How do you see this not being fraud? Clearly the intent was to deceive Spotify and obtain money by means of false pretenses, or do you disagree with that characterization? What problems do you see in the indictment? https://sto

Do you think fraud should be legal if it's only targeting large entities like Spotify? Would that make the world a better place?

I guess forging documents and selling you a house which I don't own shouldn't be an actual crime either? The patterns of behavior in both cases are functionally indistinguishable.

For what it's worth, both the pieces are part of a smear campaign by an American far right Christian group called Exodus Cry. Among other things, Benjamin Nolot who runs Exodus Cry is a holocaust denier

It's you who's missing the point. You're engaging in ridiculous pedantry over whether or not people cheat in a very popular video game, take a break. The reality is that it really couldn't matter less whether or not anyo

Why do you think this claim is "wildly" speculative as opposed to merely speculative? We have two possible options here, it's pretty obvious which is the more likely one. It is pretty ridiculous to suggest that nobody has eve

That article does not say what you (and possibly the author) think it does. > The United States on Thursday temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil that is currently at sea This is weird phrasing, and for a reason. Oil at sea has t

What's the point of even complaining about this? The reality is that nobody is willing to do anything to stop this. The people responsible will keep pushing for these schemes until they suffer direct personal consequences for doing so,

Nuking Tehran would be perfectly in line with stating on TV that you will summarily execute surrendering combatants!

Surely this kind of murderous rhetoric is more in line with possible use of nuclear weapons. If you're announcing that you'll kill surrendering Iranians, it seems to follow that you intend to kill lots of Iranians and are not part

It's certainly not the usual "investigative report" style I'd expect with Christo on the byline. Perhaps it's an attempt at making the report less dry? I don't think it worked. The unnecessary dramatization jus

The oil will typically already have been sold by the time it's "at sea". US grants sanctions waiver for countries to do the thing they never stopped doing? It certainly sounds very American.
