How can you see anything anymore?

Campaign contributions greater than $n from people and greater than $0 from corporations

Super PACs?

To say nothing of have, an, or, and a.

You can make a line break by ending your sentence with two spaces and then a line break.
Only using one space or none will instead treat the line break in your comment as just a space.
\ Ending a line on a \ will also make a new line

Two line breaks in a row while making your comment will make a paragraph break

I mean, only insofar as that's true of anything illegal?

When you define a word loosely enough, it can cease to be meaningful. When most people hear "opposition to censorship," they're not going to expect the reference to be advocating for the legalization of public and deliberate slander or open threats of violence and attempts to incite violence.

Using the phrase in that way may not be technically incorrect, but it is still misleading at best and disingenuous at worst. Again, you are welcome to your view of what constitutes censorship and the belief that it is always, ipso facto, abhorrent, but I don't think that view leaves any room for meaningful discussion about this case, so I don't think I'll be engaging any further. Call it self-censorship if you like.

When I was like 8, I allegedly ... Illegally acquired... A beanie baby. I .. may have just carried it out of a mall while Christmas shopping.

This is all hypothetical, of course. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that a tiny stuffed ferret was as close as I was going to get to owning a ferret. That would be silly.

I have three identical monitors in a row. Primarily I use the center one, for productive work and gaming, but often I'll have something up on the second screen that I'm working with as well. It's more rare that I actively use the third one, but some tasks have more than two or three windows and now I can see all of them full size at once.

I've occasionally used them as a single ultra wide screen for gaming, but since then I've gotten an hmd for VR and that is better.

We're also monkeys, if there is such a thing. Some monkeys are more closely related to apes (and thus to us) than they are to other monkeys, so if there's any group that can be called the "monkey clade," we are in it.

I guess you're welcome to that opinion. Just as one would be welcome to the opinion that literally stalking someone should be legal.

Many kinds of speech are very broadly considered okay to restrict, even in places like the USA where "unlimited free speech" is a big motto. It's illegal to slander and libel people, for example. That it's illegal in many cases to verbally harass and abuse as well should be fairly non-contentious.

Yes. "Fighting words," credible threats, and other such aggressive language are generally illegal, even in the USA.

If any language being illegal is automatically censorship, then I don't think censorship isnecessarily bad in every case.

New Geneva conventions list of war crimes:

1. Wars

There are plenty of examples of companies challenging the legality of regulations and winning, and other cases of apparent corruption among judges.

Gigabit fiber is a thing, and not at all uncommon in a lot of places.

I mean maybe they decided it was going to be easier to buy a judge than another FCC chair?

It's the only way to be sure!

Game over, man! Game over!

I love this game. I got it at launch and never had a problem, and I've played like two complete 100% games already before the dlc, now on my third one.

There's not a lot most people could do if the USA decided to impose the entire might of their military and economic power.

So do you prefer venmo, or ...?

I was under the impression that limbs "falling asleep" was more of a nerve thing and not a circulation thing. Is that not true?
