I am proud of you watching Evening Joe on instagram. I don't necessarily agree with him on all things but I respect his right to say it.

Maybe you should learn tolerance sometime.

 

[John Price]

I'm tolerant enough to post Cavinders here even though they are a rival.

I am open minded. I'll take anyone's opinion even if they're from the other side.

I am nuanced. That said I can also detect BS especially when aired on that network. And he wasn't wrong. If you're telling one side of the story, and pretending the other side doesn't exist, what does that make you?

 

[John Price]

And again I don't agree with Evening Joe on everything. Evening Joe thinks we should arm everyone and shoot guns all around. I don't agree. But he has a right to say it on social media without the threats of being moved to Rumble / KICK.

I'm smart. I have a f***ing brain. And I can make decisions for myself. If someone says something I don't agree with that's fine.

"what about all the people you disappeared"

They disappeared because they were intentionally being obtuse and obnoxious. If your whole life is to annoy me you can get ignored REALLY fast. If I'm that much of a presence in your life that I live in your head "rent free" then you may need to seek psychiatric help. I'm serious.

I'm not that important. I'm just a lowly poster sitting at home every day.

There's no need to spend every minute of yinz life obsessing over me. I can take care of myself.

I'm old enough to remember when people didn't automatically discount the other side because of their views.

That's tolerance.

I love how you have these discussions with me without tagging me. I will admit he can be funny. THAT'S why I was going thru his tweets/posts. I am VERY tolerant. It would be nice if "the other side" practiced tolerance for a change too. As for what I PM'd you.......it aired on enough networks that anyone who wanted to watch was able. Those who did not want to watch were given a choice by Rache.

Because evangelicals are so famously open-minded.

I'm supposed to be tolerant of someone that claims gay marriage causes tornados? Give me a f***ing break.

As if it wasn't dead before then, civility definitely died when Obama got elected and half of the voting population revealed themselves to be hateful racists.

I have never disputed this. That's what frustrates me the most. You should be smart enough to realize that many times "the other side" is simply intolerable. Where I am the most liberal is on social issues and it kills me how intolerant they are when it comes to those. On other issues, I do have a very open mind.

As for the people you "disappeared", obviously I don't know what they said to cause it & you have every right to ignore anyone that drives you nuts, but by the same token you have told me how some very minor things irritate you, such as how football posters describe interceptions. Some things are just not getting irritated over.

Evening Joe has a lot of opinions that I don't agree with, especially on guns and transgender athletes

That said this is America and he still has the right to speak them

and you all as Americans also have a right to pretend he doesn't exist

Problem solved. Now let's eat lunch.

If problem solved means "Oh shit, I said some stupid shit that I can't defend, so I'll just act like the argument is over", then I agree.

Could TikTok ban bill criminalize VPN use? The EFF says it's not ...​

4 days agoThere is a chance the bill could lead to punishments of individual Americans for using a VPN or other technologies to access TikTok, the EFF said. "The bill authorizes the Department of Commerce ...

so stupid that naver blocked kbo streams (requiring vpn) and that npb won't f***ing stream at all (think pacific league is watchable through package and vpn)

i'm american, i just want to watch your shit in korea and japan. why is that all of a sudden haram?

we can't watch korean tv anymore? makes it so f***ing hard.

 

[John Price]

The Department of Commerce would have the authority to impose “mitigation measures” without any clear limitations on what those measures might entail. Additionally, the vague enforcement provision could be interpreted broadly to punish anyone who “evades” these undefined “mitigation measures,” potentially criminalizing practices such as using a VPN to access and installing apps from unofficial sources, or using an app that was lawfully downloaded from another country. In short, the bill’s language is too broad, which could have serious consequences for Americans’ digital rights and privacy.

Recently found vr viewing software on my pc but to be honest the point is kind of defeated if you use your mouse instead of your head.

So either I use my hand to move the camera or buy a 300 dollar oculus

Yeah I'll stop watching vr movies
