You just want to absolve yourself of that moral responsibility.

That's exactly what you are doing. You're focusing on this one issue, retreating yourself from the binary decision because neither options stands for what you (or I, or morality) would prefer. Completely ignoring that withdrawing from the choice plays into the hand of the infinitely worse candidate. So by not choosing, you do nothing to stop the situation in Gaza, but might actually make things a lot worse for people all over.

You can virtue signal that you did not compromise on your believes, while actually helping your country make a worse place.

Would this not be considered as "providing comfort to insurrectionists", as described in the 14th amendment. Even just promising pardoning them.

So even if they argue he supposedly wasn't involved in it, it would still disqualify him from office.

He said that he would have dreams of drops of blood (a symbol of his village deity, the goddess Namagiri Thayar), followed by complex mathematical equations. Even with the help of his formally-trained friend GH Hardy, he was only able to prove a small fraction of his insights.

Now if she'd just leave the personal jet in it's hangar.

Definitely not a fan of elites flying in their private jets to whatever luxury location.

But can you imagine Taylor Swift flying in a public airplane? She'd be harassed endlessly, even in first class.

Some people are just too well known, unfortunately.

Anyone burning down schools to "protect the children" should take a very hard look at themselves. I hope they catch the people responsible quickly.

I do fear that this will cause some more islamophobia here (and we already have plenty). The problem isn't religion per se, it's misinformation. People believe that this program would cause teachers to teach kids how to masturbate, which is obviously ridiculous.

Unfortunately, fake news is more common in certain groups. One of those groups is muslims. It's the same reason why vaccination rates are much lower among them.

It's a problem that runs very deeply and is a consequence of a failed integration approach.

Didn't this [homophobic slur] have classified material in his house that he wasn't authorized to have in his possession?

Somehow this quote is referring to Pence, not Trump...

Any proof you can offer on this, except for your hunch?

I just googled "trans protection laws by biden" and got quite some hits explaining what he did so far, including revoking some of Trump's anti-trans laws.

Not sure what you're referring to with the 33 states, but it seems to imply an issue where the federal government has no say in.

Could he be doing more for trans rights, and LGBTQ rights in general? For sure. But perfect is the enemy of the good. Especially considering what another Trump presidency would mean.

Exactly. Some of the best subreddits were so great because they had heavy moderation.

Probably the best example of this is askhistorians. Made a comment that was on topic but had no sources? Removed! With a clear (and public) comment of why it was removed. It was clearly stated in their rules that this was required, so it was absolutely justified.

We have no idea what these comments were and whether they were in violation of the sub's rules.

Let's shit on reddit for the actual things that are going wrong. This seems more like getting outraged over a picture of your ex with another guy/girl/whatever gender their interested in in the background.

Reddit is among the most popular social media worldwide, with an estimated 55.79 million daily active users and 1.660 billion monthly active users in 2023.

Yeah, a drop in the bucket. Even considering lurkers and bots.

But that's okay. The goal is to have a nice, active enough community outside of reddit. Reddit can keep on existing. I would argue not having everyone move here, or somewhere else, is good to keep the interaction healthy. Let alone the software and servers that couldn't handle it.

The Department of Culture of the City Council of Bezana directed by vox with the approval of the mayor Carmen Perez Tejedor (PP), has decided censor the screening of the film ‘Lightyear’ at the local summer cinema for the scene in which they appear two women kissing.

According to ‘eldiario.es’, the council has decided to replace it with ‘Bad Guys’, reprinting all the municipal posters and changing one film for the other. The decision has raised many criticisms on social networks, including that of Adriana Lastra, who describes the PP as “a danger to freedom.”

This decision comes in a week in which Vox has intensified its crusade against the LGTBI flag, with Juan Garcia-Gallardo, vice president of the Junta de Castilla y León, calling her a “rag”. We have also seen how in town halls such as Mérida, the ultra-right wants to remove that flag, hiding behind “what the Supreme Court says”, a false premise.

As the journalist Alfonso Pérez Medina explains, the Administrative Litigation Chamber ruled in 2020 on the so-called Canarian national flag, establishing that an unofficial flag cannot be placed next to the official flags, but leaving the door open for them to be placed anywhere else on the façade.

The truth is that it is not the first controversy surrounding this film, which It was banned at its premiere in 14 countries. from the Middle East and Asia for that same kiss. In the case of the Office of Media Regulation of the Ministry of Culture and Youth of the United Arab Emirates, they hide behind the fact that Disney had not allowed them to cut parts of their film.

There were also Latin American cinemas that warned that this film contained “gender ideology”. The ‘Washington Post’ came to collect that some Disney executives asked Pixar to remove the scene, something to which the company refused. “We’ve had the full backing of the studio,” said Angus MacLane, the film’s director.
