The overreach, I guess. I find it terrifying that we essentially have a smarter version of the Roman empire ruling the world. Smarter because they can safely hide behind bureaucracy and deny they're any such thing. More terrifying beca

Good thing I started with "I don't know this for a fact" then. The world is nicer when you don't bite, please try to be less hostile.

Thank you for the precisely articulated ultimate point in this debate I have with people about copyright, though my conclusion is different to what you're (probably?) alluding too. My conclusion is: Good. Traditionally, storytellers an

Anything is more important than making entertainment. It’s literally the first thing to be sacrificed in times of crisis.

Thanks, that was very informative, and depressing.

I don't know this for a fact, but I doubt that's true. I'm in the Netherlands right now, and I strongly suspect that like the poster says; the field of fucks given would be baron.

Seems like a fairly easy thing to do though, just never to go to the U.S.A.?

by ghusto 3y ago
Wow. Let me try to take that apart a little: 1. _The Marshall Islands_ fall under U.S.A. jurisdiction because they use U.S.A. financial services 2. The U.S.A. therefore "confiscated" the ship and oil for breaching their own sancti

I don't get this. "Here's the link" is so much more palatable to me than "Install this app". Am I so far removed from society?

It’s inappropriate if it’s inappropriate. Not that hitting on a woman is inappropriate in itself. Think of it the other way around: You send an email trying to quickly schedule an appointment with someone, and they reply with a time, and fl

I don’t think there’s anything morally wrong with it, but I’d still say men shouldn’t do it because it’s annoying. We’ve been mixing up “morally wrong” with “come on, don’t be a dick” constantly when addressing feminist issues. The first re

Aren't they also inappropriate for showers, as in they can't heat the water fast enough for a hot shower? Feels like a poorly thought out panic solution here in the Netherlands, where they're saying they're going to shut

You're worried about the deliveries?! ;D That's actually the easiest to sort out, at least in the Netherlands. You just get it delivered to one of the delivery lockers. More hassle is the water situation, but like I said you can w

None of that seems like an issue to me, all of them can be worked around. Especially the Amazon delivery, which I think wouldn't be in keeping with the type of need that someone who wants to do this would have.

Exactly this. Nobody is holding a gun to their heads and demanding they operate at an untenable scale. Unbridled capitalism forces that.

dd.mm.yyyy is better because it’s in an order, but that’s besides the point. If lots of native English speakers (Americans) use one way, and lots (U.K. and bros) use another, the only logical thing to do is use the unambiguous one (yyyy.mm.

Do people actually benefit from this "professional network"? I mean has anyone actually found work like this? I just mentioned I'm free to real people I know.

Yes? I deleted my account years ago, and the only repercussions I suffered was decreased spam.

I'd believe this more if it wasn't alleged that they were going to _LinkedIn_. Who the heck uses LinkedIn? And of those that do, how many of them are the target audience for Disney?

It's the last thing that can happen in the game, which I think is a fair definition of getting to the end, or "beating" it.

Can anyone in the U.K. confirm first hand experience (either themselves or knowing someone with no degree of separation)? I know lots of people in there, visited myself recently, and this seems like complete bollocks.

Glad you had the balls to say it, because just a few minutes in I was worried this kind of thinking was acceptable (at least here). What a load of deluded bollocks.
