Yeah, we should still tax it though.

That’s true with many regulations. The quiet part that they’re trying to avoid saying out loud is that behaving ethically and responsibly doesn’t earn them money.

Oh, so just like with the GDPR, cool.

The main character isn’t who you think it is.

It happens to us too, they just have to give longer notice and let us chancel.

Schäuble said “no bailout, period”.

Waiters have told me to please not stack the dishes because it messes with their carrying technique.

Both are true. In a multi party system one party can very well be a strong faction or the strongest one (and cause associated problems) while still losing on “winner takes all” races because the entire rest of the spectrum is strongly opposed to them.

We should still be terrified, because the NSDAP took over the country from that exact position.

Apart from this guy obviously being biased and a super villain: Nobody who held this opinion was ever able to even give me a rough idea of an explanation how it should supposedly damage the economy. The excessively rich don’t spend most of their wealth (which would induce growth through demand), they sit on it and watch it grow. Taxing it takes not a single cent out of the economy.

In this case we’re looking at proposed 2%. The fortunes of the excessively rich grow by 10% and more in a year. So with this tax they would still get richer and richer. Attach another zero to that number, then we’d be getting somewhere.

school kids …

I’ve seen this error three times now, with a few days in between. The first time was right after a fresh install with space age. I don’t have other mods, only the space age ones. Verifying game files in steam fixes it each time.

Hope it’s not because of dying hardware, although I haven’t had issues with other games or software yet.

“A family whose business failed will not just be left to starve” is very different from “nobody needs to work”.

I do want a TV that can access Netflix etc without another box. I just don’t want the surveillance that comes with it.

He made it on his own. 40 Million copies even at 10$ and with steam taking 30% is still 280,000,000$. I honestly don’t think you need to worry for ConcernedApe’s financial situation.

Watch as the EU will proceed to do nothing about it.

Blaming the LLM for it is like blaming a search engine for showing bad results.

Except we give it the glorifying title “AI”. It’s supposed to be far better than a search engine, otherwise why not stick with a search engine (that uses a tiny fraction of the power)?

They are using this to leverage their way into control over your system. They are trying to become the iOS of PC’s, where you can’t install or run anything Microsoft didn’t collect protection money on.

Idk how they could scan e2e encrypted messages

This is about introducing legislation to force messengers to scan / give them access to your chats on your device before encryption / after decryption. Afaik, Signal have already announced they would “pull out of Europe” in this case, however that would look.

But then, shouldn’t the crotch of the suit be black to further improve emission?

Aren’t these suits inflated for pressure, so there’d be an air cushion between the suit and his actual balls? It’d be like kicking an air mattress. Also, why aren’t they both spinning like mad after that maneuver?

(I mean, if we’re making physics jokes … )
