This is in the UK.
Not the US.
In a well functioning society, that would be called the government.
Same.
As I recall, everyone assumed male when it started trying to pass as human.
If anything the costume makes it look too human. I imagined clearly robot, accept for the head.
Wait. What?
Is that why some people downvoted?
Would you be willing to explain how pointing out the actual order is fascist?
To me it's just what the news is supposed to do. But didn't. For reasons.
I never said anything sporting or defending it. The closest I got was saying, it probably won't matter much to anything. Which as far as I can tell is true. If you can explain how that's wrong I'd love to hear that also.
Yes.
Op isn't expecting an all or nothing. I'm suggesting they should expect nothing. All isn't even worth talking about.
And yes.
I've never deleted anything online. Never had a reason to. If I ever imagined a reason I'd want to delete something, I wouldn't post it to begin with. Because I know I can't delete it. See how that works. So what if I was wrong, or embarrassing, that's part of being human, own you're mistakes and move on. Don't hide them. They are who you were. They are how you got where you are. They're responsible for who you've become. Take pride in the failings of your past.
All quislings are traitors.
Not all traitors are quislings.
The difference is, being in service to an occupying force.
I don't really disagree with any of that. And I don't see how it suggests anything I wrote was wrong.
Unless you're suggesting conscientious objector stuff, replace my idea of whistleblower stuff. To which I can say... Sure? I guess? I'm not a lawyer. I don't know enough about the details to know the difference.
Yah. I'm torn. On the one hand it's kind of stupid and pointless to change the names of things. On the other hand If your changing the name, Gulf of America is probably the best option. The real point of doing it is to give the media something marketable to talk about instead of the more boringly important things going on. Which for the second time tonight, gets me dangerously close to a long rant about the shitty media we have.
The current delete function states:
"Warning: this will permanently delete your account. The deletion may not always federate to other instances."
The first part, I'm almost certain isn't actually true.
The second part basically confirms what you're asking for.
Yah. That could be stated explicitly on signup.
But to sum up what I said in other comments here; Not being able to delete things, is like the Internet's version of gravity. Be glad it works, and don't waste effort fighting it.
In practical terms yes.
Technically, if someone thinks something their told to do is illegal, they can refuse to do it, and go to court over it. I don't know the details really. I'd guess it's something mostly along the lines of whistleblower stuff. Which almost never works out for the whistleblower. So yah. This order likely won't have any practical effect. But it can be twisted into great headline. I'm going to stop there, before I get into a big rant about how stupid and lazy most news media is, and why.
Stop giving them Ideas
