Why is it possible for him to be deported from Georgia to the USA? He didn't break any Georgian laws, did he?

It kind of does though. People online cheer when city centers become closed to cars. Spreading it further probably means restricting cars more. I don't really disagree with your overall stance, but those two do often go hand in hand. P

That sounds utterly ridiculous. Is that how America got the mentality that you're not allowed to have your child play unsupervised on the front lawn? Obviously Alexa shouldn't give such answers, but at what point do you just exclu

Advertising without tracking doesn't work. Only a small set of businesses can really advertise online without tracking. Any business that is in a specific area or doesn't use English will find it a bad deal, because most of their

Except that these are businesses giving away a free product which has been immensely useful. Starting out I wouldn't have paid for almost any of the services that I use on a daily basis.

How are websites and apps going to make money though? Like it or not, the reason the internet became this popular is because of all the free stuff on it. If everything was behind subscription fees it possibly would never have taken off. I d

I ate an Apple. My favorite fruit is an Apple. I have an Apple in my backpack. The teacher has an Apple of her desk. I saw an Apple. I picked up an Apple. I the the Apple away. I mean the Apple fruit. This is Swype on my android phone.

It does for me: Apple gets automatically capitalized by my phone when swyping. That's about it though.

But not being in a guild doesn't mean you're lonely. Maybe the random group finder and other pick up groups are enough to give you social interactions against loneliness?

Does this apply to people who play video games? If you play social games like MMOs you're pretty much forced to interact with others. Does that help in any way combat the issues?

The state allowing lethal force in defense of property is not abdicating a monopoly on violence any more than allowing lethal force in defense of life. In both cases the state is allowing somebody else to use violence, therefore if one coun

When society does not uphold defense of property you get things like this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/15/walgreens-cl... Unless something is done soon those areas are going to decline.

But I don't get back the time I spent acquiring the property. I can't replace the two weeks of work it would take to buy a new one. And what if it gets stolen again?

by Mirioron 5y ago
How about people just don't steal? A thief deprives somebody else of opportunities. If somebody steals your catalytic converter and you need to be on time for a job you're going to be screwed at the job and you will have to repl

Yeah, instead you should buy an iPhone that's manufactured in China. Or a Samsung phone that's... made in China. Besides, you'll get the American spying anyway whether you avoid Chinese phones or not.

Why stop there though? Why don't we ban everything that uses energy and is unnecessary for achieving our climate goals? Video games? Banned. Alcohol? Banned. Driving? Banned. Exercise? Banned - it increases your daily caloric needs. Fo

But the risk with obesity and Covid is that they both overload the healthcare system. As long as it keeps working fine then Covid is unlikely to spiral out of control. Obesity itself seems to make Covid worse.

Obesity has a sizable impact on the healthcare system. WHO says that obesity kills 2.8 million people a year.[0] Would these kinds of methods work there too? Get fit or be let go? Obviously this wouldn't ever be taken seriously, but it

This is the funny part, isn't it? The article talks about opposition to a bill but doesn't clearly name the bill or even explain its actual contents. The closest it gets is a link to another article that talks about two bills -

I think the latter half of your last paragraph is falling prey to the same problem as the first half. The "incel" label is the same pattern by the public/media/government to label people as undesirables so you wouldn&#x2

People like drawing penises and swastikas. I think it's because they're simple shapes, but also taboo. A bot might very well imitate that.

While that's true, assault is also very commonly not reported. I don't think I even realized before the age of 25 that I could report someone for hitting me. If something broke then I would think of it, but if it just hurt then no

I'm not so sure that it's easy to tell the difference between CGI and reality. Sometimes scenes in movies look really fake, but aren't actually CGI. The way scenes are lit and the heavy makeup actors end up wearing can make i
