  • Wearing socks is a social construct

  • Only if you don't wash them and don't clip your nails, or if you paint your nails that's also nasty

  • You lost. That flag don't fly.

    This is a really bad argument that people use. Plenty good causes have lost.

    The issue with the Confederacy is that it was a really bad cause, fighting for the enslavement of millions for generations.

  • Have you been to America? Plenty of leftists around the country fly American flags.

  • Usually when people have flags it's for fairly innocuous stuff. Poland has a kind of ridiculous law criminalizing the desecration of a flag of any country.

  • You can use Signal with a different client. Signal being operated within the US has no effect. As of now the jurisdictions that I know of to be worried about are:

    The UK, where Apple was recently ordered to remove end-to-end encryption features, and have been gagged from talking about it

    Sweden, where a law is proposed to add an encryption backdoor

    The EU, where leadership is pushing for an encryption backdoor

    My understanding is that the Indian government under the BJP and Congress has been pretty consistently anti-encryption, and violated privacy rights

    France arrested the founder of Telegram for using end to end encryption in Telegram

    Australia in 2018 passed a law that enabled the government to require communications platforms add a backdoor for government decryption. The Director of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) said that “privacy is important but not absolute”. Which has the same vibes as "this is not about human rights, this is about human life."

    WhatsApp was previously suspended in Brazil for refusing to hand over decrypted messages.

    Austria is in the process of passing legislation allowing police to backdoor encryption in messaging apps

    China and Russia are very obvious problems. Here's an easy one of many examples

    The White House both in Trump's first term and in Biden's presidency were pro-encryption. Signal and Tor were US government funded projects. That's not to say the US is great on encryption, and there have been laws in the past that did/were proposed to limit it. But, as of now, it seems that the US is (edit: one of) the most hospitable jurisdictions for encrypted messaging non-profits.

    BTW, I'm not saying using Tox is bad, or that Signal is good, I'm just talking about the US jurisdiction part.

  • Does it really matter who made it if you can see the source code? You don't have to trust them.

  • Protester shot in the eye with rubber bullet during 'No Kings Day' rally in downtown Los Angeles

    Jump

  • I don't think so, rubber bullets travel relatively slow, I don't think they would be accurate enough to aim for the eyes. I do think they're probably not careful enough about the face of though

  • I agree, I don't think that a lack of current understanding proves the existence of god in any way. But them drawing the wrong conclusion doesn't mean that they aren't right about there being a lack of current understanding.

  • Constant purity testing, and invalidating everything someone says because you disagree on a couple issues 💀

  • Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.

  • I think thats a kinda dumb purity test when they clearly did put a lot of effort into actually trying, and I don't see why its better if they threw away the supply they already mistakenly bought.
