  • This seems poorly thought out, there are kids on twitch. This is just asking to be regulated.

  • But then the streamers would have to compete with thousands of other actual sex workers. Making it harder to stand out.

  • I murdered 50 people. But then I found Jesus, so I'm going to heaven. This is fair.

  • One Piece is great, but it is a big investment. Worth it IMO. If you're not sure, watch the Netflix live action. It's only 8 episodes and is pretty faithful to the original.

  • The Netflix Live action One Piece didn't even cover all of the East Blue Saga, which ran from 1997 to 1999 originallly.

  • Yes.

    As appealing as going completely off-grid is in an idealistic kind of way, I still have to function in modern sOcIeTy, which requires me to make some compromises. If you know of any quality phones that aren't controlled by any big tech companies, let me know.

    I've heard of the Fairphone, unfortunately it's not sold in the US.

  • Why, again? It seemed like it was still super popular with fans and the public.

  • He also pronounces the "i" the same in both words. So I guess it's because of his Finnish accent? Hey OP! We have your answer!

  • I thought of that meme when making my original comment lol

  • If that's the case, maybe he's addressed why they are pronounced differently.

  • English doesn't make sense because it's been influenced by so many other languages. I'm not sure of the etymology of Linux and Linus, but I would guess that they have different roots.

  • Save your concern for the actual locked up people on shitty minor drug possession charges in the US.

    I am concerned about that too, but it's not the topic of the article.

  • It seems like there's a lot of contradictions in this case.

    1. No, a murderer shouldn't get to keep the murder weapon, because it's obviously evidence in the trial. I don't think his luxury assets are evidence in the crime. (Unless he was smuggling girls in the trunk of his car, but it doesn't sound like that's why they were confiscated.)
    2. If someone was charged with murder, they shouldn't be released until after the trial because they could be a danger to other people. Tate was released, hasn't been found guilty, yet the authorities are taking a bunch of his stuff.
  • Or it could be for civil forfeiture kind of abuse of authority.

    That's what I was thinking, but I'm not an expert on the Romanian legal system either.

  • they are 100% confiscated when judged guilty

    Yeah, and that's fine. But he hasn't had his trial yet so hasn't been found guilty, was my concern.

  • Romanian authorities seized 15 luxury cars, 14 designer watches and cash in several currencies. The vehicles included a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, a Porsche, a BMW, an Aston Martin and a Mercedes-Benz. Authorities said the assets were worth an estimated 3.6 million euros ($3.9 million).

    A trial date hasn’t been confirmed. The case is still being discussed in the preliminary chamber stages

    I know people don't like Andrew Tate, but this seems kind of fucked. They're just keeping him locked up without a trial and taking his stuff? If this happened to a black man in the US people would be pissed.
