How dare you post this without any link @[email protected]

Edit: Looks a bit different today, how could have a last post 2 years ago in the OP but have a last post here just over 1 year ago?

"Burning down the UK" like introducing a massive renter's rights bill?

Could be a bit of warmth coming from those cables, too, clever nesting mama.

Lol people said that about Nick Clegg.

Ah fair, I assumed it was maybe 3 phase + N power cables lol

The clever part is drawing the parallel between two unrelated things, to draw on the recipient's emotions about one of them and entice them to compare why they feel differently about the other.

Somewhat manipulative, perhaps, but only in the way that explaining things manipulates someone into understanding.

There were people around the globe who knew about the nsa before Edward Snowden and told the truth.

There was a whole fucking Will Smith movie about it in the late 90s. With Gene Hackman, and young Jack Black and Seth Green. Enemy of the State.

But yeah that wasn't proof, either. But it was the closest to people shouting on the rooftops that this kind of thing was, in fact, happening.

I mean he did coin/popularise the phrase "Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

I'm happy to do that, but without any update notification a new update will likely go unnoticed for some time.

It's sad how few people have ad blocking.

With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.

Sounds like corporate speak for "this cow is never working with us again".

It isn't about protecting children. It's about exploiting adults.

A majority of people, both children and adults, will successfully be exploited by this. Even if it is eventually repealed (which is unlikely, there are businesses set up dependent on this - we can't deny investors their profits!), it's already happening now.

On the subject of ownership, Peacock claimed that video games being licensed to consumers, rather than sold, was not a new phenomenon, and that “in the 1980s, tearing the wrapping on a box to a games cartridge was the way that gamers agreed to licensing terms.”

This is absolute bullshit and not at all how it works, now or back in the 1980s. You can't agree to terms without seeing them first, and even then such agreements aren't necessarily legally binding. For someone who is supposed to write laws, she should be removed from office for showing such gross incompetence.

Fuck off with your device based verification system. That's just the same service, but as a more invasive app installed on your phone.

Instead of scanning a face or ID and uploading it to a service, we're expected to run unverified closed source code on the device we carry everywhere in our pockets?!

You get a discount depending on how you scan.

I would be faster, if the tills didn't have a bloody delay after placing the item in the bag, before it will scan the next one.

Did you give up making clever posts as well?

^Sorry^ ^I^ ^couldn't^ ^resist^

That's also the life hack to getting treatment though, be it male or female. Always say your partner made you go in.

Exactly. I remember reading an article about a Nazi who was tried in the UK, apparently Winston Churchill himself vehemently defended this guy because he was a Nazi who fought the Soviets, and Churchill really hated the Soviets. He pushed hard for the charges to be dismissed, had his life sentence reduced to a few decades, and then eventually had his sentence commuted so he was released. I found this article around the time that the main guy behind the Nuremberg trials, Benjamin Ferencz, passed away, however when I went searching for the article a couple months later it was nowhere to be found.

I suspect the article was deleted under Wiki's general rule where they don't like having articles about individuals, and instead prefer articles about events. However this individual's story was the event, and this could have been an excuse by those looking to colour Churchill's history how they felt it should be presented.

Let's not forget, it took years for Wikipedia to even notice Neelix, the Wikipedia admin who made over 80,000 pages/links about titties.

It's only a monopoly in that it's so much more popular than everything else that's come along, and the main reason for that is because it's better than competitors. Most others are just publisher stores, and almost all have functionality that users disagree with.

In the OP article, the game distribution platform Rokky is also apparently a publisher store, having recently bought the rights to distribute Chinese games in the west.
