If 99% of reason to get verified is to look at porn (and let's be honest, near 100% of those who want to be verified after midnight), then the website doing the actual verification of identities has a list of people looking at porn. No

You mean the guy the administration smeared as an ineffective, incontinent drug addict and who had to duck out because of the harm to his companies? The guy who promised trillions in cuts an managed to deliver almost none? The guy who is no

If they were actually oligarchs, they'd have already done what they want. Conflating some wealthy people who have, at best, mild influence over the government, with actual oligarchs in an oligarchy is... rhetorical nonsense. I get how

Getting parts at cost? So I could find some manufacturer using a part I want and order it at their cost rather than having to go to a retailer? Is there anything that allows a manufacturer to require you send in the broken part after or any

In this case, the CIA Director flew to Kyiv to warn of the assassination attempt along with the invasion itself and we know how accurate the latter turned out to be. But sure, it could have been bad intelligence or it could be accurate. Giv

Thanks but no thanks. If history is any guide, citizens almost always end up in far worse shape in actual dystopian nightmares when states collapse. I'll happily take stability living under an "oligarchy" with relatively w

A Wing delivery drones can lift 5 lbs and travel upwards of 12 miles at up to 70 mph. If a single operator can pilot 20 drones simultaneously, delivering say 50+ packages/hour, then it starts to make sense.

Nothing changes. It's a felony to attempt to damage, destroy, disable or wreck any aircraft. How you do it doesn't matter.

Forgive me for being skeptical, but socialists have been predicting the collapse of the United States due to the working class awakening for over a century. I'm not going to hold my breath.

Why would retail prices triple? Tariffs are on wholesale price. Prices are definitely higher for products that didn't have a lot of inventory already in warehouses (mostly new models of higher priced goods, DJI, Lenovo, etc.) - that is

Unmodified law? The law in question has been amended many, many, many times in the last 100 years. For goodness sake, the original law set specific tariffs for 20,000 different goods. Little of the original law still exists unmodified.

Yes, it has always been like this. We elect Presidents to faithfully execute the law, not Dictators to ignore it. The courts have always ruled against executive for disobeying the law. Preventing any one branch from amassing too much power

Unless the CIA has a time machine, I don't see how that's possible. The earliest known usage is from 1863, about 84 years before the CIA was founded.
