One of the biggest problems of our time is when people refer to cryptocurrency as "crypto". Police tasers should have a special setting just for that. And they should use it.
The TV broadcasters (and cable) will never believe it until it is too late. They will deny and deny right up until, and perhaps after, the bankruptcy filing. Their whole business model is stuck in some previous millennium long ago washed away in the sands of time. Their model is based on telling you what is the limited menu of programs and reruns you can watch, and WHEN you can watch them. You will watch it according to OUR schedule, or wait until it is in reruns, if it is at all.
They don't realize there are other forms of entertainment. Even if you sit in front of the TV, all you need is an internet connection, but not "cable tv". Subscribe to what you want -- without having ESPN shoved down your throat.
We now have tablets and smartphones. The universal toy. The only toy some kids play with. They also no longer have any need or desire to venture into the strange and scary thing called "outdoors".
With the advent of smart phones and tablets, parental responsibility is no longer needed. Of course, the more forward thinking people believed that with the advent of television. Or kids VHS tapes.
Some people (notably BMW drivers) think they have a right to zoom through the carpool lane.
Some able bodied people (BMW drivers?) think they have a right to park in the handicapped space.
Point: Entitled people feel they have a right to what they want. If you don't agree with their hate speech, then OMG Censorship! You're a bad person for not hating the same people they hate! Etc.
Redundancy detected. If a Circle Jerk were not self referencing, then you wouldn't call it a Circle Jerk. It would be a Line Jerk. One end would be un-serviced while the other end would be capable of servicing but is under utilized.
If Conservapedia has a page about Circle Jerks, then it needs to be updated to reflect this.
At least YouTube has the good sense to not use Conservapedia to verify YouTube videos.
This is a question from the 1980's. Let's ask Mr. Owl. He knows everything. (but rephrased from the 1980's)
Mr. Owl: Why do I need 10 Mbps ethernet card for $1,000 when my computer can barely sustain 1 Mbps?
Mr. Owl says: it's not all about your node's sustained throughput. It's about the capacity of the network you are connected to. Higher bits per second means higher capacity and therefore ability to have more packets flowing, although not necessary to and from your node.
> Spirituality: Knowing that your higher power accepts and loves you unconditionally.
Some would put it this way. You aren't worthy of God's love. You can't do anything to make yourself worthy. It is free and unconditional. You have to believe and confess. At that point, the desire and striving for perfection should not be confused with trying to make oneself worthy of God's attention. No matter how hard you try to impress God, he's probably not easy to impress.
Mental illness is an illness. That is, something which makes one unable to function. Unable to take care of themselves. Or which makes them a danger to themselves or others. Someone who would harm others by exposing them to a contrary viewpoint supported by facts and reason.
>is criticizing someone's political, social, economic, or religious beliefs hate speech?
That would be criticism if it is a reasoned argument critical of someone's beliefs or views. Reasonable people can disagree without being hateful, using firearms, committing arson, running down people, etc.
>Is bullying harrassing and insulting a person hate speech?
No. That is NOT hate speech.
That is a hate crime. (Or hateful actions if it does not rise to the level of a crime.) Hate Crime is a sentencing enhancement added on to the base crime described to act as an additional deterrent to small minded people who otherwise cannot seem to get the message that they live in a world with people who are different from themselves.
>And if so, is it hate speech simply to call them an idiot, or would you have to go as far as calling them a nazi or something equally hurtful?
Different people respond differently. Some people would wither and melt at the language you suggest. Others would ignore it. Some would have pity on the small minded. Others would get pitchforks and take to the streets. Example:
I hate hate speech so much that I'm going to hatefully speak out about how much I hate the hate speech. I cannot tolerate intolerant people! I have no tolerance for intolerant people.
Twitter is the POTUS mouthpiece. It is how all official announcements are made. It is how the nuclear launch codes will be sent to start Trump's glorious global nookular war! A bigger legacy than any other president evar!

Maybe that galaxy exported all their dark matter to China in exchange for clean coal.

Be worry. Don't happy.
At least being punished by text messages is not as bad as being punished by Justin Bieber music.

America may be running the world's biggest spy ring while accusing others of meddling, but at least we are Making Our Orwellian State Great Again!
doubleplus grate. And the chocolate ration has increased to 20g this week.
Do you mean real minutes? Or do you mean Microsoft 'minutes'? New, improved, bigger, better Microsoft minutes!

Why is Toys R Us needed?

Save that gift card and let it appreciate in value over time.
All traffic fines should be tied to last year's tax returns.
People of Twitter or Facebook should not say Trump is a Racist Nazi. They should say EITHER racist OR say nazi. But not both. It's redundant.

Conditional Like. Only if enhanced interrogation is involved.

I agree. More RAM would be a bigger priority for me.
> Am I the only one that still uses the original Raspberry Pi?
You are not the only one. But I also use 2's and 3's.
Now I've got to wonder if I need bigger power supplies for the 3B+

Censorship is when a point of view is suppressed. Hate is not a point of view.
What I want to know. Why, oh why couldn't they block friggin' Twitter? That is a source of hate speech. Right from the orange puckered mouth himself.
I hate hate speech and will hatefully speak out against those who speak hatefully.
Mental illness is an illness. That is, something which makes one unable to function. Unable to take care of themselves. Or which makes them a danger to themselves or others. Someone who would harm others by exposing them to a contrary viewpoint supported by facts and reason.
Religion is the only way to bring healing to a world deeply and violently divided by religion.
