Well, let's just say that acting like an asshole didn't particularly improve Greece's situation and standing in the world.

The joke's on you. "They" can do whatever they want. They can boycott reddit, for example, if they want to.

The way you are talking reveals that you have no fucking idea about what Amnesty International is actually doing, and this kind of ignorance is infuriating me, because a simple web search could have given you at least some clue.

I've been a member of AI for a decade now, and there is absolutely no doubt to anyone who actually reads their reports that they are one of the most impartial organizations on earth. Please stop this bullshit about "tearing down the west" and get a life!

Even better, go to the AI page to inform yourself and eventually become a member. You can even do some good without becoming a member, e.g. check out the Urgent Actions programme. You can literally safe lives and prevent people from 'disappearing' by writing simple letters.

In this case it won't work against trolls, though. They should have spent some time on Usenet to actually get a clue what trolling is.

If the law was motivated by this, then why do they not restrict the law to not allow knowingly trolling people with mental illnesses? A "do not drive mentally ill people into suicide" law might make sense, provided such cases are not yet covered by existing laws.

But that is not their motivation. The primary motivation is to get additional means for wealthy people (including, of course, politicians) to sue bloggers and critiques. Another motivation is to cover the politicians' asses under extremely rare circumstances when bullying creates some public outrage, which usually happens in the form of a witch hunt that blown out of proportions by the medias.

No to all of your questions. Better go skydiving or crocodile hunting instead.

They are not innocent. Vice versa, the Uber managers knew perfectly well from the start that their company is breaking the laws. It's not as if these laws and regulations are secret, you know...

No they haven't. They are still very bad off ten years after the default, they even would have gotten into bad troubles again recently if they had followed the law, only because some private (!) investor wanted his money back.

Unfortunately, Greece's economy is very import oriented. Exiting the Euro would be catastrophic for Greece, which also the reason why the other EU countries tried everything they could to prevent this from happening (short of being blackmailed by Greece's current lunatic government).

I don't know, Windows 10 looks rather 80s to me. It certainly doesn't look modern.

Also, Microsoft has not yet given us any guarantees that we will not have to pay for subscriptions in future, that all features will continue to work, and that they pay for any damages that result from an automatic upgrade going wrong. So it doesn't seem wise to upgrade, at least not immediately. I'd rather wait a year or two.

LOL

I'm afraid you're just a moron - but a rather lucky one! Because in your world you'd already have died by a plane, car or train crash, food poisoning or thousands of other causes of unnatural death due to lack of security regulations.

Bah, these indie games really make me throw my guts out. And my girlfriend hates them as well.

Only Tad-like videos with "funny" Garageband background music are worse...

I guess I'm a bit cranky today. >:[

It's even more infuriating for non-expats who are not native speakers of English. Nobody except my long dead grandpa wants localized content, except perhaps for books, but even literary translations are getting less and less popular. Most literary translations suck, too, especially for genres like Science Fiction. Movies are the worst, their lip syncing is an abomination. And don't let me get started with video games, for some reason foreign voice actors are always worse than the original.

Almost everybody speaks English nowadays anyway, so at least they should give us a choice.

What's the problem? Nobody forces you to deal with a business you don't trust.

Unless you own a Seagate drive...
