I also believe in civil disobedience but everyone gets all surprised picachu face when people get arrested for breaking the law. Go ahead and do it, just don't be surprised.

I find there's often an agreement bias. If hundreds of Trump supporters had sat in the same time/place/manner on Jan 6 rather than what happened, would you have agreed with their arrest?

Did they break the law?

I'm a pretty strong free speech advocate but if you're going to engage in protest speech you should take the time to learn about well-established time/place/manner restrictions and not break other obvious laws.

Sidewalks are generally established free speech forums (there are others as well) and you should be able to say pretty much anything there. But you can't stand on the sidewalk and smash car windows and assault people and complain about your speech being silenced when you're arrested. I know that's not at all what happened here, just an illustration.

That said, even if you're doing everything correctly sometimes police will try to stop your speech if they don't like it. Always record such police interactions.

Edit I'm not advocating blind obedience. Civil disobedience is necessary and good, but don't be surprised when you get arrested. And if you think the laws they "broke" need to change, pressure your representatives to change it. But spoiler alert, both parties like being protected from protest inside the statehouses.

Ryzen changes their sockets less often too. I went from a 2600 to a 3700x to a 5800x with the same motherboard. Unless Intel really steps up their game I don't see any reason to switch back.

That would be hilarious. Now I want to see a Vegan Olympics kinds like the Special Olympics or the Paralympics, only they wouldn't do as well.

20-29oz. On the heavier end that's approaching a kilo.

I feel like this is a joke I'm not British enough to understand.

There is no bad situation that police can't make worse.

We have three teenagers. My 15yo son eats a whole frozen pizza by himself and then asks for more. Sometimes I buy six at a time.

Is this AI? Cats would never sleep on a bed lovingly made for them.

This strategy isn't new. War never changes.

They would probably agree with you on that one.

If they have all of those things (again) and still don't give us Medicare for all (again) I'm fucking done.

He has dozed at other events but he didn't actually here. It was a moment of prayer.

There are a million reasons to move out of California but there are a million reasons to not go to Texas.

This is good, thank you. I'm honestly surprised Australia is so open, but not completely.

I haven't even had a chance to look at this yet but I've been waiting for this for 20 years. Sharing with myself to look at later.

Honestly my expectation is election interference from everyone in & outside the US certainly including our two major parties and our foreign adversaries and allies. We do it to them, turnabout is fair play!

I understand that this has been a recent topic in the EU but I'd really like to see information on government positions on this in more areas of the world.
