I feel like this is the modern version of excommunication. Bank accounts are essential to life in modern societies and if you have none, you are in serious trouble. If there are suspicious activities these should be investigated instead of

This is itself propaganda. Pretending one propaganda is better than the other is always a difficult game in my opinion, but of course everyone sides with some narrative. That being said our narratives are littered with fundamental contradic

> The idea that these 128 lives are different from any other 128 lives in, say, Central Africa is precisely a result of propaganda. Arguably the beneficial kind. That is the kind of relativism that doesn't hold water. To make it ver

Beware that on Ubuntu the apt version is actually only a shim to the snap install. (Edit: at least on latest LTS and above and default repositories)

> Your dear leader is the one you suppress speech about by labeling dissent as derangement. Where in that sentence is the "trying"? It's not even implied; it's just not there. TDS really disables any rational thought.

I don't like Olaf Scholz either; what's your point? > I said you were trying to suppress dissent ... No, you did not.

Do you feel suppressed by me? You should also consult Wikipedia about "the leader" of the Germans. I didn't label dissent as derangement and I even outlined (my) definition of TDS. You could easily apply it to other people th

For Yen and Euro it makes less sense since these are relatively stable, but for less stable currencies that is actually a thing. The definition of gambling you are talking about is built into our monetary system. I give you the point that i

You said "Bitcoiners" and "their scambucks" in one sentence. Before eCommerce took off the internet was almost exclusively used for scams and arguably that is still the case even if not exclusively it's still a big

How is Bitcoin a scam for you. Tell me.

Our current money system has the properties that give way to gambling. You can't pretend that gambling didn't exist before crypto.

> They are very unlike other currencies, in that almost all of them are rigged [...] So you're actually agreeing with me, that crypto currencies are not a scam. The number of currencies is also irrelevant even in a more colloquial s

Crypto (currencies) are not a scam. These are currencies and like any other currency are subject to devaluation and abolition.

Maybe NPC show is also not as funny, but the alternatives are being cancelled by butt-hurt moralists. This is sure true in Germany where "censored" would be the better word for it. I only know the big ones in the US and they were

I found mocking blue-haired non-binary gender-fluid moralists way funnier. It would draw a really big audience, but you may not mock them - it's hate speech. edit: speech not crime

They "use the equipment" and actual support are not the same. Did they arm ISIS directly or did the weapons end up there a different way? > But more generally, US, China, Russia have all been fighting/arming proxy wars ove

> This is because civil rights are a Western ideology. They certainly didn't come from ISIS' views on women. Nor from Russia and China, who supported them. How do you come to the conclusion that Russia and China support ISIS?

It was a bit of hyperbole. However Cisco is very often mentioned in the context of found exploits if you look for example on The Register or similar IT news and subjectively even more than any other brand. Even if I am totally right about t

It's always Cisco routers. The question might be naïve, but are Cisco routers inherently insecure at this point? I know Cisco is also the biggest target and it's obvious that consumer routers are less secure, but at this point the

This is not a real counter argument or a fallacy in itself (slippery slopes do exist). It happened in other countries already (i.e. Germany) so it makes sense to assume this is happening here as well - especially with California. The real q

I honestly don't see the dichotomy here. Can't you do both if you want? Use a design like the one on Liam on Linux' site and make it responsive (where necessary). Actually ... this site is already responsive enough imo.

Amanita Phalloides is the only one I know of you can easily die from (others are possible, but harder to overdose or need some other preconditions), but it is also one that you can easily mistake for some Agarici (Agaricūs?). I know of a ca

I wonder if this could be intentional for identity theft or registering an account without using your own mail. Consistently forgetting one's e-mail is a bit weird, but makes sense too of course.
