  • You can make a line break by ending your sentence with two spaces and then a line break.Only using one space or none will instead treat the line break in your comment as just a space.Ending a line on a \ will also make a new line

    Two line breaks in a row while making your comment will make a paragraph break

  • I mean, only insofar as that's true of anything illegal?

  • When you define a word loosely enough, it can cease to be meaningful. When most people hear "opposition to censorship," they're not going to expect the reference to be advocating for the legalization of public and deliberate slander or open threats of violence and attempts to incite violence.

    Using the phrase in that way may not be technically incorrect, but it is still misleading at best and disingenuous at worst. Again, you are welcome to your view of what constitutes censorship and the belief that it is always, ipso facto, abhorrent, but I don't think that view leaves any room for meaningful discussion about this case, so I don't think I'll be engaging any further. Call it self-censorship if you like.

  • I have three identical monitors in a row. Primarily I use the center one, for productive work and gaming, but often I'll have something up on the second screen that I'm working with as well. It's more rare that I actively use the third one, but some tasks have more than two or three windows and now I can see all of them full size at once.

    I've occasionally used them as a single ultra wide screen for gaming, but since then I've gotten an hmd for VR and that is better.

  • We're also monkeys, if there is such a thing. Some monkeys are more closely related to apes (and thus to us) than they are to other monkeys, so if there's any group that can be called the "monkey clade," we are in it.

  • I guess you're welcome to that opinion. Just as one would be welcome to the opinion that literally stalking someone should be legal.

    Many kinds of speech are very broadly considered okay to restrict, even in places like the USA where "unlimited free speech" is a big motto. It's illegal to slander and libel people, for example. That it's illegal in many cases to verbally harass and abuse as well should be fairly non-contentious.

  • Yes. "Fighting words," credible threats, and other such aggressive language are generally illegal, even in the USA.

    If any language being illegal is automatically censorship, then I don't think censorship isnecessarily bad in every case.

  • New Geneva conventions list of war crimes:

    1. Wars
  • There are plenty of examples of companies challenging the legality of regulations and winning, and other cases of apparent corruption among judges.

  • Gigabit fiber is a thing, and not at all uncommon in a lot of places.

  • I mean maybe they decided it was going to be easier to buy a judge than another FCC chair?

  • It's the only way to be sure!

    Game over, man! Game over!

  • I love this game. I got it at launch and never had a problem, and I've played like two complete 100% games already before the dlc, now on my third one.

  • Biggest and just about onliest problem with nuclear fission is how expensive it is to set it up, both in terms of time and money.

    Edit: typo

  • If only there was a single chance in hell of making it happen, yeah.

  • It is, nonetheless, not without problems. First complaint I usually hear is "wait times" but, when was the last time you needed something major and didn't have to wait? Most places with socialized healthcare don't have obscene wait times, they just have regular ones.

  • Anything with just a really good purple. Deep purples and indigos and such that are so purple they're blue and so blue their purple.

  • I mean yeah, let's just do a universal healthcare, maybe. There are problems sometimes, but have you seen how it's going without it?

  • 69 inchemeters.

  • I would be interested to see data on how much capital gains tax is paid by people in whichever (income) tax bracket, or how people's proportion of income tax vs capital gains tax lines up.

    Savings interest and such is already taxed as income, no?

    Hitting retirement accounts would make investing enough to retire harder, but tax brackets could be set so as to limit this effect (which, again, wouldn't happen) while still capturing an awful lot of real estate sale income. Almost any house in my city has gone up by enough to immediately put you in upper-middle-class range for your income by itself if you bought it even just a handful of years ago, so selling/trading/working in addition to that would tax the sale significantly.

    I get that there would be a burden to "common folk" but I would really love to see how much, compared to closing the easy out for richer folk.
