Comment Re:Streisand effect, of sorts (Score 1) 428

This is called moving the goal post.

A decent bipartisan bill that would actually have passed was shot down because one traitor who isn't even in office said to.
Now, the bootlickers are calling a decent bipartisan bill that would actually have passed a "crappy border bill" to validate their idiotic bootlicking of a for-sale traitor (e.g.; China paid him enough). Not because they care about the border .. they don't. But they will lie and feign outrage and stoke fear and boost a dishonest bill, that will knowingly damage the US.

The goalpost has moved from "do something about the border" to "do nothing about the border and kill a bill and complain loudly like worthless cowards". And, of course, try once again to harm the US like the traitorous scum that they are. And if tomorrow, the new marching orders for the bootlickers is "we need open borders", you and your cowardly thugs will will do as you're told. The lack of core values and hatred of the US is on full display. Go fly the flag of the loser politician your worship some place else.

Comment Re:Ah, so you chose to admit you're full of shit.. (Score 1) 103

It is simply a tool, an implement, you can be killed just as easy with a claw hammer as with a firearm.

Ah yes, as we all got that training before using a claw hammer.
1) assume your claw hammer is always loaded
2) never point a claw hammer at something unless you intend to use it
3) never use a claw hammer unless you intend to destroy what you use it on
4) ensure the area behind your target is clear before utilizing the claw hammer

Pretending a firearm is simply a tool and comparable to a claw hammer is disingenuous at best and dishonest at worst.

Your assessment of ammosexuals is accurate but not all firearm advocates/defenders are ammosexuals. That was neither stated nor implied, I'm just throwing it out there.

Comment Re:Early climate refugees (Score 1, Informative) 55

Despite efforts by the extremist far right to ban dealing with climate change, businesses will do it anyway. Climate risk is business risk and denialist will, sooner rather than later, be too much of a risk for business.

AGW denialism has gone from "fake" to "fake but nothing we can do" to "fake but natural" real fast. Next it'll be "real but too expense to fix" then "real and we have to pay these late-coming big-oil-owned climate-fixing companies-that-we-own-lots-of-stock-in lots of money". Hopefully people are smart enough to remember who to string up.
Lol, nah. People are morons who deserve what they vote for.

Not really. The GOP exists in its current form because they have an entire media wing that has convinced gullible people to be aggressively outraged at:
A 'death' tax that they can never benefit from because the right wing media owning class will never allow it.
Be angry at and attack the very idea of getting getting their basic needs met because sOcIaLiSm.
Actively vote for a party and its policies that actively pursues destroying the one thing that can help them get better pay; unions

There are other examples but the core premise is that when a sufficient number of people actively support their own harm because engaging in crab mentality feels better, there will be no revolution. I mean hell, there was literally a poor country dumbass blaming broke welfare recipients, as opposed to those CEOs and business owners, for his low paycheck.
And people will actively support their own harm and engage in crab mentality as long as their is a sufficiently powerful right wing media to enforce that message, making their viewers feel terror for themselves or outrage at others or joy at harming others.

The US has had decades, literally freaking decades, of opportunity to put a bullet through a bunch of CEO heads (figuratively) and it never happened. Because ya gotta help and protect and give hand outs to the job-creators/business-owners/overlords. Millions of voters actively supported the idea of putting themselves after the overlords because they're too stupid or the math is too hard. Millions of people put Musk's ego before their own well-being because they have no self-worth or haven't figured out how to be more than just a stan for a emerald-spooned narcissist.

With the state of social media and the typical persons shallowness ... there will never be an "until people realize".

So don't be shocked if Trump wins this year because a bunch of young people (especially women) don't vote, then policies are enforced to make things suck (abortion bans, etc), and those same idiot anti/protest voters respond like a stupid real world surprised pikachu meme.

Comment When what now? (Score 3, Interesting) 86

"When the most important customers shift from [users]

Have the users ever been the most important customer? The users aren't even the customer, they're the product, always have been. That's the entire point of the site; focused areas for focused advertising dollars. The AI licensing is gravy but will probably be big business, too.

Comment What's not stated directly ... (Score 2, Insightful) 30

What's not stated directly is that a black girl went missing in 68/69 and no one cared. I'd be willing to bet the PPB made zero effort to connect any dots. They'll just deflect and do nothing this time too. After all, the PPB has far right sympathizers and allowed the far-right to engage in targeted political violence.

Comment On this episode ... (Score 4, Funny) 57

On this episode of Aspie Wars, autistic road nerds vs pedantic Wikipedia gatekeepers. There are no winners, only losers.

But in all seriousness, all sides are assholes because all sides are right. There probably needs to be some sort of sub-wiki (not a fork) setup that allows for 'specialized' or 'focused' communities, and their topics, to exist within the realm of Wikipedia without crossing into the realm of overall Wikipedia gatekeepers who serve a quality control purpose. Obviously controls would need to be in place to ensure right wing garbage like anti-semitism (whitewashing or promoting Nazis, etc) doesn't have a home there.
