When did I say that?

Shifting from a domain of influence to another domain of influence

Changes are never made overnight for something like this

I would love to read statistics about this. Do you have any pointer I can read?

Spies will find other ways to enter.

This kind of things impact only everyday people. This is kinda the point of this type of measures: the idea is to pressure people to rebel to their governments. But I think Russians are not exactly optimistic this can be done (despite having their fair share of protests that end in Siberians prisons)

Unless there is absolute perfection on one side… I’ll not vote because they are all the same.

Doesn’t matter if this approach favours the widely accepted worst party

I feel the rave/techno scene is like that (at least in Europe)…. And among all my friends that got raped/SA I didn’t heard yet a single one that got raped at a rave/techno party. Not saying it doesn’t happen but it feels much less than “socially respectable” parties, ex boyfriends, friends of friends, etc.

I wonder if it is because people that are attracted by that scene are in a certain way or the community has a strong culture of consent or something else.

But I would love to read if there is any statistical study on correlation between certain “scenes” and sexual abuse… and if there is a rational explanation on the causation

I think the last line could have been replaced with “lol me too” 🙂

1. Totally relevant to the article
2. Still you are saying they limited the invite to wherever they liked

Sometimes it’s easier to ask ai to recreate something you remember rather than finding the original one and reposting it 🤷‍♂️

Not sure how this relates to the net effect of WhatsApp.

Sure, I understand that Meta is not an example of morality but, like elections, it’s not something an individual in isolation can decide

I have and it’s my default and I try to contact people there… still… 90% of the people don’t have it

FB and IG, sure. WhatsApp is not that easy.

In Europe is almost like saying that you don’t have a phone number. 🙄

Barcelona pff… now do it in Oslo! 🤣

Hell yeah! Both parties are the same!

Who doesn’t remember the Obama beans Ponzi scheme?

Or Biden cryptocurrency?

All Democrats are billionaires in fact!

(/s if not obvious)

Look! We have trolls/bots now! 🎉

Fediverse is seriously picking up with the major social networks 😍

Historical fascism wasn’t like that: big companies were watched more closely. Each director board of a large company needed to have at least one representative of the fascist party.

Of course, the question is what you do with that power. And there probably fascism fails the “evil test”

But in principle I think that business (especially big business) should serve the common interest (represented by the state) and not the other way around

Added an edit given it wasn’t clear

I would take the last one… but it seems more the contrary these days

Edit: probably it wasn’t clear: I meant the business part. People are not influencing the state evidently

Not US but the answer is simple.

IDs are a taboo in the US (otherwise the government would interfere with your privacy or something).

So they have

• Passports (too bad that a small percentage of population has)
• Birth certificates (yeah, super secure /s, in practice just a way to bar people that changed their name/surname)
• Driving licenses/liquor id: these are the closest to IDs but technically they are not ID. The proposed changes are exactly for stopping accepting driving licenses
• SSN: don’t even make me started
