This is imagined nonsense.... The US has the most permissive definition of free speech in the world. Free speech is referring to freedom from government oppression, not freedom from societal consequences.

Wouldn't you say that a police raid is government oppression, though?

It's not really a question. It is government oppression since police are government employees. Whether their presence is specifically to suppress speech is another question.

Fairly outdated take. The US has elected officials openly using the power of government to punish people and companies for the “wrong” speech.

Name a single example. Politicians using their political power (soapbox) is not the same thing as government oppression

Florida's don't say gay laws. Florida banning books. Florida's reprisals against Disney. Florida's 'anti-woke' laws whitewashing the history of slavery and racism in the US.

DeSantis literally said he was using the power of the government to force Disney to change its creative output: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/03/desantis-promises-fl...

Probably not at the level that the commentator was referring to, but in New Orleans in 2019 an elected sheriff, Randy Smith, had a man arrested after he criticized his office's handling of a murder investigation. This was despite the DA explicitly telling them that the criminal defamation law they were trying to use was ruled unconstitutional when applying it to criticism of public officials.

No... this is a police raid, that is the government. Secondly, the federal government has been breaking first amendment rights for the last 4 years at least; by pressuring social media companies to remove posts.

I bet you don't mind European immigrants.... Why? Are you allergic to melanin?

"Car accident, I'm okay" is shorter and less vague.

There was no rush though

Yea what teenager feels isolated especially during lock down /s

It would undermine your stated mission imo

People die without air conditioning. Private jets are a frivolous luxury. No comparison

I lived in an African desert for 3 years. 50C+/125F+ temperatures being normal. No electricity, so no air con. Nobody died.

People don't die without air con. Stupid people might, but they always will.

Some (very small) subset of private jet flights are medical transfers to higher-level hospitals.

10^-2 is 0.01

Classical off by one when you wrap through zero (not sure if this one has a specific name).

It’s actually also an example of cache invalidation being difficult if you think about it…

off by 1 (order of magnitude)

Off by one floating point

Wouldn’t it be 1ch

Yep, had that on my calc, and then skipped the zero when typing the post. Good catch. Even closer to a pure vacuum!

>stable government

The previous administration attempted a coup to retain power....

in less stable countries they even could have succeeded.

also said guy was just charged. so, maybe there's some hope for that stability.

Opiates arent decriminalized in Philadelphia, seems like your argument is more based in bias then logic

I was talking about the general tolerance towards drugs.

My kid has barely been able to go outside this summer because of months of endless wildfires a thousand miles away...or am I in too deep with my lying eyes and wheezing lungs?
