Is this thing on?

  • It's just a bad joke about 'the out of the box experience not being great'.

  • [user banned for having an opinion that diverges from the group]

  • I'm annoyed that the reports seem to be written and redacted to prevent any hint of the companies involved.

  • Errors

    Jump
  • Finally, a programmer joke I get!

  • I'll take "things that haven't happened to me in years for a dollar Alex".

  • TBH it's more that I have a naive work ethic and assume someone performing such a serious and impactful job would only do so sincerely, but I agree.

  • To highlight how absolutely stupid this bill is, it sounds like it would outlaw menstruation and nocturnal emissions.

    Land of the free.

    Edit: it sounds like this is intentionally facetious to point out the absurdity of other pro-life bills.

  • where I should begin researching for the quality of e-bikes?

    I would start here.

  • What about ebikes?

  • Your dad ought to consider joining a divorcee support group.

    Your art is beautiful and I'm envious of your talent though.

  • They're out there. Many won't have overt support for volunteers, but if you call and inquire about volunteering they might say 'welcome aboard', or direct you where to go.

    Alternatively there are volunteer support orgs such as https://www.justserve.org/ that may help.

  • I have almost zero daily social interactions

    Volunteer with a cause you support. Very good way to get out of the house and meet people who you know share at least one similar interest while positively impacting the world. Joining local (chapters of) clubs is another way.

  • This image has been summarily removed in the past for 'advocating violence'. Based on the bat signal which has been used many times in the past as a general deterrent for crime when Batman was known to be out of commission. The parallel here, when Luigi is currently detained pending trial, is obvious and as such doesn't advocate violence and yet it is close enough the mods intervene.

  • reasonably believe to be the use or imminent use of unlawful physical force by such other person.

    Unfortunately, the CEO's threat to life is lawful which would preclude this defence. Not saying I don't support Luigi. Just that it is a good thing nullification exists.

  • That's easy. The moment the news reported the Americans had voted in a felon for president.

  • ... wut? "The personal website of a university"?

    What do you think 'as much as possible' meant in an era where they were ruled by one of the belligerents? Literacy is important indeed. The support he got was to protect local interests and not simply blind support for the Crown because the populace did not care to actually quell the American Rebellion, nor rebel themselves.

    edit: "[Guy Carleton] hoped that his policy of conciliation would bear fruit, but only the Canadian clergy (led by Catholic bishop of Québec, Mgr. Jean-Olivier Briand) and the nobility (lords) responded with any enthusiasm to the call by British authorities. The general public remained relatively indifferent, viewing the war as a 'battle between the English.'"

  • According to Nadine Strossen, the case was part of a gradual process in the 20th century where the Court strengthened First Amendment protections and narrowed down the application of earlier decisions which upheld restrictions of free speech, in part due to the realisation that the Illinois restrictions on Nazi "hate speech" were so broad they could have been equally used to prohibit Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrations in Skokie.

    People so quick to applaud censorship need to consider how their arguments can work against them to.
