Yes. Markup-Languages are a subset of Programming-Languages. Turing completness doesn’t matter as things like magic the gathering and habbo hotel are Turing complete
‘This markup language isn’t even as capable as Habbo Hotel, but it counts anyway because I just called it a programming language.’
There is a literal hierarchy of syntaxes which are recognized by different categories of machine. Programs require a Turing machine. Anything lesser - in a subset like pushdown automata or finite-state machines - doesn’t need a proper computer. So it’s not a program.
Black people already know that your rights are whatever the cop decides they are, and they’re probably not going to be deciding in your favour. They learn that if they don’t antagonize the cop, they might get close to the rights they should actually have.
These morons think that they can get away with antagonizing cops and demanding that the cops respect some secret set of rights that the cops have most likely never heard of.
I understand where this impulse comes from. If you’re not very smart, the things happening in court must seem like magic. Lawyers cite obscure precedents. There are rules about evidence. You can take the fifth and suddenly the lawyers have no power to make you talk. People with good lawyers get away with things when their crimes seem obvious. So, while you don’t understand any of this, there are people online who tell you the cheat codes you need to use in court. And, it’s not like it gets you out of real crimes, it just means that they have to give you the rights that you think you should have anyhow.
What’s interesting is that this must never work. Like, I can’t imagine a Sovereign Citizen ever getting away with anything using these “cheat codes”. But, somehow, that information doesn’t seem to be making it back to these groups. You’d think that after years of this with a 0% success rate, the movement would eventually start fading.
Actually there’s a whole subgroup of sovereign citizens who are black, usually associated with the Moorish Science Temple. Three of the Facebook groups I’m in are run by black people. Here is a good article: www.splcenter.org/…/moorish-sovereign-citizens.
It can seem to work though. My brother-in-law tells stories about seeing his friends get out of tickets with their hand written IDs. To me those stories sound like cops stopping a car full of drunken probably armed rednecks in the middle of nowhere - cops who just want to go home alive.
Yeah, I’m sure there’s a lazy cop factor. But, if it actually makes it to a court, I think there’s a limit on how far it will go. I’m sure sometimes a judge will just give up because it’s not worth the hassle for something that’s a small dollar fine. But, other times the judge will probably get mad and throw the book at them for wasting his/her time.
The Ukraine comparison was a little gross. But, the US is staring down the barrel of an out right, hitler-worshiping, fascist regime. Lives and rights have already been lost, and I for one don’t want to be here when they start putting people in camps.
Definitely not the same as having Russia invade your country and murder your family, but don’t act like a lot of lives (in and outside of the US) aren’t hanging in the balance here.
Not sure why a for profit corporation would limit its market to a specific, politically oriented, demographic. Especially when that corporations product is body hair removal - a process very much detached from all political and most social discourse.
They probably decided that support among the “anti-woke” MAGA folks will outweigh the backlash of everyone else. Just trying to find a way to position on the market.
Though history shows this kind of stuff normally fails, with target audience quickly forgetting the move and the rest not giving a damn.
You need to understand the mindset, the culture, the reason it was even created. It’s not their most profitable line, but it’s not about that, anyway. It wasn’t created to make profit; it’s a real product born of a joke. Daily Wire said men & women are different, a handful of people complained to Harry’s Razors, Harry’s ended their business with Daily Wire.
It was initially created solely so men didn’t have to buy from Harry’s. I would argue Gillette as well, but Harry’s for sure, that’s what they launched their product on & they bought IHateHarrys.com & has it redirect to Jeremy’s Razors.
Not a piss take. But yes part of the show. It’s entirely owned and operated by the chuds at the Daily Wire and their entire purpose is right wing culture war. It’s just classic conservative grifting
You joke but they almost certainly do. Why sell something to one group when you can repackage it and sell it to two different groups? And the “women’s” version is usually marked up for no reason.
They don’t. If you look into them it’s entirely a company owned by the same guy that owns The Daily Wire. It’s literally only there to grift from their audience and further their culture war.
Along these lines, there is no stupider entry in the American index than that of “Jeremy’s Razors,” a grooming company created by The Daily Wire, a conservative media platform founded in 2015 by Ben Shapiro (a political commentator you may have heard of) and Jeremy Boreing (a former film director you probably haven’t heard of, and the namesake for the venture).
Because they’re not in it for profit. It’s a project of the chuds at the Daily Wire. Any profit is a side effect of their true goal, right wing culture war. It exists to take money from their fans and use their “successful business” to prove that they’re correct. They’d still do it even if it wasn’t profitable just to push their preferred narrative.
Is a real product, with a real commercial, really saying that line. And it wasn’t even for political reasons, they just wanted men to drink their diet soda.
It’s because they’ve conditioned their audience to believe a few key things:
“Voting” with your wallet is what matters over all other forms of action.
Giving money to “woke” companies harms you as an individual.
Buying products is the best way to signal your value as a person.
Let’s break that down.
They want money to be more important than voting, because they understand that their political demographic does not win the popular vote in most cases, and their policies are inherently not popular with the majority. But when they can get money instead, then use that to influence votes and policy, well, that just might get them the policies they want without substantial votes from the public.
They want people to fear giving money to “woke” corporations because it makes them seem like the only source of real truth, and objectivity. They’re the voices of reason in a world that’s all against you. Then, you’ll be willing to pay for their subscription streaming service, and their subscription streaming service for kids, and their merch, and their chocolate, and their razors, et cetera et cetera.
They want you to associate buying products as the way to define yourself, because when you so strongly identify with their politics, you’ll spend as much money as you can signaling to those around you that you don’t support the “woke” agenda through your wallet, you only support those who truly embody your cause. Giving them money becomes a symbol of your values.
And of course, they wouldn’t get any sales without this as a selling point. If they just start a razor brand, not affiliated with their political ventures, who’s gonna buy?Their razors are effectively the same price as Gilette’s, just without the likely higher standard of quality and availability in physical retail locations.
But when they combine all three of those tactics I mentioned to make their target demographic believe they need these razors to display their values, stop a perceived evil agenda, and make their voice heard… well, then you’ve got a good revenue stream.
They’ll never get a huge chunk of the market, but the customers they will have will be loyal and can be leveraged to sell other stuff to. Wouldn’t surprise me if these razors are just repackaged stuff from another brand.
There is an entire coffee company dedicated to mUrica. It’s just fucking coffee but if you sell it right these idiots will buy literally anything that even pretends they be American and conservative
