What? The green revolution doesn’t deserve anti-aircraft capabily?

Ho, ho, ho. Ho.

This Santa has one extra.

I’ve basically only been seeing the “blowing bubba” meme stuff, but I expect that we will at least get more evidence that Trump got handjobs from women that could not legally consent and were coerced into those acts. There’s long been testimony to that effect.

I hope it torPEDOes this whole Presidency, but I’m a bit tipsy just now.

Aw. Quesaritos are my favorite thing. I might never eat at a Taco Bell again.

Not usually an issue for me. My heartburn trigger used to be acids (e.g. pizza sauce) too close to bed, but after I lost some weight, I basically don’t get heartburn anymore.

That said, I very much avoid anything with much hot spice. Anything that I think might burn on the way out doesn’t make it in.

I think you are supposed to have a couple of vegetable sides to go with a meat+cheese+pasta lasagna.

(But, sure, lasagna is a pretty flexible term, you could make one where an appropriately sized portion is a complete, balanced meal.)

There’s a party in my belly, and the whole bag of chips / cheeze puffs is invited!

Oversharing Booger!? /s

Don’t look at the timestamp!

No. Dehumanizing the intolerant is not acceptable. People can change and be redeemed (albeit rarely).

Yes, I was notified in the infosec.pub UI that today it was my cake day! 🎂

I’m not sold on the anarchist approach because I do believe their should be an authority that is capable of redistributing hoarded (by a minority) resources back into the commons, and said authority should be democratically controlled. In short, I think anarchy tends to devolve into warlord-ism as the selfish (non-socialist “libertarians”, e.g.) choose to use violence to amass power.

I think a lot of hateful speech should be legal, tho subject to cultural isolation. But I also believe that there should be legal restrictions on speech, inciting violence should clearly be restricted, but I also think speech can be stochastic violence and that should also be restricted. I think it should be legal to insult and belittle and offend people, but not to dehumanize them, and I think dehumanizing people should be punished through the removal of political power. I think a democratically controlled State (e.g. the FCC) is a better way to implement these restrictions than a privately-owned corporate Capitalist structure (e.g. Meta, X, Skydance, etc.).

So say we all!

I believe it was a satirical “compromise position” between the two positions in the image, yes.

once someone has decided to be intolerant, I believe it stays with them until they die

I don’t believe this is universal; we have at least one reformed neonazi that is antifa now.

So, I’m all for taking away the political power of the intolerant, but I don’t think we should kill them because they are intolerant, even proudly intolerant. Now, I do think it is much more likely that you will have to enact violence against the intolerant in defense of yourself or others, and if that happens to be fatal to the intolerant person I still find defensive violence justified.

You first! /s

Well, we’ve never had direct democracy in the U.S. The People didn’t even vote for Senators for quite a while, and we still don’t vote for President, much less all the legislation and regulation done at various levels of government.

That said, I don’t really believe in unrestricted democracy anymore. I think the best solve for the “paradox of tolerance” is for intolerant persons to be prohibited from wielding political power, including the vote. I think the anarchist solve is non-binding democracy: a democratic decision, no matter how overwhelming, can’t reduce the freedom on the minority (and even the people that voted for it aren’t bound to it either, they voluntarily comply as long [or short] as they care to).
