That's how you turn a date into a relationship.

Ah, now I will admit to there having been a potential nuance. I certainly would want a trial before an execution, for instance. But I also think it would be wrong to assume these scientists were completely morally innocent. Maybe I could be persuaded from my earlier opinion of "You always shoot a Nazi" but there needs to be something to show. A diary entry saying "I'm not sure about this Hitler fella." Something.

To be frank, it would be hard to siphon out truth from fiction at this point from personal accounts. That said, of course I distinguish between a forced Nazi accomplice and a sympathizer. I am not suggesting that they should be treated the same. I am suggesting that the U.S. was so zealous in its efforts to defeat the Russians that it wasn't making distinctions.

I apologize if I'm misreading. Are you suggesting that it would be wrong to shoot a Nazi?

Promising a deal that includes citizenship, a house, a salary, and an administrative position to a Nazi scientist in exchange for their work and knowledge such that one's country can gain ground in a cold war is absolutely fine. It's absolutely totally fine.

Following through with the deal after getting the goods from the Nazi is not. Shoot the Nazi. You always shoot the Nazi.

Good call. Gotta keep them in sight.

Obviously Apples claim is complete bullshit but damn ya gotta feel a little for Microsoft tho, right? Like they've been trying to capture the search engine market with Bing for so long and only after being crushed by Google, they're being accused of succeeding 😂.

I mean, intent matters a little at least, right? Like, I prefer to use the term progressive when describing myself and I found this meme to be a firm chuckle and not problematic. It's saying that the logic used by things like CRT is thematically identical to logic used in biblical texts, which many on the right would actually oppose politically and ideologically.

So like, if the intent was to reframe CRT in a biblical light so as to show ethical inconsistency on the part of Republicans, and it works on a logical and a humourous level, what exactly is the problem?

So not shadow banning so much as putting feeds thru a kaleidoscope 😂

My best guess is simply that it's Labor Day weekend. People party a decent bit over it. And when people party, there's a chance for cops to make some money, I mean arrests for dangerous dangerous crimes against society.

Wait, we don't own our property airspace? So then, and I'm not being facetious, the entire plot of the 2010 film Burlesque is complete bullshit?

I figured a drone over a prison was a no and I was just being humorous but the citizen's lack of property airspace sucks. I get it for like a mile above your house because of planes, but drone height? That's stupid.

What if the drone touches the ground or a surface that connects to the ground like a rooftop? Is it fair game then?

So this means I'm allowed to fly my drone over prison yards then, right?

Edit: Also, doesn't that then make it legal for folks to capture the drones? It's on their property.
