That's what a regulatory state does. Pass new regulations. The people in charge are the smartest and know what's best. This is why European tech is a joke and they will never, ever have a Apple or a Google or a Dell. Michael Dell started his company in his dorm room. In Europe he would have been expelled for illegal capitalism.

They're not paying the cost of delivery of their packages. Instead, they're passing the cost onto taxpayers. How does that make you feel? Especially considering how these rural uneducated people vote?

Nope! That is fake news. The last time I heard this urban legend, it was George W. Bush Senior. If only Slashdot had X's Community Notes feature. That is rapidly turning into our best weapon against lying journalists.

An interesting take, to be sure. I don't see it, at all, but maybe others will. https://www.youtube.com/live/U...

How much of that is taxes that have increased?

I'm glad someone showed up to put Americans in their place! Goodness knows we almost had an outbreak of American pride there until you put a stop to it.

That's what's called a parasocial relationship, and it's not healthy. Para means half, and the relationship is one way only. People imagine that they are having relationships, but they aren't. That's why the higher tiers of Patreon are so popular among certain people. They get a response back! $500 a month for a friend! Shut up and take my money!

the "place to have the authentic conversations weâ(TM)ve always wanted to have."

Just curious: what is their policy on censorship? Something tells me they are not in favor of having any kind of authentic conversations unless they politically approve of the content.

While I agree there are 'red-handed' cases where the truly (earthly) irredeemable deserve the death penalty, the state has demonstrated they can't or won't apply it fairly and correctly.

Whoever came up with this stunt deserves a raise. It worked wonderfully well. It even made Slashdot! Despite having nothing to do with technology. The summary mentions three of their products by name!

How is it that you people were totally OK with "Cuties" but the moment an actual anti child trafficking movie came out you reacted to it like a vampire to sunlight and called it dangerous right wing propaganda? And then said it was very rare, it wasn't an issue, despite the fact that the last time I was in an airport there were signs all over the place telling you to report child traffickers immediately?

Are you implying there is a genetic basis to intelligence? This is false and major point in alt-right behavior.

The US has bigger fish to fry than supplying its domestic population with oil. The US must dominate the Middle East because that's where the world's oil comes from. The US is responsible for the entire world's energy supply, not just for its own. This means wars, but fortunately the US has a large military and government officials in DC who are willing to make the hard decisions. Senator Lindsay Graham has just called for war with Iran and once that's been cleaned up, the Middle East will be even more dominated by the US (and Israel of course). We're in a good position here.

I've tried apkpure and similar sites. They suck. The selection is poor, many apps aren't on there, and it's just useless. Believe me, I tried.
