The directors of the matrix are both trans, and confirmed that it was an allegory. Trans people are usually faced with the dilemma of repressing their identity (blue pill) or transitioning (red pill).
Slow down. I merely clarified the matter being discussed. You might have a clear opinion on that matter, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a dilemma without a simple answer.
Also note that the US was attacked and got directly involved in the war mere months after the lend-lease act was signed. That is what NATO is trying to avoid. The difference is that the Nazis did not have nukes and were already fighting a two-front war, so they had little power or incentive to escalate.
That analogy is faulty. It's undisputed that Ukraine can use its own arms. The question is about whether they can use the other arms given to them by NATO countries for there purposes.
Why do you keep posting articles from CIA-funded outlets?
Such is the fate of hypercentralized spaces. The fediverse fixes this.
Women can choose to wear a hijab, just like women can choose to be a stay at home parent, out of their free will. But pressuring them one way or the other is cringe.
Would there be any evidence that could satisfy you, or are you just looking for a reason to dismiss this?
Leftists fighting leftists would be pretty on brand, but in that case they'd both call each other fascists. So you're probably right.
I don't see how this is so difficult. Given the choice between a narcissistic billionaire or an independent, accountable government commission that's bound by the rule of law, I'll choose the latter every time.
Wat ik me kan voorstellen is dat als je "enkel" een huis erft dat je dan opgezadeld wordt met belasting die je niet kunt betalen tot je het huis hebt verkocht;
Daar zijn al regels voor. De termijn voor het doen van aangifte voor erfbelasting is ten eerste erg ruim (8 maanden). Daarbovenop kun je nog uitstel krijgen (4 maanden standaard, of zelfs meer dan een jaar als je een woning erft).
They are not above the law, because these is no law in the US that regulates how social media platforms should be moderated. This is new territory. The EU only recently passed the Digital Services Act that broadly deals with this topic.
I don't have an opinion on the matter being discussed
You know it's an option to just... keep scrolling right? This isn't high school, you aren't obliged to leave a comment.
With this approach you would lose the subvolume structure and deduplication if I'm not mistaken.
Obviously acquiring publicly available data is legal
Under the EU GDPR it is often not legal. Controllers need a legal basis, which only exists if there is an appropriate relationship between the controller and the data subject.
The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.
Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I'm sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.
