Race is one of those meaningless divisions that the globalist elites want people to think about at all times. As much as the "progressives" claim to be "anti-racist", it's they who turn every single interaction into a lecture about race.

It's obvious why they want to suppress the idea that disregarding race is a positive thing. How else would they be able to continue their race grifting?

I will make it a point to use all of the "harmful language" in that article as much as possible from now on.

I will not blindly follow these nonsensical rules. They're so lame. I may start a fatwa against them. I will only bury the hatchet if they agree to scrap these rules and never speak of them again.

Also, I'd like to visit the Philippine Islands someday soon.

Too many parents have basically abdicated their responsibility towards their children these days. I don't know when it started, but it has really made out society so much worse.

They are afraid to exercise actual control over their children. They are afraid to pass on their values for fear of 'suppressing' their child's individuality. They turn their children over to government schools without even a moment's concern to see what is being taught (more like indoctrinated) to their children. And then, even when they recognize that something is wrong, so many of them are more concerned with how they will look to the outside world if they react the way any rational person would react.

They're doing so much harm to their children by shirking their duty to protect and guide their children.

I'm not really sure what the issue is. Advertising of any kind is notorious for having to suspend disbelief.

Also, I don't know if he thinks that people will see the ad and then go buy a kayak and jump in the water without having done any research or gotten any guidance about kayaking. I'm pretty sure the first brochure or article you read about 'kayaking for beginners' is going to include the safety information that he thinks is lacking in the ad.

In short, it's an advertisement. It's not a how-to.

I've read all of the Frank Herbert Dune books. I've been meaning to start on the remaining Dune books.

I think the thinking machines will find a way to send a machine back through time to stop the uprising. An Eliminator, so to speak...

Yes, but when I tried, it was kind buggy. May have improved since then.

I've been using FreeTube for quite a while now. It's great for subscribing to channels that you don't necessarily want to infect your regular YouTube feed and recommendations.

> "In fact, in terms of avoiding misinformation, Pool is as inadequate for the task as citing Ben Shapiro or Alex Jones."

Or any of the numerous corporate media (MSNBC, NY TIMES, CNN, FOX NEWS, etc.) that have clearly been spreading misinformation for donkey's years.

I'm not criticizing for calling 911 for help, but wouldn't have calling another local hospital been a better option? The fire chief sending over his staff potentially leaves him short staffed. I can't imagine that a local fire department has that many people to spare.

You don't have to destroy it, per se, just, in the immortal words of...somebody, make it small enough so that you can drown it in a bathtub.

There are places to go. For replacing Google products/services there is Nextcloud. For search there is Brave search, among others. For Android there is plain AOSP which many privacy ROMs use.

Ian Crossland is that you?

There is a considerable backlog of civil court cases throughout the country due to a mysterious virus of unknown origin.

I'm not "trying to discredit", I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.

A man can't own a company because he's a "sexual harasser", but I'm sure many of you did/would vote for Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, or Andrew Cuomo. All "sexual harassers". Just shows how much this is actually about Elon Musk's morals as opposed to just hating him because he said that censorship is bad.

You know how a little old grandma will have a Trump yard sign out front of her house and anyone on the left who sees it will say "she must be a transphobic bigot"?

It's that level of evidence.

> "he allies himself with other problematic people like Joe Rogan"

He what?! There should be a law against allying with problematic people (and, by problematic, I of course mean someone who does nothing more than ask questions that should never be allowed to be asked).

I think the comments here should tell you all you need to know. The reaction to Musk is your typical virtue signaling.

Mind you, 90% of the people complaining about Musk for things like "spreading conspiracy theories", "misinformation" or being a "sexual harrasser" have almost certainly voted people into political office who have all done the same thing.

Preemptive lawsuit's. To further tie up an already overburdened legal system.

I like how you think, my man.

> "Musk has a history of not complying with legal obligations unless forced to..."

In that case, Musk sounds very much like every government, business, politician, friend, family member and neighbor I've ever known.

In other words, that's how the world generally works.
