How is this not illegal in the EU?

It depends what they’re tweaking and why. For example, a lot of stuff is tweaked to become “Roundup ready,” and facilitating the mass use of glyphosate is dangerous.

You’re right: plastic is just as recyclable now as it was before.

Which is to say, it continues to largely fail to be recyclable.

Yet again, low-density exclusionary zoning causing car-dependency (which is why the “third spaces” you’re talking about have all-but disappeared) is revealed as the root cause of almost every problem we have.

“Longtime party insiders” whining about him is how you can tell he’s good.

He"s using synecdoche, saying “DNC” when he means “the majority of prominent Democrats.” You’re speaking specifically about the actual DNC. That’s why you’re disagreeing even though you’re both right.

Not economic decline; spiraling inequality. Which is even worse, in some important ways.

If they do this, it is further confirmation that we are actually living in a fascist state.

Well of course, but they’re a roaring success for the people the instigators of the policies actually give a shit about.

Could very well be. I’m using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

I read an article once about a guy who grew up in a poor rural area in the US that changed my opinion a bit. He talked about how progressive and left leaning people want to help the poor and uneducated, but typically only in major city centers.

I think I know the article you’re talking about (although I’m having a hard time finding it again), but I don’t think that’s quite what it said.

It’s more like progressives are perceived by rural people as not wanting to help them, because the type of help they offer is assistance in moving or retraining or otherwise changing in order for their lives to improve. This is because the progressives understand (correctly) that the jobs that used to sustain the small towns are never coming back, regardless of how much the rural people want them to.

The writer then pointed out (also correctly) that this “elitist” approach was not effective in solving the problem.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember what the author’s conclusion/recommendation of a better strategy was.

We’ve been doing the same policies since Reagan and they continue to fail and continue to be doubled down on.

You say “fail” as if they aren’t working exactly as intended.

Why is The Telegraph using “pc” instead of “%”?

It seems high as Lemm.ee had 1k daily active users for the last week.

What’s the count from the week before the shutdown announcement?

Ah, so that’s where chupacabras come from.

Look up the story of the Citycorp Center in Manhattan; that’s always a fun one.

Time is a cube!

Yeah, it’s only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

Check the part about misinformation.
