Condos are also generally a scam. Owning real estate but not the land under it is to become a victim of incredibly perverse economic motives.

Sounds like fraudulent conveyance.

What am I conflating? No one is required to go to Twitter. They are occasionally required to go near the town square, and they tolerate Nazis in their face even there. I don't see something particularly novel here.

Not really, your premise isn't always accurate. Prosecutors will sometimes force such order agreement to drop or plead charges, even when the 'victim' believes the perp is innocent and wants to be with them. There are also a

The people seeking the restraining order are victims as well, sold a lie by the justice system and lawyers. Almost anything bad a restraining order seeker is trying to prevent is already illegal. Meanwhile loads of innocent people have the

Before Twitter the nazis would go to the town square of Jew filled towns and march. Americans have been dealing with this for ages and found it legally tolerable.

Restraining orders convey dubious benefits and arguably produce more harm than good.

It's the same on HN. If you say something controversial with a conclusion people dislike but debatable it will be disproven then downvoted. If the undesirable comment can be greyed out or the writer discredited they'll allow the

Basically every free person in the US can get a 26,000 lb truck or a semi auto rifle in under an hour. Germany has taken the other approach and implemented policies to make their country closer to a prison with all kind of harsher regulatio

Unless you have hard requirements the visa is worked around easy enough. If you don't work you stay off the radar in most countries. If you are flexible some countries accept criminal reports from your local sheriff/police, whic

The reason floating crypto isn't viable as a domestic currency is it's a taxable capital gains/loss event every transaction, and not directly useful in paying those taxes. A recordkeeping nightmare, intentionally created by

The ironic consequence of this is eventually if you want to use big tech for messaging privacy you'll be forced to basically pick one under the jurisdiction of an enemy non-extradition state like Russia or China. Sure their government

Fgc-9 jams more frequently than a Glock. The barrel and ballistics were found to be near that of a Glock at least at lower round counts. Functionally it is a 9mm pistol which is what most law enforcement carry in my country. It is large

They don't need to sell the database, just the video that builds the database. Or give it away for free and magically number go up in some bank account in Cyprus or Hong Kong.

Mass surveillance played out privately means every plated cop car can be tracked, every noted confidential informant and every detective, tax stasi, etc can be traced. This is already becoming the case on networked mapping apps where the

I'm reminded of ceausescu. Everyone agreed, up until they suddenly didn't and he and his wife didn't even seem to get it until they were lined up and shot. I think it takes both agreement and desperation for that kind of thi

Yes this seems variable based on point of entry. I had (have?) a flagged passport for awhile and I never got the oh shit face from CBP until they scanned my passport.

I'm of the opposite opinion,that recording is a liberty and the right to mass record and identify people is a healthy sign of private free speech rights. I feel banning it would be dystopic. Where I disagree is the use of government a

You have no right to privacy in public. If you make this illegal private companies will do it instead, and the first amendment makes that impossible to stop.

The government is far more likely to go along with a ruling expanding central power than reducing overall power IMO.

That's a good point. Still if the agreement is to lease to people oppressed by the US government they may agree to it. IIRC racism etc in housing is not illegal on an Indian Reservation so they might agree to certain classes of peopl

Seems like there's a huge possibility here for Indian reservations to lease land on generous terms, like allowing manufactured housing. Whenever I pass reservations near major cities they are chalk full of stuff the city would never ap

Cost me 30k to build my house last year. No codes, no architect, no engineers, no licenses, and planning was a square on a map. Drink a Busch light, execute next step. Life is good. This is the way in my county, we found out codes, design
