I have no way of knowing, but it’s possible they’re doing this so the studio gets to keep as much money as possible instead of having to pay the people involved in making the movie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly

Now it's time to play the fun game of "which politician has a spouse/sibling that owns a company that makes the stuff that is now illegal not to buy?"

It's pretty simple - communism is "real communism" when it works, and it's not when it doesn't. It's similar to how it's not "real capitalism" when things go wrong in a capitalist system.

I think this attitude goes way beyond just crypto/web3. It seems like corporate greed and environmental destruction is a-ok as long as the company tweets in support of woke stuff.

I love the hypotheticals here. person a: we should hold ultra wealthy landlords who own hundreds of units accountable when they do bad things that make the real estate market worse for everyone else person b: well what about my hypothetical

But isn't the whole point of the twitter files that the government compelled these companies to apply those labels, even when they felt they shouldn't have? I am genuinely asking becuase I do not understand the majority opinion he

I genuinely do not understand why this always gets dismissed so easily in this way. Do we live in the same universe? Why is even mentioning it an act of bad faith?

Your mistake is using words like “us” and “we”. You are not part of the club that makes these decisions, and eventually, the people who are will make decisions you don’t like. The goals of those making them are just not aligned with yours,

Sure. I just don’t think this argument that any child who is homeschooled is going to grow up and be a complete idiot and never contribute to society is a good one, especially since all of the comments in this thread making that argument ar

You didn't answer his question - why are regulations on teaching your own children in your own home so necessary?

I distrust the police as much as the next guy, but what else is there to report? What other sources are there? Youtube, one of the giant platforms that is notorious for being horrible at communicating with users?

It seems like it’d be better if one country could go down that path alone, just so the rest of us could point to it as a reminder of why we shouldn’t do the things that it did. The EU makes it so it has to happen to everyone at once.

It is for the society in which these companies operate and profit to decide, not the companies themselves. And if it is indeed “too difficult”, which we all know just means it will hurt profits to a degree that is unacceptable to shareholde

That's not following their reasoning at all, it's a strawman. His point was that a business shouldn't be able to claim that doing something we want/require them to do is too hard and just not do it, which is what they cu

Don't be so cynical. All these problems are 100% the fault of the political party you don't like. We definitely don't need to question the system, just blame the bad guys and keep paying your taxes!

I guess it depends on whether or not you think that an airline killing a plane full of people because they skimped on safety is just the "cost of innovation". Surely you can see how some people may think it would be better to have

I have always found it very strange that people will take scalding hot showers and use all sorts of makeup and creams and skin care products and then still complain about skin issues. Not doing those things is just not an option apparently,

I believe the point is that even suggesting that a western government is surveilling its dissenting citizens would get you labeled a conspiracy theorist nutjob. And with this revelation, we are now supposed to believe that this was the only

Did they announce this? If so, how was it worded? One aspect of the theory that police are just not doing their jobs that really infuriates me is how it's seemingly done in secret. If so many police feel so strongly that they can'

If the NYT is just a business that exists to make its customers happy as you are suggesting, why do we take them seriously? Isn't that why everyone hates fox news?

It's pretty simple really, they allow all that because it makes them money. If that ever changes, they'll crack down.

Anything posted here about thiel or musk (especially musk) is bound to be full of useless comments that boil down to nothing more than "i don't like him." It doesn't matter what the article is about, if the headline can
