It was the smartphone that completely ruined the internet. Once everyone was connected 24/7 it became the ultimate eternal September.

The "allowed" aspect that you're ignoring is about punishment. Some walkouts are punished while others aren't, based on ideology.

You recall incorrectly, as he was using that example in the bible as to why you don't follow a literal interpretation.

-Slow down a bit to create another buffer. Now you've just created a shockwave traffic jam.

Slowing down on a busy highway does not reduce turbulence at all, it add chaos and unpredictability to the system. Once car suddenly slowing down to create a buffer zone causes the car behind to slow more and more and can often lead to a st

Is the capability of these explosives at a safe level if the liquid precursors are less than 3.5 fl ounces? If they are still capable of blowing a hole in the fuselage with less than 3.5 fl ounces then the limits on fluids are still pointle

I would say that many of those cheap goods are simply trash that people buy impulsively that either collects in their homes or ends up in landfills in a short period of time. Fast fashion being a well known one, where people buy lots of che

Sounds like they're using the excuse of the tariffs to overcharge. They would pay the tariffs on their wholesale costs when they import. If they're then passing the same tariff % to the customer at their retail price then they&#x2

So you started out your hiring practices focused solely on one race...and you don't think it's racist?

by lordloki 2y ago
Or all the people that you assumed were racist are really just upset about these racist policies.

by lordloki 2y ago
Your entire argument is the No True Scotsman fallacy, so it's rather ironic for you to accuse others of it.

by lordloki 2y ago
Accusations of racism were always a lie used simply to silence those who said it was a lab leak. Our governments failed us, lied to us, censured us, and demonized those who didn't bend the knee.

They weren't punished by the law though, they were debanked in an era where you need to use the banks to eat, pay rent and to merely survive. That is above and beyond any legal punishment. It is economic banishment and it is se excessi

So you support abusive authoritarianism, but only when it's from your side?

With the way that most of these algorithms use views/clicks/listens to promote the material, this could have been an attempt to find an actual human market.

Additional government regulations will always require additional resources by a business to be compliant. By over regulating, the government is killing small businesses. The only organizations that can afford the resources to manage governm

I used to be able to approve my duo notifications from my Garmin when I had an Android phone, but that functionality isn't available when using an iPhone. I found out recently that you can still do that from an apple watch on an iPhone
