laugh like i said you're a bootlicker. the idea that apple controls the software the owners of the device can install is mind bogglingly insane.

in your head:

• apple creates device
• an individual buys device
• apple can still dictate what the individual does with the device they purchased.

insane

no they can't because their head is so far up apples ass they dont see the problems and how those other platforms are also similarly problematic.

yes, they in fact are the same.

SCOTUS disagreed with you re: android. and its not their platform, we're discussing allowing stores/application to be installed on the users devices without apple interfering/collecting rent for doing nothing.

the reason apple is offering to do it at 15% (matching what google had to do) is because they realizing how much they fucked up with the first pass they did at 27% and that they're likely to lose in front of SCOTUS.

facts:

• apple will not be materially harmed by allowing 3rd party stores to be installed. neither in profits or due to being the 'default' store. losing a small percentage of store rent seeking profits will not effect their bottom line.
• literally nothing apple argued in front of the courts for how they situation is different is relevant to antitrust laws or would be impacted.

its unlikely SCOTUS will overturn this result and apple is trying to buy their way out of the situation now because they know it. In short, not even apple believes your nonsense stance on the issue.

hell, even moronic republicans in florida disagree with you.

Man poor cuba living rent free in these morons heads.

So much fun to read this! thanks!

take your time, think it through. maybe you'll figure out the point.

Here, I opened the book (research paper) for you. and look! violence was involved in the successful outcomes!

especially in light of the enduring violent insurgencies occurring in some of the same countries—begs systematic investigation.

In many cases, both nonviolent and violent campaigns exist simultaneously among different competing groups.

you can't isolate the non-violent campaigns from the violent campaigns in such an analysis, they're part of the same environment.

I'll also note that the research paper doesnt clearly identify how they generated their numbers. the underlying dataset they used is enitrely absent. so we can't make any inferences on how well they actually isolated and calculated their values.

in short: doesnt show its work.

biden should pardon him; whats one more pardon for a criminal with a gun after the first one?

Its Israel and Zionist bullshit as usual. Why are you surprised?

The immigrants aren’t taking our jobs. They’re doing the work “we” don’t want to do. Agriculture. Janitorial. Construction. Stuff like that.

partially false, they're working under conditions we technically have employment laws against. longer hours, no recourse against management, etc. it helps suppress wages across the board. This include higher paying jobs like software development, nursing, doctors, etc.

No they certainly shouldn't go to church. The next thing they'll be doing is beheading people for wearing the wrong color socks. They need a therapist not a preacher.
