The whole comment box just doesn't appear for day on ends. Different on different hardware.

Rogan has quite an inside view of censorship, as totalitarian mouthpiece for an treasonous insurgency or criminals.

When Tiny Hands tries to revoke broadcasting licenses from journalists that criticize him, as he pledged to do, will Rogan mumble qualified criticism before immediately flying into some pathetic "whatabout" excuses? Or will he go the full Nazi psychosis and call it "defense of freedom," like slavery was to the Confederates?

Often takes decades of regeneration and careful protection to redevelop arable regions. However "concerned" global powers feign to be, they sit comfortable knowing that whatever valuable resources remain will certainly belong to them, often personally.

Next priority is use efficiency. and sustainability. After that is city-level and regional-level climate improvement. Dead last is geo-egineering, so it costs by the most in lead time and has the biggest unknowns.

"The real solution is the disconnection of internet connections for large swathes of the world. Basically, if you can't get an extradition agreement going with that country, you can't allow them to connect with you. You'd be surprised how easy that kind of alteration of the paradigm might go."

Sounds good to me. Why the actual fuck do we have active Russian domains when we know for a fact that all of them are just rogue state agents and the people of Russia are largely blocked by their captors in Moscow?

Just hire a cracking crew from some shit country to find any exploit at all and send you a ransom email, suddenly you're off the hook for your cooked books.

"Russia would never agree to that. They tacitly approve of ransomware attacks on Western companies."

There's nothing tacit about it. Russia has been engaged in 24/7 electronic war on Western civilization for at least a decade. We just live in la-la-land, and pretend to defend against it with one hand while the other jerks off.

It's just a topic heading on X. And just the GOP's pathetic attempt to mimic Barack Obama's wildly successful Change.org.

Are you trying to discredit your own alleged position with a line like "It's a well known fact"? It may be plausible, reasonable, and likely, but you gotta do better.

A corporation is a legal structure defining ownership. There's a difference between A owning B and B owning A, or mixed partnerships between them. The difference may disappear if you remove the legal veil and look at individual owners (if the same person ends up owning both, it doesn't matter), but laws mainly address the paper structure.

Yeah, I probably overstated. It's been a long time since I used any of those resources, but I do recall decently-sized public libraries having remote access to at least some journal databases. It is kind of silly and melodramatic to blame lack of convenient access to peer-reviewed journals for public ignorance though. Most people can't even handle pop science written with any degree of detail.

No. A movie theater that owns a studio is not a studio that owns a movie theater. Hmm...

A consent decree barring major studios from owning major theaters (if I'm understanding that correctly) doesn't necessarily ban a theater chain from starting a production company. Antitrust usually has directionality. A tire company buying a car company would be less problematic than vice-versa.
