  • Should or shouldn't doesn't matter. The majority wants an account that doesn't require external verification.

    Ignore the fact that that's not truly possible. People will go to whatever platform makes them feel it's true the best.

    Being capable of effectively convincing people your platform will provide this is a baseline requirement to even start having this discussion. The anonymous Internet isn't something most people want

  • We have these in Lansing MI too! Part of the Satanic Panic back in the 80s involved kids playing D&D down in parts of the steam tunnels under MSU, which, I'm told, is much harder to do now unfortunately very fortunately since children don't know how to look out for a superheated steam leak and it was only a matter of time before a child got fucking bisected

    Ftfy

  • Everything exists for me has been the boomer mindset their entire lives. This is just the culmination of that, and honestly, fuck it. This is the least egregious example of their selfishness they've ever demonstrated. Spend your money Kings, we expected nothing more

  • Lol. No. The EU tariffs haven't even hit yet. They actually go into effect next week. The only way this is the time to buy is if you think trump is going to back down. He isn't. He's an egomaniac gambling with someone else's money. This is going to get a lot worse before anything recovers

  • Interesting! Though it's not actually Russia specific, they're just the most recent ones. The exact same thing happened before the American revolution. Everyone blamed the administrators working for him in the new world thinking they were deceiving the king. Actually, the king making his distain for the colonists clear was a major motivator towards revolution for many people

    Point being naive monarchism happens anywhere people believe their leader is divinely inspired or otherwise perfect and loving of them. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug

  • You're gonna want to include a little more info. This sounds crazy close to medical fraud and no one wants to become an accessory, so what job and are you qualified? Because qualified medical professionals own scrubs and people who aren't licensed medical professionals rarely need scrubs.

    Not accusing you of anything, but I thought you might want to know what's going through the mind of at least one person scrolling past your post who decided not to help.

    Explaining that info would make it more likely for someone to help out

  • Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like "/s" that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they're needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

  • Maybe. Unfortunately US law doesn't have a concept of "freedom to not worship", so it's tricky for atheists to push back against religious overreach because it's hard to prove the exclusive religious favoritism for Christians in this country as an atheist since atheists are by definition impossible to prevent from worshiping.

    It's a lot easier to just say hail Satan and then crush the snowflakes in court since now you are religious, just for a bullshit religion which they can't legally call bullshit on. Because that's the other thing. There is absolutely no legal test of faith. The court must take satanists specifically at their word and push no further. Christianity is a major established religion in the US which means Satan is widely recognized, so it isn't a random cult they can spin shutting down, and it is a religion so they can't pretend the satanist isn't covered by the first amendment protection.

    Basically US law is stupid and that makes claiming to be a satanist extremely legally expedient

  • Tearing down monopolies is an inherent good independent of the fact that the entire industry should be torn down with them. Be happy the court is willing to exercise their power to break monopolies at all. Doing so here normalizes doing it elsewhere

    Slazers' point that is is pocket change to apple however is an excellent point. If it forces compliance then it's still a win. We'll see what happens

  • Regardless of what the answer is, you are definitely not happy. Seriously my dude. Why are you being so aggressive? Miscommunication happens all the time. It isn't this big of a deal

    I have no agenda. Unlike you I don't give a fuck what someone else decides to do with their life. I'm not misreading or mischaracterizing anything. Chappelle roan has been astoundingly clear on her opinion. You're just not listening, and arguing against what you feel like arguing against. You're angry at a strawman and it's preventing you from actually talking about the topic seriously
