I imagine that Eric Clanton, a paragon for leftism, used similar reasoning just before he smashed someone's head with a bike lock. His victim expected reciprocity for civil discourse, and that was a weakness to be exploited.
When any action is justifiable, because reasons of your own imagining, that makes your faith-based religion even more contemptible than the others.
There is a difference between presiding over a case, and being the subject of a drumhead trial. We at least have past performance in order to gauge the former.
If Kavanaugh didn't react emotionally at some point to this hatchet job at his expense, some twisted argument would be invented to disqualify him anyway. The ends justify the means, after all.
But I wouldn't expect those who lump in the particular individuals involved with 'all women' and 'all democrats' to admit that.
At times like this I just recall that McDonald's mascot is a fun loving clown, while the company itself is a conducer for industrial-scale meat production. Walmart's logo is a big yellow smiley face, and Amazon's logo is similarly cheerful, while many of their employees are on food stamps.
Google needs marking just like every other major corporation that's full of disingenuous suits and MBAs, so there's the source of the virtue signaling. Putting a happy face on surveillance and censorship capitalism was to be expected.
You're trying to rationalize a movie that involves space magic, and deflecting bolts of plasma energy with sword play.
Put the plot in the context of being just a loose framework in order to tie visually stimulating CGI action scenes together within a reasonable amount of time, then it might begin to make more sense.
And when it comes to a party that can potentially be bent to serve the will of the people the Dems are the best chance. For the reasons I stated above that's just objective fact.
I prefer the "opposite is true" approach to evaluating statements made by someone with such obvious bias. The result in this case is: Super delegates, and a vivid recollection of what happened with Sanders.
Indeed, even as the silicon valley tech giants form trusts in order to control social media at large, and payment processors are being leveraged to deal with those who actually do try to 'build their own'. The power of censorship makes the influence of bot spamming minuscule by comparison.
The town is listed as unincorporated, so looks like you're right about it being a work site. Now that more details are out, the official narrative is "child porn". Yeah I don't know why I'm so skeptical.
The telltale games are the only ones I've ever played where it showed you a comparison of your choices to moral dilemmas to those of other players.
One in particular I found most interesting was where you decided the fate of a character that was endangering the group due to their own stupidity. An overwhelming majority of players decided to show compassion, leading to some thoughtful contemplation as to those who did not.
Giving people reason to reflect upon the nature of their choices isn't something you see often in entertainment.
In my experience with surprise layoffs, rent-a-cops were hired to be on scene to keep the crowd from getting ugly. Discovering that management had told bold-faced lies up to that point and that no severance was upcoming made people a little cranky. The building was cleared quickly and then the doors were locked.
Just a reminder that corporations like Google and Facebook already partner with NGOs like the ADL to slap hate-speech labels on people and groups they dislike as an excuse for censorship.
Maybe, just maybe, Google being a partner with China for tyrannical oppression might just clue people in on what the end game is.
A communications corporation this large and influential that it could effect the national dialog to the point where this sort of precaution could ever be seen as needed, is also proof that allowing it to moderate and deplatform as they see fit is also a danger.
"safety and security" is a good catch all, to be sure, but then you have to deal with all the people who love repeating the quote of some old dead guy who was involved in some kind of declaration or bill of something that's now completely irrelevant anyway.
Nah, just stamp "ADL" or "SPLC" on it, then it's above criticism and reproach. Unless you're a hateful bigot, of course, and who wants to be accused of being one of those. Then once it has "trusted flagger" status across the board it can enforce "community guidelines" any way it sees fit, with no input or transparency with the public at all. Even if that means eventually deciding if someone should be allowed to buy groceries with the digital payment systems that have taken over everywhere.
Gen IV pebble bed reactors don't have the same failure modes as the first gen tech, and are designed to fail safe. The failure modes of the earliest reactors are irrelevant when nobody is going to build them.
You don't have to go to anti-free speech state like the UK to get jailed for a Facebook post. Just ask this kid about it. Everything you post is a written confession as far as prosecutors are concerned.
I wouldn't be surprised if the six million views didn't act as advertisement and boosted ticket sales. If it is such a good movie, then people seeing in low framerate, low resolution, and audio channels limited to stereo (at best) would be more likely to want to go have the big screen experience. Or at least pay for a better quality stream.
Evacuating a small town due to security concerns over a subject. Sure, seems legit. Or at least the "least untruthful" explanation we could hope for.
Yes there is a lot of crazy attention-seeking nonsense that gets dreamed up. But then, it's hard for me to find fault when history itself often reads like it was imagined by a conspiracy theorist. It doesn't help that much of our useful information also comes from whistle blowers who are themselves labeled as traitors, criminals, and yes, conspiracy nuts.
But birds? Definitely dinosaurs. No doubt about it.
Let's compare that to the "hands up don't shoot" lie which also spread through social media, and ultimately ended in innocent people getting killed or hospitalized due to revenge attacks. Of course that doesn't benefit any narrative we'd like to promote, so never mind. Let's single someone else out.
Yeah, Infowars maybe has tens of thousands of users, and Twitter has hundreds of millions. They're practically the same thing.
Because tech titans colluding to silence personas non grata as they will it is nothing to be concerned over. We promise you'll like it. It's for your own good.
So build the wall? Trump not getting his tiny hands on the kids at all would be a good thing then, right?
But I suppose the Orange Devil and Ultimate Scapegoat just doesn't operate in a way that keeps your amygdala from kicking into overdrive, so probably no. And I really wouldn't expect someone with such pristine white robes would have given much thought into a more appropriate policy solution than catch-and-release, either.
I remember when Gowdy said "facts don't matter in DC" and then announced he won't run again while looking like he hadn't slept for a week. I had surmised that mutually assured destruction had been postponed.
But with Trump threatening Sessions again, and possibly declassifying FISA documents so we can see how the sausage is being made, that the stakes of the game has changed.
Still seems like a risky stunt that seems much less likely than just poor standards of ethics in journalism at the NYT. They did just hire someone who advocates genocide to their editorial board, after all.

When the next progressive darling cucks out to the establishment favorite, because reasons, I'll try to contain my surprise.

So...yeah, vet your sources man.
Ok. Let's see what a programmer at Twitter has to say about the threshold for bot detection.
In other words, Twitter still investigated itself. They are not a credible source either.

It's too easy.
No, machine learning is not the way it "worked" in the 1960's.
Machine learning and AI is also a distinction without a difference. AI comes in categories not just limited to "general".
Or the emails, tapes, hard drives, and text messages simply get 'lost'. Good luck blaming anyone then.
