They’re most likely arguing in bad faith.
"Bad faith is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another. It is associated with hypocrisy, breach of contract, affectation, and lip service. It may involve intentional deceit of others, or self-deception. "
I always thought the term “Wumao” sounded suspiciosly like “woo Mao.”
Even this Chinese company, why do they care to clone it all? It’s already all hosted and publicly available.
Until it isn’t. Perhaps they are preparing for a future war with the US and assume their access to all that code will be blocked. They want to copy it now while they have access.
You can’t block open source projects from anyone.
I think they were referring to blocking GitHub from public access. In the event of a world war I could easily see Microsoft obeying the order to shut down GitHub.
It’s not about laws at this level but about whether it is worth to do vs possible repercussions
Again, what repercussions? Who will enforce an ICC judgement against the CCP? Laws aside, what possible actions could be taken? I guess sanctions but that’s unlikely over something like this.
they came to Jesus
Described every corporation ever incorporated.
Why are you wasting time talking about wasting time if it’s just wasting time?
I have seen that user repeatedly argue in bad faith. I assume they are doing something similar here. The wasting of time is the point. I think they’re just a troll.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted:
“Building support for Stein was one of a “roster of themes” the Moscow-sanctioned internet trolls “turned to repeatedly,” report says.”
Do you just not have a full grasp of biology or are you too busy getting in your head about some shit you made up?
Yes. Both are true about antivaxxers.
One (that we know of) is trans and she hates him.
He doesn’t have the best genes when it comes to hair loss. Have you ever seen what he looked like when he was younger; before he got the hair transplant?
It reaches through your monitor and slaps you.
I’m not the one who told corrected you earlier, but ket me reiterate…
You are incorrect in your assumption that our “country,” government, etc. censors our speech. Some people choose to self-censor and the government has nothing to do with that.
Also, you seem confused about what free speech (see: first amendment) actually means. This XKCD might help explain it to you.
You mean you actually read the article? Blasphemy!
They’re definitely going to wait until after the election to make that decision. If Trump wins they’ll say it’s allowed; if Biden wins they’ll say it’s not allowed.
You mean to say that child sex trafficking Matt Gaetz also pays for sex? I’m shocked!
Edit: typo
33%, but yeah. Both are true.
66% of eligible are voting, 33% of eligible are not voting. Of the 66% that did vote, half of those (I used 49%) voted for Trump. Half of the 66% is 33%.
So, of the eligible voters, 33% voted Biden, 33% voted Trump, and 33% didn’t vote.
Or, if you want math:
.66 * .49 = .32 or 32%
Edit: I misunderstood the question and gave an off-topic answer. Someone else commented the correct reason: not all Americans are eligible to vote. Children, felons in certain States, etc. Since they didn’t/can’t vote they’re not counted in the “half of America” statistic often quoted.
Half of eligible voters voted for trump, which is about 32% of America in 2020.
I’m not. He deserves the isolation.
