Beard oil. It exists, it is amazing, and it stopped my itching. I comb a little into my beard every one or two days, takes like 5 minutes if I go slow.

I understand. I'm ND so it's hard for me to pickup social cues as it is, text makes it especially hard to figure out emotion or intention at times.

Thank you again for helping me understand a little better. 😁

Local High school kids build them for a graded project around where i live, so not very difficult for an adult to handle.

This is why I asked if anyone could clarify for me. Thank you for explaining in a more natural manor, the language used to write these proposals is often confusing for me.

With your clarification, it definitely seems to me like the protections in place should stay there. Maybe there are issues with some of these companies, but I don't think removing these particular protections will change the issues I see, just stifle open speech.

This is exactly why I asked if anyone could clarify for me, I didn't understand what was really being put on the political table here. Thank you for elucidating, the language used to write these proposals is often confusing for me. I understand that's often done purposely by the people submitting such legislation, so I usually have to find someone who can understand it better then I can.

Answering my own question, it seems that "Sunset acts" are a common occurrence in legislation that end programs and activities that have more or less run their course or stopped being effective or meaningful.

The reason this Sunset Act is being mentioned is...

Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act was created to protect early internet platforms from lawsuits over user-generated content, a safeguard widely seen as essential to the internet’s development. As social media companies have become some of the nation’s most powerful and influential corporations, critics have questioned whether that protection should remain.

... so my understanding is that this Sunset will remove some outdated protections from social media platforms, effectively forcing them to adapt with better policies and practices or open themselves up to litigation.

Since the text of this bill almost exclusively "strikes" sections of other, preexisting legislation, I can't quite tell what it really does without trying to locate and read each of the other pieces of legislation. Does anyone have a quick summery of what effect this proposal would have if passed?

These are not unintended consequences. They know perfectly well the effects such laws will have, and want that result.

 

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

When footsteps crackle among long dead and dreary bones, and looming tyrants bellows echo over painful muffled moans,

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

As children cry and call for parents lost embrace, and families weep in fear of loss, should they fall from grace,

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

To stop the shadow of kings cloak, from stretching 'cross the land, and return true freedom to the peoples rightful hands,

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

The call of rage against this dark injustice, summons forth collective might.

 

Back in the same ol' place again. Let's see how we do with the second go 'round.

Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

Assembly Bill A8132 has been assigned a "Same As" bill in the Senate: S8586 [NYSenate.gov] [A8132 - 2023]

I don't own a gun, I never have and I don't plan to at any time in the future. But if these pass in the NYS Senate and Congress, it would be required to submit fingerprints for a background check then wait 15 days, before you could own any "COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL."

This isn't even going to stop any crimes from happening, for pity sakes regular guns end up in criminal charges all the time, regardless of background check laws. How about some real change and effective measures, rather then virtue-signaling and theater illusion for a constituency?
