My point was more that more oppression is not the answer to oppression.

Sure and everyone in all the social circles I grew up in have shunned me for giving up my faith. The government banning me from choosing to wear a cross necklace wouldn’t change that or give me any more freedom of choice.

They’re equating a piece of clothing with its use by autocratic regimes to oppress women, while conveniently ignoring the fact that outside of those autocratic regimes, in the most progressive countries in the world women choose to wear burqas and other similar articles of clothing of their own free will every day.

And I’m saying this as an atheist American. I see absolutely no difference between a woman choosing to wear a burqa or to wear the attire of a catholic nun or to wear a potato sack. What she chooses to wear is her own damn business.

I’m not positive but it might be due to the steps the Lemm.ee admin is taking to combat the CSAM uploads that have been happening and prevent the server’s administration team from being liable for potentially harmful and illegal images being hosted on their server.

And the bullets shoot recursion!

Nah I want an American flag that shoots bullets, man!

Yeah I couldn’t find any information about it online so I’m not sure if it’s a new cross of something else or what. But it’s got a gassy and citrusy scent and taste.

Yes! I was so happy with the budtender’s recommendations and both of these strains are very tasty and pleasant. And thank you, may your buds always be the dankest!

I roll entirely by hand because I could never get enough of a success rate with those things so I definitely agree it takes skill to do. Just a slightly different set of skills that I don’t take to as well as freehand rolling.

I certainly haven’t seen any drop in the quality of content or discussion after I blocked that whole instance with Memmy, that’s for sure!

I never said that Google is on the verge of collapse, nor did I defend them. I merely stated that Google is a corporation, driven by profit, and expecting Google to act in the interest of anything but their own profits is a fool’s fantasy. Quit putting words in people’s mouths. It’s unbecoming of anyone that wants to have a legitimate discussion and it’s just toxic.

You know they wouldn’t get paid if nobody watched the ads. And if they didn’t get paid they wouldn’t have any reason to pay to run the site. Explaining that a corporation will not run a site like YouTube for free (which it wouldn’t even be, it costs a lot of money to run) if they weren’t getting paid. Quit attacking other users simply for pointing out facts. It’s beneath you (I think)
