Pieces of paper are just pieces of paper if it's not enforced.

And lucky us, laws are only enforced against us, not for us. In reality, for the average person, the law kind of doesn't matter anymore. It's been hijacked as a useful tool for neo-fascist oligarchs.

Just another form of corporate welfare.

Why should they hire their own security if they can use the municipality's taxpayer dollars to pay for it instead?

The lives of everyone are in danger anytime pigs are around

TFW you want to reply but don't want to actually read the content to understand what you're replying to.

This seems like a pretty good article, if you like to think

Well, makes sense why it's so downvoted now.

And why so many commenters obviously didn't read or even glance at the article before replying.

Eh.

It's directional at least.

The same patterns apply to TV and other forms of media.

The same flavors are the most popular, and it's largely junk.

Why are the municipal police insuring Walmart's bottom line using taxpayer dollars?

Usually because it's kids (or students in college) shooting up schools, not necessarily 3rd party adults.

As a reaction to things like bullying and injustice within their life and within school.

Two things can be true.

It is the industry standard after all.

Welcome to the future, my friends, where soon enough you will not be able to own your own at-home compute because it's too expensive, and instead you'll just have to pay hourly to use someone else's compute.

Building stuff.

Woodworking is forgiving, I suck at it regardless.

Games that let you build are fun, Minecraft, factorio, and the like.

Programming is where I really landed. I tend to cope these days by pouring effort into side projects.

I doubt New Mexico will ever see the money.

What are they going to do to actually punish Facebook for not paying?

Large corporations are somewhat immune from actual consequence these days.

Low key win to everyone in New Mexico

I mean, just look at Brexit.

You take these things seriously because they can have adverse consequences, and that minority may not be as much of a minority as you might think.

If you're in a room and a quarter of the people in that room want to burn the room down, do you not take them seriously because it's only a quarter of the room?

Welcome to crab mentality. Humans are scared, dumb, fucking creatures, man.

Any sort of breathplay to the point of unconsciousness is incredibly dangerous and unsafe.

I'm finding it difficult to understand why you think younger people are somehow less stupid and impressionable?

That's almost a by-definition sort of expectation here.

Young people are stupid and impressionable, just like how older people are less physically capable.

Impressionability is literally a defining aspect of being young and still having a developing brain. This is also why it's such a huge fight to corrupt our education system.

Except for all the local government departments who only provide information on Facebook, and Facebook who loves to sign-in wall information.

It's absolutely infuriating, but it is an unfortunate reality that many will be unwilling to not have a Facebook account simply for that reason, even if they don't actively engage on Facebook.

This and several other reasons make absolutes like yours somewhat unworkable. Participating and being "part" of Facebook means you're supporting it. Having an account does not as there are innumerable reasons to have an account that don't involve supporting Facebook, they are not difficult to think of.

Your rights are being slowly pulled tighter around your neck, and the legal system is not your friend anymore.

When communicating online, like we are right now, is longer considered a legally protected activity, do you roll over like a good puppy and stop communicating with others online in information free forums?

It was legal to kill Jews. Does that mean it was okay, since that was a legally protected activity? Does that mean living as a Jew, no longer being a legally protected activity, requires that you turn yourself in because you are no longer allowed to exist where you are?
