as much as this guy sounds like an asshole should ownership not mean u can modify your own property as u see fit?

That's kind of what emission standards are, is rules of that. You can modify your legally purchased firearm as you see fit, but if your modifications make it shoot in random directions, you can't use it in a shooting range.

Never said exclusively... a group warning of health risks etc... should be using every avenue they can.

Well I mean it's a disease agency. Missinformation on X is bad. Their job however is about getting the word out to people of what to do to avoid diseases. People don't switch networks to follow their favorite health agencies. So... if the job is to warn people about serious shit... it kind of is important to be where the people are currently and try and get the facts heard among the misinformation.

Well I have to say, off the bat, it needs to be not just leftist/marxist. It would need to have large non offensive use in general discourse.

Again my example of pepe for general discord moderation. It's not trolls that show up in say political discussion groups. It's trolls that show up in random game discords or other non-pollitical locations. IE as a moderator I'd also be auto banning someone bringing up random arguements on how we need wealth re-distribution, not because I disagree with them, but because people are just there to talk about a game, and not have political arguement.

and in short that's generally the thing, IMO Pepe isn't... really that overwhelmingly good of a meme where it's just a universal funny to outside groups. But the alt right is the only ones bringing it into more general average Joe locations, along with their hateful rhetoric.

In short for pepe to be recovered it needs... major mainstream Apolitical usage, which quite frankly I don't see often.

doesn’t matter what anyone likes to argue, people are going to die and the only way to stop is to negotiate

OK agreed there, but question, what if the only negotiation the other side offers is "We take all your stuff and you serve us".

Such a facepalm concept

Capitalists. We can't regulate businesses, if a corporation is opperating unsafe, harming the environment, spreading hateful messages etc.... the only check and balance we need is the free market, and the consumers voting with their wallets.

Consumers vote with their wallets, This is unspeakable... we need the government to regulate to make sure the consumers don't organize and vote with their wallets.

Umm... we are limited to "someone took the file". If it's leaked publicly we could call it activism. Or it could be Russia looking to have some blackmail to better control, in which case it won't be leaked unless Gaetz does something they don't want.

could end at trump... I think the name itself already has the connotations of horrors, to the extent that in 50 years, on the "mindnet" or whatever replaces the internet... the future Godwins Law will assume that any arguement on the mindnet will eventually devolve into people calling eachother trump.

The whole wheels of justice turn slowly that kept getting pushed was such a frustration.

"Oh we can't actually do the arrest until we have dotted every I and crossed every T". Well every minute you spent solidifying your case, corrupt judges, lawyers, etc... were destroying the system altogether.

I get it there... but sadly to my knowledge it is lost. Generally speaking when you see the "SomeoneNew has joined the server" and see a pepe avatar... I already pretype the /ban SomoeneNew command watch the screen for 15 seconds... and 9/10 times they say something blatantly racist within that time-frame.

(and don't think that 1/10 that they don't means 10% aren't alt right... of those that don't manage to break the rules in the first 30 seconds, I don't think I've seen one that's gone a week without doing so)

Point is... Pepe is the modern swastika... For those who don't know, the swastika was a peaceful symbol used by many different cultures for thousands of years. But the fact is, using it now just gives legitimacy to those who have attached it to their hateful messages.

It is

“Just stop being ~~sad~~!”

There, fixed

I still have to say what it is, is meant to be a very strong deterant rather than sharing. Now again I do think it's stupid and bullshit to consider porn use a problem unless it's actually causing an impact in life. The point is in theory he'd be mortified if his son were to catch him looking at porn, therefore he won't look at porn because he knows his son would find out. The idea of it is to show his son he's not looking at porn, and to keep his son from looking at porn. The software blocks most porn, and sends out a notification to the other person when it has to block something, and then gives a list of everything that he did visit, which would make it apparent if say he were to happen to find something that slipped through.

The point is still that it isn't sharing porn with his son... because the intention, and most likely the results are, none of the reports will have porn because it's a deterant. Realistically if Mike Johnson is going to look at porn, He's going to use it on a device that he didn't install the software on that his son doesn't know he has. The power portion of it is kind of irrelevant, yes it's true his son can't ground him... but his son would call him a hypocrite.

Again the bigger key is, these morons think looking at porn is a serious problem to worry about, and they are willing to go through and waste so much time and effort, in ways that's likely to constantly interupt regular internet use. The idea that it would be used in a "ooh I see you were watching X, that's my favorite fetish too!", I find misrepresentative of how these things actually work.

Kind of like the old joke. Never invite a baptist to your party, he will drink all of your beer. Instead invite 2 baptists to your party, and they won't touch a drop.
