Carefully measure how much time it takes you to write a carefully-worded email versus just saying what's on your mind.

Be sure to also compare the difference between a - in your words - "carefully-worded" email versus some dipshit rambling on in a stream-of-consciousness babble. Specifically, how long it takes both people to communicate that way, versus, one while writing the email.

In short, it depends on the subject matter that needs to be communicated, and you're both full of shit.

Comment Re:Personally, I do judge people (Score 1) 52

Makes perfect sense when dealing with someone who should have technical skills, or in a context of technical know-how, like an interview for an IT position.

For a job interview for non-technical positions, though, you're just showing that you know as little about people as they do about computers. Which is a definite red flag.

Give that the glitches are dependent on the quality of the connection, and the quality of internet service is depending on location, and poor neighborhoods with low quality internet correlates pretty closely to Not Being White (and being rural, but that's a much smaller percentage of the population), yeah, lawsuits are inevitable.

Where they are headquartered doesn't matter. What matters is if they have a legal presence in the state. If they do, that presence, at least, is subject to their laws, including all the various enforcement mechanisms, like fines (and seized bank accounts if necessary), and even jail time for contempt.

If they don't - of if they abandon anything that can be moved - then they're not.

Comment Re:If you want to speak freely on the internet... (Score 4, Insightful) 49

It's ironic that Google (a US company) is heavily censored (see Youtube) and US citizens have resorted to a Chinese platform to speak freely.

Try posting a video there about Tiananmen Square. One that accurately reports how the government ended it.

Let us know how that works out for you. If they let you have internet access in the prison library.
