Fellas, is it fascism if we discriminate against an oppressed minority? Asking for a friend

Don’t forget that all of Europe had a very strong antisemitism context. The Nazis didn’t start from zero on their hate of the Jews, and help from the rest of Europe (and America) was scarce because of that

Thankfully I got one of the older models with zero IoT functionality. Works very well

Sounds bad, throw the book at them

Easy thing to get wrong here, they made it extra complicated and confusing…

You are looking at this vote the wrong way around. Voting for the bill meant voting for the derogation of chat control, i.e. voting against chat control. The reason chat control passed isn’t because the majority voted “for” chat control, it’s because not enough voted “against” in a move where if less than 361 voted for the derogation it would automatically be reinstated.

Tons, I know tons. Some of them even get into the cultural zeitgeist as jokes. For example in Final Fantasy VII they translated “Your party is waiting for you on the second floor” as “Su fiesta le espera en el pisos 2” (if you don’t understand Spanish, they translated party/group as party/celebration)

So what about stingrays?

I did read your response. And if the rest of Americans think like you the situation is more dire than I thought.

Believing the word of a clearly demented fascist that will be in charge of the world’s biggest military, the joke writes itself. And that’s after you already had 4 years of trump.

And you believed him? You believed Trump’s word? LOL

Why would you believe voting for Trump was voting against wars? It makes no sense

Yes, especially right now. Reddit is revoking API keys that made third party reddit apps work. And the reddit app sucks, switching to that is a lot of friction so the friction of switching to Lemmy will be smaller

Fuck that. Name and shame. They can’t get away with this

True, but at the same time, especially with Japanese restaurants, there’s usually a correlation

Those are very different things, yes. You can vote for them to take your rights. But once you have voted them away guess what, you don’t have them anymore. The Germans were also not able to vote the dictatorship away, it took a lot of a very different kind of effort to end that one

Yes, just like Germany

There’s nothing wrong with being gay or trans. Absolutely nothing. Christians are bad people if they believe that, you should stop identifying with that.

Don’t worry, I don’t hate you, I just hate your christianity. Love the person, hate the religion.

“I don’t hate you, I just hate what you are”

Christians truly don’t hear themselves when they talk

In Japan, the conviction rate when something goes to trial is 99%. The main reason for this is that prosecutors will never bring a case to trial if they are not 100% sure they can win it. This of course has a lot of problems, from difficult to prove crimes like rape never going to trial, to the presumption of innocence when you sit in front of the judge being practically nil, to prosecutors doing everything in their power to convict after a trial starts even if it turns out they were wrong (even by withholding evidence).

Those are the reasons “innocent until proven guilty” is such an important concept to have, and it’s completely incompatible with assuming “the accused is more often than not guilty”

Like the time Indiana legislatively redefined pi to be exactly 3.2?
