Yes but it's hard to investigate right-wing terrorists when you can't seem to take off these damn kid gloves.

A bit meta, but Is there a unified article anyone can point me to that discusses all the different fediverse video options (IIRC peertube is not the only one) with a overview of how their usage differs from youtube?

I've found peertube to be interesting ever since it was new, but have had very little luck finding anything I wanted on it when I've tried using it.

It does a little bit, I think.

Yes, our prisons should be safe for those who are confined within them. I agree with that, and that less people should be confined in the first place.

But there is a qualitative difference between "he was stabbed due to being a cop (or due to being THAT cop)" vs "He got into an altercation that resulted in him being stabbed, but which could have happened to anyone."

I think the kneejerk assumption is that he was targeted, which is worse IMO.

Not that I shed a single tear for the fate of Derek Chauvin, mind you.

They'd be too busy dealing with their heads exploding when they saw the color of his skin to complain about his long hair.

I was much more specific than that. I find you disingenuous and predictable. Also, I said Good Day, Sir.

Now do healthcare and education.

There’s exactly a 0% chance of getting 2/3 of the states on board with anything

Truly a sad state of affairs, and to use the language of the other poster, it does turn the constitution into a suicide pact from a certain point of view.

All this time she thought we were laughing with her.

Do even the magas want to read a book from mtg? I'm finding that doubtful.

Israel - we've only got until Thursday, quick let's kill a few more!

On Saturday, following several days of debate and a nearly six-hour meeting, the Harvard Law Review’s full editorial body came together to vote on whether to publish the article. Sixty-three percent voted against publication. In an e-mail to Egbariah, HLR President Apsara Iyer wrote, “While this decision may reflect several factors specific to individual editors, it was not based on your identity or viewpoint.”

What a crock of horseshit.

I'm not sure how you think I'm describing stochastic terrorism or inciting a riot other than to conclude you are being intentionally obtuse. Good day, Sir.

Stochastic Terrorism

No no. I can't say a magic word to my neighbor because his dog pissed me off when it shit in my yard and cause him to drop dead.

Nor can I non-maliciously say a word by accident that causes some random person in my vicinity to die.

But if I'm an irresponsible gun owner I can do both those things and more. Hence the false equivalence here:

“We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense.

So what about the rest of my comment?

I kinda feel there's a false equivalence there. I can't kill arbitrary people as a result of exercising my first and sixth amendment rights.

That was more or less my point.

I’d be happy to hear your point of view and refrain from attacks on your intelligence

Given that you pre-emptively attacked it, I doubt that very much. I'll save that conversation for someone else.

Good Day, Sir or Madam.

From the caption of that graph.

Ah, fair enough.

I didn't say it was.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

So we no longer find these truths to be self-evident, because they are in the wrong document? Fair point that the standing is therefore not equal. Nonetheless I quite value my life, and find it reasonable to expect my armed neighbors to be trained in a way to minimize the risk to me from from their 2A rights.

Still true that exercising the 1st and 6th don't empower you to kill any random person you see. The court's argument is a false equivalence.
