Does that imply there will soon be Tesla steaks?

The fact that most people don’t agree is why tax is taken by force.
What it can’t do is punish people for what they say.
Twitter as you point out, is a business that is free to do whatever it likes, and publish whatever it likes on its website.
At no point did Twitter enter into an agreement with people posting tweets about who they will be shown to. That’s not part of its business.
Elon doesn’t seem to be doing anything differently. He’s using Twitter to advocate for his political views, and ban people he doesn’t like.
Associating Elon with freedom of speech is a red herring. There is no connection.
That said, everything that people keep claiming to be ‘censored’ is somehow public knowledge, and nobody is afraid the government is going to punish them for talking about it.
The idea that freedom of speech is under threat because of anything to do with Twitter just isn’t in contact with reality.
Do you honestly believe that we can’t speak freely in the US?
If Musk really believes this, then it’s safe to call him a pathetic businessman, since he doesn’t understand the concept of repeat customers.
This is the kind of minimalist state that libertarians would agree to. People talk about robbery when the state is spending money on arbitrary things.
Why not? He has stated that he intends to earn the money again to pay back the creditors.
It does show Apple removing products that are banned by the respective governments from their stores.
We might dislike Apple’s behavior or think it morally just for them to break the law in China, but then we should say that.
It’s tiring that activism these days just means lying to make things sound more shocking than they otherwise would.
That’s not what the article says. It says he will enter a plea later.
To enter a plea means to plead guilty or not guilty. All they are saying is that he hasn’t said either way yet.
Google seems to be advertising some editing features that have been available in third party iOS apps for some time.
That’s about it.
Right, and this is why they are trying to underpay teaching staff.
There is no problem with “whiny” PhDs. The problem is with overpaid self-dealing administrators betraying the purpose of the institution.
Also, Apple adopted these practices long before they had significant market share in any market. Nobody has been “forced” to adopt them in order to compete.
In addition to extra waste with every battery, and smaller batteries that have a shorter usefully life, replaceable batteries mean a weaker phone that is more prone to breakage.
Maybe this is what he means by a “total rewrite”.
Phones with user replaceable batteries have shorter working lives and shorter battery life for the volume than those without.
Yes it is.
> at least not in the way you're claiming,
In exactly the way I’m claiming.
> which seems deny that there are men and women out there with sex genes other XY and XX and that intersex people don't exist.
You are reading something in that I didn’t write. I didn’t deny the existence of intersex people or those with chromosomes other than XX and XY.
> Because when people claim that "sex is a continuum" it's pointing out that while men and women cluster around having XY and XX chromosomes, the reality is more complicated.
It’s true that reality is more complicated than XY and XX. But then I never said it wasn’t.
It’s not true that people are “just pointing this out”. They are deploying this read herring as as the Motte part of a motte and Bailey argument.
It’s true that there are certain discrete exceptions to a rigid sex binary. This is the easily defensible ‘motte’.
It’s plainly not true that there is no such thing as biological sex. You might like to learn about the processes surrounding your conception and birth if you are unsure.
It’s also false that declaring that you identify as a different gender does anything to change your biological sex, regardless of your chromosomes.
These are the absurd ‘Bailey’ arguments that the red herring is disingenuously used to defend.
Joking aside, sorry this happened to you. These kind of inhumane policy do nothing but create stress.
