- Maybe people wouldn't see facism in local police departments if there wasn't facism in the local police departments.
"Police Chief Pat Flannelly said Officer Joseph Zacharek, hired in June, was called into the police station Friday night after claims started showing up on social media that he was linked to Iron March, a neo-Nazi forum disbanded in 2017 but that had its database exposed on the internet in late 2019."
Yay that he was fired, but how many haven't?
- "I know people at a baptist church that many people would accuse of being “fascist” because of their religion who do all three of those things you say"
The Nazis weren't totally against charitable works. They were against charitable works that benefitted "inferior" humans.
- "All you have done is justify their action"
No, not at all.
- "Treatment" involves a number of different options, of varying permanence. It isn't "Okay, surgery scheduled for Tuesday" at every patient's first consulation.
I wouldn't be surprised if for most girls, treatment starts with wearing a binder, which is clothing.
- They're useful as a second piece of evidence if, like me, you did poorly at classwork because of undiagnosed ADHD.
- The breadth of topics of WW2 field manuals and technical manuals is staggering. One of the manuals is essentially a list of other manuals, and there are a lot of them.
At least one manual has a reading level similar to "See Jane run", because of course they'd have had some soldiers being drafted who read at that level.
- Police do get fired, but the city is often forced to rehire them, because of the unions and the arrangements they've had put into law.

A cop can be fired for sexually assaulting a teenager in his squad car, and end up getting rehired by the same department.
- I'm sure the App Store, code signing, and bad dev docs will find a way to retain the lead.
- Another committee is sure to fix the problem with the existing committees.
- There will never be a real secondary market for NFTs.
How are people going to re-sell an NFT when its metadata points to a file that 404s.
- "Smart contracts are precise, and they require the entire population of coin users to disagree with the computed outcome."
Lol every month or so some smart contract bug gets exploited and coins get stolen.
- Why not get an account at a US bank with a presence in Japan?
- What if the tenant offers the enforcer ownership of the landlord's home if the enforcer evicts the landlord instead?
- " In countries where government agents are installed through corruption and paid in bribes"
And somehow this won't also end up artificially boosting the "reputation" of potential arbitrators?
(Or perhaps the government will make it clear that anyone who acts as an arbitrator without government authorization will spend a long time in a small cell.)
- "They are going to make government, lawyer and bank services a lot less necessary."
Except when a third party finds bugs in the smart contract code and diverts the rent payments to themselves.
- More legitimate than mining coins that'll be put in a wallet that ends up in a landfill.
- Sure, but in that respect Bitcoin has been redundant for years.
- If you spend the money to put up panels to fund your mining, you'll probably never make a profit from the mining.
- Except everything people do with Bitcoin could be done just as well with a less obscenely wasteful coin.
- "Here's a paper whose coauthors belong to the Bitcoin team discussing efficient confidential transactions that were eventually implemented in Monero (not by the Bitcoin team)."
The knowledge held by the Bitcoin team wouldn't disappear if Bitcoin was shut down. They could still contribute to other crypto projects.
- Er, no it wouldn't?
You don't need Bitcoin around to do that.
- Do destroy Bitcoin, to incent people to move to more efficient alternatives.
Bitcoin should have died a decade ago.
- "What the author suggests would be similar to saying,"
No, because driving has a legitimate purpose.
- Doesn't sound like it's worth torching the only inhabitable planet for.
- "Calling out the BTC network on its energetic inefficiency completely misses the point that the work put into the network is exactly the scarce digital asset, and hence the store of value."
That's no excuse for the obscene waste of resources.
- Also use of an illegal substance can lead to legal consequences that can harm one's employability for years afterward.
So if pot weren't illegal in Australia during the period being examined, perhaps their life outcomes would have been better?
- There's a datasheet that covers it.

- That doesn't make him a feminist icon.
"Texas mall shooting: gunman expressed interest in neo-Nazi views – report"
Or the guy who shot up a dollar store
Or "Neo-Nazi Marine Plotted Mass Murder, Rape Campaigns with Group, Feds Say While tasked with protecting the nation, Matthew Belanger was plotting a killing spree against minorities and to rape “white women to increase the production of white children,” according to federal prosecutors"
Weird that you apparently feel compelled to downplay the threat.
