Yes, that was the joke. Note that notch656a has posted pro-2A comments elsewhere in this hellthread.

A person who moves from Idaho to PR doesn't immediately become a citizen of PR, just like with France and Germany. They would still be eligible to vote absentee as a citizen of Idaho unless and until they become a citizen of PR. Heck,

Can you blame us, though?

Anyone who wants to legally drive or buy alcohol already has the required ID. Those that somehow do neither but still want to vote might still have a state-issued ID card for other ID purposes, and if they don't, well, the infrastructu

If they have become a citizen of PR and aren't solely there on vacation (I believe the laws that define state citizenship themselves vary state-by-state), yes, they can't vote in federal elections. There are still local and terr

Advertisements. The plant is printing political advertisements in a newspaper-like format. How interesting that an article about misleading usage of printing presses has a misleading headline.

"Life-changing decision?" My friend, you are signing up for an internet microblogging system, not getting married. I guess you're talking about what instance to create an account on, right? Well, you can create accounts on di

Precisely. The closest high speed rail train station to where I grew up would be… three hours away, maybe? And no, there are no regional trains I could take to get there. I don't think there are any buses either. The entire state is no

Thank you for proving my point. Please look at a map of California and notice that the SF Bay Area is not directly south of the Oregon border; there's a huge space there. That's where I lived. It takes about as long to drive f

I voted against high speed rail because it it wouldn't be serving anywhere near my area - I get it, the majority of the population lives on the coast between the Bay Area and San Diego, but why increase the tax burden on the people who

Then call them "posts." Everyone knows what that means, it's not Mastodon-specific, and it's not a euphemism for something associated with bodily function that I'm aware of.

Judging by how all the Mastodon sites seem to have minor CSS changes at most, I'd say not in any significant way. But there are other front ends for the Fediverse network. Perhaps check out instances running Pleroma, Misskey, or Soapbo

Yes, on Twitter, the fediverse ("Mastodon"), and other social networking services, it's typically quite trivial to build an echo chamber such that you rarely see opinions you don't want to see. "But nazis exist on t

All right, well, I respect you for trying, at any rate. Politics just poisons everything, I suppose.

I've seen a couple "free speech" instances in the list, yes.

You're overthinking it. Find an instance that seems friendly and sign up. If it turns out you don't like it there, you can migrate to another one; barring defederation issues, everyone who is following you on the old instance will

Did you make the arguments in good faith and in a manner inviting productive discourse, or did you mock and name-call? I'm not saying that doing the former won't get you blocked too by rightists who basically just want their own e

My framing is honest because we're not only talking about people who hate Jews here. We're talking about people who do not accept the "correct" narrative on things like the results of major elections, medical science and

You can block users on Twitter, yes. In fact, in some circles, "block chains" (no relation to the crypto-related tech) are popular; the idea being that you use a script to not only block one person, but subsequently block everyone

Yes, the shitheads will go where they are tolerated. So do people who aren't necessarily bad people but still want to share opinions which may be outside what is currently the orthodox way of thinking. If that alone makes someone a shi

Yeah, I saw the 90-day-thing-plus-severance in a later article. Assuming that's the one that's true… Jesus, that's a life-changing firing.

The way I've put it in other threads is: the "free speech" fediverse, the "safe space" fediverse, and the MAP fediverse. It's a bit unfair to solely consider American politics - there are plenty of Europeans on

Government fetishism. The threat they "post" to some abstract concept like "the republic" is not more important than the threat they pose to their fellow man.
