You're just supporting my point, the US political climate is severely fucked up.
"Socialist" is thrown around as an insult, because you can't even be bothered to understand what it means. Your political debates are dominated by idiotic catchphrases, that are just mindlessly repeated over every single media outlet ad nauseam ("flip-flopper" was particularly bad).
That just supports my point. The political climate in the US is so extremely fucked up that the word "socialist" is thrown around as an insult. You've been indoctrinated to hate a political ideology, without even bothering to understand it.
A lot of dumbasses seem to think that everything bad in the world must be on the opposite side of the spectrum from them. And since most of the idiots are rightwingers, they think everything bad in the world is a leftist plot.
Putting islamic terror on the left is only one example. There are a bunch of people running around seriously claiming that the nazis were socialists and leftists, solely because it was called "national socialism". Because obviously the labels that countries and groups apply to themselves are 100% correct and never wrong. Like for instance the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which as we all know is extremely democratic and serves the people first and foremost, right?
No, insisting that people have to listen to your bullshit is being a total shitlord. It's called freedom of speech, not freedom to force people to listen.
And no, Twitter should not be regulated as a common carrier. They're a short form blogging service, nothing more. They are not a vital line of communications.
Have you noticed how the most thin-skinned people around, are the ones always complaining about thin-skinned people?
The fact of the matter is that Twitter can ban anyone they want, for absolutely no reason at all. Don't like it? Start your own right-winger competitor. Don't be surprised when no one wants to read 140-character hateful xenophobic rants.
The greatest scientific advances of mankind have all come from the various space programs. No, they were not "found in space", they were developed right here on earth because the space programs created a need. Were it not for the space programs pushing science forward, many of the things you take for granted either wouldn't have been developed at all, or would have been developed much later. Stuff like velcro, food preservation, insulation, all kinds of stuff that you use every single day without even thinking about it.
350 liters is a lot, but the batteries in current electric cars take up a lot of space, too. Admittedly, batteries can more easily be shaped in weird ways, such as making a "skateboard" chassis with the batteries in the floor. Then again, maybe that could work for a fuel tank, too. The low CoG is nice, in either case.
But those 350 liters are for a 1000 km. My current car does about 700 km on a full tank, but it wouldn't be a major issue for me if an electric car with a flow battery only did 500 km or maybe even 250km, as long as refilling it still only took 5-10 minutes like with gasoline.
250 km would mean ~87.5 liters, if everything scales linearly, which is the size of the gas tank in a lot of cars today.

There are very few things in the world I hate more than hypocrites.
Ok then, let's say "force them to tolerate your hateful bullshit" instead.
Too bad for you, then.
If you actually knew what those terms meant, you wouldn't be so confused.

It needs to be cleaned up, in a bad way.

Oh, so now the big bad rightwingers are coming with guns, because they're not allowed to post on Twitter anymore?
That sounds extremely petty to me.

No problem, then :-D
Oh, so now you want to fight?
What a big man you are, tough guy :-)
And yes, I am this honest and straightforward in real life, it's been pretty good to me so far.
Well of course, now you're talking about the American Left and American Right, who are both completely bonkers, in their own little ways.
That's why I think they both suck, and like to fan the flames a little (it seems to have worked).
In the real world, in a political system that's a little less fucked up, I'm a marxist (with some classical liberal leanings).
All systems run by humans are flawed, that's just how the world works.
I will shed no tears for Milo. He's got every little bit of it coming to him.
LOL nice hate site you've got there.
Why don't you just go die in a fire, and take your hateful, racist xenophobic ideas with you. Thanks.
Sucks to be them, then. Imagine being banned from a web service that they've never paid as much as a red cent to use.
Poor little babies.
Still, if you're not satisfied, don't use Twitter. No one is forcing you.
So? Use another service if you're not satisfied.
Man, I just love the SJW-to-skeleton Chrome extension. It makes reading threads like this a lot more entertaining.
Don't forget the rightwingers physically attacking Planned Parenthood and others, for providing 100% legal services.

Well, that's because right-wingers tend to be vindictive hateful assholes a majority of the time.
That includes anyone who actually looks up to Milo, because holy hell what an absolute shitheel that guy is.
"Space age fantasy" drives scientific progress, which makes it hugely important.

I hope he winds up dating a woman who's secretly a highly-skilled martial artist. Let him get his ass kicked for once.
Time Bandits was one of my absolute favorite movies growing up, and it still is.
Cheers for Kenny, may he always live on in our hearts.
Doesn't that law only cover DRM (Digital Rights Management) on digital storage and connections?
