161·1 year agoWhich law? in which place? at what time ?
Where it’s hosted? where it’s being accessed? the intermediate locations ?
Which license, is the license enforceable in this context? who decides if it is? what if there are conflicting decisions from different applications of law, who arbitrates?
Do you mean piracy in the maritime sense? or do you mean copyright infringement? perhaps trademark infringement? or intellectual property theft? based on which law in which geographic region ?
This isn’t even hyperbole, the things you are talking about have nuance and context, pretending they don’t is a failure of imagination or intentional trolling.

11·1 year agoThe law is the law in the very specific contexts in which it applies and is heavily open to interpretation and bias, which is (in theory) why trials and lawsuits exist.

1·1 year agoSo I gave you two examples that match your criteria and you still can’t figure it out. Got it.
…or …perhaps you did figure it out …and have moved the goalposts again… dammit , can’t believe I fell for that, congratulations.

1·1 year agoI mean, I gave you a whole narrative about moving goalposts, if you can’t get it from that im not sure im qualified to help you.
Hmm , actually, there is this I suppose but that’s a lot more words than the previous reply so … It could go either way.

21·1 year agoThat’s some quality engineering at work there, are you using some of them in-post hidden motors like the sketchy cyclists ?
I can’t even see any wheels.
I thought for sure them goalposts were fixed in to the ground, but no, they just zipped on by at a rate of speed.
Is that a thing you have to apply to some formal committee for?
Or do we have to ask you specifically whether or not it qualifies?
Ooh maybe there’s ASCII symbol for it like ® or © ?
Oh i see where my confusion is coming from, you’re the personification of a county.
That is entirely my bad for thinking you were talking about either voting population or actual population, neither of which has a vast majority of anything.
You were just talking about how you and your swing state county personification buddies won out by a narrow margin.
What were there, like 10 of you, 12? i suppose 7 or 8 out of ~12 could be considered a vast change.
You have defeated me sir (or whatever the pronoun for a county is) , with unassailable logic, facts and a true understanding of statistics and the word “vast”.
I concede.
Just realised that if you are struggling with “vast” you might not understand what a personification of something is, if so , disregard all of the above it isn’t going to make any sense.
Dammit forgot the rating.
Repeating of a factually incorrect statement, self-proclaimed victory over a position not claimed or proven.
1/10 - lacks originality, no personal attacks, no strawmen, no fallacies at all as far as i can tell, not even a single slur.
A single easily provable mis-truth and then a self proclaimed victory over an imaginary battle, what is this amateur hour?
If a gambit doesn’t land, you switch tactics or double down, come on now, it’s like you aren’t even trying.
Moving goalposts again? you’ve already used that twice, le sigh
“vast majority” and “majority” aren’t the same, i specifically called out the vast part…but you do you.
yes, finally an lgbt dig i was losing hope at this point but i get it now, you were keeping it in reserve, i can’t wait to see what you do with the immigrants, perhaps even we can hope for some drag queen action?..wait no, don’t tell me, i want it to be a surprise.
a bit weak after that though
provable unlikelihood presented as fact x2 , then lie that is easily provable and contradicts your own stance ( and still fundamentally misunderstands the difference between regular and voting population )
You did get the slogan in though so some extra points for that, weird capitalisation, but close enough.
hmm, a tough call this one…i’ll give it a 6/10, a couple new bingo entries but repetition and self contradiction are fairly weak.
Easily provable lie, hope stated as fact, victory claimed on position never stated.
Come on guy it’s like you aren’t even trying anymore.
Still no immigrants, not even an LGBT ? Really?
lacklustre 2/10 shitpost, must try harder.

in fairness that last one did use the phrase “vast majority” to describe the number of counties that shifted to red, not the actual number of votes
I know i highlighted the difference between the two statements but i’m not expecting you to understand how statistics works or acknowledge the difference so don’t strain yourself.
Moving goalpoats, unrelated, more goalpost moving, claiming victory without any actual rebuttal, semi-truth, hope stated as fact, implication of stance not actually taken.
Hmm, a bit derivative but overall a solid entry, not as good as the last, still no immigrant references, i’ll give this a 7/10 shitpost.
Hey, if you want to reinterpret what “vast majority” in the context of a political win means, you do you.
Small bit of relative truth mixed with hypocrisy, dog-whistle, complaint, misunderstanding of word, misunderstanding of concept of voting population.
You hit all the highlights, personally i’d have gone with more dogwhistles, maybe something to do with immigrants ?
A solid 8/10 shitpost.
Vast means large btw, as in big.
Your missing the part in the middle where you spend 6 months telling them in no uncertain terms that the thing they are asking is stupid and will not work properly/safely.
Various back and forth emails, a completely “justified” performance review program because of your “falling standards” and several meetings with various managers at different levels of “importance”.
Also the “You’re absolutely correct, ENJOY” is written at the bottom of your resignation letter or told to them directly in your “redundancy” exit interview.

Are you genuinely struggling to understand why people who think he’s actively saying hateful shit about trans people wouldn’t necessarily want to increase his presence in the general Zeitgeist?
Or did you just want to slip in the “stereotypical white guy” dog whistle?
If you are actually struggling, i can probably help.
imagine a person saying horrible shit about you, specifically.
Now imagine they have a platform where they say this hateful shit to lots of people, enough that you sometimes run across these people and they also say hateful shit to you, perhaps worse.
Now imagine an unrelated meme is made with this persons face on it and you see it 5,10,15 times a week.
Now imagine that the comments on most of these memes feature a whole bunch of people defending this person and agreeing with the hateful shit they said about you.
I’d imagine that’s why some people care.
Genuine question though, what would be the right thing to give the energy/importance to in this scenario?
i’d imagine a part of the problem is that at least some of them do in fact see those things as “traditional american values” so from their perspective they are conserving their version of reality.
Genuine question as i don’t actually know the answer, is conservatism considered to be the conservation specifically of “traditional” values. Like, is there an agreed upon timeframe in which these traditional values were held or is it more of a moving target sort of thing ?



That’s just it, it’s not.
It’s a whole economy based on the threat of neverending warfare.
An actual war, where they aren’t just stomping on something from a great height, that is short term benefit compared to selling them the re-up every cycle, “just in case”
