Just extrapolating from personal experience

I generally agree it’s fine where there’s an “equality of arms”.

A freedom for everyone means a freedom for the capitalists, and the communists too.

By capitalists I mean business owners and/or bosses. Your boss shouldn’t be able to dictate what you can say outside your job. That just lets the owners of corporations control speech.

Or choose not to hire them

This just allows capitalists to decide what is acceptable speech.

So instead of tackling the causes of suicide, they tackle the results.

In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies

The problem is you hand government and courts the right to decide what is hate speech.

In the UK the government is already trying to classify anti-zionist speech as banned hate speech.

Laws are weapons, your enemies can use them against you.

Tony Stark is also a barely functioning alcoholic, and a lot of people complained that the MCU skipped over that.

On the one hand urology and ED are important specialisms, and it’s annoying seeing them mocked. He also actually has experience in public health which makes him more qualified than most trump appointees.

On the other hand, outside of that his record is, for want of a better term, “yikes”.

Sounds like a sound investment

They also lost most of their sovereign wealth fund investing in Leonardo the Musical.

Rhymes with fiche, quiche and capisce.

God forbid men have hobbies

Why?

Nobody wants that high a resolution photo of themselves. It’s doubtful the lens will even resolve that kind of detail on the tiny sensor.

I’m not entirely sure what this does? It automatically creates a copy of a post to lemmy when you post on reddit?

I wonder if a plugin that does the opposite would be helpful? Something that automatically creates a link post on the relevant reddit community when you post on lemmy.

It’s 5ozt of pure silver, so I wouldn’t say no…

I collect coins, and there’s always debates about what a coin is.

For those who don’t know, a coin is usually defined as an object with legal tender status somewhere; as opposed to a token that has a face value but is issued by a non-state actor; and a medal, which is anything that looks like a coin but doesn’t have any face value.

Now, aside from the expected debate over what is and isn’t a state, there’s also the issue of NIFC (not intended for circulation) coins. Many mints sell coins that are legal tender, but are never put into circulation, some people (often those that could be characterised as “old school”) take the position that as these aren’t intended to be used as legal tender, they aren’t really coins.

It doesn’t help that there are tiny island nations like Niue and Samoa that will basically let companies make anything legal tender if they pay them. This leads to the rather silly situation where a batarang, and a literal statue of hogwarts, are technically “coins”. (I’ve been told this is done as a import tariff dodge as the USA doesn’t charge import taxes on coins)

The fact that it includes wikileaks tells me everything I need to know.

People were mad at Lemmy having a hard coded blocklist before, fortunately the dev sensibly removed it. This is worse than the one Lemmy had.

Aren’t “main roads” mostly A roads and motorways? Roads that aren’t famous for attracting a lot of foot traffic?

That seems like something that is really obvious, the A1 isn’t exactly a great picnic spot.

How little? Doesn’t the human body make small quantities itself?
