Most socialistic societies fell due to outside interference in an already weaker society. (Weaker because of their starting position, not because of socialism). This was for example the case with Venezuela, to name a recent one. See: https

There has never been a truly communist society, they were marketed as being socialist (nazi party) or as communist (lenin and mao). None of those were what they claimed to be at all, or at best a corrupted version of what they were supposed

A dollar a day is quite expensive, you can get a domain and a email prodiver for like 5€ per month. See for example this [Dutch provider]( https://www.transip.nl/webhosting/ ) that I myself use, but it includes webhostin

This is happening to a lot of European countries as well. The cost of rental homes/flats is getting higher and higher. Even social rent is at the point that it is often just below 50% of their net income (assuming 1 person with a fullt

Fast charging depends on the compatibility with certain standards (USB-PD or Qualcomm Quickcharge). If it can't communicate that it resorts to the default, which is 5v/0.9A or 4.5W. So you would need compatible cables to make fast

I am not arguing that at all, you are arguing that there are plenty of alternatives, implying they are just as good quality wise. They are simply not. From almost all perspectives they are objectively worse, except for privacy. Features, Se

That doesn't really address the issue he raises though, you are somewhat forced to use modern devices if you wish to partake in the world/society. In addition if you get the choice at work between certain laptops and certain pho

This is the case with all these corporations, making money is their primary concern. In addition their options are 'comply to our laws if you want to sell your products here' or 'no selling on this market'. Not justifyin

You can easily argue that Apple unlike those others hasn't shown signs in the direction of selling your personal data (directly or indirectly). Google is an advertisement platform so they are the most experienced in using and selling y

That would really depend on how you define freedom, if you look at it theoratically like "free to do whatever you want". Then maybe , if you look at it from the perspective of "an individual can garner freedoms through work&

I think: "People everywhere should have the basic human rights" is far less controversial than "God hates the gays". I imagine that the latter also would get punished the same way to be honest, and then we wouldn't

They could use the same rule to force you to open up your mouth, as refusing to comment on issues could also have a negative impact on Blizzard Activision. They could coherce your speech, say x about issue y. If you refuse then ...

That seems unlikely, the general public doesn't read studies. Their knowledge about studies generally comes from articles written about those studies. Sadly those articles are often sensationalized pieces like "Scientists have har

The problem is, you also take a political stance by removing him from your tournament. Intended or not, people will read this as 'shilling' for China. Now I don't follow Hearthstone, but it's quite common to ask players

Ironically refusing to speak can also mean that. If the rest of the players would refuse to speak at all (in interviews or whatever), they could still be banned for that.

They interview the player/person, what they stand for is their own prerogative. It isn't up to Blizzard to dictate what people should think or are allowed to say on issues such as human rights. It is their right to ban someone for

Don't agree with this assessment at all, we do stand-ups and it rarely takes more than 5 minutes. It help immensely with production as your colleagues often help keep things from falling through the cracks. (I.e. someone forgets someth

Just because you spend a large amount of time on something that doesn't mean you're addicted to it. We shouldn't really throw that around willy-nilly. If your hobby isn't detrimental to your life, you're fine.

No it sounds just as cringe in English (at least UK English) as you highlight for Swedish/French. You wouldn't say "so I was just told by a female.", you would say "so I was just told by a woman." or an example
