Seriously though, don't do violence.

I certainly agree with that, but that agreement is not a call to violence, and definitely not an incitement of violence...from a legal perspective.

Legal smeagol. When the legal system (jury box) fails us, time to move on to the next box.

I don't disagree, but I don't want to get on the wrong side of any of the ToS. Or wind up on a government watch list.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

The government stopped using watch lists. It's easier just to watch everyone.

One of the things I remember Snowden saying about the NSA's data collection is, something to the effect of, "It doesn't even make sense. If you're looking for a needle in a haystack, the answer isn't more hay." I was still outraged by the government's collection of my meta data, but it did make me feel a little better about their ability weaponize that data competently.

It's not so much the excess hay their collecting, it's the giant electromagnetic they're building.

You're not even willing to risk THAT to help fight against evil?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I mean... I'm not willing to risk that for a meme post.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

What do you think that the difference is between a meme post and public conversation?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

There's a public, digital record of one and a very slim chance (for most people) that anyone who would care is listening to the other.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I'm saying that framing a meme post as the fight against evil is a bit much.
