SCOOP: Apple Quietly Made ICE Agents a Protected Class Internal emails show tech giant used anti-hate-speech rules meant for minorities to block an app documenting immigration enforcement.

'By applying protections meant for vulnerable groups to shield government actors, Apple has created β€” within its own ecosystem β€” a new kind of protected class: state power itself."

β€œWhen in power”. And for this it only takes controlling the executive branch.

Fire all the Republican FTC commissioners and replace them. Same with postmaster general and similar positions.

Only if the opposition party decides to continue being the only side to play by the old rules when in power.

I love shorter videos. I’m old with kids and have to plan out time to watch long ones.

Commas in texts too. I kinda hand-waved this stuff as being from a Mormon family?

If they were fake I assume they would have made it less sympathetic.

Other theory I saw is that the partner was in on it and they staged the convo to save her from prison.

Recent text messages can be pulled from cell towers. If she deleted them she could have been hit with destroying evidence/aiding & abetting (I think, I’m not a lawyer)

Don't you all realize what this means? The right will begin a systematic and extralegal oppression of their political enemies and vulnerable populations. This is the first thing I saw on the news after waking up from a 25-year coma.

(Mostly) just giving a hard time. I like Nepal’s UTC+5:45 time zone because I’m a programmer but an evil one.

Why not switch to Beijing Time? It is already the most widely used. UTC is only the β€œreference” due to British imperialism.

I'm getting the sense that some of you have fallen for the lie that frivolous lawsuits are an embarrassing problem. That's a clever bit of propaganda from business and capital. Suing over unfair or dangerous practices is a good thing.

It is quite literally a popularity contest. Are you aware of the concept of a popular vote?

You can tell people what they β€œshould do” all day but it is probably smarter to listen to what they have said they will do. If leftists are already saying they wouldn’t vote for him, isn’t he too risky of a candidate?

Highlighted section of an excerpt from a report on police attempts to infiltrate anarchist groups. Relevant portion:

Infiltration is made more difficult by the communal nature of the lifestyle (under constant observation and scrutiny) and the extensive knowledge held by many anarchists, which require a considerable amount of study and time to acquire.

Actually it is the infighting and reading that keeps us safe (full doc files.libcom.org/files/ADA%20...)

There’s so many different ways β€œgifted kid” programs are implemented. While I was in school it was some variation of weekly but only missing one class, monthly but a whole day, and every other week and a half day. In all I was mostly in β€œnormal class” but still got to do more challenging material.

BAC Calculator Online calculator to estimate the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level based on the amount of alcohol consumed, the time elapsed, gender, and body weight.

Depends on weight and time since it was drank but probably somewhere in the 3-5 drink range to be just over the limit for most people. www.calculator.net/bac-calculat...
