Did an oopsie! It’s okay though nothing a good ol’ confession to Jesus won’t get him out of

A California church deacon allegedly sexually abused numerous boys on religious mission trips under the guise of inspecting their genitals for “concerning” moles—helping protect the children, he told them, from the ravages of skin cancer.

But beware of drag queens folks

how conservatives can/will try to explain their reasoning

get owned, libs

From the bill

Texas cities have passed burdensome local ordinances, creating a patchwork regulations across the state. These policies are better left to the employer, and if necessary, the state and federal government. Uniformity and consistent policy gives employers and employees greater clarity and flexibility.

It’s a move aiming to centralize control of the state.

the purpose of this Act is to provide regulatory consistency across this state and return the historic exclusive regulatory powers to the state where those powers belong.

Fair enough

I’m aware. I was hoping people would understand sarcasm without an explicit /s but sigh

Workers’ rights? Literal communism! Go back to China

What a bad take. You expect employers to stop exploiting their staff by underpaying them? Un-American

Edited my reply to reflect that. My point is that “random” and “no motive” are compatible, “terrorism” and “no motive” are not. And random does not mean terrorism.

It would be terrorism if this was done for some ideological motive. So far it seems like the shooter had no motive and just randomly decided to kill some people today.

Edit: So far it seems like

Would it?

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni signed one of the world’s toughest anti-LGBTQ laws, including the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality”, drawing Western condemnation and risking sanctions from aid donors.

It stipulates capital punishment for “serial offenders” against the law and transmission of a terminal illness like HIV/AIDS through gay sex. It also decrees a 20-year sentence for “promoting” homosexuality.

In Africa, same-sex relations are now punishable by death in 4 countries (Nigeria, Somalia, Mauritania and Uganda), imprisonment of 10 years to life in 8 countries, and imprisonment of less than 10 years/other penalties in 20 countries. Somalia’s penal code mandates a prison sentence of up to 3 years, but the death penalty may be imposed under sharia law. Similarly, the Nigerian penal code mandates a 14-year jail sentence, but the death penalty may be applied in the 12 northern states under sharia. (Source)

digital news intermediary means an online communications platform, including a search engine or social media service

news content is made available if access to the news content, or any portion of it, is facilitated by any means, including an index, aggregation or ranking of news content

These points seem to indicate a website like kbin would fall under this act, being a content aggregator and social media service.

At the same time,

This Act applies in respect of a digital news intermediary if, having regard to the following factors, there is a significant bargaining power imbalance between its operator and news businesses:

• the size of the intermediary or the operator
• whether the market for the intermediary gives the operator a strategic advantage over news businesses
• whether the intermediary occupies a prominent market position.

Since kbin is small and not in any market position, this shouldn’t apply.
