You have no more right to be on twitter than you do to be in any private club. They are free to set entry requirements (or lack thereof) and to kick your ass out for any reason they choose, including being an asshole. Don't like it? Start your own social network. It's not analogous to those things at all. Like I said, go shout your crazy to the ether, you might get got for public disorder but then you get to complain to the police and tell them what they can and can't do then you can come back here and tell us how it's there's no tyranny. I wonder if you would pull your gun on the authority to defend your right to free speech? That's what they're for right? One of the things anway.
The solution is to scale down. OK, so they shot up a missile the blew up a satellite and made a bunch of junk. So now, send up a bunch of smaller missiles to blow up the bits of junk. Then send a bigger batch of smaller still missiles to blow up the now smaller junk. Rinse repeat until no problem.
If the studios are pushing to keep, say, Netflix away it's a very serious concern. If the oscars just don't like Netflix or any other reason, it's not such a problem
Netflix should just have their own awards. With black jack...and hookers. Forget the awards.
Most Oscars are fully deserved, but they always been devalued by those who are barely deserved and have been included for some kind of marketing reasons (or bribing?).
Like black panther? The film that starts with him giving up his powers so he can go through a thing to get his power because reasons and it's all downhill from there.
We're gonna FORCE everyone to shoot up with CRAZY CHEMICALS!!!??1!!!1!!!! Hallelujah, praise the vax!
Totally full of DHMO. The most deadly chemical known to man, fatal in all forms and its everywhere, completely unregulated. Mobilise the masses, something must be done!
Speaking of a sense of proportion.... in the United States you're three times as likely to die from a shark attack (1 death per year on average) as you are from from the measles (1 death every 3 years on average from 387 reported measles cases per year).
To put that into further perspective, the U.S. averages 11 deaths from fireworks and 24 from train crashes per year. Death from a literal lightning strike is 141 times as common than dying from the measles in the United States.
So let's not overreact quite yet.
And more people die in the bath than by terrorism but where does all the money go? I don't see many anti-bath teams running around, do you?
If you threaten my well-being or the well-being of my family, I should be free to shoot you on sight. If not vaccinating only affected the unvaccinated, no one would care.
If I wasn't so lazy I would not vaccinate out of anti-collectivist principle, not because of any potential harm a vaccine can cause.
Then you're free to fuck off and die of smallpox, except you can't because it was eradicated by vaccination. It's not a choice thing like getting a tattoo.
There is something really wrong with people who don't vaccinate. I don't know what it is exactly, but they are not seeing the world clearly.
The best part is the new wave of tech savvy anti-vaxxers going online to ask how they can protect their little precious angels from these nasty diseases doing the rounds.
Guns are only a valid defense against other guns.
Hunting, yeah ok then, licensed firearms and all that, go for it.
Pest control, there are much better ways than shooting them and bigger pests that do need shot falls back on hunting.
Entertainment, you can still go target shooting without full fat guns.
Collecting, ok have them deactivated and made safe and collect all you want.
It seems to be ingrained in the american psyche that if you don't have a gun everyone you meet is going to attack, abuse and god only knows what else before your government inevitably goes mwa ha ha full on totalitarian while you sit there shitting your pants. Some americans at least, some are sensible.
I'll address this specific case. The laptop has a significant battery that is very dense, and consequently fairly opaque to xray. The battery is very easy to replace with a nicely shaped chunk of semtek with a blasting cap inserted inside. Of all the crap, the concern about laptops is completely reasonable.
You don't need to bother. Just overvolt and breach the cells. BANG!
It made no sense that laptops were somehow special devices that had to be scanned differently from every other piece of electronics sent through the scanner.
Especially as a few shenanigans with the battery will give you a pretty big bang no extra explosives needed.
I don't see anything that Trump has done that's anywhere near fascistic.
Lets forget about trump for a minute and about general rates of murder in different places and let me ask you a single question. How many innocent lives are your guns worth? I'm only talking school and other mass shootings here, parkland, pulse, vegas etc. Forget gang violence and other violent crime for a moment just ones that make international news.
Low ID users need to fuck off and die. You're just a bunch of old IT closet-cleaning losers. A bunch of 50 year old nerds who are unemployed and unmarried.
The rifles you're talking about banning are not assault rifles. They are all standard semi-automatic rifles. Again - take a look at what makes something an "assault" weapon. It's an ergonomic add-on (pistol grip). These add ons do not make the rifle more deadly.
First off, the rifles I'm talking about banning are ALL FUCKING GUNS! Next I'm not American so I don't really have any skin in the game but where I am no one has any guns and society works just fine (ish). I'd imagine it looks much different from the inside out but a gun isn't the be all and end all solution to any problem.
No it doesn't matter who they are, what's wrong is the police, or at least some of them, feel so threatened that anyone may gun them down that they are happy to shoot first. Remember that story of that (white) woman who rang them and when they turned up they shot her because she startled them or something? Or that kid who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time then got shot for doing exactly as the police said? If they weren't facing an armed populace they might not be so trigger happy? Sure innocent people are killed by police/die in custody all over the world but not in anywhere like the same numbers
Without wanting to godwin they didn't think mussolini or hitler etc were tyrants when they were voted in either. Trump may not have shut down a newspaper but he flings about terms like enemy of the people and fake news and its very, dangerous. Did he attack that paper offices, no but it was because of him and the less said about whats going on the southern border the better eh? All that aside though, let's just agree that even if he's not a tyrant at all, he's still a fucking joke (how much time/money has he spent on golf alone?) but let's not get into that.
Being deplatformed isn't an attack on your free speech, it's just people not listening anymore. You can still start your own website or stand on the street and rant your crazy shit in to the ether but no one has to listen. But no, blame it all on 'the left' and enjoy your 'cultural revolution' and with any luck it will all end in another civil war yeah?

An award is speech.
Good luck with this, pal!
The speech is the bit of the award everyone wishes they would skip.
Interestingly, EVERYONE who got the measles had been vaccinated.
This fact has been suppressed by the mainstream news outlets.
Vaccination isn't the same as immunisation. Hence two completely different words.
Waiting for people to be dying is both bad policy and utterly immoral.
Waiting for people to die doesn't help either. See gun control.

Hot lead vaccination lol

Love it
Decapitation is hilarious! Let's all joke about their gruesome death, and as a bonus, think about their grieving family and chuckle.
Maybe you could use that stick up your ass to renogginize the guy?
This same old tired list. Ok, I'll play again.

Now because not those times
It boggles the mind that you don't see guns as a big part of the problem.
You can't even see the tyranny right in front of your face, but whatever, Carry on.

Is there one that will just display emails in the order they came in and not try to write my replies for me?

At 50, you become a Wizard.
I put on my robe and wizard hat
denogginized
Love it
Or you just place them in an area where almost everyone drives a Tesla like around Google or Facebook HQ.
As long as its the people driving them its fine.
Unfortunately there isn't a good way to deal with it.
In fact, there is a final solution to this problem, but it is wildly unpopular.
ww3 should thin the numbers quite significantly.

"Nope" is not an argument.
It is when some pulls the original argument straight from out of their ass.
