While you're correct that laws are created by the legislature the judiciary is where they are judged to be just. At least in systems based on English common law. Look up jury nullification for more info. Also, prosecutorial discretion is a thing. Basically if any law isn't enforced either through jury nullification and/or prosecutorial discretion then it is vestigial and should be amended or repealed.

Sweet! Although I do wish they could expand the access, at least give read-write access even if it is only for that session.

For personal things, computer, phones, etc. Big corpos cover this by a EULA. EULAs also covers forums controlled by the companies. For public places like websites, you can control search engines by using a robot.txt file.

I think calling conservatives "dumb" is needlessly inflammatory, and what's worse, is it's incorrect. They just fall for a common human failing: confirmation bias, amongst other well known fallacies.

I don't tend to rely as much on Valve's compatibility rating as I do ProtonDB's. Even though it takes extra steps.

I looked at it and despaired how intertwined Israel is in the global economy. A full boycott will be a real sacrifice. You'd be surprised how wide ranging their influence is.

The real question is do we have enough access to cheap green tech? A further, more probing question is: what are we willing to sacrifice to get it? Potential things on the chopping block:

  • sovereignty
  • worker rights
  • national security
  • a resilient economy

As to the last one, as the recent pandemic showed, consolidating manufacturing to one country/area can make the global economy quite fragile to economic, environmental, societal and political shocks.

Conservatives: "Hey want to hear a joke?" Transphobia

Followed by hur hur hur.

As Mr. Miyagi would say:

"Walk On Road, Hmmm? Walk Left Side, Safe. Walk Right Side, Safe. Walk Middle, Sooner Or Later... Get Squish Just Like Grape!"

Or, how about Yoda:

"Do or do not. There is no try”

What I'm saying either Linux rules the roost or Windows does. The "roost" in this example is your hard drive.
