So I watched most of this, and I don't get it. It seems that the TL;DR is that a legal firm working for Apple asked him to take down a video because it had a single page of a technical manual. He said he would only if they submitted a DMCA claim. They didn't, so it's still up.

And?

That's a logical fallacy. If someone posits a theory without any evidence whatsoever (i.e., god), it's perfectly reasonable to deny the claim.

Until you've argued that black is white, the sun rises in the west, that we've always been at war with Eastasia, and are perfectly willing to fuck over most of the world for your own self-aggrandizement, you have come nowhere near to sinking to Trump's level.

SHS was politely asked to leave a restaurant because of her role as a willing and eager mouthpiece for policies that physically and emotionally have hurt (at a minimum) thousands of people. That we're equating that with something like gay people being refused service because of who they are says a lot about how skewed our perception of balance is.

People making the civility argument in good faith (i.e., not Fox talking heads) are making it because they actually have a moral compass and know that two wrongs don't make a right.

However, what was done to SHS isn't a wrong--no harm was done to her other than embarrassment, which is exactly what she should be feeling about her role in the world. When people are being terrible, whether it's a child, the president, or one of his enablers, they need to be told politely but firmly that it's not OK.

Think of this less as pouring gasoline on a fire and more like a controlled burn to help control the blaze.

I think I'll hook a hose up from my exhaust to my gas tank. Simple, no?

I wish there were some way I could buy one of his paintings directly.

It's funny, but I always sort of assumed the manager / ump screaming matches were just a kind of pro-forma show, like one of the unwritten rules of baseball.

This argument wasn't at all like I was expecting.

The bit about the sunglasses was very surprising. Looks like my plan to avoid facial recognition needs some rework :-)

That comment is unbearable.

Fuck you, Bob.

What was important in this video was seeing someone doing some hard thinking, and making a decision that goes against a big part of his identity because he decided it was the right thing to do.

That's such a hard thing for a person to do, and it happens really rarely. I just watched someone change themselves for the better, and the first comment is a dipshit mocking him.

Looks like Feb of 2017, and the lawsuit in late November?

I thought it looked pretty old too.

From the article ant linked to:

Larsen [the 75 year-old boat driver], a Roseburg resident, told The Oregonian/OregonLive by phone Friday that he wasn’t using his cellphone while driving his Bayliner and referred to such allegations as “fake news.” Larsen also said a lawsuit seemed unnecessary because the people in the Weldcraft weren’t hurt badly.

A fucking moron and a bigot.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you . . . Today's GOP!
