Comment Re:Prohibition doesn't work, never has (Score 1) 57

If tickets were an auction, the problem would instantly solve itself. You could even still have a secondary market for last minute buyers. And the extra revenue would go to the venue/artists, rather than a random scalper.... if those even exist anymore. I expect it's more likely Ticketmaster themselves selling them as resell at a 3x markup.

Rent free, immunity, etc... that's all good. In fact it's absolutely great! But we must be giving something to Manila in order to get this deal, like protection from certain asshole neighbor (you know who), or an iron dome installation, some other defensive capabilities against naval/aerial adversaries. We're not seeing those details.

Oh dear. Is there some danger here of an alliance that actually benefits both parties?

Chill out. Go take a walk and let those strawmen fade away in the sunlight. You sound like you're trying to wind yourself up until your mind breaks. He's one guy who won't be President for much longer. Worry about your own soul for a bit. Go find someone who needs help and help them. Rage and resentment aren't going to help you, they're going to ruin you.

Well, that's all they have.

Magas hold no positions, values, or morals. They believe what they are told to believe, even if that contradicts what they were told to believe weeks, days, or even minutes ago. They will parrot whatever fox news talking points that somehow attempt to square this circle with bring back US domestic industry and american first. Just like they think "paying a fundir religious zealot run nation twenty billion dollars" a "win."

lol ... you are literally just parroting the talking points that you have been fed.

You believe what you are told to believe, even if it's insane (e.g. 50%+ of the country are "racists", etc.).

Nice. Speaking as a New Mexican, these sound like my kind of people.

Comment Re:My home network is nearly pure IPv6 (Score 1) 72

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Israel and the US, the fascist aggressors who started this war, should obviously surrender, and hand over the architects of the war to Iran to face trial.

Wow. You really are that brain damaged. And similar idiots upvote you.

The mullahs of Iran literally killed tens of thousands of their own citizens for protesting. Recently. They are the fascists. Just a little remedial reality lesson for you.

Have a look at the map dude. Iraq is a mostly land locked country on the far end of the persian gulf, far from where the hormuz straight is. They definitely could have fucked with the oil facilities in Kuwait, but last time they tried that the americans dropped the hammer on them very rapidly.

Plus, the Iranian military is around 7-10 times the size of Iraq's, and around twice the population, so theres that.

Back in the 1990s when I used to attend a lot of "extreme" metal gigs, there was a local grind metal band who where on this permanent quest to discover the "brown note", a mythical infrasonic frequency that would cause the listener to shit their pants. Thankfully for us punters, no such tone exists. One could imagine however using an ultrasound frequency like the researchers suggest to induce a perception of smelling shit. Heck, even get the audience to puke. Thankfully said band are now all in their 50s-60s (and likely not actually a band no more) and probably less interested in such irresponsible, but possibly funny, experiments.

Im not sure what actual power the judge has here. Internationally those sorts of orders have no status and at best are just suggestions. Same goes with orders to comply if Annas Archive is hosted internationally. Probably russians, who in turn probably dont give a flying fuck about the opinion of some random american judge.
