Now fix the on-call violence delivery service. At least add: - accountability for police - mandatory fact-finding before believing whatever story a caller wants to tell - body cameras with recordings available to the public (maybe with some controls if you're scared of the public having access to the information for whatever reason) - specific trading requirements for SWAT teams, with presumed liability for failure to train - a duty for the police to make a genuine attempt protect the life and dignity of everyone they encounter
I like how you call for the warriors to stop waging war without asking one time what it is they are fighting. Your claims throughout this thread are vague enough to imply that SJWs are just out screaming at people for no reason.
Everyone who does anything in the name of "justice", no matter how evil the act, claims to have a good reason. There will always be an infinite list of excuses or rationalizations or justifications for anything.
You do not call for the conservative (and your) side to stop the discrimination and active hostility towards the SJWs. You want us to accept your hatred for us and to abide by whatever arbitrary law you've come up with this week, but the minute we ask for the same from your side, we get the big F U. We're tired of that. We don't stop defending ourselves until you stop attacking. Besides, war is what you conservatives always want so again, stop acting coy.
That's a plan to make your life about nothing besides an endless series of half-imagined grievances (which you intend to exact "justice " for). Besides the obvious question of why anyone would choose that life for themselves, there's the much more relevant question of why anyone else would ever want to interact with SJWs in any way. I know I certainly don't.
There's a whole big world out there full of wonder and opportunity. That world can be pretty cool when you aren't actively seeking out things to complain about.
The SJWs are doing nothing against you. They never have. Stop assuming that a lack of victims on a side that never existed is tantamount to you being attacked.
Not sure what that 3rd sentence is supposed to mean.
People who censor are absolutely doing things to injure the audience. Maybe you like bullies controlling what you can say and what you can hear others say, but 80% of people don't like it.
Okay, so the question then is what if someone decides to ignore his polite suggestion and causes problems. I don't think he means to imply that there should be no way of dealing with such a person.
Stop making up stories about that. Why would a non-totalitarian want to make up stories where he could justify using power against people?
A warrior who is building weapons and cataloguing the weakness of those around him is a threat.
He is only asking. He can have his diversity goals, and you can have your colorblind focus on results. When it's only asking, you can agree to disagree. Everyone can get along.
When someone is only asking, it can be a discussion instead of a fight.
Or you could start acting as the bigger person instead of reverting to threats and childish three-letter-acronyms to belittle people who have opinions you don't like.
Yeah, adults never use 3 letter acronyms. This is an awesome point. Everyone and everything that was ever referred to by an acronym is a victim. Like the people of the U.K., the USA, and the EU.
On behalf of everyone ever, please accept my apologies for every time anyone in the world ever used an acronym for anything.
Also sorry for the "threats" you seem to be imagining. So incredibly sorry.
You don’t know anything about the R* workplace. Neither do I. Neither does anyone else in this conversation.
Yet all these people are so full of themselves that they think they should make pronouncements about who is right and wrong and how decicisions should be made. You should all stop being so full of yourselves and start minding your own business. Stop being assholes.
The R* employees make a good living building the best, highest selling entertainment products in the world. They don’t need you white knighting for them based on zero information about their jobs.

Nope
Hulk Hogan lawsuit wasn't a libel suit.
It's almost certainly not intentionally false and provably motivated by malice. If the story is merely false, it isn't (legally) libel.
Or false choice, clickbait, flamebait?
Winning a libel suit requires proving intentional falsehood motivated by malice.
It's the only way to hold so-called news reporters to any sort of standard.
Why should Apple or Amazon continue to deal with Bloomberg when Apple and Amazon think they've been the victim of false reporting?
Leave that stuff for the jerks on Twitter

I get what you are saying, I guess, but it's still true that warriors need to stop waging war in order for there to be peace.
It's descriptive of motive and tactics.
Presumably you don't think that the GP really meant that the problem was three letter acronyms, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Complaining about words is a tactic to censor unfavorable messages. If they call off the war, they can be social justice supporters.
Is it a war? If not, why be so defensive?

Which makes me wonder, why the mostly positive response?
He suggests. He is asking.
Do you really not understand the difference between asking versus demanding and threatening?
Or is it just that people have respect for RMS and can't find some old tweets or blog posts suggesting he is a social justice warrior?
A warrior who isn't waging a war is just a person.
Or you could start acting as the bigger person instead of reverting to threats and childish three-letter-acronyms to belittle people who have opinions you don't like.

Only if the SJWs call off their social justice war. Or if the 80% of the rest of us who oppose political correctness decide to stick up for ourselves and stop being pushed around by toxic bullies.
Asking people to be kind is the right answer.
Zealots and totalitarians won't be happy though.

That was the point. That was the only point.
That's cool if you want some mediocre system plugged into the same old stale platform from 5 or 10 or 20 years ago.
Building a whole new car may be difficult, but you end up with a new car. There are pluses and minuses.
Shorter version: everyone should work exactly as dgatwood decides. No other arrangements will be allowed. He will decide your schedule in detail.
Will dgatwood allow you to make any choices in your non-work hours, or does dgatwood know what you must be required to do 24/7?
I hope to find out. It's always interesting to hear exactly how someone wants to plan out others' lives.
If people just mind their own business?

That was easy one.
