HDD - Remembers numbers loudly is on point for 90s/2000s disk drives. 😂

Right…. “massive bias” especially when they have reporters on the ground, risking their lives and other “news” agency have been drinking their updates from the IDF/Israeli firehose.

Al Jazeera also had its reporter shot by Israel (big surprise) last year for covering the Al Aqsa raids. They have also covered reporters from other news agencies getting shot by Israel in this genocide… err “war”. They are calling out Israel’s actions for what they are and this whole “massive bias because Qatari” is just straight up bullshit.

Yes, they are run by Qatar, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t won accolades in top tier neutral reporting. I’m defending them because we need that style of reporting more and less of what the likes of WSJ have become.

X is a shit company that doesn’t need to exist anymore but I’m equally tired of companies virtue signaling behind causes. Like, fuck off, I don’t need you to tell me that you’re “invested” in “human rights” or “causes” when you treat your workers like shit and fail to provide your retail workers a minimum wage for example.

X and these other companies virtue signaling behind causes for profit/marketing goodwill can all go to hell.

Forgot about this feature. Thanks.

If it comes to iPads and Macs, paying $60 with the ability to access the game on different platforms + cloud saves may make it a compelling buy for the platform.

Now, if only Apple could beef up the AppleTV enough to be able to handle this game like a proper console (or at least close to it). It’d be an excellent experience given that controller support has arrived on all of these devices.

Good. We need more of it since the CCP has made a habit of targeting US infrastructure and civilian targets.

Taking bets on that one soon. I wonder if he is getting brainwashed by his own algos.

Lol, ok.

Looking to ME for development of Tech, making these wild claims about China… I’m not so sure this person knows what the fuck they are talking about.

Yes, we’ve established what ostracizing means. If anybody seems to be jumping through hoops to prove that this law, that target religious minorities isn’t targeted at religious minorities, is you. You shouldn’t have to force (or make them) “blend”. If there’s force or a mandate involved, then it’s already not the best path to freedom of expression and identity.

There’s no such thing as a “secular dress” because people in a truly secular society, can come from different (incl non western) backgrounds and can choose to wear whatever they want. Therefore, you either don’t claim freedom of expression or identity or you accept that this is a targeted law aimed at a minority group in the name of “secularism” and is no different than the Taliban mandating face-covering like somebody else stated in these discussions. This just happens to be on the other end of the spectrum.

LOL

Got em!

A common dress standard would be called a uniform. This law isn’t mandating uniforms, so you’re incorrect. It’s excluding religious groups, so yes, ostracizing.

Yeah, let’s ban garments because garments can be attributed to religion or fashion or culture or comfort or any or all combination of the above, in public spaces and alienate religious groups, let them homeschool their children, which may/may not breed more dogmatic/extremists views and then cry about immigrants screwing things up by not integrating just because setting up laws that separate religion and state weren’t enough. Laws can’t be enforced right? Like laws don’t discourage behaviors in a secular civil society right?

Genius moves there. I like the 5D chess this government is playing.

The people here do not represent what the world outside looks like and anonymity emboldens extreme views.

I mean, wasn’t this the same government that was gassing it’s own citizens not too long ago because they were protesting for their rights?

I’m not surprised they are passing an idiotic ban like this so kudos for being even shittier I guess?

It did and it was the last few lines of my comment.

“Equality means equality and we shouldn’t be selective about enforcing it. If a group of people are offended by something, grow the fuck up and stop doing it.”

The rest of the responses to my comment have been a combination of bad faith arguments and deflections, which is why it’s not worth responding especially when people have their minds made up.

If a group of people aren’t going to stop harassing another set of people just because they belong to a certain religion, it’s incumbent on a government to step in and pass legislation that prevents/discourages it. I’m not sure why this is confusing to literally any sane minded individual.

Clearly.

Or maybe you (and others here) need to re-read my response to understand what the point of it was. I understand what the person was saying, just don’t think bickering over how the Jewish people are a “multinational ethnic group” is relevant to the discussion.

Context and words must be hard for you. Sorry to heat that. Would you like a tissue or a shoulder to cry on?

Loud concerts are actual form of artistic expression yet there are laws in some cities that prevent loud music past 9/10pm.

Why? Because it bothers people and interferes with their lives. This is no different.

Also, I find it amusing that you think burning a book is an “artistic expression”. What’s next? Taking a shit is an artistic expression?

This isn’t about personal property. It’s about curbing and stopping acts that cause civil unrest.

Stop trying to guise this as some personal property/rights infringement non-sense.

The fact that people are arguing for it here just shows that some of these folks here don’t really believe in equal rights and a just society. If you’re religious and/or Muslim, and a law introduced to protect your sentiments, then it is “unfair”.
