>You reference those things as if they are a "bad thing"

More accurately, as if they are not obviously noble, since you conflated everyone to have been called SJW with someone brave and insightful. But yeah I do think those things are intrinsically wrong.

Democracy requires authority.

He prefers to live where people actually are tolerant.

Which staff specifically? (the cashiers, etc) Although it's bad in all cases.

Music to my ears. HN officialy doesn't like topics derailing.

Don't confuse people "who dared ask, "why are we doing this?"" with people who want reparations, affirmative action, etc. And that's just a second definition I've thrown out there, alongside yours, when there's many more.

That definition of hate is a very recent construct, and trying to sweep the regular meaning under the rug makes you the disingenuous one.

Well, online recreation is as real as online discussion. There's people on the other end etc. On the other hand, if a kid spoils a game in a real-world playground, we don't give criminal records for that. On the other other hand, a game company is being harmed when you spoil their games.

Do we need digital signing on every image/video in the news?

Agreed that any special divergence between types of crimes is wrong.

But I can get behind the use of judge discretion.

Do you believe languages are meant to live forever?

My bad; that's social media 101.

Fair enough, although I'm entitled to interpret posts in the pure context of their parent.

>The social network had even kept a permanent record of the roughly 100 people I had deleted from my friends list over the last 14 years, including my exes.

How useful is the info one can even get from this?

I mean even if you interpret unfriending as enemying (which is a leap), possibly revealing interests you don't have, associations you don't have.... it's a lot weaker (to advertisers) than positive information.

It's all about whether you've played the game. I can watch the movie knowing/accepting what the plot is (there's a tournament, people have to fight - just sit back and watch shit go down) and the characters (there's going to be a humanoid reptile etc).
