  • We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

    ?? So, discussing jury nullification by itself, or suggesting ‘crimes that have not yet happened’ - itself is not a violation (i.e. someone should disturb the peace) but suggesting that “someone should disturb the peace and everyone on the jury, should they be prosecuted, should advocate for jury nullification” is a violation of the ToS?

    I’m not understanding that part.












  • As a dumb American, it’s part of a continuing trend to support global fascism through batshit right-wing media outlets. Anything Murdoch owned and “other”. Here, it’s mutated into webcasts and twitter/“other” social media platforms, but the goal is always the same: Spin, deflect, gaslight, lie, deny, and keep oligarchs in power damn the cost. It’s ridiculously effective and very cheap, relatively speaking.

    What you’re describing happened to all our friends and family in the late 90’s / early-2000’s.

  • Back in the day, using Windows was essentially a long series of fucking around with configurations and trying different workarounds to get things to “go”. The actual using of the computer was, in a way, secondary.

    Nothing has changed. Many many years ago I bought a used Apple to try it out and was just - astounded at how little I needed to mess with things to get them to do what I wanted. It was all in settings. That’s it.

    Watching Microsoft leap headfirst into full evil is just like watching the seasons change.
