He has personally admitted to being diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Kayne isn't being scammed by Parler. He's being scammed by Candace Owens, whose husband owns Parler.

I mean. I was definitely unfamiliar with their "Code of Ethics" [0] until I read it and I cannot say that I'm a tremendous fan. But also, it's the absolute last thing mentioned in the readme, so unless you have additional information that I don't, I don't know why you think that's the main reason they forked, especially when they tell you all the reasons they forked and that isn't really one of them.

My anecdote was only supposed to show that USB-C has not so far needed mandates for it to be adopted.

Between my wife and I, we have two cell phones, three laptops, and a pair of wireless headphones. Only one of those devices doesn't use USB-C- her iPhone. I don't believe the other five devices have USB-C because they were forced to.

Yeah, but Plato, who knew him, did

I mean this quote isn't in Plato's writings either but still

The only thing I noticed quantified in this paper was the number of students failing. Could just as easily be explained by a decline on the teacher's end.

AUTHOR: Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

QUOTATION: The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Person who has been teaching for forty years bemoans the youth these days...more at 11.

If you remember Dems claiming that the 2004 election was stolen, then you should be able to remember that the tenor, tone, and energy level was radically different than the events of 2020, and it all went away much faster. For example, I don't believe any Democrat candidates ran an '06 or '08 campaign around the idea that the '04 election was stolen, something which is happening right now in a number of states.

I am aware of that. No need for the data dump.

Unarmed rioters that were ignoring LEO instructions to stop trying to breach an area containing a number of politicians. There is every reason to believe that, had they breached, violence would have occurred. Acting as if their violent behavior was not the direct cause of their death just because they were unarmed is not reasonable, in my opinion.

I mean, what could I possibly say that would convince you that neither is the case? Probably nothing. I saw what I saw.

I think they meant the one with the unprecedented violent riots in the Capitol that resulted in some folks dying. Could be wrong.

The housing market being a core component of the US economy is a bug, not a feature.

I'm fine with everything in the first paragraph.

If the US wants "email as a utility" then they can build and fund it themselves. I wouldn't even complain about proposals for the US Government to buy Google- I am a demsoc, after all. But I do think that half-measures like forcing private organizations to operate under the same rules as private ones are a "worst of both worlds" proposition.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not sure that current SCOTUS precedent agrees with you, and that's the framework I'm working under.

I mean the simple answer is that I think AT&T should be able to restrict their network based on those criteria. If the people of the US don't like that, they should vote to either build out equal infrastructure to replicate that functionality publicly, or vote to buy out AT&T's infrastructure.

Sure, as long as you acknowledge you're not using any legal definition of the word "public". You're not really even using any dictionary definition of the word "public".

The bus is owned by a private company, but they're being contracted by the government. It's still public.

If the USG were to approve a publicly-funded centralized chat program and contracted that work out to Discord, I would support/approve subjecting them to the rules people are suggesting here. But that hasn't happened and most likely will not happen.

I am fine with Walmart issuing those bans, as is within their rights, because the correct mechanism to respond to that would be for it to be "not tolerated by society", aka, the market will respond.

When quoting from the Pruneyard Wikipedia article, I would suggest you include "In refusing to follow Pruneyard, the state supreme courts of New York and Wisconsin both attacked it as an unprincipled and whimsical decision", and not just the parts you like.

Yes, I want that future, because their right to restrict service is the same right to restrict service that I personally have, and diminishing their rights diminishes my rights.

If you want government-run services that act as public versions of these services, advocate for that. But I don't support this particular method of socializing private businesses.

That should absolutely not apply to Discord, Google Mail, or Amazon AWS, because those are all private companies restricting the use of their private property. You may call them "public spaces" or "public services" but that is an abuse of the word "public".

The article you're reading was written in 1979 by a guy who died in 1992. So "they created nothing" is wrong (as evidenced by the writings we're discussing) and "will be quickly forgotten" is wrong (we're discussing it four decades later).

In my opinion, the statement "not my fault most black ppl around my area suck" is pretty racist. Most people in my life would as well. The court's ruling, and the laws and rules and standards they used to make it, do not dictate the way me or mine form our opinions. There's a reading of this story where there could also be outrage at punishment for calling a racist a racist.

I find the other two responses to your question bizarre considering that the answer is in the paragraph directly above the line you quoted:

> A week after the incident, the school canceled all of our standing orders.

It's not a random business in town, it's a business they do business with. Seems reasonable to me that the racism of my chosen business partners would be relevant to my business.

Combo electrical engineer and embedded firmware engineer, who spent the previous ten years in production test engineering...nah, my job is pretty hands-on. I went into a pretty empty building during most of 2020 and 2021 five days a week.

I mean, I've got a few skills that might be sharp enough to get me a remote job but I really like the hardware world.

> Here's a house in Indiana for $125K

Laketon, IN, population 606, had its post office closed in 2010 and, from a quick perusal of Google Maps, probably doesn't have a single traffic light. Doubt there's much public transit out that way. Only 30 miles to a town I might be able to get a job in, though...

Oh? Why is that?

I think we should be able to discriminate based on religion. I personally don't see why this one opinion- and that's all religion is, an opinion- should be handled differently than any other opinion.

If someone thinks black people are innately inferior to other races, it's culturally acceptable for me to discriminate against them, but if their god tells them that black people are innately inferior to other races, I'm not? Heavily suspect in my opinion.
