IMHO *captcha is better at keeping humans out than bits. I often have problems with the *captcha while bits seem to easly pass them.

The first thing you do when you get an Android phone is purge the firmware and put LineageOS on it.

Yes. What would be so bad about it?

Doesn't it benefit everybody's national security by making anti-weapon designs widespread?

Do you call everyone, who has a different opinion, a troll?

Isn't it good that anti-weapon designs are widespread?

Or just being a realist. If one bullies everybody else, it's no wonder the bully has enemies.

And who thinks the US is any better? Spying on everyone... using every possible mean to further its agenda...

I still wonder what's good about corporations paying taxes anyway.

Wouldn't it be more beneficial if they didn't pay taxes?

So, if corporations didn't have to pay taxes. They would hire more people or pay them more. Those additional hires or higher salaries will then be taxed again. So the Gvt. does get it's money.

The effect is, that corporations won't have to go offshore for the best tax deal and pay taxes there.

So we would benefit a lot more if the corporations stayed here - tax free - but in return hire more people or pay higher salaries.

So, when ping goes up considerable for some time it's not just a routing "issue".

That's why europeans, north americans and asians don't usually play outside their region - bigger ping.
