Bourbon isn't unique to Kentucky, though. It may have originated here, but plenty of other places make it. It doesn't even have to be from Bourbon County in Kentucky to count as bourbon, it just has to follow certain standards of how it's made.
Which is exactly why the whole Gruyere thing is silly. Maybe if they were arguing that cheese which doesn't meet a certain standard of production shouldn't be called Gruyere, that would make sense. But just saying "If it's not made here you can't call it that" is plain silly.
He doesn't care where it's coming from, and is intentionally avoiding learning about it. Because he's pushing the narrative that the media is out to get him, so why would he ever trust what the media publishes? It's all about riling up his base, and he knows the chances of him paying any consequences for this are basically nil.
We let the government decide what is right and wrong all the damn time. That's why we have laws governing actions (drunk driving) as well as speech (libel/slander).
What I am talking about here is bypassing your workplace firewall to access block material.
Which is completely irrelevant to the subject at hand. The topic is the NHS choosing to block comments left with certain keywords. As in text. As in, the content of the message. A VPN won't do shit to prevent that.
We've explained it to him, multiple times. He's either ignoring the explanations because they don't agree with his worldview, or he knows damn well how this works & is just trolling because he's that pathetic.
Misinformation is incorrect information, but not necessarily meant to cause harm. (ie. out of date information or misunderstood information)
Disinformation is intentionally false & meant to cause harm. (ie. "Don't vote, the government will use that information to place you under surveillance.")
Malinformation is true information, but presented so as to cause harm. (ie. "Hunter Biden worked for a Ukraine company, that must have been for something illegal.")
This request seems like an attempt to gather evidence from individuals who were banned or had posts removed from those platforms. Yeah, it looks scary, but when you're trying to piece together a plot to interfere with the electoral process by invading Congress, I'm not surprised they want to see the posts that may have led to its planning.
We need a sane conservative party as a check on all this warmongering
Where did you get the idea that conservatives would be the ones to put a halt to warmongering? Traditionally, it was the "bleeding heart" left that was anti-war.
I think both parties need to be purged and rebuilt from the ground up.
That's a nice platitude, but it's never going to work. Because after you "purge" those parties, the new ones will be... staffed by the exact same people. Sure, the big names might change, but the core members will be the same people working under the new parties.
To racists, it's a horrible slur to be identified as a racist. In their mind, being a racist involves hoods and burning crosses; anything less than that can't be racist, so pointing out their discrimination against minorities is an insult.
Because it's not just a few agents, it's the whole damn organization. You can't just shut it down, the FBI serves a vital part of the Executive branch prosecuting federal law. And you can't just replace it whole-cloth: you'd either end up rehiring the same corrupt people into the new org, or you'd spend a decade getting an entirely new staff up to speed (and they'd likely still have ties to the old staff).
But, even ignoring the fair use argument, this is just so stupid and pointless. Chavez was giving free advertising and promotion to an amazing moment at the Olympics
Ah, but that's the point. They don't care about free advertising for the Olympics. They want to funnel everyone to NBCs site to watch this moment, not see it for "free" on Twitter.
Won't do any good. These legislators know it's unconstitutional, they just don't care. They're passing these laws to pander to their base, and then they can cry about "activist judges" when it gets struck down. It's entirely performative.

Well, I mean it's not the Freedom Of Information Until We Change Our Minds Act.
Re: Re: Something I feel deserves more attension
No, they don't actually care about CSAM. This is entirely a wedge bill to force tech companies to let them go through everyone's private messages.

Re: Re: Re: Some context would be nice
They're not commenting on the time it takes, but on the fact we don't have a criminal justice system, we have a criminal revenge system.

Re: Re: Re: Totally without merit
It is if you're bypassing the laws around gun transfer as part of your marketplace.

There's no reason to expect the new CEO of Twitter will be any different from Jack.
Re: Totally without merit
I take it you're entirely unaware of the case law around being an accessory to a crime?
War Crimes
I've been in meetings that certainly felt like torture, but I don't think the Geneva Conventions cover video conferences.

Re: "Malinformation"?

Re: The Durham Report is finally coming out
The problem is, how do you stop them?
