“two-way street” implies an equal exchange, not just equal opportunity to speak, and only someone who’s never been on the receiving end of one would ever make the mistake of thinking there’s anything equal about it.

in fact, the only ones I’ve ever heard make that argument are bigots themselves, trying to excuse or defend their bigotry while shifting blame to their victims for “not standing up for themselves” or some other victim-blaming bullshit.

DARVO (an acronym for “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender”) is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers, narcissists, or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.

DARVO

I’m clearly not the only one here who feels this way, and I’m sure that none of us are surprised that, right from the start, you’re deflecting any responsibility for what you’ve created.

free speech is a two way street

it really isn’t

You can debate your point with out dehumanizing others, when you can’t, you’ve already lost the argument.

No. You can’t. And giving a “open mic“ to the Nick Fuenteses and Stephen Millers, and Charlie Kirks of the world who will put on a suit and a tie and try to “debate” you while dehumanizing others with nice sounding words gives them a platform to spread their hate while framing it as a “civilized debate“ rather than the coded bigotry that it is, while you cast aside any responsibility for letting them do it, tossing your hands up and claiming “free speech”.

It’s plainly and obviously bullshit. It’s like inviting a vampire into the house and then being surprised when everyone turns up dead.

But it doesn’t appear that you’re specifically disallowing it either

You are definitely entitled to feel that way though.

My concern is that this is what you will also say to the bigots when they arrive

When you sit down at a table and nine Nazis sit down at that table with you, there are now 10 Nazis sitting at that table.

It has been my experience that “free speech” (especially online) is code for “bigotry welcome”.

I see nothing in the description here to convince me this will be any different.

Cute kid

Oh, I agree. It really would be nice if ublock origin light was installed by default.

I prefer uBlock Origin Lite on Safari. I switched a while back because adblock wasn’t catching ads in YouTube.

They have pretty good privacy and anti-fingerprinting stuff in Safari, but not ad blocking— although they do have an odd tool for “hiding distracting items“ that can work as an ad hoc ad blocker of sorts. On the other hand, ublock origin light works wonderfully for me. Both on macOS Safari and iOS Safari.

I know. It was a joke.

But, at least for now, ai doesn’t really do anything, either, at least not anything particularly meaningful. It’s a McGuffin for billionaires to slush money around and profit from others investing in bunk stock. They’re making trillions in a gigantic pump and dump scheme, and right before the bubble bursts, they’re gonna cash out and fuck off leaving everyone else to get screwed

Lol, sorry Al, I got there first!

Edit: but I love that dude so much, he can fucking have it

Yeah, I remember that too because I was a teenager when that was in the newspapers, and people were like “whatever”

So gross

I just can’t help myself from faaaaaallin’

Elon-gate recalled a meme from some forgotten box

A 1996 vintage, I believe? South African. A rosy nose, full-bodied, with a turd finish.

Hmmm… I think it needs to be something with more ‘bite’. “Musking it up” sounds like a 90s sitcom dad-move. Like something Tim Allen might have tried on Home Improvement.

“Livin’ On the Eggs!”

“Just can’t help myself from breeeeding!”

Ok, fucking yikes— no, that was somehow even more 90s, and incredibly terrifying. Apologies to anyone who gets the reference. and to literally every member of Aerosmith.

Is it… Reaganomics?

Or, more specifically, Ponzi scheme?

There’s probably a more contemporaneous name… Something involving Elon Musk I’m sure

Oh! Welcome to the 1980s

Wow, that brings back memories

Loud, screeching memories

for the times on actually using windows.

you have my deepest sympathies
