That’s a part of the Constitution itself, Article II, Section I, Clause I

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-2/section-1/

You’re posting propaganda when your statement has no source and is not supported by evidence

19.4% The percentage of Ukrainian land occupied by Russia, according to the Institute for the Study of War. Over the past year, Russia has gained just 0.79% of Ukraine’s territory in the grinding war of attrition, the Washington-based think tank said in calculations provided earlier this month to The Associated Press, underscoring the little progress Moscow’s forces have made despite huge costs in troops and armor.

Their kingdom is still defending itself incredibly well against the larger nation after four years, with Russia taking extremely heavy loses with no clear sign of victory on either side. The recent fighting has gained barely any ground at all for Russia

Richard ‘I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it’ Stallman?

That Richard Stallman?

(I know he has since changed his views, the ‘allergic to PR’ part just seemed to be a bit of an understatement. Not trying to start an argument, just thought that was funny)

Do EVs have connecting rods? The article does go into right to repair, sounds like the company is pro DIY repair so that’s promising at least.

FUTO also has this feature thankfully cuz I guess switched to Colemak two weeks ago myself

Hey, I work for canon in tech support right now. Trying to find a better job though haha

The craziest part of that article is

Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company’s (…) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).

So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn’t see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.

I shouldn’t be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.

I signed up and got an email with a link to the apk. I’d share, but it looks like it’s personalized to my email maybe? and it doesn’t work anymore

Zeezee already has a great reply. I’d also like to add that gender dysphoria isn’t the same as being trans, it’s possible to be trans and not have dysphoria

The first article doesn’t say he’s not fascist (unless I missed it somehow or it got lost in translation. I’m an English only pleb)

And I found the second article (in English 😅) since your link has it paywalled. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/29/trump-rally-fascism-politics

I understand the argument, but don’t find it overwhelmingly convincing. They even start the article mentioning how well respected historians believe he’s fascist, as well as former White House staff.

I’d argue that just because he’s not been totally supportive of violence doesn’t excuse the times he was promoting violence. And I think his actions show he would be more openly supportive of violence if he knew he could get away with it

Pretty sure it means

Galaxy Nexus (the smartphone): Android (OS) Ice Cream Sandwich (OS Version) Guinea Pig (Test Subject)

(So the new Android OS version, Ice Cream Sandwich, is being tested on the Galaxy Nexus phone)

It’s a bankruptcy auction, and he’s bankrupt because he was sued by Sandy Hook families. Some of those families gave money to the Onion to buy InfoWars so Alex Jones is losing his platform and his money.

It sucks for him more than it helps him really.

Wrong thread, this is postal workers withholding mail

Yes, they are not the same thing. That’s what a comparison is. If you think it’s a bad comparison, feel free to explain why you think so

What do you mean “doesn’t like”? The federal government “doesn’t like” citizens sending bombs in the mail, and they would deny you that, yes. I’m not sure what the point of your reply was, it doesn’t argue against anything I’ve said. Sounds like a straw man.

There’s a difference between individual mail carriers and the organization USPS or Canadian Post. And there’s a difference between dislike and illegal. I thought we already established that, is that something you disagree on??

Yeah Doug was just a tenuous reference to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’s secret Ruler of the Universe.

I agree, AI is problematic. In theory, that could work in my favor if I train it to be secretly biased towards my beliefs, and put in safeguards to prevent it from being retrained or removed. But I imagine in the real world that would fail spectacularly.

No system can be perfect with imperfect humans and bad actors at its core, and I don’t really think AI should have any power over humans. Sorry, I kinda brought this down a rabbit hole away from the original point of the post lol

Ah, well if enforcement is part of the thought experiment then that’s only a couple extra amendments. The clear enemy of fascism is democracy;

• Enforcement is led by an oversight committee that is democratically elected by the general population every four years

• The oversight committee is overseen by an AI trained in intellectual honesty, ethics, and democracy

• The AI is periodically trained and updated by Doug, a Minnesota resident who answers Survey Monkey questions on his opinion of ethics and democracy and is unaware of the consequences of his responses. Only the AI knows. No one else must know. Human bias has been conquered and postage peace has been achieved.

Not who you replied to, but let me give it a try if you don’t mind.

• All promotional mail must clearly state the organization it was created by and its intent. • Claims made to support that intent must be followed by evidence from an independent and peer reviewed journal, study, or survey from within the past 20 years and clearly cite those sources. • And must provide at least one source that disagrees with the claim if one exists.

If I can’t stop fascists sending mail, I’ll make sure the recipient has some tools and knowledge to debunk their bullshit. Also it will filter out low effort bullshit, and make factually wrong discrimination more difficult.

I understand that. I’m reading way too many laws already lol

If the letter is determined to be unlawful, there’s a provision that allows Canadian Post to not deliver the letter. It’s a whole process that the mail carriers did not follow. Maybe if they had tried, and used the argument that it was unlawful discrimination or harassment to deliver the fliers, they would have had a leg to stand on. It seems that they didn’t, they took matters into their own hands, and they were punished accordingly.

To be more clear, I’m not arguing against the punishment. Just the fliers and if they could be considered unlawful
