Came here to point this out. Unfortunately everything is politics. As another commenter mentioned this includes a lot of gang stuff and suicide when someone is old enough to purchase a gun. I’ll update this comment when I find the source bu

I think this is a little less sinister than you are making it out to be. To me, it reads as the intent of those exemptions is because those sites (CNN, Fox, ESPN, etc) exercise editorial discretion around what content is posted and, presuma

In the words of Sandra Day O'Connor "I know it when I see it." The problem you've highlighted with defining what porn is is not a new debate and as you've admitted we'd be here all day - and likely still not ag

You’re hiding behind it being a memoir as if that’s a meaningful distinction or somehow the interest in discovering identity outweighs the harm in having sexually explicit material in schools. If Riley Reid put out a graphic memoir about te

Yeah nice try, buddy. If I post the blowjob scene from Gender Queer here u/dang is going to ban my account, but you’re free to google it and say whether or not it’s more explicit than a woman baring her breast. While we’re at it, how u

What’s your limiting principle here? Should schools also carry old Playboy magazines? They’re less sexually explicit than drawings of two underage kids blowing each other. Are the straight kids not horny? Should there also be straight porn

I think Lenovo has a website somewhere where you can explore the bios for most of their laptops. IIRC, most of the thinkpads still support s3 sleep and are pretty Linux friendly (unfortunately I do not have personal experience with this, ju

I don’t know why you’d spend so long typing out such a long piece of what is just patently misinformation. It border line reads like you just harbor animus towards the US and wanted to seize on an opportunity to malign it. If you made 31k&#

There’s lies, damned lies, and statistics. This is one of those often misrepresented statistics. The divorce rate for first time marriages is much lower - off the top of my head I think it might be sub-20%? This statistic gets skewed becaus

There should be a new game where we see how quickly someone will bring up Roe whenever SCOTUS is mentioned even if it’s completely irrelevant. My new fun game aside, you might be confusing 2 different concepts: some form of legal/judic

Came here to echo this sentiment. I even bought from a specialized Linux laptop retailer hoping that the hardware would have been selected because of its Linux compatibility; either an upgrade from Ubuntu 20 to 22 or a kernel upgrade or an

The loans they are proposing do not require any down payment, have no closing costs, and do not factor in credit score. There are a couple things here that are predatory in the same way that the loans in the 90's-00's were. First,

I am not commenting on anything to do with the discussion at hand, purely just commenting on Wikipedia and the idea of "primary sources." Wikipedia articles are not really vetted by any authority nor are the sources. Anyone can si

The fact that you think you know what’s best for all parties involved is exactly why we protect/value free speech the way we do in the US.

I don't think discussing the limiting principal behind your stance is waxing philosophical. We live in a liberal society that generally upholds free speech, that society is made up of institutions, corporations, and individuals; arguab

You're being intentionally dishonest. Their stance is not as simple as "banning the nazis was wrong. We need to bring back the nazis to our platform." They are pretty explicit in saying no company should be exercising the pow

You should entertain the idea that they claim they have a stronger responsibility to the principals of free speech than the communities you claim are harmed by their customers content.

You seem to be pretty active in comments for this post and you have made several arguments around the ideas that: * CF is not a utility and is not bound by the First Amendment (although you keep saying free speech) * CF is somehow immoral b

As another commenter already pointed out, you’re treating first amendment and free speech as synonymous. If you request that others be precise with their language you should too. This could be a free speech issue although not a first amendm

Just stating the type of fallacy being made is not evidence the fallacy occurred. You should qualify how the goalpost is being shifted. I don’t see any evidence to your claim.

Not sure if you’re accusing me of making my story up, I wish I were. In regards to my writing needing editing, it’s a comment on a post on HN - you kinda get what you pay for. As for your comment about where I stand after reflection, it see

I haven't read through all of those but did want to add that it may be warranted to have this discussion ("is HN becoming reddit?") at different points in time as both communities have changed a lot since 2007 - i.e. its poss

Where its most become like reddit is the concentration of the politically motivated users and how quickly they act to shut down any discourse they find unsavory. Reddit became very homogenized because of how quickly the left wing activists

To be curt, that Tacoma is actually really really a hit or miss shithole. The part of Tacoma you're finding those apartments in, I can almost guarantee if you visit will not be the part of town you want to live in. If you look at the c
