A winter day in West Texas is a lot like a balmy summer day in Denmark looking out onto the North Sea.

Facebook does the opposite of Slashdot moderation. They promote the trolls ensuring that signal is lost in the noise. They aren't a passive part of the problem. They actively contribute to it.

The whole point of running monopoly ware is the idea that it supports everything. Get rid of that and you might as well buy a Mac or run Linux.

Doesn't matter what the Lemming excuses are.

The platform that is supposed to "support everything" is trying to treat you like a Linux user.

The gullibility one needs to think that anything substantial was said is almost beyond imagination.

They said a lot, all of it nothing but sound and fury and what was left was a pack of lies.

Anyone who would buy any of this would be eager to buy swamp land in Florida.

I'm guessing this makes transparent aluminum overrated.

The idea that not being able to censor my speech is compelling speech from a platform owner is Orwell on steroids.

Punishing someone for violating government approved group think is across the line even for someone that identifies as a publisher NOT protected by Section 230.

If you think we need a registry, you don't really "believe in the science".

> The job market isn't a free market, coercion is involved.

Sure. Because FB employees are such an oppressed underclass that they can be bullied by an employer.

> Thus, if you are a diamond hard US constitutional literalist

That means that your freedom of speech is limited to technologies available in 1783.

There are guys like Mandela in the Knesset.

Genocide liquidates entire families wholesale. What's going on in Judea, Samaria and Gaza don't even come close.

FB is ideologically aligned with the pro-palestinian crowd. The idea that they would be censoring those people is typical unhinged conspiracy nonsense.

Your "source" is utter garbage.

An R107 - 1985 380SL. I specifically wanted an '84 or '85 because I planned on driving it enough I wanted the smaller engine, but wanted one of the years after they fixed the timing chain issues.

Well, that's one issue. But as for Mercedes, I've had three. My antique '85 is easy to keep in good condition. The others were always in and out of the shop. At one point we had 2 that were under 10 years old. (I don't "shuffle" cars - I like to hang on to them and treat them well.) One went into the stealership's shop in November. They called and said it was done, so I swapped and took that home and left the other for some repairs. Both cars had continual issues and at least one of them was in the shop every day from early November until late February when I finally went in, talked to the salesperson and said, "My wife is now telling everyone she knows the Jag joke* about Mercedes. Why are these cars breaking down so much? Are you unable to fix them properly or are your parts so insubstantial they can't last?"

Tesla can keep their cars running without having to have them dragged into the shop every few months. When Mercedes can do that, they might be worth considering.

* The Jag joke: The British say a Jaguar looks great in your driveway - and if it's actually running that day, hey, so much the better!

Why trust any of them?
Why trust some rando from the ether that you don't know?

Any of them could be equally bogus.

This goes for people on either side of the narrative.
