It makes me happy to hear you say that on many levels... While Israel is an absolute disgrace and deserves to be shamed for what their doing, to equate that with Jews in general is deplorable and uncalled for!

Regular reminder that Jewish people, as a whole, cannot be blamed for what the #Netanyahu regime is doing in #Gaza / #Palestine. Most Jewish people cannot vote in #Israeli elections, do not have influence over that government, and overwhelmingly dislike Netanyahu himself. Even in israel, we see a chunk of the population openly protesting what is happening: support is not unanimous there. Even then, the majority of support is coming from anger and fear, not some innate desire to carry out #genocide.

Blaming Jewish people, as a whole, for what a group of extremists are doing in #Palestine is not only as absurd as people blaming #Palestinians, as a whole, for what Hamas did, it is counterproductive to the greater movement, where Jewish voices are the most effective ones.

Antisemitism is no more a winning argument than #islamophobia, and neither are really appropriate or civil discourse.

Stop blaming entire groups for the actions of a few members.

I mean look, this isnt a paid service, its a charity. So I certainly never claimed to make any specific promises in terms of how quick we can add new features or fix bugs. If you feel the pace isnt something acceptable, you should move servers. I dont say that out of hostility or anger but just as a statement of fact, there is no promise or garuntee of service so if you need better service you should go somewhere that gives you what you need.

I have made it quite clear that I cant promise deadlines, I can at best give wildly vague estimates and if you want a better sense of timeline you would have to come to the chat and ask or watch the progress. That is still the case, at best I can give you generalities.

Everything we said has literally been followed through on, or will be, you are upset at the time it takes, and while that is understandable it is not the same as "not following through"... we just got through with a **massive upgrade** we worked months on and while it took longer than expected we followed through, so it is neither accurate nor fair to say we dont follow through, the timeline takes what it takes and you cant really predict development well.

@EubieDrew

To be honest I kinda like that... Shame doesnt work to change behavior it just masks it. Id rather assholes be assholes and nice people be nice people and we see people at face value. At least then it gives us the ability to have an open and honest conversation about how people act rather than just burying it out of shame.

No I understand. You can dismiss the assertion that Thor is real by being undecided on the issue, which is the only nonfaith based conclusion. The lack of evidence is the whole point. You have exactly as much evidence of thors existence as you do his nonexistance. So if you assert he exists or not then that is faith, if you assert you don't have enough evidence to decide either way then that is science.

Since you claimed you have no reason to believe god doesn't exist, or exist, then you are undecided and thus by definition agnostic.

No but the fact that qualified immunity is codified into law **does** mean the right doesnt exist.

The definition of a right (that is being used here) is: legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way.

Ergo since the law does not give me the same right as cops to defend my life means the cop have a right (to qualified immunity) that I do not, and thus we do not have the same rights.

@Max_Imum

I totally expect violence from the left. But probably not prior to inauguration, they arent that calculating. It will likely build up over months or years of Trump being vile before it finally spills over into riots again.

Unfortunately you dont. A cop has qualified immunity which means if they shoot someone doing something illegal they can get away with a lot more than a private citizen might should they make a mistake. For example if I saw a cop choking someone to death and i pulled out my gun and shot him in the head, and the other cops then pulled out their guns and shot me dead, those other cops would likely get away with it on qualified immunity since they are reacting within the moment. Which means the consequence for me to shoot a cop is to be murdered on the scene with little or no consequence to those murdering me, a cop however could get away with the same act and should he be shot dead the person killing him would likely get in trouble.

Unpopular opinion: You should have the same right to shoot a cop as you do an ordinary citizen should they illegally threaten your life.

@freeschool

and FYI in addition tot he last update a week or so ago we should have another one this week, the fixes are alrteady in the repo for a few things.

I see now from your image you are asking about the search.. thats not "broken" just turned off.. I think we can probably turn it on next week with those fixes.

@freeschool

We have made multiple changes since then.. Have you joined the chat room and keep up to date? Do you need the info again? You can get all the details you want there, you can also follow the code repos directly or any of the other avenues we create updates.

@Ponygirl @ryan

Thinking Thor doesn't exist would require faith like any other god. The fact that you think Thor and and the christian god may exist would make you not atheist but again the word or definition isn't important. Since you say god or Thor may exist then you are not faith based, nor would I call you atheist.

@Ponygirl @ryan

If you believe there is abpossibility, however small, god may he real then you are agnostic. If you believe god doesn't exist you are atheist.

That said definitions matter very little to me. Definitions aside i only would need to know, is there a possibility god exists or not, however low?

Just submitted my first W3C proposed standard to W3C for consideration. I am not allowed to say what it is per W3C rules, but wow its super exciting!

@Ponygirl

A more appropriate term would be faith based, than religion based. Atheists are a faith based position.

100% of atheists claim there is no god, if you are not making that claim you are not atheist by definition, that would make you agnostic (making no assertion about a god either way).

@KimPerales

To be fair if he thinks the voter fraud is carried out entirely by the democrats (which is nonsense but just what if) then it would make perfect sense that him winning would stop him from talking about it. Why would he need to address it if their attempt wasnt successful?
