It's not foolishly phrased. The limits of the consequences are implicit by using "freedom of speech". It feels more like you are just foolishly interpreting the statement. The statement doesn't even pertain to the article in the post.

I've only ever seen it being used correctly to point out that speech having social consequences does not mean you don't have freedom of speech. If someone says "oh woe is me, why can't I say the n word anymore", I don't think going into a 30 minute tirade about the intricacies of freedom of speech is going to work out for you.

Let me help you out there.

The consequences in this statement will exclude stuff like imprisonment or illegal actions, as it would otherwise not constitute free speech. What is meant by consequences in that statement is social consequences, like being ignored, being "cancelled" or maybe being called names, like bigot.

For some reason people like to lament that "you aren't allowed to say this bigoted thing anymore". This statement rightly points out that you are, but people are also allowed to call you an asshole for doing it.

It's blatantly obvious what they are doing. I have a 10 year old company Twitter account I don't use anymore, and at some point they put suggested tweets in my notifications, which would usually be related to my industry because of the accounts I follow. Now it's a constant barrage of Elon and Andrew Tate tweets... In my notifications... It's being forced down my throat, and I haven't engaged or even seen their content at any point in time.

You're going to use that "You're going to use that "is not better served in another way" clause to wiggle out of anything I might suggest, but okay." clause to wiggle out of anything they might suggest, but okay.

She lost by 2 mill votes, Biden won with 7 mill in 2020, and she got more votes than Trump in 2020. I wouldn't say he beat her badly. It sucks nevertheless.

Fuck that. If they want to put "AI" crap in all their products, they should have to deal with the same stupid bullshit we have to deal with when interacting with it. They made the chatbot and put it there, they should have to live with being "SLAMMED" in the media when it says stupid shit.

"Fails and Crain believed abortion was morally wrong. The teen could only support it in the context of rape or life-threatening illness, she used to tell her mother. They didn’t care whether the government banned it, just how their Christian faith guided their own actions."

A big caveat maybe that I've been making music for decades but only started playing drums a couple of months ago, so it's not going to be very efficient drumming + I'm a programmer, so my fitness is already very low :D

I noticed the same a while back and looked it up, and some website says 1 hour of drumming is about equal to 10k steps in burned calories. I don't know how accurate that is, but going by my sweat levels after 1 hour of drumming, I'm counting it.

Actually simpler, if you have an Asus router. Just remember to disable its telemetry stuff...
