Nope, sure don't.

When Israel decides they want to recognize the rights of the Palestinians, as far as I'm concerned, they're welcome to come out and play.

I'm okay suppressing vile points of view such as racism, misogyny, and nationalism, as I said. I, for one, welcome a world where those ideas aren't welcome.

I'm not familiar with the way Nintendo treats their customers. Can anyone fill me in?

Who said they should?

Fascism is in no way related to socialism. They are about as opposite on the political scale as you can get.

Who ever said anything about politicians controlling who can have press conferences? I can't even characterize that as a straw man, because it has no basis in anything I said.

I'm totally okay with suppressing the influence of an apartheid state. Are you? Pretty much everyone was racist 120 years ago. Less, even, but, still 120 years ago is a safe buffer. I don't think building monuments to people wh

Yes, that was my actual point: > After a socialist regime is established, however, I know of no form of socialism that encapsulates violence as a core concept.

Maybe, but I'm not even sure if there are many Zoroastrians left, much less whether they're racist or not.

I love how you ignore the last 3 words of the comment.

No, it really isn't. It's both. That you choose to believe that "far right" is some ineffable quality does not mean others may not 'ef' it. In all honesty, both major American parties are quite right wing.

Zionism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembl... You're welcome. I'm pretty okay with the Abe Lincoln angle, but the yoga article is ridiculously fringe thinking that nobody could poss

So? We could start a "government information bureau" to fix that, if we wanted.

If Donald Trump holds a press conference and nobody comes, does it make a sound?

This is true. Revolutions need not be violent. It's simply the case that the vast majority are. Revolutionary socialism does not reject revolution simply because it may be violent. Rather, it accepts violence as a possible necessar

Indeed, those people had 4 years of evidence to see what exactly they were voting for. Those 75 million people get no pass from me. Maybe the first time, but not the second.

Way to deliberately mischaracterize the First Amendment.

They did. That's when California started going big on gun control.

I'm pretty okay with silencing racism, fascism, nationalism, and misogynism, myself. How about you?

Why not? Deplatform all the politicians -- at least the 95% who actively lie and work against the interests of the American people. While we're at it, kick them out of Washington on their asses. Nothing of value will be lost.

Certain forms of socialism ("revolutionary socialism") explicitly reject electoralism, reformism, and incrementalism as means toward change. After a socialist regime is established, however, I know of no form of socialism that enc

This is a very, very biased source on the matter. The Wikipedia article on guide horses is much better in that regard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guide_horse Note also that the wiki article is not entirely positive

I'm also puzzled as to why the benchmark of the monstrosity would have been faster. How is it not doing the exact same work as read()'ing 4KB, and then writing out the same to the destination file? And, as you said, 3x the syste

Apparently nothing, as the article states Amazon has a history of doing similar things with a fundraising site associated with Gab.

TIL "benchslap" is a word that's been in use for some time: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/benchslap I thought it was just a clever pun at first.

No matter how you slice it, it all eventually comes down to energy. We know how to generate power with minimal CO2 emissions, but we don't do it at the necessary scale. We know how to recycle, but we don't actually do that,
