As we see repeatedly and clusively proven over and over, one's agreement with Trump on a subject is inversely proportional to one's competence and understanding of that subject.
Exactly. Objective rules violations appear to be protected moderation. Subjective banning based on political difference is not good faith moderation, and is unprotected. I'm glad you can see the difference, and that it's not based on "users it doesn't like".
It’s not socially accepted in this country but incest is not uncommon. I make no opinion or judgement on someone else’s love, romance, or sexual choices.
It’s their decision as consenting adults.
Yes. On paper. By law. The owner is the apartment landlord/company.
There may be some difference if you’re, apparently, not in the US. But here the owner is different than the renter.
6mo -2yr is most common. But yes, many monthly rental options or 3mo options can be found.
I’m not siding with cable monopolies. I’m siding with property owners. The whole libertarian streak.
This puts limitations on proprietary owners as to choices they can make in utilities.
Keep in mind two other aspects here ignored in this discussion.
Pre wired rental properties tend to include the service as part of the rental price, OR, offer that service at a discounted rate.
Very few flat out block an alternative service choice. In most states, where I’ve been pre wired for one company where there were multiple options… using the other option was no more difficult than calling up the company and paying for an installation.
The only time I was told no, I passed on the location outright. You know, or should have known, your options when you sign the rental contract.
Much like living in an (owned) condo with a condo association or a community with a community association.
The rule and regulations are there up front.
This incident points to a broader general problem. The DANA was not just compared against that in the database, but added to the database. So the question someone should be asking with great urgency, how many DNA samples collected to eliminate someone from enquiries have also been added to the database? What about other opportunities to gather DNA, such as blood from accident victims, has that been used to expand the database?
'Hah, we finally got rid of the dastardly 230, now we shall- what do you mean we're being sued for all the money and thrown off every platform we don't own?! That's not how it was supposed to work at all!'
Just when you think the police literally could not find a way to sink even lower and show how vile they can be they somehow manage it...
How utterly monstrous do you have to be to have someone report being raped and have your first thought be 'I should run their DNA though the criminal database to see if I can arrest them while they're here'?
Forget 'looking into it' and 'committing to ending the practice' the scum involved need to be very publicly raked over the coals and fired because anything less is just going to reinforce the idea that the police are never to be trusted and leave victims out in the cold as they will rightly suspect that reporting anything to the police, even something as horrible as a rape, will just be exploited by the police for their own gain.

No, I fully understand. More than most here would.
As a developer who supports and uses the IDGAF tag for licensing.
It’s not conservative, its liberal socialism. From a standpoint that respects capitalism as a method.
I release free. If you chose to use it, modify it, copy it, sell it… so what.
The key aspect that I have an issue with is the idea that anything that comes from it must also be the same license.
I don’t see how code completely in the public domain can ever be “locked up”. It’s public domain.
In film many companies take public domain films and put them on a dvd and sell the package. Oldies. Something… Retro Flix.
You can buy the disc. The tape. Or go to the Internet Archive and download or stream it for free.
How is software any different?
Same thing with audio. You can buy public domain, songs or radio shows on disc. On tape. On a flash drive. Or download/stream it for free. Old Time Radio is a prime example!
How about books.
The largest collection of religious, spiritual, and myth texts is the Sacred Works archive. 100% free on line for browsing or download/saving. Or buy some or all the documents on USB.
How is public domain going to hurt software by locking it up when it’s literally not happened with other offerings?
And that’s a serious question, not baiting. I simply don’t understand the premise that completely public domain is bad.
very limited runs on a small number of titles is a sales gimmick
As much as small runs of any non-dominate format is.
They sell, which means people want them.
Doesn’t really matter why we like something. You may disagree with why we like something. If it sells, there’s a market.
Contrary to your belief I am not a Cult of Trump member.
I happen to like isolationism and self protection. He hit multiple aspects of those issues.
That outweighs the other concerns for me. Including his support of the terrorist government of Israel. Or whatever he feels about women.
now that he's openly boasting about being on Russia's side of the Ukraine issue
I do not know where he stands.
I have zero problem with Russia attempting to reunite previous Russian (predates USSR) territory populated by primarily Russian and related populations of no support Russian, not Ukrainian, governmental control.
I think Ukraine is a dictatorship at far greater risk and threat to the world than anyone else.
And it’s the ties to US politicians that keep me from ever voting for or supporting many who run for office. Be it Clinton or Biden. Ukrainian ties and support make it a no-go.
As I have said since 2015 I blame Clinton for the ethnic murders in Ukraine of Russian, Rus, and Gypsim peoples.
I despise the tax shelter for US politics.
I have a serious dislike for that government.
That is documented in my comments here and elsewhere long before trump took any position on the area.
IF NFTs were actually what their advocates claimed, Parker would have actually made the video impossible to remove from the internet (or more impossible, i suppose?). Because the immutable blockchain would retain that video in a publicly available location that can never be removed. That's the whole point of the public ledger. Thankfully, the best the NFT does is point to the actual video, which needs to be online for the NFT to mean anything, therefore doing literally the opposite of your stated goal.

Many have no clue just how integrated the modern computer systems in vehicles are.
Take Crs/Fiat. 100 percent of the system is software. There’s no manual override for any of the infotainment or comfort offerings.
Heated items are controlled by apps. Seat positions. Security settings. Safety. All apps.
Blow/brick anything in the system and ftw. Out of luck.
GM is a bit better with more secondary controllers and separated manual options and overrides for basic functions.
I don’t know about Mazda systems myself. But from my dodge and GM experience… if it’s closer to the Dodge method those car fixes are going to be expensive. And painful for drivers until a fix is done.
With a background of a country that has an awful record of repression and lack of respect for human rights plus using fake snow I would expect lower ratings The Olympics is so expensive only a few country's can afford to stage it which includes fascist repressive regimes so of course its a political event . There are so many events going on its not easy to provide live coverage that will accur at prime time in America

This looks like a violation of section 10.7. I'm sure he can have his opinion on vaccines. He just can't issue death threats.
So far, these cases are based on objective rules violations, and not political disagreement. For now, Truth has a superior moderation format.
