Because the people arguing in favor of "hate speech" laws don't do that either. These professors are specifically saying offensive speech is unprotected. Which is inherently wrong and always has been. Why do you demand they address an argument that isn't even being made by most people?

Saying "offensive speech is protected" is also inherently wrong. That implies that being offensive is what gives it its protection, rather than being wholly incidental.

And I demand it because it's boring as shit to have the 900th article that can be summarized as "person says hate speech isn't protected, they're wrong". 100% of that article's "argument" (insofar as it has one at all) is conveyed in its headline + tagline.

(I also don't think they're even refuting the argument, really, unless - again - you just accept everything the government decides as correct and right. I.E. if I said "gay marriage is a right" in 2003, that doesn't mean I'm saying "the US government has declared that gay marriage is a right".)

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

why do these thinkpieces about hate speech always just cite legal precedent for their argument, as if the government/courts are always right? why do they never talk about the gray areas where hate speech overlaps with fighting words/threats/libel/etc and is thus not fully protected?

A corporation with big profits - the CEO is literally bound by his fiduciary duty to return those profits as stock dividends if he is running a publicly traded corporation.

The only way to justify raising wages and making other investments into your company is if you think it will lead to even greater profit later.

where do bonuses to the CEO come in

Ricken might actually be the most fitting, he's a green mage and can promote to Dark Knight though it isn't his default. But yeah it's not like I never expected another green cavalier, just that I didn't really expect one in 2017.

I guess that's the difference. I took a break for a couple months, so there's some PvE stuff I still haven't done. But just in general it's hard for me to care too much about the arena since, at least at tier 19 (I've never broken into 20), it's super easy and has no real depth. It seems like the meta right now is more around squeezing out extra stat points than the actual gameplay too.
---

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

Is there even any advantage to staying in tier 20 other than the extra orb/feathers? It seems like way more effort than it's worth unless it's just the fun part of the game for you.

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

So info on the upcoming legendary banner is out. The new character is a green tome cavalry that seems pretty strong so RIP my 10+ Cecilia project. I guess I should be thankful I only sank 60k feathers into her so far.

The other units are Sigurd, Brave Roy, Ryoma, Spring Lucina, Bride Charlotte, Fjorm, Spring Chrom, Amelia, Bride Lyn, Innes, and Elise. There's only like one I want from each category personally but it seems pretty good if you don't have many of them? idk

On the bright side I pulled again on the Christmas banner and got Hypothermia Tharja and Dorcas so who needs an 8% banner anyway

But something you might want to consider thinking about is that Facebook, Twitter, and all the other people screaming about the death of the "free and open internet" are the ones actively censoring stuff while Comcast, AT&T, and other ISPs have literally never done that..

is an ad for a university on the other side of the world i will never go to or have anything to do with better than an ad for barbie dolls for me? i guess, but the difference is so minuscule that it's meaningless.

I'd much rather have the ad for Barbies personally because I have nieces and I'm way more likely to buy things they like than 99% of all other non-necessities. Just goes to show one way they could presumably target me but don't.

But most of the time it's the exact opposite of this. The vast majority of targeted advertising is for products you've shopped for on websites you've actually visited.

The most common ones I get (on Facebook) are for weird clothing sites I've never heard of, shitty online colleges, rehab programs (?), and computer chip wholesalers (???). Unless that's non-targeted and those are just the ads they run but that just raises further questions.

Like yeah I'll occasionally get an ad for Amazon or Target that's just, like, the last three products I looked at and decided not to buy. That's a little better but still ultimately useless to me at least.

I wouldn't know about facebook, never use it myself. Does it not target well or do you just not want ads there?

Both. I don't want ads anywhere but I especially don't want them when they're using information about me to advertise things I'd never want from sites I've never visited.

Targeted advertising on a place like Amazon is cool because they actually know the kind of things I buy, though I don't think it's ever actually led to me purchasing something I wouldn't have otherwise.

Targeted advertising on a place like Facebook is crap 100% of the time, just like normal ads would be.

foolm0r0n posted...

How is it going in circles? Everyone (except for you) recognizes some special value to human life, and everyone has their own moral structure for deciding when it is justified to take a life. That moral structure doesn't even come into play in most abortion arguments. What else is there to be confused about?

It's going in circles because why don't moral structures come into play? You seem to keep saying "they just don't".

foolm0r0n posted...

Yes but what I'm saying is that abortion arguments never even get to that level. They almost never get passed "is this bundle of cells a human or not". The argument earlier ITT definitely didn't.

We're just going in circles now since my question was essentially "why does this happen when it seemingly doesn't actually matter to most people?"

*shrug* I dunno how to explain it better or how to better understand your replies.

Ok, sure. I'll bear with him for nine months if the alternative is to kill him.

foolm0r0n posted...

But most people definitely see human life as a special distinction with very special rights and value and all that stuff. Therefore it's naturally very important when exactly a blob of cells becomes "human".

Sure and yet those people are still fine with human death/denial of rights/etc in tons of other cases where the ambiguity of their life isn't even in question. My personal beliefs have been kind of ancillary from the beginning since I already know why I believe the things I believe.

Okay so you see nothing wrong with arguing about the morality of killing an apple?

Everything you're saying seems to be stemming form the fact that you apply the same morals to humans as you do plants for some reason

I don't see anything wrong with arguing the morality of killing an apple? I wouldn't because who cares but knock yourself out.

And yeah humans aren't special, at least insofar as "life" goes. Lots of things are life. That's why life is a shitty standard unless you just like platitudes for some reason. That doesn't mean I treat humans and apples the same in other regards (or morally or whatever).

The problem with Democrats abandoning social issues like abortion and gun control is that those issues have become the main thing the party is identified with. Without them they come off like just a less pro-business version of the GOP. Right now the Dems don't seem to have much of an overall plan for governing other than to oppose the far-right. That might be enough to win for now, but long-term they really need to come up with better ideas and/or messaging for economic issues.

This is my take as well. Hit them on economic issues if you want to win.

But that's never gonna happen because the very rich are at the head of both parties.

This no-compromise strategy is how we end up with President Trump and a Republican controlled Congress.

Are you kidding? We ran Hillary Clinton. That's as compromise-y as it gets and she was still vilified as super leftist somehow. My whole point is that we should STOP running people that are basically republicans to try to court a right-independent/conservative vote that never materializes.

Suprak the Stud posted...

I understand, but then the issue is we can sit around feeling morally superior while we get thrashed in senate elections in 10+ states because we refuse to run candidates that would win.

We arent abandoning abortion. We get pro choice candidates through blue and purple states. Nationally, more people in the US support abortion than oppose it but that is absolutely not the case across the south. We just wont win in Mississippi or Alabama with a pro choice candidate considering 50% of the voters there are evangelicals and they wont vote for a pro choice candidate. Practically, it is tantamount to conceding the race before it begins. And I think most democrats would understand from a logical perspective it is better to have someone agree with you 70% of the time instead of 0%.

I'd be ecstatic with someone who agrees with me 70% of the time but tbh democratic politicians are already way to the right of the average democratic voter and even further to the right of me. We're already doing the compromise strategy and it's not working. If you say "give up on abortion and guns" what I hear is just "let's all be republicans it's easier that way" since there's not a whole lot of difference between the parties to begin with.

Are there any abortion arguments about non-animals? I have never heard any or had anyone even go slightly in that direction, so I think it's pretty clear when we're talking about abortion that's it's about human life.

That's obscured by phrases like "life begins at conception" though because like, yeah it's alive then for sure. It was alive as sperm too. Tons of things are alive that we don't care about it. So whether we're talking "life" or "life that is quantifiably human" is important when talking about the degree to which people on the whole care about "life".

foolm0r0n posted...

Proportionality (which any libertarian with any credibility supports) requires a reasonably lethal threat to defend yourself with killing. Obviously that's subjective though and would be up to the decentralized court systems.

Do you think the physical/mental/economic burdens pregnancy inflicts on a person, if inflicted by an unrelated adult in the exact same degree and instances, would justify self-defense? How much? Up to killing, if it continues? Because there's no debate over whether life has begun or not there so we can use it as a yardstick.

foolm0r0n posted...

When you talk about all the "cases where you can morally kill people" regarding abortion, you first have to acknowledge the fetus is a person.

No, I just have to admit that some people see it as a person. My whole argument has been about how that doesn't really matter to my beliefs (and how I'm not sure why it does to e.g. libertarians either), so actually I don't have to acknowledge anything. It really doesn't matter if it's a person or not, at all.
