Putting "I have nothing to hide" to the test. Let's see how it shakes out.

But remember, people said "I have nothing to hide".

The EU really needs to become a nation. Selling nationalities to the highest bidder is bullshit. Just because you're rich shouldn't give you more rights than other people. You have to go through the same procedures as everybody else. If the procedures take to long, then something should be done that improves it for everybody, not a select few.

The authorities have no plan on how to deal with the situation.

Legalise it, make it available from certified/controlled, reputable locations, provide guidance and information on what the drugs are, their effects, recommended dosage, dangers, and where to get help in case of issues (addiction or otherwise). Consumers should be able to know what they're buying, whether the seller is certified, and who produced it. Sellers could even have a legal obligation to check the product before sale.

For especially addictive drugs, make them available only with a prescription or some other kind of legal hurdle e.g it must be taken under supervision of a trained professional in a known safe area. And of course add an age limit to those drugs that have proven, strong, adverse effects on development.

It will take work, research, and time, but I'm certain it will be better than the current system.Better for users, dealers, law enforcement, and society.

People looked at me wide-eyed when I said "I hope the US votes for Trump" and explained he would finally force the world to decouple from that anti-democratic oligarchy. But they were too addicted to USAian products to listen. When such articles come around, my glee increases.

Fuck you very much Trump. And thank you.

Nah, they'll use proprietary EU software instead. That'll solve everything. Promise ;)

What does that mean? More public transport?

It's the concept, not the individual steps.

Gleichschaltung is a compound word that comes from the German words gleich (same) and schaltung (circuit) and was derived from an electrical engineering term meaning that all switches are put on the same circuit allowing them all to be activated by throwing a single master switch.[4] Its first use is credited to Reich Justice Minister Franz Gürtner.[5] It has been variously translated as "coordination",[6][7][8] "Nazification of state and society",[9] "synchronization",[5] and "bringing into line".

Every country requires different steps, so you can't copy paste them. Germany was (and still is) a multi-party democracy using plurality voting. Some of the institutions are the same, but not all. Nazification has to be tailored to the system. One important step is to replace opposition at every level. If you haven't noticed, the US is in the middle of a coordinated cleansing at federal level right now.

That I happen to understand a bit. Something about forceful returns of "illegal immigrants", in this case to Mexico by "ICE". Dunno what it stands for but I know IRS stands for Internal Revenue Services. So ICE = Internal Control Eh... Internal Crime Ejection?

OK, had to look it up. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. I'll never remember that without the "a" in between. IaCE

 
 

Due to recent events in the USA, there has been discussion against becoming a citizen by being born in that country.

Generally, is the a problem with jus soli and what is the alternative?

 
 

From Zuckerberg sinking our brains to Bezos making us completely dependent on him with Amazon, tech nerds have done MUCH too much damage and they have to be stopped...

Full 1h special: DOWN WITH TECH

 

I don't think I've seen one. Most of them are male. What's going on?

 

You're still giving them lots of money. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Burger King, KFC, Mc Donalds, Netflix, ..

 

Say it were implemented in this world and you could say anything you like (written, spoken, signed whatever) to anyone who can hear/read/see it. What kind of problems could that create and are there any ways to resolve them without limiting that absolute free speech?

Could it even create unsolvable logical errors? E.g an omnipotent god can't create a stone too heavy for itself to lift. Maybe there are similar things with absolute free speech.

 

Almost four years after our reporting on the games industry's unseen crunch at outsourcing studios in SE Asia, Chris received an email that demanded we return to this story once again.

Mark Zuckerberg has decided to add community notes over fact checkers and has gone full 'free speech' bro. This will help nobody but him and few others, but AUNTS (and others) will be affected. What do you think...

I don't really understand. The code isn't open-source, the profiles are private by default, and... that's it? A private short video platform?
