Sovereignty of a single individual is as definitionally micronationalist as is possible.

Because the shutdown threats are traditional ceremonies at this point, I am not sure people are too stirred. There are only so many times the news media can try to convince me the government won’t pay its bills.

And what their shareholders borrow against the value of their inflated shares and never have to pay income taxes? Seems almost like a national bust out based on the article definition.

You are missing the entire point that it doesn't necessarily have to be this way and use it to finger wag a straw man.

There are too many low quality games, I do like the idea of some negative filter coming in to reduce the spam.

You realize those movies were inspired by something actually happening right? Like criminal enterprises are intertwined with legal businesses all the time. Whether it’s embezzlement/kickback schemes, espionage, or extortion there are i

I hope so, I hate going to the hottest spot in the US every year. This year Toxic BBQ was acceptable in terms of heat but other years has been miserable. I would love a more outdoor friendly hacker conference. I’m so tired of Vegas. I know

My Google authenticator app on iOS once wiped itself without any warning and I was unable to recover the keys. I literally opened my Authenticator app one day and it was empty. It was probably one of the most enraging experiences. Switched

What percentage of the cars were electric? hybrids? diesel? hydrogen? natural gas? I am curious to hear your insights. I watch the traffic like this too and try to tally up as many as I can as I try to count 1000 cars. How do you record wha

Legal privilege will not apply if your conversations with your attorney are for planning or furthering an ongoing crime or fraud, or one that hasn't happened yet.

I don’t see why another culture doing something differently is “absurd”, it’s clear the person understood their criminality and proceeded to harm society and then society held them to account. What is so crazy about that?

I put this in my reviews, my yearly feedback to the company, in-person feedback, etc. Management seems to think its a one way street from full offices to open floor plan and never back again. Their nihilism is exhausting.

Is this not the same as "exploring" places people have already been before? I don't see the mutual exclusivity that you imply. Is it because one isn't seeing the source material for one's self that makes it differen

Right so you don't know what it's like to live in a dystopian society where guns are everywhere and some are itching to use their weapon consciously or otherwise.

Okay maybe you are right, I don't know. I just want less people to get hurt.

This is slippery slope logical fallacy.

Are you kidding me? The moment this country outlaws misinformation I am gone. You've made quite the leap and I don't think it is helpful. Also, the guns are the way they typically kill people and that is definitely nothing to scof

The police should absolutely use drones if it means getting officers can investigate without misuse of lethal force ever being an option. They are only using it when they would have otherwise sent a squad car or done nothing at all, so this

I think they can't tell if RTO is better for the company, so they think, "why tank my REITs, directly owned properties, or other real estate investment plays if I am not sure?"

Let’s be more specific about the obvious conflicts of interest at play. These managers, directors, and VPs are the same who have the most to lose if real estate loses its value. Their portfolios are diversified and they have commercial and
