The "customers" I speak of here are the people finding my antisocial content on reddit and deciding to enter into long term business relationships. I don't get paid to sell bottles of sriracha, but the fundamentals of doing s

> They know the car was yours so, by extension, you should be aware of its whereabouts at any given moment. This is an absurd assumption. I own many cars. Often, I'll borrow a car to a friend, I'm generally totally OK if they b

Per the US Supreme Court in Hicks v. Feiock 485 U. S. 624 (1988): >The substance of particular contempt proceedings determines whether they are civil or criminal, regardless of the label attached by the court conducting the proceedings.

Expensive cars tend to accelerate faster, and it can be vastly harder to feel the speed. It would be unsurprising if up until some limit there was a correlation between wealth and the frequency of getting speeding tickets.

You're missing the point.

There are exactly zero places in the world where "fighter jet pilot" is seen as a "working class" profession. And my whole point was that it's often not a profession, but a hobby.

I've lived and worked in the Gulf for half my life, I think I know what "these countries" are like.

Too many nepo babies and too little state owned movie production in the Gulf? Also flying modern fighter jets is the kind of fun that's typically very hard to buy with money, so you take the opportunity when available.

Be that as it may, I think we can agree that the USAF is not the same as the air forces of the Gulf countries.

In a sense it's a rather positive way of thinking, no? Surely having a shared set of beliefs is a pretty good starting point. I'm certainly not religious, but it feels rather cynical to make fun of this.

I'll spell it out: A lot of air force pilots in these countries end up being rich kids who do it because it's a fun hobby, not motivated soldiers. Because many of these people see it as a fun hobby, they don't spend much time

"Fighter jet pilot" is a really cool job. Guess who gets the cool jobs in these countries? Typically not the most highly motivated individuals, but the children of influential people who pull strings to make it happen. Guess how e

The state religion in Kuwait is Sunni Islam. It's much more nuanced than "Muslim brethren", except perhaps less so when Israel is directly involved, as it is today. It's also important to note that these are not democrac

I've thought about this same thing a lot, and the only explanation for the current state of affairs I can come up with is that marketers that have a good enough understanding of these communities are hard to come by. It's also lik

I'm largely indifferent, but the products I promote are good and the customers spending 500k+ pa on the services I sell are not unsophisticated.

Why? It's not like I'm claiming some eight figure marketing contracts here. This is totally accessible for even the smallest businesses. If you already understand how sites like reddit work, literally all you need to do is google

In a sense? Yes, and I don't care because other people are posting AI garbage everywhere and genuinely ruining things. In another sense? Not really, because the one thing I've learned is that if the content couldn't work with

I do this kind of marketing on reddit. It's so incredibly easy. Upvotes cost nothing, and even if someone figures out the astroturfing, you just spend a dollar or two and bury them in downvotes. One of my favorite tactics is just to u

It's really hard to describe "11 points in the Negev" as peaceful. Kibbutz Beeri was created for the sole purpose of justifying a hostile land grab by a bunch of well-funded European immigrants.

You've also got the fugitive neo-Nazi weev, who now hides in the Russian-backed separatist region of Transnistria as an admin on his IRC. Not to mention the ransomware guy who is again being sought by Interpol, also an op on acidvegas&

No? The companies which are now losing sales because a bunch of their customers are blocked would simply stop using those lists.

Yeah, but that's on the regular public transportation where the trips are short and homeless people a feature.

In what country could you possibly do this and not be subject to violence from fellow passengers anyway? I can't imagine finding a group of 100+ random people willing to turn the other cheek in Europe, much less in the UK specifically.

Certain internet forums related to VOIP routing seem to have no lack of sellers offering to sell all kinds of US sim cards by the thousands, I don't think availability is an issue.

by JasonADrury 7mo ago
That's surprising, US sim cards are routinely used for questionable activity in the US. What kinds of questionable activities would benefit from using a Mexican SIM in the US?

Haven't they? I can download iOS apps from the app store, sign them again with my own keys for MacOS, run them natively on my MacBook without any issues. Same binaries, same APIs. It all just works.

Why do you feel the need to pollute HN with terrible slashdot jokes?
