If calling out bullshit, conflations and straight up stupidity is racist, then the definition of what racism is has become so diluted that it doesn’t mean anything useful anymore. Racist participants in TechDirt seem unable to keep their racist pro-discrimination nonsense straight. It’s entertaining that Twitter et al are not a statutorily defined federal telecommunications common carrier, it’s also entertaining that they don’t fit the definition of common carrier. The USPS is a common law-defined state message common carrier just like Twitter and other racist discriminatory social medium platforms. No, but it is a common carrier per the definition. It’s entertaining that the USPS is not a statutorily defined federal telecommunications common carrier. But the cost for the grill cheese is still the same, just your final bill will be higher.įinally, it’s one more comment from That One Guy, this time in response to the rather inherently flawed assertion that “to claim that Twitter or Facebook has any true competitors is obnoxiously stupid”:ĭid… you know what, I’ll give you a few minutes to see it. The price of the grill cheese sandwich has not gone up, just the price of the milk for the cheese has increased, thus causing cheese prices to go up, and in turn you will now see an additional line item “cheese recovery cost fee” representing these additional costs. 😏įor editor’s choice on the funny side, we start out with a comment from Eric about wireless prices creeping upwards following mergers: The only reason I haven’t yet been caught is that I’m very, very good at hiding the bodies. To this day I still play Fable II and Fable III on the Xbox 360, and it’s caused me to regularly run up to random people, do a gymnastic flip and land on my knees on their shoulders, and then grip their heads between my thighs before fatally breaking their necks with a sharp twist of my hips. We already saw the second place comment above (where it also won second place for Insightful), but in first place it’s a comment about blaming video games for mass shootings: Over on the funny side, Naughty Autie took both of the top spots. And if it might be dangerous, cops really don’t want to be involved. This mutual exclusivity of crimes reported versus arrests made continued for at least the next two years.Īs I have said before, if it is not fun or profitable, cops don’t want to be involved. drug crimes, DUI, vandalism, etc), no crimes were reported. rape, assault, robbery, theft, etc) no arrests were made, and for all of the categories for crimes where arrests were made (i.e.
That is, for all of the categories that crimes were reported (i.e. Many years ago, when the state college I attended was first required to make an annual report of campus police activity (the campus police were technically state police, the same as the Highway Patrol, the state Bureau of Investigation, etc), the categories of crimes reported and crimes for which arrests were made were mutually exclusive. Next, it’s a comment from Upstream about the disconnect between what people care about, and what cops enforce: I expect it will be used and the overwhelming number of people/companies using it will be exactly the sort that shows up so often in TD articles about weaponizing the legal system for fun and profits. ‘Copyright extortion for cheap? Where do we sign up?!’ Now you know what moderation based purely on viewpoint actually looks like, and we, the sensible folk on Techdirt, are all laughing at your dismayed reaction.įor editor’s choice on the insightful side, we start with a comment from That One Guy about the Copyright Small Claims Court:
Wow, you’ve sure changed your tune! Before (just yesterday), you were absolutely convinced that it was only ‘woke idealogue’ social media websites like Twitter that engaged in viewpoint-based ‘censorship’. In second place, it’s a comment from Naughty Autie (that also won second place for Funny), responding to another commenter’s thoughts on Truth Social banning people over January 6 comments: Oh look, an actual rights violation by an actual common carrier. This week, our first place winner on the insightful side is Toom1275 with a comment about the USPS seizing “defund the police” facemasks: Sun, Jun 12th 2022 12:00pm - Leigh Beadon
