I think it's more a joke about how the FLOTUS is from Slovenia.

Let's assume that Flock wants to take the website down. How do you think they should go about doing it?

If the site does get taken down due to this trademark dispute and Flock has the deniability of "well it was just the company we hire to do trademark protection, it's not our fault, we didn't do this intentionally" didn't they achieve their aims with plausible deniability that you are affording them here?

Is it your opinion that the letter was likely not sent on behalf of Flock, and this Doppel company is lying about being affiliated with Flock?

If so, what do they stand to gain by doing this? Is it even possible for a company to file a trademark letter on behalf of trademark owner without being affiliated?

> How come you couldn't understand that point?

Because you're vague-posting continually.

> The absence of outrage on one issue concerning the Postal Service, and the presence of it for another.

I don't see how the "absence of outrage" over a completely separate issue in any way proves your point about mail-in voting being abused.

How does the article you linked support your point that mail-in voting is abused or rife with fraud?

Because communities can end up selecting for political party, so any given community doesn't need to reflect national demographics.

That said, there are definitely Republicans here. They come out of the woodwork when the topic of government waste is brought up.

> Climate change is inevitable, whether we exist or not. The sun will continue to get hotter over the next few billion years.

The thing people are thinking about when deciding not to have children for climate reasons is climate change on a human timescale, not a geological/astronomical one. There is a very real chance that children born today will live through a wildly different climate than their parents did.

As far as evolution goes, there are plenty of species that will not breed or even eat their young when circumstances are not good enough to raise them. It's not that out-there for people to put off or avoid having children due to environmental stressors like climate change. We, as humans, can just rationalize and understand it over a longer time period than, say, a Spotted Hyena.

The point is the current (Republican) DOT is actively fighting against existing bike lanes.

Why do companies like this continue to promise "No Ads Ever"? How do they plan enough money to support their service? Video sharing is incredibly expensive, even Discord is unlikely profitable between their advertising campaigns and server boosting revenue.

It's not self-hosted, they are going to have to make money at some point to support the effort.

What does it add to both-sides this issue? It's not even addressing the post, it's just redirecting some of the blame to a group who have nothing to do with what the article addresses.

And responding to the backlash by posting Nazi-related puns seems like a bad way of clearing your name or trying to distance yourself from the accusation.

Where it goes after it's used is the problem.

Oil is mainly carbon, the carbon isn't destroyed by burning it. It just changes form. But now it's in the atmosphere instead of inside the earth. That's still a problem.
