It's sending a message to their racist supporters that it's open season on killing minorities because Trump will pardon them.

Lemmy needs a remind me bot, because this post is going to age like milk.

No need. I'm seeding 24/7 raw dogging my connection and don't hear a peep from my ISP.

If half of this shit was happening in France the general public would have shut the country down a month ago.

Americans are content to complain online and think the system that is ignoring this will suddenly do something about it.

The breadstick analogy was for unlimited not free

It was both. They were advertised as free, they are free, but there are limits despite them being free

Nothing free is unlimited.

Alternatively Americans have no freedoms at all because they all have limits.

Freedom of Travel? You can't walk through a military base.

Freedom of Religion? No one is going to recognize your Jedi holy day. (Not to mention the government not recognizing the religious right to an abortion from Jews or TST.)

Freedom of commerce? You're not allowed to purchase heroin or import things from Cuba.

So he's saying Schools aren't allowed to let Nazis protest that minorities are allowed to attend the school?

If you say unlimited and then put a limit on it

When did the American Constitution promise "Unlimited Speech"?

If it has a limit, it’s not free

"Free bread sticks"

"I'll take 100"

"Um... No. You can't have that many."

"iF tHeRe'S a LiMiT iT's NoT fReE!"

Either you have free speech or you don’t

Lots of countries have free speech with limits on it. It's not uncommon and doesn't mean Citizens don't have freedom of speech.

For example:

Illegal protests? Isn't protesting legal? Freedom of speech and all that...

It already basically is; Anti-piracy laws in Canada don't have a lot of teeth. I leave my torrent computer running 24 hours a day to seed and I don't even get emails anymore after switching to a smaller service provider.

"The real problem with this murder is that the police didn't do enough to stop it. You should blame they police just as much, if not more, than the murderer."

No, the murderer is to blame. Yes, you can criticise those that should have prevented it for not doing more, but the people actually doing the bad thing are worse than the people not stopping the bad thing.

If someone stole your wallet the person who stood there and watched it happen is not the person you should be focusing on.

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to [email protected] When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
