Gene Simmons is full of shit. It is very easy to support "nice" free speech. Everyone is willing to support "nice". It is the "not nice" and what you consider "hateful" and "wrong" that needs the protection.

The poster reveres someone who says, about using a nuclear weapon: "We will all go to heaven and they will all die like dogs" and he dares to say something about mental disorders.

The ICBM did. But I wrote the post explaining why the nuclear weapons that Russia has are way past expiration date and may not work.

Depends on your feed. Most feeds provide a timestamp on the tick, sometimes with a precision of 1/1000th of a second, with the timestamp coming from the exchange. If your feed is like that, sync your time as much as you can with a known precise time source, then compare the timestamp of the...

As you well know, "provoking" Russia to Putin apparently means fighting back when he invades. So yes, there is no choice but to "provoke". Since Russia has a pretty good idea, I am sure, of the lack of reliability of their nuclear weapons, it is an enormous risk for them to try to even use a...

You have to look at it from the other side as well. Can you imagine what would happen if Russians deployed a nuke, even a small tactical one, and it was a dud?

I liked Elon before. Now I love the guy. "I want to say one thing:@elonmusk's Starlink is what changed the war in #Ukraine's favour. #Russia went out of its way to blow up all our comms. Now they can't. Starlink works under Katyusha fire, under artillery fire. It even works in Mariupol."

... because apartheid was about freedom of speech. And electric cars. Of course.

Russia has an enormous inferiority complex. Going back centuries. From Peter the Great's time to our days. I grew up there, I know it well. It is pathological.

Here are some Russian war stories for you Pu. Enjoy: https://leon-spb67.livejournal.com/1457295.html

Unbelievable. Russia is descending to the worst Stalin/Hitler behavior. https://www.sobranie.info/newsinfo.php?UID=69969 This "law" will allow - and I quote - "expropriating" the foodstuffs/harvests from Ukraine to feed Russians.

A bit of desperation there, Pu...

From Musk: By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people. As I said...

The panic is something else.

Musk is making the right noises. Will he follow up that's the question.

I am in TX. My electricity is $0.09/kwh. For the next 2 years at least.

When you prohibit something, you make it a "forbidden fruit". It raises interest to the forbidden matter. It is counterproductive. It may "work" short term. Long term it definitely won't. As evidenced by continuing Trump popularity in spite of all the efforts by Twitter, Facebook and the...

It already has been reported that any ship - tankers included - that is insured by London Marine Insurers Market - (which is basically all of them) will have to pay 3% to 5% extra premium if they enter Russian territorial waters. That's 3% to 5% of the cost of the ship itself and the cargo.
