Who says that?

Oh…goodie.

The /j was to signify its kind of a joke. We’ve established /s for sarcasm, but we need a joke identifier.

Too brown. /j

Ignoring your insults towards me, I ask you this question:

Was the fertilizer company responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing because their product was used in a way it wasn’t intended for? After the tragedy, improved monitoring systems were created to track people who were buying industrial amounts of fertilizer without a clear need for using it in agriculture, but before the bombing, they did not think it would be used in that way and there were no safeguards in place.

In my opinion, that’s where we are with U-Haul. Their product has been used in a terrible way that it wasn’t designed for—what they do next will be the thing I judge them for.

I get why you’re outraged, but I don’t think your assumption that the other poster is shilling for u-haul is well founded. As far as I know (from the last time I rented a U-Haul years before this administration), they don’t ask you what you intend to use it for. It is a tool with an obvious purpose—moving your stuff from one location to another.

They also make you sign paperwork saying that people will not ride in the back, so they had reasonable safety in mind within the intended purpose of the unit and the anticipated risk factors within that use case.

It is a good point that they should probably change their policies to log the intended use now that they know their trucks have been used in this way, but it isn’t reasonable to think that they should have anticipated that their moving trucks would have been used by ICE before it happened.

He could.

It’s similar to fear factor—you can authorize quite a lot of things in a contract.

The medical examiner has said that they don’t think his death was caused directly by the treatment during the stream.

Why do bands need to voice a strong opinion on international politics?

I’ve totally lost track of what this post is about because I’m just looking at the 8000 mod removed comments by SlackShaolin.

Fair enough. Like I said, I’m not a Nietzsche expert, I just had never interpreted his writings in a primarily political context, and I had read a decent amount of commentary from people who did claim to be experts that refuted the idea of him having fascist or anti-Semitic leanings.

How is this different than the criticism that leftists on Lemmy espouse against modern liberalism?

I have read several of his works, and they never struck me as inherently political—more like a commentary on observable sociological structures. I may just not be clever enough to absorb everything, but I had originally interpreted his work as observational rather than prescriptive.

I am no Nietzsche expert, but I had always heard that a relative in charge of his estate, who was a fascist, took advantage of him in his old age after his brain had been diminished by syphilis. He wasn’t a liberal or leftist by modern standards, but he also didn’t seem to be a fascist or anti-Semite.

Here is an article that seems to support this view:

You are risking the other services you host on that VPS if you get a copyright complaint. It’s up to you, but considering VPN’s can be obtained for around $2 per month, I would imagine that the extra cost is lower than the liability.

I don’t think you’ll get hate for being a leftist on Lemmy.

But…why? It would probably be cheaper and easier to just run your torrent client through a basic VPN, or pay for a seedbox.
