Can we be totally honest here and just state what the fear is?

If slaves could vote they'd vote for freedom.

There's a hole the size of a railroad junction in the 13nd amendment.

It's a service.

It's a service given to you for free by a company with no apparant way of generating income.

Would you think about that, please?

My first thought when I read op was that trousers are a relative new development.

The Romans made fun of the Gauls for wearing them.

So if you decide to wear traditional Roman dress, trousers shouldn't be included.

But it's still designed for men.

I'm just guessing, but if the plane suddenly decided it's parked and shut down while it's actually in the air ...
We might want that recording.

The Romans calling the Gauls primitive is a bit like the British calling the Americans primitive.

True, but for Gods sake don't look in the mirror.

It's German, and you're about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

Oh, by the way, text-only browsers are still a thing.

You might want to look at links and/or lynx and see if they cover your usecase.

Yeah , but ...

In Paris we fought and were massacred.
In Korea/Manchuria we fought and were massacred.
In Ukraine we fought and were massacred.
And as you say in Spain we fought, but then we were massacred.

There's more of course, but you get the idea.

Something probably should be done differently in the future.

State law is one thing, but to me it seems obvous that "his or her right to be secure in their papers" has been broken.

Edit: Unfortunately the founders formulated that as a limit on government, again not actually succeding in securing any rights.

Wait, what? No!

Yeah, well, I'm sorry, but yes viewing the current Merkins as stupidly violent savages is a thing on this side of the Atlantic.

We Europeans on the other hand would never attack someone without reason.

We've always had reasons, usually some variation of wanting their possesion for ourselves.

And warning: This post contains sarcasm.

Yeah.

Forgetting while searching for a pen is also a thing. (It'll be in my bloody pocket, the one I always carry a pen in!)

So yeah.

You know, that's a good idea anyway.

I wonder though what that would mean for the copyright?

"Who goes there", John Campbell, 1938.

(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

I know this propably wont affect everyone since Youtube doesn't roll out new ideas universally, but my youtube experience this last week has been unusually bad in other ways too.

The algorithm digging far moral outrages up and the button to turn of autoplay no-where in sight.

So yeah, but I'm afraid that Youtube isn't reddit level dysfunctional, If Peertube, if we, start winning, Youtube will improve.

This is Europe of course, but I'm fairly confident that I might successfully challenge the schools right to know my childs sex.

That's none of their business.
