I'm sure they do what all huge corporations do.
Make shit up and then say "oops, sorry, here's a tiny fraction of the profits we made keeping that money for so long as a fine teehee".
can we really blame folks for choosing a fast death?
Yes.
One option has opportunity, the other is... This horseshit.
Yes, I will absolutely blame any accelerationist, every time.
Edit: If you think more people getting more hurt is OK because it might result in a more left future later, just fucking block me now please. And also gfy.
Insurrectionists? Fucking definitely. Rioters? Too light, but I'll let it pass.
But protestors? Absolutely fucking not.
I dont think I'd put a man with decades of corps of engineering experience in the category of being without any knowledge or understanding. He had a pretty significant hand in the Manhattan project because of his experience (including the creation of the pentagon), and specifically contributed to the Manhattan project in terms of raw materials, site selection, even making selections on isotope separation based on his prior experience and the requirements around it.
I don't think you're giving him enough credit. He is precisely the kind of person who understood the implications of different resources being used, how different methods would impact progress, etc.
He's a great example of understanding the issues around the decisions being made, not just making a selection from a menu of options.
Thats the knowledge being discussed. Calling it "just administrative" is ignoring huge amounts of what Groves had in-depth knowledge of.
So nothing to do with the probe, the article linked, or anything to back up what you're saying. Just posting irrelevant commentary, down voting when people point that out, and responding like a pompous jackass.
Noted, thanks for the added user tag now applied to you!
I doubt its the only complaint, just the one relevant to this particular probe. Neither the probe nor the comments refer to any predatorial practices targeting children, only you are.
Do you see why someone would wonder "what predatorial practices?" when the only claim is coming from you?
I still dont see any indication of any of these major sites targeting children in any way.
What I do see is a concern of ending up with the kind of nonsense laws that some states are pushing which require a user account and sharing a substantial amount of personal information for access to adult videos, which is a privacy nightmare. Much like this probe, "for the children!" was used as an excuse to effectively ban porn access from those states.
Parenting is an effective countermeasure to the accessing and viewing of adult videos by those underage. Which is what that person was saying.
If that were what they were doing the probe for, sure!
But that's not what they are doing. You are making this claim that they have predatorial practices. The European Commission says they need to do more to comply with regulations.
These two things are not the same.
They need to understand the implications of what each expert is recommending.
They absolutely need to be capable of understanding the materials.
Edit: Missing letters, thanks android keyboard
That is depressingly accurate.
They need to understand the materials they are provided.
It is necessary. Calling the head of HHS just an administrative position is part of the problem here.
Not really, no.
Tasers can be really fucking dangerous to people. Same with rubber bullets.
Just because its publicly called "non-lethal" doesn't mean they haven't caused a lot of people to die.
Nah, I think you're missing the parts where this is how things go downhill.
For example:
ICE. Right now.
People are being rejected at the border for less (and specifically about Israel for now)
The WH pardoned insurrectionists, is considering pardoning kidnappers, and threatening prosecution whenever someone disagrees with anything they say.
.... So its not just tankies who will take issue with what you've said, but also those who think people should be treated like people, genocide is terrible, and individual rights and freedoms exist for everyone, and not just the wealthy.
