Disclaimer: didn’t read the article yet.

But surely someone can’t commit such a huge fraud alone. Nobody at Saigon Commercial Bank is involved or culpable for loaning that amount to a fraudster?

Fair enough

I think it’s a common argument that’s been made by Hitchens and Steven Fry too, but you’re right 😁

Looking at the pain and suffering in the world, any god that is not only capable of stopping that, but is by definition the one that made things this way, the only logical conclusion is he’s evil, Abrahamic or otherwise

There is no god, but if there was one, the only logical conclusion is that he’s evil. So whatever you call it, your religion is the most sane one I’ve ever heard about

I get your point about how it compares relatively. But I beg to differ that $100 billion is not a lot of money

We need a GDPR equivalent, but US politicians aren’t interested in protecting individuals

It can, if you’re drinking seriously large amounts, but one of the most dangerous drugs in this regard? I have no scientific background in this but I’m skeptical there aren’t worse drugs in that regard

Wow. I have never seen this happen on Reddit.

By far. French food is the most overrated thing I’ve come across. It’s so bad I feel like it must be a joke everyone is in on. But I like France anyway

I might have to donate to this. Awesome project

Good point, I didn’t think about that aspect

As ridiculous as this law is, it seems like the article makes out that not being able to get divorced means more domestic violence but I don’t quite understand the implication. You can still move out/leave whether a piece of paper says you’re married or not, right?

H returned to the house she shared with her abuser, sleeping in her child’s room on the floor and continuing to face violence

Why did she return? So if she was told she could get divorced would she have returned?

I fully agree with your sentiment, but I don’t think blocking VPNs and having different content per region is all about your telemetry data. It’s mainly about content rights. They can’t always get deals to show the content in any region, or it may be much more expensive than buying it for one region.

I hate it as much as anyone, but the streaming companies don’t have full rights to all the content and that’s what needs to change to reach the same experience as music streaming.

Kayak lets you filter by aircraft when searching too

That’s why he’s never buying one again. He’s buying 737 MAXes now

Why do you need to know? Just track the weights you put on, ignore the bar/machine

I wish I could be like you 😫

By big multipack I meant like 12, 18, 24, not 4

An IPTV service is probably going to be the best way to watch live. If you can wait a bit and not watch live, smcgill is the man
