Even if it was. Why would a support forum for a tv/movie collection app need to *age verify* any potential users?
Probably but it would be virtually impossible to implement

I’m not Zelensky and I can’t speak to his mind - clearly he is smarter and more resilient than either of us which is part of the reason why Ukraine has continued to outperform expectations against a numerically and materially stronger enemy - and one backed by China. I would think though: 1. Zelensky recognizes that...
So then what is his plan? Ukraine is losing a classified number of troops each month. They can't convince their young people to stay and fight, and raising the conscription age is deeply unpopular. They can't convince any “allies” to send combat troops to bolster their numbers. Their biggest ally cannot be depended...

I too am old enough to remember when facts and logic were standard parts of the discourse. Let's meet up soon and laugh about the old days.
Gas prices have dropped around ten percent. But that is really all that much compared to how some people are acting. (Namely the president).

Smaller sites aren’t effected. It’s only social media sites.
Most sites impacted in Australia seem to be using AI tools to estimate age as to not frustrate or interrupt adult experiences. But that won't be the case for people newly-turned 18 with no account history. Moreover, if you expand the scope of Australias ban - many other smaller sites simply cannot afford age-tools.

CA, OR, and WA require cleaner fuel that’s more expensive to make.
Doesn't cover the whole price difference. Gas tax is less than a dollar combining fed and a state tax like CA for example. It's a $2 difference a lot of times so tax is only half of it if you're being generous.

Against a much stronger opponent. That was the humiliating defeat that convinced Hitler the red army was pathetic and to launch batbarossa. And if he had sane strategic goals it probably would have worked, but his goals were 'the oil fields, and everything else'.

So, if the algorithm boosted news that Trump incited Jan.6 or was trying to overturn the 2020 election? The issue is, who decides what the truth is? If you don't see that, then you aren't really thinking deeply enough.
How it could be abused if Meta and X could be held liable for all the dumb shoot their algorithms boost?

Keep in mind that a large reason that most aren't using VPNs is that most people are complete morons when it comes to technology.

You can object, but you cannot control the narrative. Attempting to police his reputation is pure folly. Labels will be applied liberally regardless. You may cry about it.
it's a fair, and the only point. "objectively" doesn't even enter in to it. if the people want him and what he's doing, then regardless of what he does it by definition cannot be traitorous.

There can be complications with any surgery but yes it’s a minor surgery even if you say it’s not. And for the vast majority of people there are no complications. To act like just getting circumcised will cause “loss of sensation and loss of function” is greatly exaggerating it. And of course there are minor benefits ...
I strongly disagree, it is not minor cosmetic surgery and does not have benefits, which are debunked, that come anywhere close to outweighing the drawbacks and risks. There is loss of sensation, loss of function, and risks of complications that include death. Ideology and cultural normalization is the driving justifi...

It would be the easiest handwave in history to simply declare “defend Taiwan” as on obvious defensive operation for Japan as well and it would be deemed perfectly legal.
The Japanese Self Defense Force is legally forbidden by Japan's constitution from conducting offensive operations. Defending Taiwan is an offensive operation. If they did that, they'd be violating the constitution. I'm willing to take bets on whether the government of Japan explicitly ignores their own constitutional m...

If Trump was some supervillain like you're talking about, he could just cut intelligence and military support completely. No, its just that America doesn't want to be any part of this war while simultaneously not want Ukraine to fall which is obviously a tricky thing to do
You can’t trust anything Putin says, he wants **all** of Ukraine. Even if “peace” was agreed upon, Putin would endlessly claim Ukraine are violating the ceasefire as justification to keep attacking.

That phrase, while pithy and worthy of a chuckle, is completely meaningless. You can’t take someone seriously if you don’t know what their position is. The left takes his literally and seriously. Meaning they think seriously he will do the things he says he will do. The right apparently thinks he will do the things...
The left takes Trump literally, the right takes him seriously, but no one actually knows what crazy shit he’ll pull next At this point I’ll take any win we can get and a harder line against Russia and their proxies is definitely win in my book 🤷

The Australia system requires you to submit to highly invasive age verification by submitting your bank info, a facial scan or government ID.

Is that how France is specifically doing it? Because there was this same outrage about the Australian ban, but in reality it isn't how that's been implemented. It's basically just asking for social media, who already know roughly how old you are, to boot u16s off when identified.

Trump just wants to be *seen* to be doing something. Cutting off intelligence and military support doesn’t do that and he would look like he’s abandoned them. He wants the glory of being able to say he ended the war between Russia and Ukraine. He doesn’t really give a fuck who wins, but Putin has got his hand rammed u...
If Trump was some supervillain like you're talking about, he could just cut intelligence and military support completely. No, its just that America doesn't want to be any part of this war while simultaneously not want Ukraine to fall which is obviously a tricky thing to do

Instead of thinking about killing people you really should take some time to learn how the economy works.
In this scenario I’m substituting bananas for money and monkeys for people. The point I’m trying to make is that the billionaires and trillionaires are vastly outnumbered by the poor, and it would be relatively easy for us to rise up and kill them then redistribute the wealth.

Bro, gas prices are down in the west coast of Vancouver. Before carbon tax it was $1.75, after carbon tax was removed it became 1.50. Then it steadily dropped between $1.39 to $1.45 a litre
Gas prices are down (except for the West Coast). Those ones are high from regulations not supply. I promise you the oil companies are not happy with the current price of oil.

No… it’s population control. Not joking they cut the internet to encourage sex. They are in a population spiral (guess why!) and they think reducing options for activities in evening will help to create a boom.
Russia cutting mobile internet at night has been happening recently and is not a special occurrence. It is a drone defense measure that is also used by Ukraine.

Other comments already described it, but many navies have the ability to resupply subs with both overt navy vessels and random "logistics vessels" that happen to have other designations. And being detected isn't always important since the whole thing with a sub is whether it can remain undetected, or more accurately, ...
Yes I agree with your argument and I’m open to the possibility and that’s why I’m interested in the « how do you pull this off without being detected ». Because so far it’s a lot of hand waving about motivation.

For CA that's 61 cents, for Washington it's 59 cents. Federal tax is 18 cents.
