And there it is! Glad we could boil it down to your superiority over AmErIcA. Fucking nationalists.

Glad to see the rest of the world is just as fucking stupid as the majority of this country.

You challenged my response, I questioned your stupid premise and asked for actual fact, you couldn’t provide (probably due to your laziness, you’d probably fit in better here than you’d like to believe…) a single point of argument except your feelings. Learn what debate and conversation actually resemble, or don’t, you’ll fit right in with the masses.

Fuck off and get back to class, yah twat.

Bro, you haven’t even made a fucking point. Get out of here with this fucking bullshit. You obviously can’t explain much of anything outside of how you “feel” about these things. You showed your age with the “racism was non-existent”, obviously haven’t been around for too long. Never used the word extremist, but honestly it’s not bad. Yeah, every country has them.

Do me a favor, and try to only reply to comments where you actually have a fucking point. You’re gumming up the works for the people looking to have actual discussions.

Fuck you.

Yeah, that’s pretty general. If you’d like to pick a country and a few example cases I’d love to actually be specific. Burden of proof on the prosecution? Can I just say my neighbor said racist shit and they go to jail? Context? Set list of phrases/words? Past precedent and public opinion? Warnings vs fines? Etc?

Pretty sure a lot of these places let a lot of questionable people gather and say a lot of questionable shit publicly without any consequence. Not just the US.

I’d love a list of examples by country and their specificities? If not it just feels like you’re saying, “your free speech is too free”?

From my understanding, and please, someone correct me:

Hate speech has to be tied to a crime. If you knock someone’s mailbox over it’s destruction of property, if you do it while yelling a racist phrase at the person then it may be considered a hate crime which depending on the state can carry additional, often heavier punishment. Racism isn’t illegal, just bad taste.

As far as American free speech is concerned, outside of inciting violence or injury (rallys that turn violent, yelling fire in a movie theater) you can pretty much say whatever the fuck you want… Unless it’s towards a corporation or rich person who can sue you into the floor for years debating your use of “satire, irony, fantasy, parody” if they kinda choose to. Legal system is beyond fucked, and with all the deep fake shit coming and going it’s most likely give more power to these kinda cases. Also, it feels like there’s a rise both legally and socially for thought crimes. A whole new bag of fun.

Edit: Obviously, threatening someone with violence is indeed illegal. Can’t tell folks you’re going to kill them.

Fucking love this comment. If only we could charge people for being ignorant, or willfully dumb, or just racist. Amazing how folks wanna throw their individual right to free speech away instead of holding “news” corporations accountable. One is much easier to do and has actual precedent, the other being a collapse of our democracy.

Came here for this one.

Man, did it fuck me up. Existential incest insanity.

This is pretty fucking terrifying. Especially when you start consider how it would propel itself.

If you had loudspeakers on the outside of your head, and passive attenuation in your ears, yes that would reduce pressure for you, but everyone else would have experience an increase. But adding more pressure in the cavity of your ear to reduce pressure makes very little sense.

ANC isn’t protective in any way. If anything it’s probably just as damaging. It’s taking the outside signal and flipping it 180 (out of phase) and putting that in your ear to eliminate it.

Remote Audio isn’t fucking around. Those cans squeeze the shit out of your head to get that -45db, but they work very well.

The idea of “owing” has changed a lot the last 100 years. Used to be ok to have a little debt. Meant you weren’t going anywhere, you were part of the community, invested. Thats changed now that you owe some obscure billionaire or hedge fund down the line. Means nothing. Changing the idea of how we handle debt as opposed to not letting people acquire it feels more appropriate.

So, my OD limit is $500, my fee is $35 regardless of how much I go over. Often in my poorest of months, I would wait till my account got very low, make sure there wasn’t any autopay or pending charges coming, then take out the $500 cash from an atm. I would use that cash to live on till my next paycheck, and deposit whatever funds were left over. My bank would reject any additional charges because its past the limit. This way I wouldn’t stack OD fees, and that’s less than 10%. In this late stage capitalist dystopia, I’d say that’s probably the best deal I could have asked for, outside of more money.

Pumpkin Head 2: Blood Wings

Or Pumpkin Head OG.

Any of the Scarecrow movies, especially the beach or college ones, but really you want Pumpkin Head 2: Blood Wings.

Yeah, it’s solid.

Well, its actually 2 options. It’s phrased to do all three things, “OR” the weed. So…you’re wrong. Nothing like a technicality.

Hyrdroxyzine for the win. Cut my coffee intake and I’ve been much better lately about my weed and anxiety combo. Best of luck.

Back home we had a local station, felt like a way of tuning into “the city.” Very few breaks outside of their pledge drives once/twice a year. Listening to the Jazz station here on short drives these days. Very few ads, and some pretty gnarly shit. College radio stations are also pretty easy to find and escape that ad insanity.

Don’t let radio and broadcast TV die quite yet, it’s still very viable, especially as we sort out net neutrality and failsafe systems in cases of emergency.
