Avery

> either all speech is free or no speech is free.

hate speech isn't free speech

murgatroid99

@Avery by definition, it kind of is

Avery

12:37 AM

I mean, yeah

you can say your hate speech freely

but you should expect consequences

SaintWacko

Free speech isn't freedom from consequence

murgatroid99

That is absolutely true

Beedrill

If there are consequences to saying a thing, then saying that thing isn't really "free".

So I'm not sure what that sentence is supposed to mean.

I'm not trying to say hate speech is good, I'm just trying to understand what distinction you're trying to make.

murgatroid99

@Beedrill People generally interpret "free speech" overly broadly as implying that they should not be criticized for the content of their speech and/or that private citizens or businesses should not be allowed to choose how (not) to interact with them based on the content of their speech

Beedrill

Ok, I get all that, you can be criticized and people can free speech right back at you, and private entities can disallow you etc.

Avery

12:41 AM

some people don't get that

Beedrill

But as soon as there are legal consequences, it's not "free" speech.

Avery

free speech is fine

SaintWacko

@Beedrill Okay, I agree with you there

Avery

until it's practiced against you

murgatroid99

I think the "freedom from consequences" line comes from people apparently not expecting natural consequences for their actions

SaintWacko

12:42 AM

However, I don't agree with it being all or none

Beedrill

Oh, I see.

SaintWacko

There are certain things that should not be protected by free speech

Beedrill

Yeah that line of thinking is...ugh.

SaintWacko

Such as speech that's likely to cause harm to others

Beedrill

@SaintWacko Yes, I agree with that also.

The "debate" here is whether hate speech is something that's likely to cause harm to others

Beedrill

Ok, got it.

SaintWacko

And there are far too many racists who, while unwilling to pronounce their racism themselves, are more than happy to protect others' right to do so

murgatroid99

12:45 AM

@SaintWacko I think the current rule is that it has to explicitly incite violence

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 I think you're right

Promoting an atmosphere of violence doesn't count

Currently

murgatroid99

And I think that is a good rule, because if you go past that to "This will probably incite violence" or "this is intended to incite violence", you run the risk of interpreting speech based on your own ideology, and not by objective measures

SaintWacko

@murgatroid99 Exactly

murgatroid99

Which runs the risk of punishing ideology alone, which is the primary thing that freedom of speech is supposed to protect us from

So, these people can say whatever hateful things, and everyone else has the right to protest them, and say they're horrible, and publish articles saying they're horrible, and refuse to do business with them, etc.

And it's easy to say "But that statement is clearly a dog-whistle that incites a specific group to violence", but it's so easy to pervert that precedent to censor future groups with significantly non-mainstream ideologies.

Avery

but yeah it seems that dailystormer is still hosted by google, but the DNS seems to be wiped, probably forcibly.

murgatroid99

12:54 AM

I don't support racists' right to free speech because I like what they say. I don't. It's horrible in many ways. But in 20 years, it could be me who is saying things that the majority hates me saying, and I want to be accorded those same rights.

@Avery registrar != host

And I thought that was undone

Avery

except domains.google is just a registrar, or so I heard.

Dragonrage

where do i get the pw for the necromancer tower?

Avery

their site was behind CF and not google shield or whatever either.

so I assume they weren't using the host option, if there is one

murgatroid99

That is weird. The registration was cancelled, according to this article

user15026

@Avery so... Not hosted by them at all, negating whatever point you were trying to make?

Avery

12:56 AM

my bad wording on the message

user15026

It's one of those things, they will find someone to host them. The internet is large and vast and somehow they will get space in it.

Avery

by hosted, I didn't mean "provided hosting service from"

murgatroid99

But that whois record was updated after that article, so I'm not sure what happened

Avery

I meant "still on google domains' control"

1:29 AM

@murgatroid99 i personally don't see the need for guns but it is a very different thing in rural areas

where you literally do need a rifle in case wild animals come threaten you

Beedrill

Guns should be a privilege, not a right.

murgatroid99

@GodEmperorDune The purpose of the second amendment is not to allow people access to hunting rifles

GodEmperorDune

@murgatroid99 yes, it's for people killing guns as part of the well regulated militia where you store the gun at home

well regulated militia gets dropped often

and iirc police forces with guns were not really a thing way back when so it is quite anachronistic

Avery

I like how jimquisition is shot in 60fps

murgatroid99

Early American also didn't have anywhere close to the border security or military might we currently have.

So, a semi-standing militia with guns at home would have been a valuable asset for national security

On top of that, the US had become independent because of individual citizens with guns rising up in a rebellion against a tyrannical government, so such a thing was probably seen as valuable.

But the political landscape of the entire world has changed a lot since then

GodEmperorDune

1:34 AM

@murgatroid99 speaking of value, for most people back then a gun was the pinnacle of family wealth

so the 2nd amendment was also a property right if you didn't own land

almost like the right to own a car would be today

murgatroid99

That's a pretty good comparison, because a car is probably the deadliest thing most people own

Unionhawk

I mean, ye

I technically own a muzzle loading flintlock but car is 5000% more potentially lethal

Beedrill

Imagine if we were writing the constitution today, and had a specific clause for allowing manual cars, and then in the future when all cars are self-driving and safer, some people still hold onto their dangerous manual cars.

murgatroid99

@Beedrill exactly

GodEmperorDune

@Beedrill yes

Beedrill

1:38 AM

And manual cars can still be pretty cool for race tracks and closed courses, for leisure time.

Unionhawk

Excluding intentional acts, infinity percent

Beedrill

But they shouldn't be allowed on the road.

But they are, because of the stupid constitution.

murgatroid99

And we've already seen how that plays out, in the context of this 1st vs 2nd amendment issue

Unionhawk

I propose the following constitutional amendment: "Nazis and white supremacists can go away forever"

Support my gofundme to summon a constitutional convention to make this happen

Beedrill

I would trade every nazi and white supremacist for one immigrant.

Can we do that?

@badp if people complain stopped saying "the game is too hard" and actually asked legit questions, then the answer probably wouldn't be "git gud"

most people don't ask for advice when playing Dark Souls games, they just complain about how hard it is. And "git gud" fits that perfectly

badp

I mean

not really

I was having trouble with the general difficulty of Rabi Ribi but there are several things you can do about it

the promo item is almost game breaking and I can tell you where to find it

there is an NPC that will lower the game difficulty and I can tell you where it is

Chippies

Without telling you how to play the whole game, we can't help you when you say the game is too hard

badp

the game has two modes and one of them will have bosses getting stronger as you pick up items, so i can tell you not to pick up items or to play the game in the other mode

the fact that Dark Souls doesn't have any of those affordances, if true, is on Dark Souls

Chippies

@badp that only works when the game specifically makes itself harder when you do something and you don't know it's making it harder

if dark souls is too hard, you can make a magic user character

Transliteration of Ancient Egyptian

In the field of Egyptology, transliteration is the process of converting (or mapping) texts written in the Egyptian language to alphabetic symbols representing uniliteral hieroglyphs or their hieratic and Demotic counterparts. This process facilitates the publication of texts where the inclusion of photographs or drawings of an actual Egyptian document is impractical. It should be emphasised that transliteration is not the same as transcription. Transcription seeks to reproduce the pronunciation of a text. For example, the name of the founder of the Twenty-second dynasty is transliterated as ššnq...

@badp The reason why we don't have jetpacks and flying cars is because the government is secretly suppressing it. Wake up sheeple!

@badp Mr Broni.

pls

> the world’s first “emoji translator” has been hired. Keith Broni, 27, was appointed by London-based consultancy firm Today Translations earlier this year to iron out businesses’ use of Unicode’s pictorial language. When companies are unsure as to whether communications containing a winking face emoji will come off as cheeky, or just plain charmless, they give Broni, from Dublin, a call.

how to be a brand good at social media: 1) you can't stop trying

My son's optometrist changed the prescription of his contact lens, so I ordered a new one at the updated prescription. They sent me one with the old prescription.

Can literally nothing go right with this?

AP Standards Guide: don't use alt right except in quotes

Nzall

@Unionhawk I think calling them So Called Alt Right means giving them the way too good acronym SCAR

Unionhawk

lowercase, hyphenated, with quotes except when using "so called" is also specified in the style guide

@Unionhawk "Alt Right" is also too obscure. I mean, the mother of the terrorist who ran over protesters with his car thought he went to an Albright meeting. Albright was the (first female) secretary of state during the Clinton admin

Chippies

@Zachiel that being one of the problems and the other was that the initial spawn is always too high

every time you enter a brand new area, you get greeted by a swarm of mobs that just decimate you, unless you kite them around for minutes

Unionhawk

@Nzall also avoid using it without definition because it's not a well known term probably designed as a marketing nonsense thing is in the guide

also confederate monuments in baltimore are gone

good
