Oh, so you're advocating punching people that are 90 years and older? Me, I'd hope that any crimes they've committed have already been assessed and appropriate justice served.
Just that, if you're using the term to mean anybody younger than that then you're clearly not talking about WWII or the holocaust.
Even in 1945 I don't think it would be appropriate to punch someone purely because they were a nazi party member. Which crimes did they commit, and how about applying some justice there.
No issue with them being biased, I just hate the hypocrisy about it.
They're not the worse (see also: Twitter) but don't tell us what a great force for good you are and look at us preventing this abusive community.. while supporting and facilitating other abusive communities.
It is always right to punch a Nazi. It always has been and it always will be.
That inflexible level of thinking sounds very right wing and authoritarian to me. Hmm. Are you a nazi? Does that mean I can punch you?
You are so concerned about some hateful shit of a girl getting pepper sprayed... where were you when peaceful protesters on college campuses were getting hosed down with pepper spray by an agent of the state for a simple sit in?
Well, I was saying that was an abusive act that should be illegal. I'm saying that a woman stood being interviewed getting assaulted is an abusive act that is illegal.
And here you are saying Anit-fascist like its a fucking bad thing
Some people may be, but I'm not. I can't be arsed trying to differentiate the fascists from the cunts that pretend they're not fascists. I focus on actions.
Attacking someone for saying something you dislike? That is wrong. I don't give a flying fuck which side of the political spectrum you're on, stop assaulting people.
Yeah. At a societal level keeping them in plain sight is beneficial, but why should Reddit have to deal with the content, behaviour and responses involved.
Well, apart from Reddit's blindness to comparable content and behaviour from people representing other parts of the political spectrum.
what I see all the time is that the alt-right, the Trump supporters cannot accept people calling them what they really are
In the UK people keep trying to tell me what I voted for in the EU referendum. They claim I support this, or that, or suggest that I didn't know what I was doing.
Sounds like you're as big a twat as they are. Just because you want to give a label to someone doesn't mean that they are whatever you called them. It means you're a twat.
I think violence to prevent harm is generally accepted. It's when you find out two days later and kill him that it's a crime, rather than if you come home mid-act.
I'm reluctant to decry the science behind that evidence, but I'm much more reluctant to allow prosecution on the grounds, "You should have had a heart attack and you didn't"
If the other evidence is adequate to demonstrate illegal activity then prosecute. Pacemaker records should not be required or relevant.
So you support making insurance a non-viable proposition, thus exposing everybody to permanent unavoidable loss in the event of incidents beyond their control?
I can't afford to rebuild my home if it burns down in a fire. I should become homeless if one of my cats turns on the cooker and burns down the house while I'm at work?
Me, I'd rather have the safety net provided by the insurance policy I took out. You appear to prefer that I die starving in the cold. Thanks.
I don't support the death penalty even for people I'd personally happily kill because the death penalty is inherently flawed and the moment you start making exceptions you step irrevocably away from the concept of justice.
But again you don't want to actually *do* anything so you just continue to support closed hardware vendors, closed software vendors and the model that produces DRM content.
That's nonsense.
I refuse to buy Apple devices because they're locked down. That hasn't stopped millions of idiots buying them, and as a result skewing the market so that some software or other features are only available on Apple devices.
If I refuse to buy a Windows 10 device because it's locked down, that wont stop millions of idiots from buying one anyway, and skewing the market so that the games I want to play are only available on Windows 10 devices.
My options here are very limited.
Then go and fund open hardware development
Sure. Could you loan me four billion dollars please, I'm not sure I have that much in my bank account at the moment.
I've noticed that a lot of Europeans seem to think Europe is a country these days. Ask them where they are from and they say "Europe."
That's a non-sequitur. I am from Europe, but Europe is not a country. I am not from the UK but the UK is a country. I am not from Scotland but Scotland is a country.
I am British and I am European.
This causes me no confusion at all, or those around me.
Actually most of them are probably plastic. But if you do want to limit it to watches that cost more than say $2k then it's a more interesting comparison.
Most of them may still have steel cases, but the case isn't the expensive bit. Many of them will have cases made from other materials, including variants on gold, titanium or other metals. Even there though.. the case isn't the expensive bit.
There's nothing special about mechanical watches. They are outdated technology rebranded as jewelry
Outdated? Watch manufacturers are still inventing new materials so that they can advance the state of the technology. There is cutting edge research in this space, and just because you don't understand or appreciate it does not make it outdated.
I don't wear my sub-$10k mechanical watch (with its titanium case/bracelet) because it's jewellery, I wear it because I want something on me that can tell me the time. It does this, and does it bloody well, and does it using seriously fucking impressive engineering.
It doesn't have a soul and it's not as accurate as my rather cheaper solar powered Citizen watch. It has no magical meaning. I still like it, I didn't buy it because of marketing, I don't have to plug it in to charge it and it is pretty fucking special.
Slashdot Mirror
the relatively non-techie state I live in (Austin, Texas)
Remind me, is Austin the third largest tech hub in the US behind Silicon Valley and Seattle or did Denver knock it down to fourth?
Relatively non-techie compared to what, fucking Missouri?

Arbitrary violence is not justice.
No issue with them being biased, I just hate the hypocrisy about it.

Given that ooloorie doesn't appear to be a Trump supporter why are you demanding he does this?
Just fucking do it yourself if you feel that strongly about it.
There's nothing about Trump in that article. You're not even fucking trying, this is pure fucking projection.
Get a grip on reality, your mental health is at risk here.

Yeah, I don't have a Reddit account or post there because the whole moderation approach works to prevent actual discussion and conversation.
I do occasionally find useful posts via Google though when researching things.
Yeah. At a societal level keeping them in plain sight is beneficial, but why should Reddit have to deal with the content, behaviour and responses involved.
Well, apart from Reddit's blindness to comparable content and behaviour from people representing other parts of the political spectrum.
Trusting wikipedia on anything is dodgy these days. Trusting it on anything political or contentious is downright fucking naive.
if you do not like that label, don't use it
I agree with this. I wish other people would too.
Too many people label others, and then use that label to ignore their actual thoughts, feelings and preferences.
It's all identity politics and I've never seen that end well.

Whether you disagree or not, it makes a ton of sense.
I disagree with many of those viewpoints because they don't make any sense at all.
We clearly have different implementations of 'catflap'. Although I'd pity random rodents in my house, life expectancy is exceedingly poor.
it has to be absolutely clear whodunnit
Doesn't exist. Not to the extent that it can be codified in law without allowing
gets his head chopped off, only to be exonerated 30 years after the fact
Just say no.
I think violence to prevent harm is generally accepted. It's when you find out two days later and kill him that it's a crime, rather than if you come home mid-act.
I really don't understand why you are making things up instead of accepting the story.
A combination of laziness, comedic effect and making a point without needing elaborate detail.
I did. The actions of my cats are insured.
It's rare that I need to claim on an insurance policy, but they've always paid out when I have.
I've trained mine. "Come on, time to decide" now results in a commitment, one way or the other.
Having a catflap helps avoid the downsides of a poor choice either way though.
That's a pretty solid piece of evidence.
I'm reluctant to decry the science behind that evidence, but I'm much more reluctant to allow prosecution on the grounds, "You should have had a heart attack and you didn't"

Go for it.

I'm not sure even Microsoft could survive the resultant lawsuits.

most sub $10k watches are just stainless steel
Actually most of them are probably plastic. But if you do want to limit it to watches that cost more than say $2k then it's a more interesting comparison.
