yeah look at the recent dumps and insight into moderation and it's quite clear supporting "free speech" was smoke and mirrors. combined w/ the security lapses it's pretty jarring.

gab got de-platformed and the mob didn't come for anybody else...the world moved on. not everything is a slippery slope. tons of people criticizing it on twitter/fb and they aren't being censored.

because they are a platform that tends to host the type of people that actively plot to overthrow our gov't? lol i don't understand where this intellectual both sides type argument comes from. they literally do not pass the sniff

yeah... i would agree if there was actually a "debate" happening. anecdotally i can say the majority of people who are 100% on board his stop the steal stuff are not discussing in good faith. at some point you stop paying attent

honestly, good riddance. you can argue the merits of all this stuff "intellectually" about free speech and what not, but it doesn't pass the sniff test. and twitter is a private enterprise. he's free to go off to parl

This kind of stuff always saddens me because it's a lose lose. It's like "you know it when you see it", and maybe in a certain instance this kind of block is used for good. But often times it just eventually becomes th

I think the people who keep pushing on "freedom to choose" and what not do not understand human nature, as if these laws are the only thing stopping restaurants from enjoying economic success. I know business owners want to peg t

The frustration I have is that some conservatives won't even agree to that framing. It wasn't they were choosing policy over character, it's that they see nothing wrong with his character. I've had many arguments w&#x2

Seriously, all these mental gymnastics of how the media is portraying him and what not is interesting. Like just reading his twitter feed with zero context and I can already tell.

uh what, more likely because disease resistance? places like SK absolutely are doing well because of policy difference. Restricting access in, robust contact tracing, phased levels of lockdown that are clear and unified. Some of these wou

is it just me or that entire site is like a dog whistle for conservative leanings. i mean all the words like being against "cancel culture", etc. talking about how the new york post wouldn't be able to release the biden stor

i mean i don't think they might be flat out offering 20% or over, but i have realtor friends that quite commonly do the whole "closed in X days, 15% over asking cash!". so obviously people are coming in with high bids intend

okay, now what if the $100 widget is purposely set up to obfuscate the transaction/trail and the actors involve help you (like say a new developer that is wink wink) and the $200 increases your chances of getting caught? i think nobody

I mean you're misrepresenting what I said. I'm not handwaving away what they say as brainwashing. I'm just saying that the gov't has an inordinate effect of influence on their population. I don't view propaganda a

lol what? i'm sorry but this is IMO A really unrealistic and way too optimistic take. if you look at the trajectories there is no happy hand holding here at the end. both countries cooperate so much as to benefit each other for the tim

how is seoul not on that list? anecdotally i've seen the median price nearly double in the last 5 years. gov't is trying all kind of tricks to cool it off.

i always found this argument lacking, like what is that supposed to show me... that there were these 20 times he denounced them and then this VERY publicly one time he didn't? like imagine this was like child trafficking or something.

look at any country with open policies. attendance at theaters and the like are at record lows. spending is down. broadway in NYC runs on tourism. you might survive for a few months, but if the science is correct, you will just shut down a

by ookblah 6y ago
yeah, keep acting normal, that's sure to bring back tourism and economies. broadway just cancelled all their shows until may of next year, a pure business decision, nothing to do with gov't policy. i understand we're anxious

lol, at the risk of sounding callous there exists a certain set of user that is indeed "stupid" for lack of a better word and it's not worth wasting the last 10-20% of your team's time trying to account and perfect your

having tried everything from convox to fargatecli, deployfish ,etc. in the end i just ended up using pulumi to set up the basic infrastructure components and writing my own bash scripts to deploy tasks and services to ECS using the AWS cli.

no, i don't agree with this take. it's just chicken/egg then and figuring out who started it first. i don't condone the riots or excuse the people obviously trying to take advantage of the situation sow chaos/loot
