Which staff specifically? (the cashiers, etc) Although it's bad in all cases.

Don't confuse people "who dared ask, "why are we doing this?"" with people who want reparations, affirmative action, etc. And that's just a second definition I've thrown out there, alongside yours, when th

That definition of hate is a very recent construct, and trying to sweep the regular meaning under the rug makes you the disingenuous one.

Well, online recreation is as real as online discussion. There's people on the other end etc. On the other hand, if a kid spoils a game in a real-world playground, we don't give criminal records for that. On the other other hand,

Do we need digital signing on every image/video in the news?

Agreed that any special divergence between types of crimes is wrong. But I can get behind the use of judge discretion.

Fair enough, although I'm entitled to interpret posts in the pure context of their parent.

It's all about whether you've played the game. I can watch the movie knowing/accepting what the plot is (there's a tournament, people have to fight - just sit back and watch shit go down) and the characters (there's

Not sure why this is downvoted. If you don't have a videogame source material it's not going to have whatever problems a videogame movie has.

It feels like a decade ago now, that FB and Google had data deletion buttons that were protected by how bad the interface was to find them.

I feel for you, out of curiosity did you create your profiles and sites purely to displace the bad results or did you also try to engineer your content to refute them?

In the former example you have so much power that whatever cause you had to denigrate them no longer matters to you, but that is neither the common case nor principled.

In other words, you're blind as to whether denigration is justified.

You ultimately have to want the skill. The gp would have noticed his skill gradually waning, not suddenly when it had gone, yet as a kid he didn't care for it.

This is hilarious. When whataboutism is convenient to the self-righteous, what then exists is "reverse whataboutism".

Regarding doctored images, I had a sense of dread (way back when the internet was new) that the world would soon advance to being able to doctor videos. I thought ingenuity and advancement were limitless, the rest is just writing bytes to f
