Out of curiosity and with zero background knowledge on what you have communicated here I have a question. Was there a denial that there would be a problem from mainstream sources? If so, was the cat out of the bag moment followed by 'n

For what it's worth, I hate being the problem with no solutions person. I don't think it's particularly useful and when I can think of potential solutions I will push for them at my own expense. Though honestly, those expense

I wish my friends were this honest and blunt. I acknowledge that the friends I keep would almost certainly disagree though. The normal (at least in Canada) seems to be as you suggest. I'm perfectly ok with being the weird one though.

I live in Canada where your suggestion is implemented at least in some capacity. The result has not been great. I believe part of the problem is that many people simply cannot afford to pay more. If we could target both problems at once I c

This isn't really something that can be legislated. The cat is out of the bag, it's not being put back in. And closing the systems that are massive and popular will simply encourage replacements that have less restrictions. We can

This sounds like a climate change problem that should receive a quick solution for the sake of the planet. Amazon is well placed to provide distribution of these parts at reasonable rates. Maybe they can be forced into such in order to cont

Google does a "great" job ensuring most people cannot understand their privacy policy. So maybe they have some fault there. I also think Google should disallow these types of websites from using Analytics. That said, Canada has a

We have a unique problem here that cannot be solved with legislation. The world government will never agree to it and will use it for power. The citizenry will never agree to it because the government won't. Furthermore, we almost unan

Exactly this. The only point i would add is the long ads that require an action to skip (30+ minutes). More recently I have also been getting clear scams as ads and no amount of reporting can get rid of them. These are the reasons I spent t

My comment wasn't really meant for you. It wasn't a criticism of you. It was a message indicating that everyone should be free to make their own decisions and shouldn't feel pressured based on how anyone else perceives them.

The assumption that people from the LGBT+ community must be of certain political beliefs is in itself prejudice. People don't have to do what anyone believes is best for them. They don't need anyone pressuring them to behave a cer

What a sad state of affairs. Your second example is far more news worthy. Oddly enough, the end result of this preference will -probably- be increased public "justice."
