No one is preventing you from leaving the USA. Most countries are just making it difficult to enter. I’m all for having more open borders, but that’s probably not what you’re arguing for.

No one is preventing you from starting your own community either. There just isn’t any land remaining that isn’t already owned.

And the “punished based on the rules of the given community, or expelled” thing is describing a government, although because of the aforementioned lack of unowned land, they only expel immigrants nowadays.

Housing and healthcare are essential for survival. If anyone doesn’t get those things because they can’t afford them, while others have far more than they need, that’s cruel and unjust. You should include both of them under “assistance for less fortunate”.

Schools have more benefits than I can list here. It’s absurd to not fund them.

Culture attracts people to spend money in your city, which benefits business owners and many laborers, and generates a lot of tax revenue. Usually that brings in a lot more money than it costs, and that turns into extra money for essential services, instead of taking away from them. Sports can fall into this category as well, but those have gotten out of hand lately and sort of turned into a dick measuring contest between different cities.

I’m mostly with you on tax breaks, though. They’re supposed to incentivise corporations to create jobs in your city instead of somewhere else, which should have a good ROI, but in practice it’s almost inherently corrupt.

Congrats, you reinvented the government.

Well yeah, they’re just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don’t recognize, it’ll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.

The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn’t a reasonable thing to do by default.

Just use git blame-someone-else.

The fans of some streamer are not going to kill you.

Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they’re 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.

Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

Sure, if she finds a lawyer who will work pro bono.

Even then, she and her son will be homeless for a long time before winning anything.

We’re in this situation because people don’t vote.

All other forms of political activism, aside from murder, exist to convince people to vote.

Activism without voting is worthless.

You want more progressive candidates? Vote for Democrats until Republicans are forced to move to the left, and then Democrats will be able to move to the left as well.

That’s how the Overton window works.

You want to make Trump the first king of the United States to punish Biden for… what, exactly? Failing to stop Trump?

What the fuck kind of logic is that?

Don’t tell other people to do things that you clearly haven’t done yourself.

Now do the George Floyd riots.

You mean the ones where cops and white supremacists pretended to be protesters and started smashing windows and setting fires themselves, because the real protestors weren’t doing anything that they could be arrested for?

So when you try to murder people you unarmed into a building filled with armed men?

People who illegally entered Capitol grounds during the insurrection were armed with a wide variety of weapons, including guns, stun guns, knives, batons, baseball bats, axes and chemical sprays. The Department of Justice said in an official update last week that so far “over 75” people charged in connection to the attack “have been charged with entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon.”

They also made pipe bombs.

Lmao no it isn’t. It’s completely insignificant and barely even qualifies as news.

The US Dollar is strong because we have the largest economy in the world, not because of the good will of some oil exporter.

At least google things before spreading insane misinformation.

Did you miss the part where they were trying to murder most of congress?

Also:

Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer. Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months. Damages caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.

What happened was an attempted coup, where a mob of people was only two barricaded doors away from murdering most of congress.

They do, most of the time. For example if you upload an heic file from an iPhone to a file input on a website that doesn’t accept heic files, it’ll upload a jpeg.

Apple can’t see or control all the different ways of transferring files, though, so in practice it still causes problems sometimes.

The strange thing is that some Android phones also save photos as heic files and make no attempt to convert them, so I still had to add logic to my websites to convert them myself.

It would stop them if people would actually fucking do it.
