Some people watch too much History Channel. My first thought on that page was, " These people must hate rails as much as I do. "

Examples in Leadership, per Wikipedia: Firing no shot in his defence, his troop numbers swelled until they became an army. On 5 March, the nominally royalist 5th Infantry Regiment at Grenoble went over to Napoleon en masse. The next day th

An extravagant display of corporate house slave privilege. Most people, even those among the "golden billion," have much bigger problems than gender pronouns. Think about waitresses or cashiers. Most could care less if you call

Not sure if some boomer accidentally tazing his own balls qualifies as an armed insurrection. In our heyday, our representatives would duel over points of honor. Nowadays, all it takes is a swarm of elderly neckbeards to make them cower be

Only an ideologue would buy that. So many threats, plots, doxxings, stalkings left unmoderated on Facebook and Twitter--and that's only summer of 2020! This is clearly retaliation for the H1-B caps / S230 threats of the outgoing

I think this hyperbole has more to do with the H1-B caps and the Section 230 saber-rattling than anything that actually happened on Parler. Trumpism came close to inflicting a hemorrhaging wound on their business models, but it missed, and

More bad-faith argument than refresher on CNN's part. The right (or lack thereof) to someone else's platform is well understood. What they are intentionally ignoring here are the procedures and protections typically extended t

By cheering this on, many people here are supporting a barrier-to-entry that they also fall short of.

In a way, yes (even in the US). You still have to pay for it, but there is a litany of rules and procedures they must follow before they can cut you off. Kind of like the foreclosure process. They can't cut a customer's power o

Intention... Potentially... Hostages and executions in an alternate reality do not justify corporate absolutism in this one.

Just like comparing a guy who took a dump on Schumer's desk to a guy who flew a plane into a building and killed thousands of people.

> according to whom? According to history, common sense, and several world religions. What doesn't "advance" as an argument is using a senile boomer self-own chimpout as a justification for FAANG absolutism. One of these

With 9/11, the planes were just a catalyst. The greatest harm, we did to ourselves.

One thing the Chinese get right: high-level executions. When the blood cries out, I doubt it's to send a paltry $2.5B to the feds.

Where did I say browser? Separate apps (and protocols), instead of jamming everything through web, is a feature, not a bug. There is (or was anyway) more to the internet than HTTPS.

We used to do all of those things with Windows 95, 64M of RAM, and a 2GB hard drive.

The browser is silicon valley's weapon of choice in its war against humanity. Don't think of it as updating . Think of it as reloading .

Pinochet, Franco, Musharraf, Gaddafi, Hussein... Recent history says military dictatorship. Then they can loot in the open, instead of hiding it behind a matryoshka of shell companies and nonprofits. Lean times ahead for the lawyers!

This does not seem like a good faith reply. We already have simple labels for things like: organic, free range, BST-free, grass-fed, etc. "No bugs" would fit right in.
