If you were in Thailand or China and you posted what you did, you're even more of a moron than I thought.
I reject your false framing. You're conflating society and the government in your question.
To answer the question I'm pretending you meant to ask: No, The government should not have the requisite monopoly of violence necessary to enforce speech laws. It is a human right. Any sanction should be exclusively received from society.
Except you can and projecting your beliefs onto others is the literal definition of society. You can't not project your beliefs onto others
We are not bystanders. All societies are negotiated both within them between members and between members and observers outside. The idea that anyone should forgo their opinion on another culture is naive and asinine. You're asking for all social exchange to stop in order to preserve an arbitrary set of rules in amber. The system you want to uphold as precious is both not real, and not valuable enough to justify the cost
Oh also, free speech is an inalienable right. In fact I'd go so far as to say learning it's inalienable is how you learned the word inalienable. Free speech is a human right. Anyone anywhere who is limiting it is commiting a crime against humanity. The opinion of the people in charge doesn't change that. That's literally how inalienable rights work. So, no fucking clue what you were on about there
Also also, if you were Canadian, what trouble could you possibly get in being critical of Thailand? You're either an insane coward or a liar for that one
Not being invested enough to engage isn't pathetic, it's the normal response. It's not pathetic to not be chronically online my dude
I don't doubt op has a stalker, but not commenting everywhere isn't what makes them pathetic. It's all the times when the stalker is engaging that are pathetic, not the times when they aren't
Should or shouldn't doesn't matter. The majority wants an account that doesn't require external verification.
Ignore the fact that that's not truly possible. People will go to whatever platform makes them feel it's true the best.
Being capable of effectively convincing people your platform will provide this is a baseline requirement to even start having this discussion. The anonymous Internet isn't something most people want
We have these in Lansing MI too! Part of the Satanic Panic back in the 80s involved kids playing D&D down in parts of the steam tunnels under MSU, which, I'm told, is much harder to do now ~~unfortunately~~ very fortunately since children don't know how to look out for a superheated steam leak and it was only a matter of time before a child got fucking bisected
Ftfy
Yeah... Because China is big into encryption
but that wasn't his last reply
"free" when you find it on the side of the road, but expensive to actually maintain without having it die on you.
The download is free, but pay for it or it's going to die.
Lol. No. The EU tariffs haven't even hit yet. They actually go into effect next week. The only way this is the time to buy is if you think trump is going to back down. He isn't. He's an egomaniac gambling with someone else's money. This is going to get a lot worse before anything recovers
And by 2027 it might even function!
Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like "/s" that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they're needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?
See, you have people like you all over saying "Linux just works" and then you have other users here saying "I have to spend an hour fixing my computer running one of the most user friendly distros every single time the power goes out". I don't know who to believe but both cannot be true simultaneously so which is it?
