If you want to do business in a country, then you have to follow the laws of that country. Polish courts would enter judgment against the company for violating Polish law, premising their jurisdiction on the activities of that company withi

Those deaths are almost all among the extremely old or extremely unhealthy. Consider that that vast majority of doctors and nurses are neither.

Not everyone did. Only virtue signaling addicts like Cuomo and Newsom.

Everyone said this would happen but Cuomo was more interested in virtue signaling about vaccine priority lists. Meanwhile, Florida has required all vaccine doses to be distributed, out of priority order if need be, and hospitals that fail t

Gab’s position is that they will censor no more than the law requires.

I said exactly what I meant to say. Saying that the government ought to be overthrown is a long protected American right. The book stores are full of books arguing just that. People taking you up on it is not your problem.

Conspiracy theories that might drive someone to violence are protected speech in this country. Many “conspiracy” theories have proved true, e.g. the CIA’s insane antics in the 50s-80s. We don’t have a Committee of Truth that determines what

Beyond the tragedy of the commons w/r/t the general public, the other problem (or maybe a specific aspect of the same problem) is that the commercial beneficiaries of shorter copyright are companies and projects that don't ex

Yep, there's no substitute for a qualitative understanding of the system.

Best place to start is to have a good mental model of how things work and why they would be performant or not for a particular use case. Otherwise you're just taking shots in the dark.

“I was born this way” is no longer the thinking w/r/t homosexuality. It was a short-lasting trope actually, probably more political than scientific in origin. Modern theories leave some room for genetics but nothing like what the

That’s a logical fallacy if I’ve ever seen one. Bill Barr has his reasons, I’m sure, for saying what he said. That doesn’t mean he’s right.

Human beings are not dogs. The law treats them as autonomous. Getting people riled up and angry and encouraging them to protest is not incitement just because a few of them take it too far.

"Fight like hell" does not mean violence. Political groups "fight" for this or that all the time. And yeah, go to the capitol to protest, like the vast majority of people did. Only a tiny percent had anything to do wit

Trump did not incite violence. If anything, the media this summer was much more involved in inciting and fueling the BLM riots.

Political opinions are not incitement.

The concepts and values of free speech and open discourse are more than the legal requirements of the First Amendment. Coordinated private censorship by oligopolistic platforms that have largely replaced the public square is contrary to the

In Florida, bars and restaurants are just about fully open and everything is just fine.

Incredible that everyone in this thread just takes the word of this person like it’s the gospel. Did it occur to you that maybe she is being less than candid about exactly what she said?

I think he means the thousands (and rising) of people shot by criminals every year, not the few dozen shot by police.

Yes, the actual socialists and other economic leftists are the big losers right now. Biden admin will push idpol nonsense to the extreme while not delivering anything worthwhile for the economic left. Next four years will be a feeding frenz

Normal payments are not debt. If you want to buy a tv at a store, they can decline cash as a form of payment. You don’t owe them. The tv in your cart at the checkout aisle is still theirs. There is no debt . But if you bought that same t

It sounds like you’re not really a libertarian then. Fwiw, this consequentialist (rather than deontological) view of libertarianism that you’re espousing is what turns libertarians into either liberals or conservatives.

Sorry to be pedantic, but I don’t think that’s right. 31 U.S.C. 5103 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/5103 ) says “United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating no
