Right? So much of this seems like people not able to tell if actions are good or bad independent of who takes the action. There’s no way their team could ever do anything bad, and anything done by the other team is automatically bad.

God forbid you try to reinforce a rare good behavior from someone who’s also done a lot of horrendous things.

Someone stealing any physical property is likely bad for one or more reasons.

Also, you can’t steal an idea or a concept. Copying digital information doesn’t deprive the creator of the original. Copying isn’t theft.

Is there betting (such as buy-in / ante) in Balatro?

Is there in MtG?

Agreed, gambling doesn’t have to be for money or even anything tangibly real.

Alcohol production licensing laws probably play a larger role than the cost of ethanol.

I’d like to propose a middle ground. As someone who puts effort into avoiding added sugars, it is much more difficult to find unsweetened tea at some chain restaurants or convenience stores.

Being from the North, I’m no authority on Sweet Tea, but I’ve heard that it’s nearly saturated with sugar. If so, that’s not what’s usually available either.

I’ve encountered many a place selling sweetened tea (that may not qualify as proper Sweet Tea), but they didn’t have unsweetened tea.

Even if my country adopted a GDPR-like regulation, that regulation would only apply to my privacy. Not yours.

That could depend on how the regulation is written, so we should push to have these new regulations cover all users of services hosted in our countries.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong because I don’t know how proton works on this. These type of things usually don’t send the protected content in the email to the recipient’s server, they just send a link that the recipient opens and it’s all still kept on the private service’s server.

Respectfully, when you wrote

They’ve moved so far towards neoliberal policy positions that they no longer have an economic message to give their working-class base. In the absence of a coherent economic vision for the party, they keep doubling down on, “identity politics,”

It seems like you agree with

some Democratic National Committee members are concluding that the party is too “woke,” too focused on identity politics and too out of touch with broad stretches of America

I also think that if the Dems want to win, they need to simplify their platform and messaging to focus on what will help working-class people the most. I agree that abandoning people is not the answer, but the messaging and focus needs to be more universal.

Exactly how does it apply? It didn’t come from a “King, Prince, or foreign State”. I could declare that I grant you a title, but because it isn’t coming from a monarch it’s meaningless and that article doesn’t apply.

I don’t think the U.S. Constitution bans anyone from getting a title from some random French family, only from a “King, Prince, or foreign State”.

Is this article intentionally misrepresenting? There’s plenty of scummy things he’s done without having to invent weird distractions.

Don’t all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?

Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

No, that isn’t accurate and isn’t getting it.

All the data caps today are for total cumulative quantity per billing cycle. That is not a reliable method for controlling what actually bogs things down, which is the bandwidth used at any moment (speed).

Limiting bandwidth is also done by most ISPs today, but that’s not what this is asking to change. The data caps are exclusively a way to charge more.

Filming / photography in public is a First Amendment protected activity.

No misunderstanding - I get what you’re saying and I disagree.

I also don’t agree that expecting journalists to be accurate makes someone an asshole. If they were reporting on an automobile and wrote that the spark plugs make 500HP we could guess what they likely meant, but we’d also recognize the journalist’s ignorance. They should educate themselves on their subject matter so they can do their job properly.

Sure they do. The gun clubs I’ve joined foster an environment that attracts people who demonstrate care and consideration in all aspects concerning firearms. If someone is lazy and imprecise in the manner in which they communicate about guns, that might also apply to their general demeaner. After speaking with some of these fellows during public range days, it’s not surprising when later they’re shooting holes in the shelter roof or bouncing ricochets off the top of the berm.

Or dummy rounds (aka snap caps), or blanks…

Shouldn’t the pipeline have failed unless the functional tests passed?

Generalizations that are oversimplified to the point of lacking all nuance are probably untrue because there are bound to be exceptions. Instead, try including ‘many’, ‘most’, or such as an easy remedy.

Specifically, landlords can create value when they handle property management and maintenance (and the related costs) efficiently. It is wrong that greed has made that so rare.

The affidavit does not mention the full list of influencers […]

Well, why not? Name and shame all of them.

FTOP:

keeping a list of more than 2,800 influencers world wide […] to monitor and potentially groom

You want to persecute the victims? These people are being targeted by the Russian state and probably haven’t done anything wrong. They should be protected from that, and also from those who are too quick to judge before they understand the situation.
