  • Not to imply Trump is at all similar, but Martin Luther King was arrested 29 times and even had the FBI tracking him.

    The idea that someone who is a convicted criminal or is being tried in a criminal case cannot participate in politics is a very dangerous precedent to set.

  • Expect this to happen over and over. His legal team are going to stall any and all trials as much as possible, hoping that they can be dealt with after the presidential election.

  • True, but when you already know what the doctor will suggest and don't have $250 to pay the copay, it makes it far easier to justify.

  • Yes. One aspect is high humidity, where there is more drag on the car because of the moisture in the air. Since Warren air has more capacity for moisture than low air, it means heat plays some factor in gas mileage.

    I'm sure there's tons of other factors that heat plays into as well, such as your engine running outside optimal temperature ranges or how much grip your tires have on the road.

  • They're called "job creators", pleb. You should be grateful they're even giving us this much! /s

  • I don't. Lemmy seems to have the same issue as Reddit where people are towards the extremes with the only moderate people being those who don't want to talk about politics in the first place.

    I like to listen to CSPAN while at work, especially their morning show "The Washington Journal" where most of the content are regular Americans calling in to talk directly to guests or about issues they feel are important.

  • If someone black asked you to make a black supremacy website, you can turn them away because you don't agree with their views, not because of their race. That's not discrimination, that's expressing your free speech rights via choosing who and what you associate with.

    If I don't agree with making an LGBT themed cake or website, it is legal so long as I'm willing to make any other cake/website for them. (I'm LGBT myself, mind you, but that's beside the point).

    Now if you make it so a Christian must make an LGBT themed creation for an LGBT person, then you are setting precedence that a Christian can go to an LGBT run business and force them to create something offensive to LGBT people.

    Remember, free speech protects all speech, not just morally correct speech. Even literal nazis have a right to free expression. What people do not have a right to is a platform. You can't force groups or people to give platform to views they do not agree with, that's a violation of their first amendment rights.

  • You don't seem to understand. Free speech is fundamental. If you make it so hate groups can't express themselves you open up precedent to making it so LGBT people can't express themselves.

    If you force people to platforming LGBT speech against their beliefs, it opens the legal argument that you need to give a platform to hate groups as well.

    This is about precedent, not morals. That's how free speech is codified in America. It is not like Europe where you can pick and choose what's legal.

  • Your racism example is a perfect example. No one is forcing you to give them a platform.

    We need to remember that cases like this are important in setting future legal precedence. If it becomes okay to force religious people to make LGBT speech, then legally a case could be made that we need to give platforms to people like nazis or pedophiles.

  • One of the major cases ruled on which this article no doubt references (it is behind a paywall app I can't read it) is the case where a web designer was being sued for refusing to make a pride site.

    That's overriding the rights of the designer, who would have been compelled to express and associate themselves something they do not agree with.

    Religious rights are free speech rights. You don't get to force people to not say or believe something just because you disagree with it. That goes true in reverse as well.

    Nothing is stopping you from going to a church and protesting its existence. That's completely legal and part of your free expression rights. At the same time however you don't get to dictate what they can and can't say either.

  • I'd rather not give up religious rights just to get my LGBT rights. You don't need to give up one to get the other. Forcing people to support something that goes against their beliefs is wrong, hard stop.

    It's crazy how people think there aren't religious LGBT people.

  • Try in another computer if you have one. The fact dd is limiting you to 5GB though doesn't sound good, not going to lie.

  • Part of being free and accessible for everyone is allowing defederation.

  • Try managing thousands of images with Unix timestamps for names with only the terminal. Or browsing the web.

    There's tons of stuff that is simply better done in a GUI.

  • It would be cool if democrats focused more on working class people, rather than just saying they do. That's literally all they need to do to win back millions of voters.

  • Crazy how focusing on what fundies want rather than trying to bring back manufacturing jobs or improving infrastructure means you lose votes.

    Who could have possibly seen this coming.

  • See replies to this comment.

    That's not necessarily the case. Most scripts will just run in the current environment (meaning your .bashrc will be used) and not define many/any arguments for commands like cp or rm.

    Your .bashrc file is read whenever you start a command line shell, so by the time you can even run a script you probably already invoked your aliases.

    Exceptions would be if you're running a script from cron or running the script from another shell like sh or zsh.

  • Be careful, as this can easily break many scripts.

  • 3DS is retro now. I am finally a boomer.

  • This isn't malicious compliance, it's compliance with the law to the very letter. Good job.
