How prevalent the use of the exact phrase ‘Your body, my choice’ is irrelevant when the intent behind it is so common in other espoused rhetoric. The fact is that too fucking many people are happy to tear up a woman’s right to self determination and force women into situations that put their lives at risk. I don’t think we can ignore any rhetoric that supports or gives cover to such attacks on a woman’s autonomy.

At this point I would not be surprised if we started seeing feminist groups becoming armed and violent. And as much as I have a disdain for political violence, I don’t think I could condemn them for doing so.

But can you wreck a conversation like a group of Kirovs?

Progress towards what?

I prefer to use Main/Sub terminology. It also works without needing to change any acronyms.

You can get all the classic C&Cs on Steam and you can play a good chunk of them online using CNC online. I agree though, we need a new C&C Generals.

As a bisexual British person I absolutely support the idea of returning queer to it’s classic meaning. There’s also the option of just using both meanings. Context will establish which one you mean.

The Republicans are a right queer bunch, unlike my fellow queers in the LGBTQ+ community.

Fair points. I was mostly thinking of situations like downloading using a separate device, writing to a usb drive or SD card and installing via that. Downloading an installer and using it is just downloading without using an app store.

I’ve always took side-loading to mean installing from local storage, as opposed to downloading from remote storage. As far as I’m concerned downloading from a third party app store should not be treated as side-loading.

It kind of is actually. Throwing a milkshake isn’t likely to cause much harm, and would probably result in an assault charge. Throwing acid can cause serious disfigurement and possibly death, and a far more serious charge.

You can condemn her actions without the hyperbole. This happened before and it didn’t result in a wave of acid attacks and I’ve no reason to think this time will be different.

Damn trainsesual agenda, wanting better rail infrastructure.

Not anymore, there’s a blanket.

You get sentenced to a lifetime of Dell.

But it comes with your choice of meme.

Maybe it’s how long it’s been in development, maybe it’s how many times that they’ve changed direction, or maybe it’s just that Ubisoft just put so much garbage in their games, but I predict that this game is going to be a trainwreck.

I was intrigued when they first announced it, but now I’m just so fucking sick of Ubisoft and their bullshit that I’m now just curious to see just how much of a mess it turns out to be.

Well if you want to execute billionaires then I’m not going to stand in your way. But I absolutely oppose having civil courts ordering death sentences.

Well the door fell off in this case… But I’m sure Boeing would like to make the point that this is not typical.

If the government has even the smallest modicum of dignity, he’ll resign or be sacked. It’s one thing to enjoy crass and offensive jokes, I certainly do, but there’s a time and a place for such humour. I mean he’s the Home Secretary for fucks sake! How in the world did he think that that kind of joke would go down well?

I’ve seen first hand the aftermath of someone’s drink being spiked… It’s not something I ever want to deal with again. Though I’ll bet it was far worse for the unfortunate victim of it.

I guess we’ll have to just lock him up while we figure out some way of stopping him committing cybercrime. If only there were some way of preventing him from committing this crime that requires access to a computer to commit. I guess he’ll just have to stay trapped in a phyche ward until society can figure this one out.

Sorry for being snarky and sarcastic, I know what you mean and agree with you. My sarcasm is directed more at the judges ruling and your comment is just what sparked me to write it.

So do you think that shipping companies should charge fees to both sender and recipient? Because that’s the physical equivalent of this situation.

I pay my ISP to deliver data to me at an agreed rate. The data being streamed from the bandwidth heavy sources has been paid for… By me. It would be wrong for my ISP to then go and charge them for the bandwidth that I’m using, much in the same way it would be wrong for a company to both charge the sender and receiver of a package just because that package is heavier than normal.

And many of the CDN agreements that bandwidth heavy content providers sign with ISPs have favourable terms specifically because those ISPs recognise that having good access to that content is exactly what their customers are paying for… At least the ones not completely blinded by greed do.

From how I understand the judgement. Yes the postal company does have a legal obligation to deliver to all businesses. In this case, it’s not the postal company making the decision to not deliver to Tesla but rather the union. Therefore the postal company is unable to make the deliveries due to circumstances outside of their control.
