Such a bill would only prevent social media sites from officially linking or posting to news (assuming it was found legal at all). Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act immunizes internet sites from content posted by their users, so this would include links to external news articles.
I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish here anyway. How many people only read news articles because it was in their Facebook feed? Do they really think someone is going to subscribe to the LA Times simply because they stop getting served up their articles in Facebook?
I find that 66% of Americans are homeowners statistic to be suspect as well. Are they counting people that "own" their home, but are underwater on their zero down mortgage?
To me, you don't really own your home unless it's completely paid off. So, what percentage of that 66% have active mortgages, and how much equity do they have in their homes? Now do that same analysis for the 55% figure he provides from the 1950s. I would be willing to bet there's a lot more equity in houses in the past.
We also had a strong industrial base and you could get a well paying blue collar job in a factory and raise a family on that single income.
6% of Americans had a college degree (38% today)
Which is why you now need a college degree to stock the shelves at the Gap. Sending half of America to college didn't elevate them, it just degraded the value of the degree and the quality of the education.
I've heard both "unhoused" and "experiencing homelessness" for a while now. They're both stupid. "Unhoused" makes me think of "unhorsed" and a knight being knocked off his mount in a joust.
Since unhorsed is a real would and it means unwilling removal from said horse, I'm assuming they picked "unhoused" to try and subconsciously communicate that these are just everyday folks that were magically removed from their house and not the drug-addicted murber hobos that they are.
2nd link is paywalled. Try this: https://12ft.io/proxy?&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.latimes.com%2Fcalifornia%2Fstory%2F2022-09-30%2Fjudge-backs-fbi-beverly-hills-safe-deposit-box-raid
The warrant request omitted a central part of the FBI’s plan: permanent confiscation of everything inside any box containing at least $5,000 in cash or goods, a senior FBI agent recently testified.
So that's called perjury on the part of the agent that swore out the warrant application. But that's OK because:
The omission had no bearing on whether Kim found probable cause to seize the company’s business equipment, so it was “immaterial” to the warrant request, Klausner found.
So, fucking idiot judge says it's OK that the FBI lied to a different judge about what it planned to seize and why, because there warrant was valid for the search they said they were going to conduct (but did something else instead).
Honestly the solution to this violates forum rules, but it's an effective and permanent way to stop evil people from doing evil things.
Yeah, I caught that too. He played a background character in both movies. I'm sorry he passed away, but this seems like the news trying to make him seem like a more famous actor than he was.
Looks like someone opened the cage at the zoo.
Right in front of city hall too. It's like fucking Thunderdome in that city.
The truly weird thing is that their leadership caste is still overwhelmingly white men. I'm sure they're using blacks as useful idiots, but I'm not sure what their end-game is with whipping up whites with self loathing.
They also must be pretty secure in their positions to not be afraid that the masses screaming "kill whitey" won't notice the color of their skin and remove them.
There's the rub, their ideas only make sense when viewed from the simple lens of "white people bad".
Hence, when white people migrate it's bad because they're stealing other people's lands and when foreigners migrate to white people's lands it's good because they're displacing the bad people.
Rick rolled by drones forming a QR code above a city? You deserve it.
Why aren't these drone billboards already illegal? Nobody, not even liberal idiots, wants to live in a fucking recreation of Blade Runner.
Make sure you also report woke users for suspected self-harm. They will get a nice email with links to a suicide hotline and a note that a fellow redditor reached out because they were concerned for them. LoL.
I hadn't heard that detail. An illegal seizure without a warrant should allow the victims to sue the agents in their individual capacity for a 14th Amendment "under color of law" violation. If it survives the FBI's inevitable challenge, the agency wouldn't be able to pay the legal bills of the agents.
Even if they don't expect to win, putting a dozen FBI agents in the position of having to pay for their own defense, potentially losing their savings and home in the process, should prompt the FBI to reconsider releasing the seized property.
So, truth=hate. That's about right from these people.
"Important minority group". LoL. If we were to list all the societal contributions by black people and then list all of the societal ills caused by them does anyone in their right mind think it would balance out to a net positive contribution?
I'm sure there's some cyberpunk-type books that merge the sci-fi and detective genres. I can't think of any specifics though.
I also read that book that William Shatner had ghostwritten for him to slap his name on years ago: Tek War, or something like that. I don't necessarily recommend it because I read it when I was much younger but I seem to recall part of the story was unraveling who killed his wife and using cyber implant technology to do it.
I read about this story a while back. Supposedly the safe deposit company was a front for some money laundering, but it also had a significant number of genuine customers and all of their property got rolled up as well. I thought I read that the customers had gotten some attorneys to fight for them.
Civil asset forfeiture is an obvious violation of the Fourth Amendment. The fact that it not only survived the very first court challenge against it but has somehow proliferated to every level of law enforcement in the country shows that the justice system is really just a fucking racket.
You'd have to have several big depositors at a smaller bank to have an impact. You'd be hoping to kick off a domino effect once word hits the streets that more banks have failed.
The only way to really crash the system is if the big ones like Bank of America, Chase, and Wells Fargo are in trouble. That's not going to happen unless panic spreads to the normies and they all run to the ATM.
That's a caricature of a human being.
But they don't have a cervix. WTF?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the $250,000 FDIC insurance is per Bank, correct so if you had $500,000, you would simply divide it evenly among two FDIC insured accounts at two different banks and all of it would be insured. This is on the depositors if they dumped all their money in one bank knowing that only that portion of it was insured.
You know, the first two Toby McGuire Spider-Man movies were fun. They really captured the spirit of a comic book. And Willem Defoe's over the top acting and facial expressions were hilarious.
OK, so I was trying to figure out if I'm just so out of touch with comics that I didn't recognize these characters or if the were just made up for this shitty show. So it's the latter?
He looks like a bearded budget Alec Baldwin in that picture with the straw hat.
I'm not surprised. Back when the story first broke I said that it's bad form when an employee of the university is rude to an invited guest. Whether the University agrees with the judges politics or not, they can't have an employee doing that shit.
