I will gladly update my W-4 to stop withholding federal taxes as soon as you manage to convince everyone else in Kansas to do the same

The Interior Department hailed the “innovative agreement” with the French energy giant and said, “the American people will no longer pay for ideological subsidies that benefited only the unreliable and costly offshore wind industry.″

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
*Unless Facebook is the one doing the unreasonable search, and we simply buy their data
most likely they weren’t even recording.

- Comment on What is your take on organ donation? 2 weeks ago:
For the most part, I’m unconcerned. Especially in a country where organ donation is opt-out, there are plenty enough people dying already; the rich don’t need to kill me specifically for my liver. There’s another one floating around somewhere out there. Any potential corruption would take the form of the rich and powerful placing themselves at the top of the recipient list, which is also reduced if organ donation is opt-out— more organs floating around means that even if the rich and Powerful put themselves at the top of the list, more people will still get the organs they need.
Re: China, that’s a different situation entirely. I don’t think those forced abortions were opt-in or opt-out. The Chinese government doesn’t seem to give its subjects many opts at all

I protest against this for the same reason I would protest against the government flying tens of thousands of drones around the city to track every person’s whereabouts and location history. Facebook gives the police unfettered access to their information. It’s like a Ring doorbell, but dumber looking and it moves around.
If you’re sitting next to me with these fuckass glasses on, then you are giving the government live video feed of me. The only difference between this and a drone that’s personally following me is that technically, this doesn’t violate the Fourth Amendment because the government isn’t the one sending a mindless drone after me with a camera, Facebook is.

- Comment on An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." 2 weeks ago:
I guess I ought to clarify my position. The line should be drawn well on the side of freedom of expression. Emotive expressions should virtually always be legal. As long as there isn’t reason to believe that a thing that someone says is going to lead to a crime being committed, any punishment for that speech is unwarranted. That includes things like “I demand the death of (insert minority here).”
Unless you can convince a jury of that person’s peers that that particular expression was going to lead to a particular crime being committed against a particular person (like, if I said “here’s a gun, go kill that guy”), that speech should be legally protected.

They didn’t say the US has banned books at the federal level. Book bans are book bans, and the US has book bans.

Ignoring the fact that that’s the literal opposite of what happened here… Who should decide whether that’s legal, and to what extent should they be able to decide what is and isn’t legal to say?

A second user issued the weapon restriction challenge. I don’t play HD2, but apparently they specifically chose weapons that the playerbase widely agrees are underpowered, but the devs say are fine

If they’re investigating someone who doxxed a user for saying a game that’s too hard and buggy is too hard and buggy, then maybe they should hire Boeing’s PIs

Yeah I don’t remember the last time Steam users bullied someone into suicide. I can think of at least three people who’ve been killed by Reddit.
