These are the same people that insist "assault rifles" must be banned, despite being unable to define them beyond "they're scary".
Well, er...let's see...they're black!! And uh....when you pull the trigger, they go "PEW"....and uh....well uh...
Right?
Being in the firearms business without an FFL will make you a human doing illegal things. Even if you do it with a file and hand-crank drill.
Not federally.
It has always been legal in the US to make your own firearms for PERSONAL use.
You can make all the firearms you want, but, you cannot sell them, nor give them away....no serial number required, etc.
This has been the long standing right all US citizens have enjoyed since the country began.
It's only recently where companies made this a bit easier to do that some states started freaking out.
One does not make money by kicking out paying customers.
False. Kicking out the shitty minority in order to attract more paying customers means making more money.
The "phone fuckers" (whatever that means)
You really can't figure that out?
and people who have no interest in you wanting them to shut up are their paying customers now
They are dying for lack of customers.
Let it go, watch movies at home.
I did and I do. The theaters can all die. They take up a lot of space in exchange for producing a few paltry minimum wage jobs and don't give a fuck about making the experience enjoyable for people who like to concentrate on things.
And no, "replace every single link with a POST form request" is not reasonable, starting with the issue that now you can't hit back.
Yes, you can. I regularly use a webapp where most links are driven with javascript, and the back button works fine both on links where they are and those where they aren't. This is kind of amazing given the general incompetence of the web app in question, like how actually doing that will at times lead to the creation of duplicate data because they apparently don't track whether forms have been used already. But that's not because they don't use cookies, because they do. It's just made by Accenture and they are generally fuckups.
Yes, if you encode the session ID in the URL there is a risk of leakage, but you don't have to do it that way. It's just an option, which I mentioned because it exists.
Want to tell me you can't do anything else I see working all day every work day?
I would break it down for you how and why that's an evil thing to believe, but
...it's not and you're making shit up
I'm having a hard time believing someone who would spew that even wants to be good.
Right back at you, white and fragile snowflake.
All of this to say "the evangelicals you know" might not be a good representative sample of Christians.
The evangelicals are louder and more offensive, and some Christians belong to sects which are accepting of people who are not straight laced and heteronormative, but they are not representative either as they are also in the minority. For every Unitarian there's dozens of Baptists.
lectures about how my sex and race are evil
You heard "white people did bad things" and decided they were saying you're evil because you want to do those same things.
Ask your mom if you can have a little more internet time today and I'll explain to you that the term was used for television before there were cars that reflashed themselves from a cellular connection.
I know someone who really loved Mini-Disc. He made his own TOSLINK cable from the normal jack to a mini jack because he couldn't find the cable in the store. But then MP3 came out with none of the stupid restrictions that Sony placed on it because Sony is also a big copyright asshole.
Well, that's at least better than my LG TV. Sometimes it refuses to listen to the off button on the remote. The remote is working fine and the batteries are good, it just won't turn off from that. If I turn it off from the power button - and there is only one button on this TV so that means long pressing the fucker - then I can turn it back on from the remote just fine.
TBF this unit has never been firmware updated, but it's equally fair to point out that this generation of television has received firmware updates that make it even shittier, so it never will be as long as I own it. We had a story here about how LG has leaned into covering every surface with ads.
If prices were more reasonable, then a lot more people would go and you'd make it up on volume, more importantly they would leave with a POSITIVE experience.
They'd also have to kick out phone fuckers and people who won't shut the fuck up ("why did he do that?") and also actually adjust the volume to avoid both distortion and blowing out people's eardrums. The last couple times I went to movies in normal theaters they failed at both things.
Why the fuck am I seeing huge ads on Slashdot now for "bolt.new" and other shite when I paid many years ago to "Disable Advertising"?
Crypto grifters DGAF about keeping promises or the law, and grifters gonna grift.
Yeah, it's still the DOD, but the order about this named it as the DoW so I thought I'd emphasize that. Guess I should have called it out directly.
No one can make session tracking with form variables or URL arguments as reliable as it is with cookies.
That's OK, a user might have to occasionally log in a little more. It's a small price to pay to prevent ubiquitous tracking.
did I hurt someone's feefees? someone with sockpuppets?
There are no data that cannot be plotted on a straight line if the axis are chosen correctly.
