deathgrips··on Academy establishes inclusion standards for Oscars eligibility
The facts are in--white people can't make good movies on their own. It was a good run, but they couldn't keep up the charade forever. /s

You should probably go hide in your safe room just in case there is a squad of Spetsnaz driving to your location to fake your death.

Protonmail should probably establish an Oversight Board to decide when to delete controversial files.

This falls apart when you examine prohibited goods. Guns are illegal in most countries because they are very useful.

This website really isn't for me if the average user can't tell the difference between chocolate and bullshit...

Care to share a link or two to a news story corroborating this?

Yes and more than that. It's virtue signaling to say you have some value when you have no evidence to back up that claim.

The people flagging you know jack shit about guns and gun laws.

Do you think people need a justification to have feelings?

>explain to the police why there's a dead man in your living room

>and a few hundred thousand dollars later in court and legal fees

This is not legal advice. In the future, please consider not talking to the police for any reason. Please also consider buying legal insurance for self-defense incidents.

Aside from that, I don't see what your point is. The power to defend yourself with violence is a legal right that Americans have in practice in most states. In Texas people with licenses to concealed carry end up committing fewer unjustified killings per capita than the police. They seem to be wielding their rights just fine.

Normal people have nightmares for years after killing someone, even in the most perfectly justified cases of self defense. You don't easily recover. If you can kill someone and be more or less OK after that, you probably have antisocial personality disorder or you've had a lot of training to desensitize you to killing. Neither of those are good qualities in public service.

That is reasonable instruction for soldiers but not cops.

We do though. College students have the right to guns and the right to self-defense.
deathgrips··on Initial Covid-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported
There wasn't a consensus back in February that covid19 was the black plague. Even though we didn't have the data to justify shutdowns, governments everywhere shutdown businesses because politicians won't personally feel the pain of job loss.
deathgrips··on Initial Covid-19 infection rate may be 80 times greater than originally reported
It's not a given that people keep dying at the same rate year after year.

America needs to secede from North America and close all airports and seaports...

Weren't doctors beginning to question whether intubation had any effect on recovery?

Why would it be worse than Facebook?
deathgrips··on Facebook’s dominance is built on anti-competitive behavior
It's a trade off. Do you want to risk being censored by your own country or risk being censored by San Francisco?
deathgrips··on Facebook’s dominance is built on anti-competitive behavior
Doesn't matter. It results in less competition. The government's goal is to promote competition.

>But why are acquisitions anti-competitive?

Because now there's less competition.

deathgrips··on Most employees of NYT won’t be required back in physical offices until 2021
Management doesn't care about this. They don't care about language barriers, cultural differences, time zones, etc. All they care about is reporting to their boss that they cut expenses by 50% and hired people who at a glance look just as suitable for the job.
deathgrips··on Video Games Are the Future of Education
Just fire most of the administrative workers. Everyone's a spendthrift until you want to spend money on teachers instead of administrators and multi-million dollar buildings and stadiums.
