"Thanks Obama!"
This was unfortunately one of the many casualties in the war the Obama DoJ raged on the country. It's unconscionable.

They literally described what it's like to be a left coast conservative.
Which is relevant, since Parlor and other small sites may not have servers on the country due to the big corporation squashing them.
>even if it was, remained several thousand miles of arduous cross-country travel from the entire population of the newly emerging state.
Exactly like how there's no promises now that small blogs will be indexed, will be cancelled with AMP, may outright be banned by ISPs and CDNs, etc.
>People would almost certainly die en route to hear your pontifications.
Packets would almost certainly "die" en route as well due to what's laid out above.
>There's zero comparison with a browser address bar.
Wrong, it's really apt. Thanks for fleshing it out actually.
So bring it forward now like I originally stated: BLM and other leftists can protest in areas that are not high traffic roads, freeways, main streets, federal courthouses, etc. They can protest in the Mojave desert, they won't be censored there. The can all drive there easily, by no means dangerous. Probably safer than the "town square" in many of the Democrat ran cities.
>And btw, "kicked your teeth in" as a description of that thread exchange seems like a great reason to avoid further interaction with you.
You admit defeat and don't have a response, that's fine.
>spoonjim's comment was downvoted
Can't have any wrongthink now can we.
>and incidentally wrong
No it wasn't, it was 100% right, and you didn't have a response.
And spoonjim and ghaff kicked your teeth in.
>That said, I'm not opposed to them becoming the modern day public square.
Saying that "you don't need to use FB/Twitter, you can write your own blog" is like saying in 1789 "You don't need to be allowed to distribute your pamphlets in front of Faneuil Hall in Boston, you can exercise your free speech on the top of a mountain in Colorado."
To which you said: >Being able to speak "only" from one's own blog only makes discovery difficult, it does not limit people's access post-discovery.
This applies to a random mountain in Colorado as well. Discovery is difficult, but after people discover it, they're free to go back ad much as they want.
>But de facto isn't de juris
That's literally how "town square" is defined, de facto, not de jure. You're literally arguing for our position without realizing it.
There's no conflation, Twitter and Facebook are the modern day public square.
>But facts are fairly useless without context
False.
>The interesting part is: what do you plan to do with it?
Nothing. That mere fact will most likely get [flagged] and [dead]ed within the next 24 hours specifically because it is "wrongthink". If you don't agree with my above post being flagged and deaded due to being an inconvenient fact, then we are actually in agreeance.
Multiple leftists calls to violence posted on reddit: https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2019/06/29/reddit-ignores...
I'll ask again, since you didn't even follow the instructions: post three links from Parlor that show calls for inciting violence. I'll wait.
Awesome, so we agree there are oodles of places BLM and leftists can protest that are not high traffic roads, freeways, main streets, federal courthouses, etc. They can protest in the Mojave desert, they won't be censored there.
>I'm certainly against "wrongthink" ... There's wrong, there's false, there's stupid. There isn't any wrongthink in my conception of the world.
Awesome, so we both agree with the objective fact that Blacks commit more violent crimes per capita than any other race. That's a fact, that's neither wrong, false, nor stupid.
But for some reason, I have this feeling that that's not the case. If you're pro-safetyism, you're anti-truth, anti-facts, pro-illogic, and are against wrongthink.
Can you post three Parlor links that supposedly contain "calls to violence" here?
Stop projecting about being a hypocrite.
>What do you think the establishment would have done if BLM protesters stormed congress?
Those rioters have a well documented history of destroying federal property, attacking federal officers, employees, etc. What do you think?
I'd rather be loaded with drunks on LIRR than take the trash chute that is the subway any day of the week.
I can't stand the subway. LIRR on the other hand is quite nice.
SSH and Kerberos has been around for decades, but few companies have it implemented.
It completely removes the need for SSH keys and their related management, user/group management, etc., which is a huge security and administration win.
>Imagine being a country which doesn't feed everybody, house everybody, clothe everybody, give health care to everybody, but does have plenty of time to explain how skin color matters a whole lot and can fund police which will enforce skin-color policies.
This is a fantastic description of leftism! It almost perfectly describes the Bay Area and Portland!
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Trump or Orangeman approaches 1."
Prime example of TDS. Rent free.

Not an opinion, it's a documented and studied phenomenon.
>an accurate measurement of success can only be made with the control group.
Luckily behavioral and social psychologist have been studying this phenomenon:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coddling_of_the_American...
>There is definitely no shortage of bad employees in the non-college employment track... and oftentimes the behavior can far surpass a "screaming children" characterization.
No one said otherwise.
Judging by the amount of screaming children we've seen exit these institutions, they're either not teaching those things, or are doing an extremely poor job at it.
The coddling companies have to do for new grads entering the workforce is a testament to the lack of interpersonal skills, social skills, work ethic, self care, etc. that they gained while away at these institutions of higher learning.
This book perfectly describes what caused radical leftism to seep into Bay Area (Portland, Seattle, etc.) software culture. If you have leftist activist employees or coworkers, I highly suggest this book for them.
Incorrect, you kind of have this backwards. If you're a resident in another state (Texas), and are conducting work in that state (Texas, home office), then HR has to make sure they're conforming to the labor laws of that state (Texas), not the state of the office where you used to work (California).
>You could maybe fight with the State of California for the refund next year, but in the meantime you'll pay taxes in the state if your paycheck says so.
That's why it's pertinent to change your residency as soon as you move, and then update HR the same day. Else you're fighting an uphill battle for no reason.
>If your desk is in NYC, but live in CT or NJ, you'll pay taxes in two states, even if you haven't set foot in your office for months.
No longer true if you no longer actually work there.
>You can try changing your residency to e.g. Texas as you say, getting assigned by HR to a new office or marked as remote, but you can bet that the original state will try everything in their book to keep some of your money.
And you can give them the middle finger because they're wrong. Spending $300 to get your taxes prepped by a CPA will stop 99% of this shenanigans.
>Although you're right in general, there is actually a history of CA going aggressively after the money of residents of other states, like the screenwriter in AZ that did a lot of work for a California customer
That's because he was deriving his income as a unitary business from entirely California sources: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2019/10/22/now-calif...
Again, a lot of states have similar laws on the books (VA, NY, etc.).
Source: I used to be a paralegal, and have worked remotely for a long time in various states.
Many states have similar clauses (NY, NJ, etc.), CA is not unique in this aspect.
The concept of "work done for California" does not exist. If the work is done in Texas (at your house), you pay Texas taxes (no income tax).
