weapons for their members to use. It didn’t mean every random person would have one at their house. If they meant citizens being armed they would have written that.

Defenestration? In this economy? Windows are to expensive to waste on Fascists. Let’s use something more environmentally and economically friendly and reusable.

Yeah, it doesn’t though. The second amendment says nothing like that. It says militias can have weapons to defend the state from enemies. It does not say citizens can fight tyrants controlling the state, despite what a lot of media would lead you to believe.

It’s really short. Read it, and read it critically. Don’t try to read what you’ve already been told.

Some of our founders wrote and spoke about fighting tyrants, but there’s not like a constitutional protection for it or anything like that.

Bo they fucking don’t. If they did football would be a far less popular sport in the US, for example. They care about a few specific things that fit their (leader’s) politics.

This wouldn’t be “defending it” like a copyright claim. This would be suing for damages. It doesn’t matter how much they care about the brand. They’d sue to get money based on a loss of potential sales (future and present) and any other harm done.

I could see them not wanting to rock the boat, but I don’t think it’s a smart play. They’ll go down either way if the Fascists want, and they clearly don’t care about them enough to not damage them.

I’ve had pickle pizzas, and honestly they’re great. They work for a similar reason pineapple does. The sour and sweet compliments the salty fatty flavors. Done correctly, these can be great. Anyone who thinks, for example, pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza doesn’t really understand flavor balance. It just needs to be on the right pizza with the right proportions. You’re not wrong for not liking it, but you are wrong for saying it doesn’t work without trying it.
