No, that is not what they are saying. Can we stop pretending like people are saying things other than they are

From them:

"Use procedure to try and bring it up for a vote. At least try to legislate."

"Edit: love the downvotes, keep them coming. “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.” Classic Big D."

They literally are. This guys is explicitly bitching about things actively happening.

From you:

"Just make an effort and use that as an explicit position when campaigning, then follow through."

He literally called making an explicit promises "pure puffery" and they cannot follow through until they are seated so no, they are not saying that. This person isn't worth defending and is not saying any of the things you are assigning to them.

No, I am just literate enough to understand that the executive office was not solely responsible for the 'Snowden reporting' and that it is responsible for the proposal in the article above. The democrats did not create or propose a 100M domestic surveillance program but go off king

" Whenever you hear someone’s political analysis contain “The Republicans…” “The Democrats…” you can be sure they have no grasp on how DC works. "

I'm not giving political analysis, retard. But you are clearly so smart and clever. Tell us all about the 'Snowden reporting' that president Obama personally proposed and executed. Not sure why he is reporting on himself but mister user seven numbers is sure to be a source of truth

Stubbing your toe is bad. Digitally raping a woman is bad. Bringing up the former in the light of the latter makes you a jack ass. Do as you will

to sandbag and continue the narrative that 'both sides are bad' during a time in which only one side has the power. really compelling stuff

"Maybe the Republicans are worse" when the democrats have a plan to create a 100M domestic surveillance program and push it on the national stage, the word maybe becomes relevant. Until then, it is clear to everyone with a functional set of eyes what is happening; maybe schedule your check-up.

uh no, 'we' absolutely do not want our tech to work exactly like this. Why would you assume that people default to 'search my anal cavity please' and not 'no, stay the fuck away from me with that glove'

jfc, why is this website full on psychopaths

"The actual fundamental underlying problem being that not all people are equal, but we kinda have to pretend they are, because not doing so leads to fascism and other terrible stuff.

But we kinda also do not want to fully pretend that, because doing so leads to yet other terrible stuff."

other people are not pretending everyone is equal. your power levels are showing, it isn't subtle.

Isn't that a vote for 'not nefarious' as they are not deploying it widely across their user base? Unclear on the point

Really, none? Was Microsoft nefarious when they deployed Clippy? I feel like there is an incredibly obvious reason that is not nefarious at all: the average consumer likes cute things

But none of what you are saying shows a complication, is historically interesting, or a proxy for the political climate. Had Texas kept the land, they could not have enforced the ability for the white ruling class to purchase other human beings. Since they were so hell bent on the white ruling class having the right to purchase other human beings, they ceded land to a hostile nation state. The headline is the forfeiture of land to a hostile nation state, not how many farms are on said land

I have lived in Texas all my life and I am used to dealing with people like you. Enjoy November.

Thank you for your thoughts, Peter Thiel. Very even keeled

Texas ceded said land to another state, what they viewed as another nation, such that they could keep the practice of human ownership alive and well. The quality of the land is immaterial to this statement, let alone noteworthy

This is an excuse for Christians behaving like animals by racing to the bottom, you consistently overstate how evil people are for reasons beyond me.

> Take away the shame that normally keeps it in check and people's bloodlust rises to the surface

Let me guess, the anti-christ is right around the corner, Peter.

> It is a rare person who chooses to deny themselves pleasure on moral grounds

No, it isn't. This person is average among us, they are rare among the elites and politicians. You don't need to paint others poorly because of your own self-image nor is it productive to do so

What is the confusion? They directly state that you are the product if you use their discounted offering. It isn't an assumption that should lead you to this, it is Meta's very direct communication that should lead you to this
