@interfluidity I'm not too proud to admit that I had to google it to participate in this conversation.

@interfluidity @karchie Notable works that are bad novels were the bane of my existence as a schoolkid. Doesn't surprise me that they don't want to read it, lol.

@interfluidity If your premise is accurate, then yes. The government should not be making content-based restrictions.

But, as I mentioned in a different post, I don't entirely buy that the Turner Diaries are "suppressed", not until I see evidence that it was removed for ideological reasons.

@interfluidity @karchie Eh, not every library can carry every book. If they did, they'd take up multiple square miles.

A book being pulled for its content offending politicians is different than a book being pulled because it's old and hasn't been checked out in a decade.

@kevkev Just played around with it myself. Set the second keyframe's left tangent to "Constant".

@realcaseyrollins @freemo As I understand it, you could switch "Israel" and "Hamas" and your post would still be 100% true... 🤷‍♂️

@realcaseyrollins @freemo I mean, according to The Guardian, Israel is currently shelling schools and hospitals and civilian border crossings. Reckoning for wrongs would be one thing if those wrongs weren't still being actively committed.

@wndlb @skinnylatte Right, good point; that's like half the premise of the Kitchen Nightmares series.

@wndlb @skinnylatte Okay, now I want a "Terran Fusion" restaurant.

@freemo @realcaseyrollins Agreed. It's not about shifting blame from one side to the other, but about understanding that both sides are doing truly terrible things that perpetuate the endless cycle of violence between them. Anyone condemning one side and standing with the other is, therefore, inherently hypocritical.

@villetakanen @SteveCooke Yeah, but they can't take over the assets of a company when those assets aren't in their jurisdiction...

@skinnylatte Okay, I get your point, but also "Occidental Restaurant" sounds delicious and I would absolutely eat there.

@Chancerubbage @SteveCooke @deannapizzuti True, but regulators are slow to count, so if it's 6% of *last year's* income, then that'll probably be enough to bankrupt them, lol

@SteveCooke (A) I'll believe that when they're actually levied, not when I see a screenshot of somebody threatening to do so.
(B) What's the punishment for him just flat-out refusing to pay the fines they levy against him?

@cek To the best of my knowledge, everything you just said applies to traditional DDOS attacks too. You can't tell if they're malicious either, but once they go over the limit, you cut them off anyway to play defense. Why does that not apply here?
