I like this idea.

Twitter was supposed to be the “online town hall”. And online public spaces are not publicly owned, they’re run by private companies that can ban you at their own whims.

With each country having their own federated platforms, they can truly act as online public spaces where the usual laws apply as they would do offline.

You’d need to employ thousands of moderators though if everyone was online but honestly I think it’s worth it.

But don’t be handing out prison sentences for posting stupid shit. Online harassment and calls for violence can still be legally handled the same way they are offline, but jailing people for offensive jokes and stupid hot takes is just idiotic.

Best way is temporary bans increasing exponentially in length, then small percentage of income fines again increasing exponentially.

Also, and I’d argue we already need this, a court system for online crimes. This means the regular court system doesn’t get more workload added on to it and specialist judges and lawyers can be appointed.

May he smile upon you.

Jesus Christ, first the Draigs (Dragon Drones) and now the Ironsides, why must the UK MoD leak like a sieve?!

At least they won’t get their hands on these classified documents, I’ll just leave them here whilst I pop to the toilet.

Agreed, but I am glad there are those who are willing to step up to the plate anyway.

Elon Musk: now singlehandedly responsible for the US falling further behind China in innovation and research (for the record, fuck the CCP).

I seriously hope the UK takes advantage and offers visas and funding for the research. We’ve already got a good research sector though it took a hit from Brexit. Taking in these US scientists, even if it’s only for four years, would accelerate the UK’s growth, suck it Yanks!

p.s. also the EU would love to have them as well.

The freedom to eat, the freedom to earn a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s honest work, the freedom to afford a house, the freedom from wall street usury, the freedom patriotically build secure and supportive communities, freedom healthcare, protecting the landscape of the greatest country on earth for all of America’s generations to come, etc.

Loads of ways to spin free market socialism, take your pick.

You know the answer already, but I reckon you’ll be too much of a coward to do it.

Prove me wrong.

This here ^ is the full context.

Before doing bar-back work getting a hit on by a woman who I didn’t find attractive was still a nice confidence boost because it only happened rarely.

But doing bar-back work clearing away glasses from tables and wiping them down I got hit on so much by drunken women in bachelorette party after bachelorette party that it became really uncomfortable. Then came the inappropriate touching. That was not fun.

Before that job I had heard what women experience on a night out and had only seen it from a 3rd person perspective. But after that job I understand better what women are having to put up with regularly.

Please tell me how one would stay safe, sane, and sober without a roof over one’s head, a door one can lock, and food in one’s stomach?

Shelter is the next need up from food in the pyramid of needs. Solve that first for a strong foundation for a life.

Careful, you see which instance you’re on.

War games are good from a tactical perspective but that’s only 10% to 20% of winning a large conflict: infrastructure, intelligence, coordination, communication, and logistics are the “boring” parts that make up the other 90% to 80%.

The result I’m hoping for is that the rapist and the streaming pied piper both kill eachother with an accidental punch to the temples.

Enjoy watching the genocide of your people, you’ll be next, so instead of crying crocodile tears why don’t you do something PROACTIVE about it.

All the information is on the task card, you have two months, your time starts now.

But what I’d give to see a Doctor with the fucking stones to risk their career and prison to prostrate these shitheel lawmakers by telling them that their idiotic laws would have caused said doctor to break their Hippocratic Oath and ask them what is stronger: an Oath they made before their fellow man and witnessed by God, or the poorly written letter of the law.

I’d bet the fucking house that with that argument a jury wouldn’t convict and, whilst it wouldn’t undo the harm caused by the law, it would be the first precedent set in a common law system that would make state prosecutors more wary of enforcing said law. And a law that isn’t enforced is functionally dead.

America: where young people are coddled until they’re 18 then it’s either sell your body, sell your soul, or both multiple times over just to survive.

That moment when you take a drag of your Blue Raspberry vape and the dosimeter next to you maxes out.

Taste: slightly metallic, not great, not terrible.

So a nucler reactor is just a kettle with an extra spicy heating element?

The number of soldiers isn’t the issue. The two issues are the civilian casualties would be unacceptable for SK and the NK civilians would halt progress as they’d need support from the SK army.

The other one is that China would almost certainly invade from the north because NK is a buffer state between it and SK, a US ally.
