Who is this "we"?
Do you have any idea what a full stop is and why it means nothing?
And finally, there's no holding accountable those who pass stupid laws.
So... try again when you're older.
"with the absolute and unyielding certainty of God,"
Your mythical being that took 15% off to rest? Not very "absolute" nor "unyielding" nor "certainty" so no thanks.
Please stop with the “I am the Moses of bypassing censorship” schtick.
That's how it is, girl. Except I'm not Moses. He's a dead guy who parted a sea. I gparted C. My grandfather is Joshua. He broke the walls of Jericho. Learn yourself some bible before you play with adults.
“The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it” -- John Gilmour.
The MPA and the rest of their MAFIAA sororities can do whatever they like. Then we'll provide the tools to maintain the platform of speech to be free of their restrictions.
The harder they fight, the more we'll add so that they're not just underwater on free speech, but on their draconian ideas of copyright. The Internet is larger than US corporate greed, and it will outlive, outlast, and beat it.
Count on it.
I'm sorry, Timothy, but you opined:
" Israel’s heavy-handed response to the attacks it suffered from Hamas last year."
How light a hand should be used when cutthroat murderes rape, burn, murder, and decimate over a thousand civilians including babies and children, then destroy their houses, THEN PROMISE TO DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Do tell what this "heavy-handed response" would better have been. I can't wait for your all-seeing world knowledge to solutions of international politics and generations of hatred.
While you're at it, that girl next to you walked down a dark alley with a short skirt. Go blame her for being a victim.
You can’t even beat some common sense into it with a 2×4.
That kind of depends on if you're hitting it with the side grain or the end grain. After all, wood is just a bunch of straws all lined up waiting for the inevitable youtube video saying so.
Sure, I fly helicopters.
I also do woodworking.
But ask me to do 3D modeling in CAD software and you'll get fridge macaroni art.
Fortunately I can still go to the Amazon.COM and order whatever book the lib-airy has without worry that some "servitive" will cen-sore. Man, this thread brought out the crazies. Sorry, I mean dementors.
you copying me not nunjabu at all as we are one with the lisan al gaib the power of the desert will not desert us inshalla right??? don't let us be worne down by them who dont believe what we know is truth amen
There’s no need for the taxpayer to be subsidizing the placement of offensive materials in libraries.
The only offensive materials in libraries is the mouth-breathing dimwitted idiots like you polluting the clean air with your exhalations and attempts to somehow bring taxes into this.
Libraries are funded however they are for the good of everyone. The only thing offensive there is the closed-minded whiskey-tango such as yourself. Kindly don't enter any library and if you ever pay taxes, thanks so much for your contribution.
I read half a story here. The other half would be "what happened after the mutilated books were repatriated to the library."
Did the library contest the seizure of the books, and warrants (if any) allowing such seizure?
Did the library sue the Sheriff, county/parish/local-government for countenancing this unlawful "raid"?
Did the library sue same for having purposely mutilated said material, thereby rendering it of no value (not being able to lend it out) and seeking just compensation?
Did the sheriff admit that any wrongdoing occurred on the SD's part?
What --if any-- ongoing legal issues remain? Surely this hasn't been "put to rest" and all we can do is kvetch on TD about Republicans.
They don't want you to READ the book, SUMMARIZE the book, or DISCUSS the book.
Just buy it already. Oh, and also give it a good review.
If LLMs did only those last two there would be no suit.
Have you considered doing less methamphetamine when you post?
Is this to me? Brother, I don't use uppers or downers. I even gave up caffeine before you were twelve. Thank you for the question though, and this gem:
You might be seen as a bit more rational and coherent.
Assuming yet again you're referring to me, are you suggesting that you might see me as a bit more rational and coherent if I stopped using the drugs I don't use? Do, please, elucidate.
If it wasn't about me or if it was, it's going to be one hell of a 13G superbowl event (that's three Gs after 10G). ISPs and Telcos are different words. Have a great weekend.

If you read TD you know how trademarks work.
Comcast registered the trademark "XFINITY" on September 21, 2010. The trademark covers the provision of non-downloadable films, movies, and television.
Feel free to use "XFINITY" as you like outside of the above limitations. I have an XFINITY of uses for limp-dick-lawyers and I can't wait for one of them to send me an XFINITY of letters threatening to sue me for saying so.

Sure, I'll take on this huckleberry. Wireless communication has been around for a Loooooooooooooong Looooooooong time. It has nothing to do with CB (but thanks for the old timey reference) and has no generational gain. So 1G -- when was that?
Oh, you don't know. Sure... How about 2G? When was that?
Oh, GSM, not popular in the US, but early 1990s or 30 years ago? Sure.
3G?
But hey, since CB seems important to you...
11 meter AM 40-channelized frequencies. That's US citizens' band radio. (CB Radio)... it predates FRS, GMRS, and many other service allowing audio-only communication using mostly unlicensed radio gear on 2M and 70cm bands.
I say "mostly" because if you go into Mexico or Canada, the frequencies withour licenses are not the same.
But hey, move your mouth some more. Perhaps something will come out of it that has a factual component.
None of that has to do with bullshit 5G or other claims.
"Back in 2019, when fifth generation (5G) wireless ..."
Oh please stop this lazy crap.
Wireless networking has been around for over 30 years, and standardized by international bodies for at least 27 years. There are more than five generations, and nobody but salespeople (and you) call anything 5G.
https://www.commscope.com/blog/2016/the-theory-of-wi-fi-evolution-and-ieee-802.11-selection/
If you want to pretend that the death of GSM and the rise of something else (LTE? lol) is 3G or 4G or 5G then no.
LET - Long Term Evolution. Stupidest title ever next to "NextGen" anything. Those who don't learn to numerate revisions will always lose. "NextGen" and "Long Term Evolution" and "NextStep" and whatever just means "status quo back when we designed it years ago."
There's no 5G. Never was. There's no 10G. Never was. Pretending that the former means the latter is invalid is bending the knee to the standard that was never there.

I've been reading TD for #include
This is the first thread in over half a decade that has so many people riled up. Ignoring ACs (who have a TD-granted right to post) and focusing on facts we get essentially three.
Here's where I could number them, but it's like arguinw with magas as to which color red is the best color for a cap that says "I'm an inbred a-hole" Choose your color of red. You're still that same guy. Different color cap.
If you don't like the US legal system (aka "justice" system, regardless of how that has never worked out) that's your right. Don't assume everyone opining is of the same bent.
As for LGBTQ+ people... (sorry, Texans) the second word is "people" so they have rights, inalianble rights, and those can not must not will not shall not be taken from the absent due process. So if you think they don't have rights or if you think they should be stripped then GOOD JOB FOR THINKING without understanding. If you ACT to strip them of those rights or support that, then step off.
We live in one of the top ten countries in which people can express themselves. What a waste it is when STUPID IDIOTS want to CENSURE, CENSOR, STOP, or KILL those they disagree with.
The 1am covers everyone. Even stupid piece of maga shit.
STS:
That is the most cogent comment I've read on this topic in a while. If it's okay to quote you I'll do so repeatedly. Well said.
As for AC. Sure, you're able to post anonymously. It's hard to separate one AC from all the other dumbshit ACs. I mean, seriously, can't you at least go by AC8675309 or "Jenny"?
With respect to the article, Mike, and Thad and HighGuard's comments...
Nobody is being asked to or forced to sell, just as nobody was solicited to purchase or to hold long any shares in the company. All investments are supposed to be done by knowledgeable investors who make smart decisions. Of course Alan Abelson is famous for his 1980s TV commercial that says "When you buy stock, you're buying it with the expectation that it will go up. You're buying it from someone who's equally convinced it's going to go down." That is true here.
All companies have some form of gain (be it revenue, asset value, research product, or even blue sky). All companies have some form of loss (be it salaries, rent, governmental fees, or even brown dirt.)
When a decision is made to invest in a company it can be for any number of reasons. Traditionally non-institutional investors want to hold long for a relatively short period of time and then sell high, having bought low. This speculative gamble has not much to do with the profitability of the company (see e.g. Amazon, etc.) and more to do with the Ponzi character of the gamble.
So Mr. Musk (fyi I don't like him but that's because he's an antisemite neonazi drug-taking narcissistic asshole in public, and a shit to his exes in court docs) has his friends on the board of directors. This is not unusual and is disclosed. They voted to give him more money than I'll see in my lifetime. That they did so in a fait accompli is how they do business. That too was disclosed, and disclosing it earlier wouldn't have changed a thing.
Can he "legally" collect this amount? Yes, he can. So this isn't about the amount, nor that THIS board approved it, just HOW it was approved. For regular people like us that is something you get charged with and have to pay a lawyer. For the well-connected people it's just a rule they say "Oh Pshaw" about.
Not a bad gig if you can get it. He has it. He's going to get the money. If you don't like it you can sell your shares. You're not required to. They are as worth[less] now as they were yesterday or will be the day before. You just have to gamble that some stupid[er] sucker will come along later and buy them for more.
Feel free to substitute "bitcoin" for TSLA above if it helps explain the situation.
"Full stop"
