Weird to segue directly from arguing that cluster munitions are illegal into claiming that the legality of weapons doesn’t matter, but okay

Yeah this seems common. I had a friend who grew up with parents who alternated between English, Portuguese, Italian, and French, and he told me he wound up not being able to speak at all until he was over 2 years old. It didn’t affect him badly later on, and he always insisted it was worth it
I know he’s a liar. But lying about those things can’t resonate with his supporters the way this could. This was almost a core campaign slogan, it’s a downright meme. A denial that he supported it ought to be a much more obvious lie than the others
This is a new tier of cognitive dissonance, even for Trump. I mean he literally got crowds chanting “lock her up!” Hopefully this is the icing on the cake of his felony convictions and gets a few more people to break out of the cult.
I’m no expert either but as I understand it, the core service they are most well known for is protection against DDOS attacks. By routing traffic first to Cloudflare before sending it to the intended destination, it can try to check to make sure that whatever it’s routing isn’t coming from a botnet or whatever.
Just as dumb? I’d argue they’re far dumber, that’s part of why they’re sociopaths who’ll do anything for a larger pile of money
I’m on voyager and it still takes up quite a bit of real estate. Wish there were an option for it not to open at all unless I tap it
Nope, it’s just that way by default. Drives me nuts too.
While simultaneously opposing any form of gun control so they can fight… something?
Apparently the only protest worth anything is one where you’re shooting at someone
Used to be if I found the site of a newspaper I thought I liked, I’d turn off my ad blocker to see how it goes.
I don’t even try any more. Again and again and again, every time I turn it off the page gets so cluttered that following the article becomes a chore and takes up so many resources that even scrolling slows to a crawl. Ludicrous nonsense.
Exercises on lichess are one of my favorite ways to kill time. Haven’t played a real game in years but I love the low pressure of running through little scenarios, even if I can’t always grasp why the computer thinks a particular line is optimal lol
(And you can do a bunch of them offline)
They’re still taking something they didn’t make and selling it as though they did. I have every right to write and film a Batman movie, spend as much time I want making it professional, and then show it to people, as long as I don’t charge them for it. That doesn’t give Fox or whoever the right to take my movie and charge for it instead. Even if I did break the law by making people pay for it, the actual owners would only be entitled to that money, not to go make mroe money off of it themselves. It’s still my work even if it uses concepts invented by someone else.
There’s a reason every franchise under the sun has mountains of fanart and fanfic without the companies that own them trying to take control of it: it’s blatantly illegal.
This girls team was winning because the boys haven’t gone through puberty yet. Not saying it was ok to ban them, but it’s false to claim that differences in bone mass and muscle density are imaginary. It just doesn’t happen until after puberty.
And chess isn’t exactly segregated by gender. The women’s league exists to make women in chess more visible, to make it easier to pursue sponsorships, and to encourage more women to join the game. But women are free to compete in the “men’s” category (which is actually called the “open” category), and often do. The reasons women haven’t gotten to the top of it yet are cultural; women are discouraged from starting to play the game at a young age as all the top players do, and so far fewer women attempt the climb in the first place. But it will happen eventually.
Now if you want to talk about how transphobic FIDE is, there’s some real merit in those accusations. Their rules around people who are transitioning are nonsensical, punishing people for absolutely no reason. But the women’s league itself exists for good reasons.
No, that is exactly the over-broad, willy-nilly, tossed-around definition they were talking about. Gaslighting has a much more insidious context than simply making someone question themselves. It means doing it on purpose; intentionally lying to someone and trying to convince them that they’re crazy. Like if I said I was going to the grocery and then when I came back with nothing, I insisted I never said that. Or if i borrowed $50 and when it came time to pay you back, I try to tell you I only borrowed $25. It’s inherently deceptive and cruel.
Calling them “the aughts” is also the best way I’ve found to refer to that decade
Even then they failed by not dropping “says”
Won’t work. Guarantee the courts will rule that embryos are only children in cases where medical personnel can be prosecuted. Aka only when they want.
Turns out logic doesn’t apply in cases where the ruling isn’t based on logic.
important distinction that it wasn’t the legislature that repealed abortion rights. it was a couple of true believers, unconcerned about reelection, that the party cheated the system to get them onto the supreme court. if they’d known their nominees were lying about their stances on roe, i doubt they’d have been confirmed.
I like that part of firefox’s summary was that it’s free. Uh, yeah, they all are. Thanks Mozilla!
I enjoy the idea that some shitass mason hated whatever king hired him, built all the stairs as quickly and poorly as possible, and then to save his ass later had to be all “oh hmm yes the stairs? That’s a feature actually” and somehow it winds up catching on
