None of the choices here are good, but clearly bending over and letting Trump fuck everyone is worse than the alternatives. China is also not going to take this lying down and they have a lot of potential for damaging Trump because so much of the USA’s manufacturing is outsourced there and they can more easily compensate with other partners than Canada can. If Canada, China and Mexico stick to their guns, together, long enough for the American people to do something about this idiot, then things can still work out.

If a threat from an unelected foreign Nazi is all it takes to keep you from doing your job, you’re not fit to hold public office.

They can’t unless the parties agree that they can. The sneaky part is the “by continuing to use our services, you agree to the new terms” part, which is standard practice. You’d have to terminate your account before the new terms come into effect, then take them to court to make sure they didn’t keep your data around and use it to train their AI anyway because they “didn’t notice” that that particular content belonged to someone who didn’t accept the new terms.

Are you denying that it’s getting exponentially worse by the day?

Nothing suspicious at all about being contacted by the subject of a news story just to say it’s not newsworthy. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Then the few people who don’t are very prolific commenters because it’s a mistake I see often.

If “voters” means the same in both cases, why did you use numbers that specifically only apply to the last election to make a point?

Just because this is a common enough mistake, I’m going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.

It’s Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.

“Confiscate” sure is a weird way to spell “steal”.

Correct. When there isn’t enough bread to go around, it doesn’t really matter if everyone has money.

Maim America, Grift Americans

Rule 1 clearly says “posts have the following requirements”.

These are all valid points but they don’t preclude the existence of an open-source alternative to MBFC, which is what the commenter you replied to was asking.

You seem to be under the impression that this trial is going to be fair in any way. It’s a jury trial where the defendant is forbidden from talking to the press while the news media does its best to slander him to the public whenever the case is mentioned. Yes, in an ideal world you’d be right, but the people that need convincing of his guilt are going into the trial with their opinions half-formed against him and I guarantee you that the prosecution will veto any juror that seems like they understand proper standards for evidence.

So that the cops can beat black people and plant evidence, ovbiously.

That doesn’t matter, though. He isn’t being charged with manufacturing an illegal firearm so the prosecution does not have the burden of proving that he did so. Likewise, if he is being charged with gun trafficking, they still don’t need to prove where he got the illegal gun from, just that he had it.

And he’s being charged with terrorism, for fuck’s sake. Do you really think the standard for evidence at this trial will be a fair one? The prosecution is likely to get away with hearsay while the defense will be expected to provide DNA evidence from the actual killer as well as his parents and grandparents to get the case dismissed.

To be fair, there is probably at least one unloved person who isn’t a CEO.

“Voters” doesn’t mean “people who voted in the most recent election” but “people who are registered to vote” so the other commenter is correct.

It’s because if you think you’re gay and kiss the same gender then discover you weren’t actually gay, you become tainted forever and upon death your soul turns into a cold sore in someone’s mouth instead of going to the Promised Land to play the harp with everyone else. Or something that makes about as much sense as that.

You’re absolutely correct. Some people “just know” and stay thay way, some “just know” and change, and some take a while to find out. There is absolutely no reason why that should be a problem.

My brother knew he wanted to be a doctor when he was five and he stuck with it. I’m 36 and I still wonder if I chose the right profession. Why is this considered normal for what you want to work with but not who you want to be with?
