I'm not really a fan of my king, the queen before him was far more likeable.

Pithy remarks aside, I don't see how the far left can be blamed for Harris losing given the pretty sizable margin by which she lost. And why would leftists be motivated to vote for a party that not only doesn't offer them anything in terms of policy, but actively courts so called 'moderate' Republicans?

So is it that leftists are too small a group to be worth making political concessions to, or are they a large enough group to have an effect on elections?

Why do Democrats feel entitled to the support of the left when they don't offer anything to the left?

But can you wreck a conversation like a group of Kirovs?

As a bisexual British person I absolutely support the idea of returning queer to it's classic meaning. There's also the option of just using both meanings. Context will establish which one you mean.

The Republicans are a right queer bunch, unlike my fellow queers in the LGBTQ+ community.

Fair points. I was mostly thinking of situations like downloading using a separate device, writing to a usb drive or SD card and installing via that. Downloading an installer and using it is just downloading without using an app store.

I've always took side-loading to mean installing from local storage, as opposed to downloading from remote storage. As far as I'm concerned downloading from a third party app store should not be treated as side-loading.

As opposed to your stance which is fuck people who don't want to have their language massively rewritten. I think it's far more reasonable to make individual accomodations for the non-binary folks that we interact with and accept that language has limitations and can't be changed overnight.

It kind of is actually. Throwing a milkshake isn't likely to cause much harm, and would probably result in an assault charge. Throwing acid can cause serious disfigurement and possibly death, and a far more serious charge.

You can condemn her actions without the hyperbole. This happened before and it didn't result in a wave of acid attacks and I've no reason to think this time will be different.

Do you know that he didn't take a gun safety course? For all we know, he could have had plenty of knowledge on how to safely handle a firearm and simply decided to ignore it for the sake of looking cool. The fact is that no amount of safety training can stop someone who decides to do something stupid.

I absolutely agree with your last point though. There should be extensive training in how to handle a firearm safely required before someone can buy a gun.

I'm pretty sure internet means internetwork, as in between networks. There's also intranets, which are limited access web networks.

You are right that geoblocking really shouldn't be a thing, it's existence is thanks to varying laws and regulations, and most annoyingly, IP distribution contracts.

Actually Hammas is spread by contact. If you touched someone who lived next door to someone who's family dog was given to them by someone who had a family member join Hamas, then you become Hamas too.

The only way to innoculate yourself against this pathogen is by loudly and vigorously condemning Hamas for at least two minutes a day.

It should however be noted that condemning Hamas, and having absolutely no affiliation with any of their members provides no protection against Israeli forces mistaking you for a Hamas fighter and subsequently shooting/bombing/starving you to death.
