I'm not excusing them I'm saying some pronn people should demand the same rules for the platforms which actually have and continue to engage in widespread and pervasive censorship as opposed to the largely apolitical hypothetical future censorship of isps, instead of showing a complete lack of concern.
Its pretty dumb to only care about ISPs censoring you when the downstream platform monopoly can and has done the same thing. Unless you're an ideologue like many of the 'pro netneutrality' crowd who are completely fine with other voices being censored so they can monologue unopposed.
The vast majority of people in the military right now have about as much of a risk of being sent to the frontlines with a rifle as you or me and it will be even less of a chance as time goes on. Stop watching Full Metal Jacket, in modern war the vast majority of the military is what would have been called the baggage train or campfollowers in the past. The military is now first and foremost a bureaucratic institution. Why else do you think they can now afford to focus on diversity and recruiting young teeny boppers? Your 95lb blonde niece Susie probably isn't spending her enlistment slogging through the swamps of 'Nam opening up with dual LMGs on the Vietcong. The actual fighting will more and more be the reserve of robots and a shrinking elite core of combat soldiers supported by an ever growing support complex.
But I’m not sure how on board I am with this trend of automatically worshipping and turning former members of the military into a higher social class. There’s the general equality concerns and then of course theres the elephant in the room. I agree that actual combat veterans deserve respect, but this ain’t the civil war. The vast majority of veterans these days see no combat and are generally in less danger than many civilian jobs. I’ve probably gotten into more fights on the playground that my cousin in the army has throughout her military career. Combined with all the perks they get both through the military and from civvies, enlistment or commissioning often is not only not dangerous but actually a pretty sweet deal especially if you’ve got nothing else going on. So really whats so uniquely admirable about sitting in Germany filing paperwork for 5 years than being discharged to a full college ride? Why should you automatically respect someone in the military more as opposed to an arctic fisherman, oil rig worker, or even a secretary?
Once we have the tools to be self sufficient we can learn to be self sufficient and help each other be self sufficient on our own. No need for Daddy government to keep anything but a very basic safety net not much more if at all more complicated than what we have now.

What a lawyer may or may not have done with a hooker regarding a several year old alleged private affair when I've been told by the same people out for blood that it's okay to get a blowjob in the oval office and lie about it under oath?
You're saying its right because the law says so using your logic Saudi Arabia is right to outlaw homosexuality. I'm pretty sure they have some flowery legal gobbledgook in books for that. Its right because of state sovereignty? Well then states that don't want gay marriage are right to ban it then. Also nice dodge at the end. What does that have to do with Masterpiece Cake? Did he actually call the police on them? Even if he did they'd be trespassing if they refused to leave and has nothing to do with the above legal argument.
The idea of 'public accommodations' is a fever dream by LBJ to justify the government sticking its nose into private business. Its an absurd vague definition where you can eventually turn everything 'public'. He presumably built and runs the business with his own money so its private. In a sane world that should be all that matters. One exception if he is a monopoly like the tech companies and you have no other choice then I can understand regulation. Otherwise you have 99.9999999999999999% of other cake shops to choose from. tough luck.
doom really cared about it we'd have gone balls to the wall nuclear power decades ago and have safe hi tech nukepower oozing out of every orifice. But nope, instead they thought a better idea would be to use it as a chance to keep pushing to consolidate power and control in a few hands and tactics that have failed before and will continue to fail again like guilt people into living like monks to save a drop of carbon here and there.
thats nice but how many womyn and transgenders will be on the crew? Are there any incel engineers with shirts with scantily clad women we can criticize?
First they said they'd never censor. Then its just for cp. Then its just for that and terrorism. Then its just for all that and neonazis. Then its only all the former and the altright which are just like neonazis trust us. then its just for all that and conspiracy theories, then 'fake and misleading news'. Now its copyright infringement... But trust them, they'll just censor this little thing and no more.
Our grandchildren will be reading the exact same article and then check their Neotwitter for tweets about how President Ronald Trump IV will destroy the world if he gets elected.

Pretty nice that the earth gathers all this stuff in one place for us to be able to easily get rid of. Thanks Garbage Patch!
If people love it so much why do you need to pass all these laws and take all this tax money to promote it?
Than you obviously aren't a person who uses the internet very often. I think this is one of those trial balloons for an increase in AI censorship.

If he doesn't want to bake a cake and he's a private business he shouldn't have to whatever reason. Sorry you're proslavery.

fine...otherwise people here are basically asking to be fined for humming songs or showing their friends links during lunchtime.
The liberal arts and humanities could be as important as they once were but not as the perverted ideological joke they are rightfully seen as now.
Without all the tracking and authoritarian features they've been crying for all these decades. Why do we suddenly need them now?
Not to mention the government can just order them to share it to track you down for a parking ticket any time they wish.

Its another lazy clickbait that the msmash/BeauHD duumvirate decided to post on their blog formerly known as the once popular tech website Slashdot.
