If it becomes a democratic majority of the US who has attempted to assassinate the guy, it would be right to listen to them about who should be president. But not because of the assassination thing.

Guys, I hate to be controversial here, but maybe we can’t extrapolate anything valuable about politicians based on two incidents of attempted assassination. I don’t care about the opinions of these two crazy guys.

The CEO was just conspicuously spotted with one of these a couple weeks ago, looks like it was a marketing scheme as we suspected.

Reddit is like this too on the app. Some of the worst algorithm recommendations I’ve ever seen. “You like (your local city subreddit), you might also like (some city you don’t live in subreddit).” Why?

The worst is that is has ruined my porn account because it doesn’t recommend NSFW subs so I have to scrape past random unrelated garbage like the Pokémon card valuation subreddit and /r/cement, I counted and it went 40 posts between NSFW posts once. On my account that is exclusively subscribed to NSFW subs.

I kinda hate this framing because it makes it seem inevitable and ever-present. Even on the right it’s more like 5% true hate, 28% normal Republican who does not find true hate disqualifying. There’s plenty of reason to discredit that or disagree with it etc but it’s not the same as being in the 5%.

I was just listening to an interview with an evangelical who was lesser-of-two-evils on Trump, he’ll vote for Trump but he’s not a True Believer.

They weren’t, it was just the example at the furthest end of the spectrum. But your framing of “if it was REALLY bad, Twitter would ban it” can not be the solution. We have legitimate governments tasked with governing based on the will of the people, it’s not better to just let Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg decide the law.

We don’t dislike government censorship of CSAM. it’s all a spectrum based on the legitimacy of the government order and the legitimacy of the tech billionaire’s refusal to abide.

Here’s the thing about nation state governments. They can pass laws. It’s kind of the main thing they do.

It wasn’t like a law banning X. They were Court ordered to do something and they didn’t do it.

Could that happen in other countries? I mean sure but not the way you’re implying.

I paid $100 for a massive 1TB hard drive when they first came out years ago. Thought a TB was essentially unlimited and wasn’t sure if it could ever be used.

What a crazy advancement to get to 8TB the size of your pinky nail.
