A brood of Bloodletters scan the battlefield. Their Bloodmaster captain's crimson flesh crackles with new dark energy. The blood of a Primarch stains the earth, this day. But the God of War remains unsated. Khorne's blessings will not go to waste.

Blood for The Blood God.

Please don't be a butt plug.

Please don't be a butt plug.

Please don't be a butt plug.

Ok, cool.

Is that uncommon round your parts?

I feel like the ones around here are on par with cats.

You will never forget this experience.

Dang, lately I've been thinking the world might be better without the internet.

It has done amazing things, but I think it'll be our downfall. Our brains aren't designed to process this much information. And it gives tyrants everything tool the could want.

I'm optimistic, but I sometimes think it would be better if we all just focused on what's right around us and what we can actually control.

If you feel like we still need agencies such as the EPA, or the FDA, or the Department of Education, etc. then why not make them simply organizations that *recommend* things, not that have power to impose regulations and restrictions? If they come up with what they think is best, then let them use the power of persuasion, not compulsion, and let people decide what they think is best. Wouldn't that be *real* democracy?

And they wouldn't need to be funded by tax dollars, either.

I ask this all the time.

I get that controllers want to control and propaganda and force are more effective than information and persuation.

But, why don't people care they are being controlled? Why don't they reject any attempted brute force and demand the process as it should be?

We should all have a general GFY attitude towards these controllers by default. They should be called out in public at every opportunity and shamed for being the manipulative assholes they are.

For every proposal we should be saying:

1. What are the costs and benefits?

2. Where's the data?"

3. What are the metrics for success/failure?

4. What is the plan for ongoing evaluation?

5. What is the timeline to kill the project

Teach your kids.

Unless each individual did something illegal or malicious by their own action, this is ridiculous.

Am I missing something?

Is supporting someone who is doing something good the same as supporting "aggression"?

If you throw in the peaceful with the warmongers, there's no one left.

I thought the open-source community would be above this. The more I learn about Linux devs, the more I'm dissapointed. Bullshit politics, censorship, and cowardous running rampant.

But, I guess we want a worse operating system and we also want to punish innocent people.

I was checking out your services, and they are super cool. I was pretty dissapointed to see "hate speech" prohibited by your Acceptible Use Policy, though.

It is an ambiguous term used to villianize protected speech that goes against the accepted narrative, much like dissinformation.

I realize you have to cover your ass with legalese, but it's a red flag for me.

Lol. Remember when Dinesh D'Souza went to jail for contributing $10,000?

The judge said β€œDinesh D’Souza attempted to illegally contribute over $10,000 to a Senate campaign, wilfully undermining the integrity of the campaign finance process. Like many others before him, of all political stripes, he has had to answer for this crime – here with a felony conviction."
