  • I am not hating on Americans here. You did say I could not Google though, which is just plain wrong.

  • They make a North American event and call it the World Series. Hence North America is the whole world. QED.

  • As if I did not use a search engine to find the result about automatic transmission fluid just to make a point. Funny you try to belittle me for not being able to understand what the post wrote when what actually happened here was that my point went straight over your head. To put it in plain words for you: I understand the post is about the US. OP talks like the US is everything, like many people from the US do, and the stupidity of it is tiring.

  • Provide them housing. It is effective and cheap in the sense that it can help a lot of people get back on their feet, which is worth a lot of taxes besides the basic human decency. Remember this until the next time you vote.

  • You mean ATF as in the automatic transmission fluid? No it was not explicitly US centric. You thinking a three letter acronym has to be about the US is just further evidence of the same assumption being the basis for all your thoughts.

  • You install Hannah Montana Linux on their cars and their spouses.

  • Obviously, Brailsford was found not guilty by an infallible jury after all.

  • Yes, but they also have a huge monopoly on communities that are hard to build up again on new platforms. Especially problematic is that many use it as forums, but all the information is not indexed on search engines, so you have no choice but to have an account and join a community to see what info is available. These communities are going to be held hostage and subjected to tons of anti-features going forward so the capitalists can get return on their investments.

    I am not saying every business will give a positive ROI, I am saying many shitty things will be done to assure it. Even if ROI is positive, shitty choices will be made in an attempt to make it higher. That is a result of capitalism.

  • I have basically disabled all input settings in the app and configure the input before it reaches Discord for consistency. Still it sometimes messes up things amazingly.

  • That depends on the time frame considered. Short term loss is often used as an excuse to lay people off for long time gains.

    EDIT: Purges like these also often target people they want to get rid off, but legally can not otherwise fire. Such as old people.

  • They do, group video calls are implementing Jitsi.

  • They are just using an implementation of Jitsi for the time being. Long story short: Yes, but they are still working on it.

  • Uhm, they are getting laid off to increase profit margin, or at the very least so that the CEO can say so at the next shareholder meeting. Do not confuse a workplace with private ownership, that is capitalism.

  • Sorry to say it, but it has always sucked.

  • That person probably also think people who get shot are stupid for not moving out of the bullet's path. "It is not so hard, it moves in a straight line you idiots".

  • We have this many places in Europe. The police are not even allowed to wear guns in Norway (and frankly do not need them) unless there is some special intelligence or something making a reason for it. That does not absolve the need for state controlled monopoly on violence. It only means that is should be limited and wielded with the utmost care.

  • Oof you think the US is superior.

  • Private security companies earn a monthly fee for patrolling neighborhoods and providing armed response to their clients’ alarm systems. They also offer tracking and car recovery services, which often results in them getting involved in high-speed chases of car thieves and hijackers.

    Emphasis mine. How does getting payed from a private individual give you access to armed responses to anything? If that is legal no wonder why the police is failing at maintaining the law.
