Always have been.

In the next protest mods should allow content like porn as another way of protest.

There was a time when corporal punishment was actively encouraged - Spare the rod and spoil the child.

My grandma passed away from dementia a couple of years back. My mom has symptoms of ADHD. I am diagnosed with ADHD. The only person in the family to get diagnosed and actively treating with meds and stuff.

I wonder if knowledge and meds can stave of dementia.

You need to start somewhere. Regulation will always lag behind technology. But sooner or later things will get regulated. Once a good number of people are affected by something, rules will be brought in by the people. That’s how democracy works.

These rules are never perfect. Sometimes, to make rules effective, they have to be multilayered (swiss cheese model). But that makes them too expensive to implement. So eventually things end in a compromise where cost and effectiveness balance.

All recent stupid SC stuff is because of 6-3 votes. These old fucks are seated for life.

Based if he dodged the Emu War.

Live in domestic help is extremely common all across India. They probably think they did nothing wrong as it wouldn’t have raised any eyebrows in India.

TVP. Textured Vegetable Protein

That would have been a mature thing to do.

Not too complicated. Zionism basically boils down to “Israel is Jew home country (for mythical reasons)” therefore “Jews should strive to achieve it”. It may have other connotations but I don’t think a lot of people are confused about this.

To be honest, we are fucking up the planet at an exponentially faster rate, so it is natural that mitigation solutions seems exponentially crazier.

There are people that believe that doing these crazy things will actually reverse the damage.

Then there are people like me who not only believe we are fucked but also believe that anything we do now is completely pointless as we are fucked either way so why bother.

You missed the entire point. Typical Apple fanboy.

The iphone isn’t at all important to humanity and that’s why it should be regulated. Especially when something so unimportant gets such a large market dominance.

Anyone should be able to buy anything and expect things to be interoperable.

I like the airpods. They don’t work properly on android. Why?

They could easily license out the tech and other companies will pay billions for it. and Apple will get their ROI.

Intel was forced to license x86.

Face it. Apple’s behavior is visibly monopolistic. It wouldn’t have landed on DOJ’s desk if there were no good reason.

All fine and dandy. Kudos to Apple for the innovation! But then they decided to keep it strictly inside Apple.

That’s not how communication works. Imagine if Bell kept the telephone to themselves… Oh wait… They tried… Got sued for it… Company broke up and the whole world got interoperable telephone system that is alive to this day.

Innovation is great, capitalizing on innovation is also great. But eventually it needs to reach everyone and the answer cannot be “then everyone should buy Apple”.

Imagine if DARPA kept the Internet as “Americans only”

It’s a hosting ban on US servers and app stores. People already downloaded the app will continue to be able to use it.

That is if Bytedance doesn’t sell.

You can use a bridge network or the host network.

In bridge network it is like a NAT host. With its own firewall settings.

In host network mode, it will just open the port it needs.

Completely on point. I am an engineer. If I were to self inflict gunshots, I would 100% design a contraption that would shooot multiple times. Need to make sure.

Also need to hide this contraption while I am in the dying process. To make sure people know it was self inflicted.

Just two? Rookie numbers.

A terrible coincidence, indeed.

That’s why we need to hit peak oil fast. It will be a definitive fuck you to oil.
