Our roads are designed to make us think we can go faster than we should and localities have an incentive to keep speed limits arbitrarily low to increase fines from speeders.

Are the officers not part of that culture? Do they have no discretion in what laws they enforce and when?

Do you care to back up your claim at all or are you just going to go with "these two distinct words with distinct definitions actually mean the same thing because I said so" the same way TERFs and transphobes talk about sex and gender?

Is it possible to support the black community in America without supporting black separatism?

Or you could just read a little about it.

The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

It did not start with militant anarchists and has nothing to do with whether violence can save us or not. It was, and is still, about whether or not you support ML dictators and brush away their obvious failures.

There is no McCarthy Committee today looking for Tankie supporters in the US. There are people who make excuses for the genocides and repression of dictators who wore red, and there are people who don't want a movement to free humanity tied to the shackles of its worst attempts.

I use the term because I don't want my advocacy for a system designed to improve the lives of every person on earth, granting them maximal freedom, to be defined by the failures of men in the past who thought the only way to accomplish that was to murder and silence everything in the way of their personal pursuit of power.

Oh my God, he's getting better, he finally invented a conspiracy theory that doesn't implicate the Jews! Progress!

See? He's just like Trump! And he's not doing enough! And the things he has done are only to help secure votes!

Edit to add: Also, my dude, did you forget which post this is on? He's literally protecting trans people with this move but it's still not enough. Fact is you wouldn't support him even if he led the revolution himself. He's not perfect, but he's done more to clean up Trump's mess and help marginalized people than any president in history.

Protect them from what? The president was asked in Congress specifically if there were any threats made against Jewish students or even a protest specifically against Jews or Jewish students and she said no.

No one has a right to not see things they don't like or hear things they don't like. Some students may have been uncomfortable, but that's good, that's literally the point of protesting.

What actually happened here is the president got shit from Republicans about "not supporting the Jewish students" by making the pro-palestine protests go away, was scared by the resignation of other presidents who have gotten flack from Republicans, and gave into the pressure. If there was real evidence of harm to students, and not just making them uncomfortable, she would have said it in her email or letter to the NYPD.

From what I've previously read the agency that had the frozen embryos did not let them die off, they stored them properly in an industrial freezer kept at far below 0 temps. The issue was a person who didn't work at the clinic snuck into the room with the fridge, opened it and then dropped the embryos and ran away (the article said the assumption was because the containers were so cold he got freeze-burned). There might be a case here that they didn't do enough to stop the individual, or check on them often enough, I don't know enough details to know, but it doesn't sound like they just simply didn't care or didn't store them properly.

States have long had laws against forcibly ending someone else's pregnancy and those have stood up even before Roe died. It's not usually on the level of murder/manslaughter, but at a minimum it's been treated as a destruction of property. You don't have to treat the embryo as a person to charge someone with aggravated battery or something similar.

The main issue here is the broadness of this ruling (besides the whole quoting the Bible thing) which equates embryos with full-human life. It won't change a whole lot in this case, the families could have still sued for negligence or destruction of property, or any number of other civil remedies of this was denied, but now it's laid the ground work to do much worse things in the future.

I am obligated by my work to offer this to customers when they buy an HP printer and I make it really clear that it's a bad deal for most customers. There are some edge case examples, like a lady with a small business who always prints exactly like 3 pages a day. The other customers who agree to buy it are almost always the super old people who don't want to have to come to the store to get more ink. I think it's a shit program that should be scrapped entirely, but some people really don't care if it's a bad deal as long as they get the convenience. No different than 7-11 up charging shit because it's easier to buy it at the market down the street than the Walmart a few miles down the road.

HP sucks donkey balls. Printer, computer, laptop, all-in-one, doesn't matter. Friends don't let friends by an HP.

That said, ET-2800 is an Epson brand printer, specifically the base-model "Eco-Tank" printer that uses bottles of ink instead of cartridges. HP makes a few under the "Super Tank" line. If that's the right model number, that might help explain driver issues if you have an Epson printer being controlled by HP drivers.

If you plan on keeping it, make sure to set a calendar reminder or set up a task to print at least one color page every month to keep the ink from drying out in the print head. If you decide to replace it, consider a brother laser, especially the black-and-white only models. They are tanks

Do you even know what that means? How exactly is reporting allegations made by others libel? You know you'd have to prove that the statements are untrue and (since he's a public figure) you'd have to prove that the people making the claims knew they were untrue at the time right?

Same. I was looking for alternatives to the R word and I saw lemmy and was interested, until I saw the ".ml" and immediately heard the amungus noise.

I was very happy to see this here. While I'm still working on blocking all the ml and genzdong communities I see in all, it's already a lot better than I expected going into it.
