This is our monthly "revolutionary battery" news item. There's always something wrong. Too big, too heavy, too few charge cycles, too slow to charge, too expensive, etc.
If we could only have less news about technology in it's early stages We must eliminate the media telling us anything until the technology is well and truly proven with a track record.
Sadly we can chalk up another 'win' to groupthink, oppression of minorities, and censorship.
Really, isn't the best way to fight such complete stupidity to keep it in the open?
Explain. This is not keeping people from putting their Blood and Soil and the Holocaust was a liberal Jewish hoax and Lets go here because there are some liberals gathering" websites on the internet, it is telling them that "we" aren't going to host it.
The Brave young Aryans are completely free to sign up with any service that will have them. Or even better, start one of their own, where they can spread their messages without having to worry about Liberals. In fact, they can deny those liberals access to their servers then, an obvious win.
Isn't censoring such people just making them feel more targeted, and therefore strengthening their solidarity?
First, it isn't censorship, and second, many of the people in these organizations are drawn to them because they feel disenfranchised, or have a deep seated need for hatred.
All this has done is give a bunch of disenfranchised idiots more reason to hate..
Shine a light on them, don't chase them away to skulk in the dark, where they will do what they will do without anyone watching.
Sounds like a demand for support of any group that feels marginalized. Sometimes groups are marginalized for a reason. Both of these groups have committed some serious crimes, either on a semi local level for the White Supremacists, or on a global scale, such as Nazis. And people who provide services for other people are allowed to deny service to others, except in certain narrowly defined circumstances. Good luck in the real world trying to convince most of America that they have to support either of those groups. You have a President who supports them - what more could you ask for?
They are coming out of the woodwork now because they feel comfortable. They have one of their members as the president of the United States. Heil Trump!!! Blood and soil. Amirite?
So what we have here is a tactic used by terrorists. Pick a crowd, and play Bowling for Humans. Looks like the Bastille Day guy has the highest score so far. This is pretty obviously Terrorism, and the only people who support it is likewise terrorists and their supporters.
So we have a group of people who support supremacy of one race over another - That would be the Klan. They have a history of violence and murder.
We have Neo-Nazis. Another group of people that support the National Socialist movement and all that entails. These two groups dovetail rather nicely together.
Then we have a member of the second group who runs his car through a crowd of people in Virginia.
It all fits. I don't negotiate with terrorists, nor do I wish to appease them. Appeasement doesn't work with Nazis, if we recall our history. And Blut und Boden puts the Neo's directly into Nazi ideology.
Which is why I put support for these people into the support of terrorism, support that it's practicioners desire to become mainstream. And if that happens, what are the odds that they extend anything remotely resembling free speech to others. Historically it has been exactly opposite.
Perhaps my detractors will mod this up to 5 to show their support for free speech that offends them.
BLM and antifa have been using violence and arson for quite a while now, across the US and in Europe. Why are you suddenly concerned about violence now? Where have you been?
Why do you assume that I'm only "suddenly concerned about violence" Is this a thread about antifa and blm?
You see, your weird ass logic is actually validating all the violence. Because when you answer a statement about alt-right violence by saying the left is doing it too - you've just said it's all okay.
That's why I love it when you alt-righters go off on your tangents about Hellery, you are excusing her of everything, and you aren't even rational enough to know that. See what I did there?
By the way f**k fascists and f**k socialists and f**k racists - but a free society values free speech.
You realize these dipwads held get togethers for years and zero violence and zero coverage. Now, thanks to anti-free speech people like you they're all over the news. The f**king Streisand Affect all over again.
SRSLY? THe violence of these people has been caused by the streisand effect?
So if I read you right, it is liberals and anti-free speech people who are driving these gentle and innocent folks to kill them, correct? What a crock of shit. "We're gonna hang some Black people - and when you don't allow us to post that, we gonna go out and hang some Black people - and it's your fault because you didn't allow us to post that we're gonna hang some black people" That logic don't fly.
I have this Simpson's reference of Nelson grabbing Milhouse's arm and hitting him with it, saying "Quit Hitting Yourself! Quit hitting yourself! Quit Hitting yourself!
inspire magazine telling how to derail trains is bad.
This is about free speech and not nazis or there ideas.
But a site saying the rich jews are putting the working man down is not on the same level. That is covered free speech. and just banning based it being about white power in general is taking there free speech away.
Funny how some alt-righters have no idea of what exactly free speech is.
You are allowed to say whatever you like, short of threats of violence. The Government isn't allowed to arrest you for it.
But we are allowed to react to what you said. It's probably heartbreaking for the Supremacists and Klan, but if you want to open a "Blood and Soil" website, no one is forced to host it. Your freedom of expression does not mean that I have to let you burn a cross on my lawn.
Buy your own servers, and host your own sites. Or move your sites offshore. Places in Russia will probably be happy to host them.
You guys are doing a shit job of taking over. Say what you want about the nazis, at least they were fucking competent.
A couple thoughts on that. The alt-right folks have inadvertently hurt their cause badly. A lot of the statues of the second place finishers in the war of Northern agression are coming down, more than before.
The Nasties were competent after a fashion, but their hyper agressive stance and hate based ideology just burnt itself out. Right wing, left wing, notwithstanding, hate cannot work for very long. Because in the bigger scheme of things, ideologies need to amp it up. So eventually hate based ideology becomes "Everyone is a traitor and must die, except for you anid I. And I'm beginning to think you are traitor."
To be honest, it relaxes me no end to see how fucking hopeless most of the alt-right are as human beings. Lots of bleating, but fuck all else. Long may it continue.
Like most things, the truth is somewhere in between, and trying to pretend otherwise just makes people look like ignorant fools.
There has been a bit of a sea change. While it is easy enough to claim that people who want nothing to do with the White supremacists and Ku Klux Klan members and their websites and actions are somehow equivalent of driving your nice new car into a crowd of people and ending a person's existence - it isn't all that surprising that a lot of us don't particularly want to be associated with the White Supremacists or the Klan. Vanilla ISIS don't cut it.
That is pretty simple. But here is the problem.
People who will drive their cars into crowds of people that they don't agree with, are not going to be swayed by the rest of us just saying "We embrace you because your opinion is equal to ours". Nope. People who lynch black people and chant "Blood and soil, and drive their cars into protesters will only demand more.
There is a history with them. And like it or not, it must be forcefully responded to either now, or when they set the world on fire. The last time they held sway in much of the world, it got a little messy.
Gotta admire a man who will stand up for assault and battery.
So you equate punching someone who is there deliberately to provoke an incident at a political rally (documented in a hit piece on the candidate the rally was for) with Nazis who drive a car into a crowd? Wow. That's what you say when you claim that Trump has said he'd pay for the defense of this Nazi ("these people"), when the truth is that "these people" refers to a very different group.
Oh, good grief.
My point was that Trump has supported violence before. He said what he said - that he would pay th elegal bills of his supporters who committed violence agains those he opposed.
But yes, you are correct, he did not specifically say that he was going to pay the legal bills of James Alex Fields Jr., the guy who drove his car into a crowd of protesters. You'll also note that I did not specifically say that Trump would pay for the legal fees of James Alex Fields Jr.
I said he can. Since y'all are parsing lame jokes, I figured that I would make that part very clear.
As for Trump's saying he would pay people who engaged in violence, I guess you could say "FAKE NEWS!"
But are you denying that? All of those statements he made are out there for teh finding, either in print or in video. Or is your love of dear leader so strong that nothing can shake your fealty?
Aaaaand you proved his point. You're being a dickhead because you don't agree with his message.
You're like the Antifa guys who claim to hate Fascists, but act exactly like the Fascists of old who shout down and commit violent acts against people who date to say something other than what you agree with.
I don't agree with Kim Il Sung's message, or ISIS either. That doesn't mean I have to support them in this country. They are enemies, just like White Supremacists and Neo Nazis. Enemies.
So anyhow, if one of your people comes after me and tries to run me over with his car, and I exercise me second amendment right to defend myself, and pop him between the eyes - it means I am just as bad as him? Ridiculous.
Sorry, but your anarchist anti-American wet dream does not apply to people who want to violently overthrow our government, and carry the flag of the worst government ever foisted upon humanity. Your fist's right stops when it meets my chin.
These tech Marxists are finally showing their true colors. They don't believe in the protections afforded by our constitution. I don't care if they're private companies or not. Censoring speech is never acceptable.
I mean this in the nicest way possible.
Fuck you you Nazi asshole. He can get a public defender, or perhaps one of your president's lawyers - he has teh best.
Commenting here to undo a wrong moderation. Your post wasn't funny. It was informative to me.
Come on, Slashdot, please fix this 10 year old bug!
No problem Curupira. At least it isn't deniers claiming I'm a troll! 8^)
And if you want to see something interesting, its when you see how many bees and bumblebees there are when you don't use that stuff. Especially with the bumbles, since they don't have as far a range and stick nearby with non-toxic plants and flowers.. We have a slew of them in our local yards.
AFAIK these kinds of pesticides are used the most by organic farmers because they are pretty much the only "natural" ones that work, with the others being synthetic pesticides. May not be a coincidence that the organic industry's rise has coincided with the decline in bee populations.
Neonicitinoids. Just as natural as arsenic and Death Angel Mushrooms? Natural doesn't equal safe, and even then, these compounds, which are similar to nicotine - hence the name - are quite synthetic.
They were introduced mainly because they are less toxic to mammals and birds than organophosphates. It was also thought that they would break down fairly quickly. As it turns out, they don't, and they are proving to be very toxic to some beneficial insects.
All, eh? Hmm... I wonder what you'd say if you saw a commercial wild blueberry harvest?
They are just as nature made them.
It has been another great year for the Blueberries and Huckleberries here in the Northeast.
But that Beau idjit doesn't know what it's talking about. Larger "fruit" is not the only criteria - not even the crop in all cases - and the breeding itself doesn't make the crops need pesticides any more than wild, other than monoculture issues. But much of the breeding is designed to create a crop that doesn't fall off the plant and to the ground at harvest time. Genetic modification.
So you go back to eating your corn that is size of thumb nail and eating beans with a 1mm shell that cannot be cooked through and picking peas that cannot be taken out of their pods. I will use pesticides!
I think you might have been drinking those pesticides.
With that said, I get the shortcuts. It is hard to do. We are not setup for it in this country for many reasons. Everyone wants a nice looking piece of grass, but no one has the time.
Its kind of amusing. I live in a village where the two best lawns are our neighbor across the street and ours. Theirs is definitely the winner. And neither of us use any of that poisonous crap on our lawns.The biggest thing for lawns in our area is lime to make the soil alkaline enough, and corn gluten in the spring. Every so often spread a little finely shredded compost - just beware that it needs to be tested for pesticides depending on where it came from. I have a fireplace and get wood ashes to spread as well.
When the weather starts to cool in September, overseed with some grass seed, and you hardly need do much else other than mow. It isn't difficult at all - a few hours per season of the lawn maintenance.
The people who use stuff like Chemlawn and all the weird shit to put on the lawn get this weird thin grass that goes away the minute the service is stopped.
Declined. But you're first in line to go into the nursing home. Just think about who is going to be wiping your ass when you get there. Hope you enjoy that thought. When you whine about that let me know, I'll bring you some cheese if you even have any teeth left. Cheers!
Negative. Unless I'm completely incapacitated by a stroke, and cannot perform the act, I'm exiting this world on my terms. So rejoice in my eventual demise.
