I guess they're trying to insinuate that there's a conflict of interest because he worked for a government agency and Wikileaks leaked documents pertaining to that government agency.

But, like... That would be like saying no judge could oversee the case of someone who attacked a courthouse because they work for the same legal system. That would be a real loophole in the law if by breaking the right ones, you just couldn't be tried anymore.

I can almost understand the Personal Liberties Libertarian, which I think is what the philosophy was originally supposed to be about. But we often see Corpo-National Libertarians or Totally-Not-An-Anarchist-I-Swear Libertarians, and both of those are baffling to me.

The alternate history where Caeser spent the end of his life in horny jail.

Yeah. If this hadn't been banned already in Canada, it makes me wonder what other laws I just assumed were common in Western republics and democracies actually aren't.

THAT HITS HARD, RIGHT HERE, IN MY EMOTIONAL PROCESSING UNIT.

Most people don't actually know what logic is. I would ask him to define logic to see where he's coming from. Because most people either don't have a definition or if they do it's different than the one the person they're talking to has. But to do that, you'll also want a definition you could explain to someone else going into asking the question.

I agree with you. But it's important to still point out and want to fix problems even in the "better party." We can't simply be accepting of "be less bad." We need to always strive to improve. And weakening the connections between Wall Street and Washington is a big progressive goal that the old guard of Democrats have directly opposed.

Wait, wait, wait... The average middle-class voter who is struggling to get by is starting to turn away from the Tories and their leader's suggestion is to reduce taxes on the wealthiest people? Not to improve services or perhaps address the issues that drove former conservative party voters to Labour. No. Cutting the taxes of the elite, further reducing funding for services that the majority of voters use or rely on is the obvious answer.

I wonder how they'll choose who gets crushed to death at every screening.

You know... I was the last man to sleep with her.

$400m for the rights alone. It doesn't talk about cost of production.

Meaning they're looking to make that rights cost back across the trilogy rather than from one film, but they're constantly adding costs along the way.

Is it actually reducing harm to fight to the last Ukrainian though?

When Russia is trying to commit genocide against Ukraine? Yes.

 

Hello! I just joined Lemmy and am checking things out and noticed you fine Aces over here, thought I'd pop in and say hello, meet the neighbors kind of thing. I'm hoping I'll see my best friend around here if he decides to leave Reddit. He's how I learned about Aces and started getting involved in the community. Without learning about you guys, I would have never discovered my own sexuality.

Well, I do feel a little like I'm invading, so I'll keep this short. I hope to see you around!
