The HVAC technician never arrived yesterday. This morning when we tried to turn the AC back on to see if there was any chance that it might have fixed itself, it would not turn on even to blow warm air anymore.
 
How can a freeze peach supporter not support the right of people to say that the show should be pulled off?

You can say it all you want. What you shouldn't have is the power to actually make it happen. Remember: your rights end where another person's rights begin.
 
If I were to support any further amendments to the Constitution, it would be one that greatly expands 1st Amendment rights to protect people from having their livelihoods threatened because they expressed an opinion. Basically I would change the right to free speech to also guarantee the right to a platform for that speech as well.
So you'd guarantee that anyone calling for genocide of (fill in the undesired demographic) should be able to do so, no matter what? :hmm:

Thanks, we'll keep our hate speech laws.
 
I mean the power of speech derives from itself. It is the very means by which ideas spread and are expressed, that is its power.

To remove the power of speech you would have to restrict speech. Similarly, the right to say what you want is not the right to be immune from backlash.
 
Very small rant: GOG has no option to sort games by price.
 
But Steam is annoying!
 
And not DRM-free!
 
Yeah, GOG for the win.
 
Except that you can't sort by price!
 
It's worth the inconvenience. ;)
 
Thread subtitle: Gori says, "No"!
 
It's weird. I don't mind DRM on games except when it's so poorly-constructed that it prevents you from legitimately playing the game. OTOH on video and music files DRM is totally unacceptable to me.
 
But if I have a choice between getting a game with DRM on Steam or the same game without DRM on GOG I'm going with GOG.

That's entirely my policy too.
