> It's also insane that a PAC campaigning against Bores is funded by current Palantir employee Lonsdale. Their critical ads literally criticize him for working for Palantir. It's life imitating The Simpsons: https://

Unlike food, nicotine is not a necessity. Also calorie intake alone doesn't determine weight gain or loss. The problem of obesity is much more complex. Governments try to address this problem through education and regulation of food. T

Alcohol is the deadliest and has the biggest social costs of any drug. Nicotine is second, heroin is a distant third. Drugs that are largely harmless, like MDMA, are illegal with heavy penalties. Drug policy is largely nonsense and rampantl

This is nonsense. There is a logic to the law, it's not arbitrary. I could argue (unsuccessfully) that it's discriminatory and unfair that I have to wait an extra 3 years to claim my pension compared to older people.

This is just whataboutism, but the UK also regulates sugar in fairly draconian ways too, for example. There are good reasons to target smoking given how addictive and deadly it is. Nicotine is fairly unique in this regard.

You mean the point is to dump it all on the end user's machine, hogging its resources. It's bad enough having to run one boated browser, now we have to run multiples? This is not the right path.

No, because defamation is a civil matter, so you can't be arrested or end up in jail.

I guess you'll change your tune the first time they force you to submit to an inspection of your vagina.

These ME countries are authoritarian hellholes with a thin veneer of civility and modernity. Think I'm exaggerating? How about being randomly dragged off your flight to have your vagina inspected: https://www.arabnews.jp&#x2

I've had emails from Google end up in spam and I'm using Google Workspace, it's driven by what people flag as spam, not domain trust.

There is no such thing as a company being "too big", it's only a question of market power (eg monopolies) and abuse of that power. For LEO data it seems that there will be plenty of competition. If you're talking about A

Why on earth did they do that? Linking to a power station you didn't have to build seems like a no brainer. Was the deal that bad?

It's a reasonable choice given that DCs use massive amounts of power and provide very few permanent jobs. I don't think they are comparable to car parts, maybe aluminum smelters though?

I'd say 'social problems', but otherwise entirely true. One of the strangest things I find is that people will spend serious money to buy a house somewhere they don't have to be exposed to the great unwashed yet will hap

Exactly. I actually find normies quite unbearable. My comment was not very serious. I can easily pull off a normie affect, but the most disappointing thing to me is most people's inability to cope with even a little strangeness.

It's a good thing if you can profit from it. It doesn't seem that hard. All you need is a load, but obviously harder as you increase the scale. Heck you could build some large bodies of water and boil them from time to time.
