As of today a large amount of countries, representing around 4.5 billion people including the largest economies in the world are pushing for some sort of age verification requirement.

But that does not mean they are also pushing laws that hold the website responsible if someone connects through a VPN.

So the US continues to encourage businesses to operate elsewhere. Tired of winning yet?

The gerrymandering works because there are still enough people voting for them. Those people need to be inconvenienced.

If companies are blocking Utah they are already showing they have no interest in doing business in Utah so who cares if Utah charges them?

China can charge me because I said “Winnie the Pooh” in a post and a citizen might read it and might think I’m referencing dear leader, doesn’t mean I have to give a fuck or do anything about it.

My housing complex has a 10km/hr speed limit, it is completely unenforceable (police aren’t going to put in a speed trap or monitor a road inside a housing complex). Doesn’t stop people getting all upset because they’re sure someone was going 15.

I don’t think it’s has anything to do with a horseshoe when they are just becoming a dictatorship as well. It’s just a line at that point.

Utah can charge me with whatever the fuck they want. If I’m not in Utah or doing business with Utah and ignore them what are they doing to do about it?

If China decides my posts are a crime because one of their citizens might see it I am in no way obligated to go to China to defend myself or pay their fines.

They want people who are too desperate to be able to have gaps on their resume.

The Orange one has demonstrated how useless the system is at dealing with him. It doesn’t matter what the next guy says, everyone has seen that the guy after that can just blatantly ignore the rules again, tear up and ignore agreements, and nothing will stop him.

That’s the real problem. The promises and signed agreements of America mean nothing now. I don’t know how you fix that without some serious structural changes and some way of proving those changes will be actually enforced.

Yes, it is not the behaviour of a healthy adult, nor is it something that should be treated as “normal”.
Also: it does not cross the line where a biopic is “disgusting white-washing” as OP claims.

Right, they went from -1 to +1 by recovering the tariff cost twice. (-1 plus 2 is +1)

You can still enjoy the games you are nostalgic for with emulators.

That implies any and all FOSS project should be getting exploited constantly, especially those being run by a community of hobbiests, and that is simply not the case.

AI is a terrible way to learn something. It will do something wrong, explain it incorrectly, and you will have no idea.

AI is only useful if you are able to spot and correct the mistakes it makes. Because it will make mistakes.

Very effective teaching tools already exist if you want to learn.

My point is if you want to hurt Google advertising for them hoping they lose the trademark is not going to do it. Naming whatever alternative search engine you used to spread awareness is much more effective.
