Comment A win for democracy (Score 3, Insightful) 372

Resolving ambiguities in the law is what judges are for. The existing system is all about writing vague laws and then appointing "agency experts" to fill in the blanks without having to bother with that whole annoying democracy thing to change the law. Some people like it that way though, the submitter seems pretty upset at the idea of lawmaking involving things like voting or separation of powers.

Comment Terrible analogy (Score 4, Informative) 271

If he wants to go with a car analogy, an iPhone is like a car where opening the hood requires a key that's only available to the dealership mechanics. It keeps clueless users from messing around in there, and protects the manufacturer's income stream. Android, on the other hand, is like a car that lets end users and third party mechanics open the hood and install potentially non-OEM parts in there.

Comment Online hate speech like... (Score 2, Insightful) 236

...Hunter Biden is a crackhead in the pay of foreign interests?

That was a story American media companies suppressed because it was true and hurt the candidate they wanted to win.

We all know that the only "hate speech" that will be suppressed is speech that the ruling powers hate.

Comment You mean "Natural Disasters" (Score -1, Troll) 226

The belief that periodic natural disasters, which have plagued mankind from time to time throughout recorded history, is "climate change" is essentially a religious belief, though one that doesn't seem to deter the likes of Al Gore and Barack Obama from buying swanky mansions situated on beachfront property.

There is zero evidence that hurricanes today are more or less powerful than at other times in recorded history. Read up on Racer's Storm, a far more powerful and persistent storm than Ida which struck in 1837.

All this boils down to "Natural Disasters Suck." No shit. The "climate change" spin is just an attempt to shoehorn random weather events into The Narrative.
