You know, the whole “Pepe becoming a hate symbol” thing is maybe the best and most easily understood argument for why “hate speech” must remain free speech.
To be able to professionally offer African-style hair braiding in Missouri, you have to be a licensed cosmetologist.
To be a licensed cosmetologist, you have to complete 1,500 hours of expensive training.
To complete that 1,500 hours of training, you have to learn exactly nothing about African-style hair braiding, a centuries-old process that uses no chemicals and poses literally no risk to stylist or client.
Oh, and did I mention it only takes 100 hours of actually relevant training to become a Missouri-licensed EMT?
People that say “I don’t care about mass surveillance, I’m not doing anything wrong” don’t realize that the people surveying you can change what is considered ‘wrong’ based on their own interests.

the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore
who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”
at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it
*stands majestically in a bucket*
ok but notice the trail of buckets behind him meaning he walked from the ocean through three other buckets of water before he got into the one hes standing in
LISTEN… I’VE WATCHED THIS MOVIE A MILLION TIMES AND I NEVER NOTICED DAVY JONES WAS IN A BUCKET
Did I ever tell you guys I was obsessed with squid face in middle school? Because I was. Like absolutely in love with this character. And it pains me to know some people didn’t notice the buckets.

remember those boys in middle school whose digital watches would always go off in class … what were the alarms for … why did they never learn how to turn off the alarms
