  • What about burning crosses on someone's lawn, or flying Nazi flags? Lmao, they could just not burn the damn book. Usually, people being dicks don't have a army of people coming to their defence.

    Obviously you don't care, you aren't the one being personally attacked so you can just overlook it. But if this happened in a vaccum, you wouldn't be defending the Nazi burning a Torah infront of a synagogue yet here we are.

    Look, I hate the policies in the middle east as well, but I'm able to differentiate between individuals and governments. This is Muslim hate and nothing else.

  • There would be a justified outcry if a Torah was burned in front of a synagogue. The instigators would quickly be villefied and called Nazis. At the minimum, no one would be actively defending it.

    It shouldn't have to be against the law, but people are abusing to the point of starting riots. It's disturbing the peace. I lump this in with following people and screaming racial slurs constantly at the top of your lungs. Freedom of speech only goes so far, I'm okay with banning clear hate speech and similar actions.

  • Because they are using it to incite violence and hate. I'm big on the fuck all religions bandwagon but burning a religious text in front of said religious group is just being a dick.

    We tell people they can't do stuff with their property all the time, if it's affecting their surroundings negatively as is clearly the case.

    It's also always the same book that gets burned, there's clearly a heavy undercurrent of xenophobia. You wouldn't be asking this question if it was a Torah instead.

  • If it's for a specific website, it shouldn't be that hard to whip up a python script using selenium. It might not work for everything but you can change location and user agent from what I remember

  • I'm gonna post the whole article because it's garbage, has no substance and I don't believe people should click on the link. Do better, GameSpot.

    "Bethesda is about to launch Starfield, but what's coming next? Bethesda Game Studios is making The Elder Scrolls VI and then Fallout 5, so the studio is staying quite busy. In a new interview with GQ, Bethesda's Todd Howard shared a few new morsels about The Elder Scrolls 6 and discussed when he might retire from making games.

    Starting off with the game's announcement in June 2018, Howard said he often wonders if it was the right thing to announce it so early. "I have asked myself that a lot," he said. "I don't know. I probably would've announced it more casually."

    Howard also confirmed that The Elder Scrolls 6, or whatever it's called, does already have a codename but he would not reveal it. As for what he could say, Howard said the game aims to "fill that role of the ultimate fantasy-world simulator."

    "And there are different ways to accomplish that given the time that has passed," he said.

    Howard is 53 now and said it's "weird for me" to think about retirement, something he believes is a "long, long way off."

    "I want to do it forever," he said. "I think the way I work will probably evolve, but… look at [71-year-old Mario creator and Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto]. He's still doing it," Howard said.

    In addition to his duties on Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6, Howard is an executive producer on the new Indiana Jones game in the works at Machine Games"

  • Oh fuck off. They wanted it to spy on their own citizens and those of its allied nations. They wanted the same backdoor google, Facebook, Microsoft and all our telecom companies give them.

    I've seen a lot of bad takes but this takes the cake. There isn't anything virtuous about mass spy programs and no way was any actual chinese data even on the table.

  • "These new data suggest the top 130 feet of the lunar surface are made up of multiple layers of dust, soil, and broken rocks, Feng said. Hidden within these materials was a crater, formed when a large object slammed into the moon. Feng and his colleagues hypothesized that the rubble surrounding this formation was ejecta — debris from the impact. Farther down, the scientists discovered five distinct layers of lunar lava that seeped across the landscape billions of years ago."

    Just in case anyone thought it was actually going to be some type of structure like caverns or something like I did.

  • It's not always sex tourism. Of the people I was referring to, it was during a week-long fishing trip, the prostitution wasn't the reason for the trip and only occupied a small part of it.

    I think it's gross regardless and I'd rather none of it was a reality, so you'll have to find someone else to argue with.

  • Solar storms arent really a risk for small electronics, more so if they aren't connected to the grid. You wouldn't need a deep vault, more like a cupboard.

    There is a risk the hard drives wear out before society gets the grid back online and restarts producing hard drives though. We already don't have that many facilities and they would certainly be taken offline, and the knowledge to build those facilities, that might get lost properly when the storm would hit.

  • The corporations already have all the data, users literally gave it to them by uploading it. Open source only has scrapped data. If you start regulating, you kill open source but the big players will literally just shrug it off.

    Traditional artists already lost. It sucks but now we get to find out if the winner is all of society or only just Adobe and Shutterstock.
