  • Some would argue it's culturally imperialistic to impose US cultural sensitivities on the rest of the international English community. Wasn't the inventor of git Finnish? The entire world uses git.

  • Did you know that it’s illegal to say, “I wish someone would kill the president of the united states”?

    Nope: can't know things that aren't true.

    It's not a true threat. When someone said

    If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J.

    that, too, was rejected as a true threat. The Secret Service may pay you a visit, though.

    So, when are you not killing the president?

  • I think Jon was referring to the previous DNC strategies, which were heavily reliant on consultants.

    Opinion pollsters who don't try to challenge or move voters?

    So, yeah, sorta, but not in the way the DNC does it.

    What would be a more direct equivalent: the Center for American Progress writing it? Should they do that?

  • “Their project 2029 is going to be a rehash of all the consultant-driven, careful nonsense that has put them in this place… in a moment when the Republican Congress is passing one of the most devastating bills that we have seen in this country in forever,” he said.

    Was project 2025 consultant-driven?

  • physics too hard: nonphysical things can't kill? preposterous

    Basically. Pretending the harm of something physical going wrong (potential to cause real death) is at all comparable to the nonphysical going wrong (a jumble of angry words) is unreal. Lemmy confirms the premise that this discourse & the people spouting it are broken & senseless. The distinction between physical & nonphysical is lost on these loonies.

  • How do you control the course of a failing rocket? Are you claiming such misdesign is impossible?

    The fact remains that unlike with words, a physical potential of death & injury exists in what is technically a missile of significant weight carrying enough explosive substance to escape orbit. The difference between non-0 and 0 possibility of death/injury.

    Unless magic exists, words are incapable. Do you claim magic exists? How do mere words cause death without the personal responsibility of something else culpably choosing to take several steps of its own? Or are you arguing the sight of words have deranged you into a mindless killer? If so, maybe you're the real threat.

    Seems like you're arguing society is dangerous to life: I agree. That's not a valid argument against words, though.

    Again, total lack of perspective & sense.
