Is it? Regular Americans do this all the time. Lots of charities exist that, in part, use money to lobby members of congress. Lots of citizens do this as well. I do.

I have lobbyists that speak on my behalf as a card-carrying member of the ACLU.

So, you need to explain to me why I am not allowed to have someone else speak on my behalf?

Now, to be clear, bribing and other illegal things are still illegal. You need to answer why I am not allowed to have someone else speak on my behalf?

More importantly, why do you want to repeal the First Amendment?

I think the problem is we assume that lobbying is evil. It's not. What we should do is make sure we have stronger ethics reform and not what we have now (which is basically letting anyone get away with anything). But that's not getting rid of lobbying, which is just speaking to the government and addressing concerns.

You call it a cancer. I call it the First Amendment. Anyways, you have questions you need to answer.

Well, other methods haven't worked, such as trying to help or have these discussions. Or relying on science.

> Safety for women is a facet of healthy men.

Unfortunately, men generally don't care about this reasoning.

> ...we should find ways to improve men's mental health.

Unfortunately, men are the ones generally opposed to this. It's a "sign of weakness."

Let's be clear, men work hard to prevent men from improving men's mental health.

I understood from just this. But the demo video impressed even further.

> Spent 30 seconds scrolling down to try to figure out what this is.

Did you try reading the site? Or maybe doing something other than just scrolling?

Does it need some form of subway surfer to get you to pay attention?

> Eventually clicked away from the site because it was taking too long to get to the point.

So yeah... subway surfer. This generation is cooked.

I do. I don't remember that at all. I think you might have some odd definition of completely wrong though.

But please, by all means, share these 100% wrong polls that showed, for example, Trump having 0% chance of winning. Most of the polls I saw were fairly accurate within their margin of error and made it clear the race was tight (which, in the end, it was). And nothing I've seen has changed that, but if you have polls from CNN specifically that you can point to, by all means.

So just because something was a certain way 20 years ago doesn't mean it's still that way today. That would be CRAZY to suggest that.

Chainguard will lie and cheat to put themselves first. Not their customers, but themselves. These are just plain facts.

You can't agree to an embargo and then just ignore it when you feel like it. What other things are you willing to go back on your word for, especially when you know for a fact you are putting people in danger.

> I would never use PHP

That you would trust liars and people who are anti-security is telling.

Belief isn't necessary when you have facts.

Second, if you're right, that's worse.

That's not what the article suggests at all.

The drop is calculated only from those who want to move.

Yes, it's still #1, but the drop that isn't a result of people not wanting to move. Instead, people that want to move are picking the US as the destination a lot less.

The issue, fundamentally with Anthropics announcement is apparently "attribution, not copying."

The Mononoke project sits in a facebook org repo, so i assume it's a Meta project.

So I guess my question is, if it's good for one company, why isn't it good for the other company?

I realize real people work at these companies, but I can't feel sympathy.

Doesn't matter if the damage is already done. Raise dead doesn't exist in the real world. And the courts don't decide things. The executive has proven it will just ignore the courts.

> Republicans are far short of a supermajority in the Senate so nothing passes Congress without Democratic votes

First, this it 100% not true, and secondly, if you ignore congress, it doesn't matter. And once again, the damage is already done by the time congress gets around to it.

> The White House is always singularly partisan by definition, what Democratic counterbalance you expect to see in a Republican White House, or vice versa?

Expect? None. Hope for? Basic respect to the rule of law to start. But with pdf in the white house, all bets are off.

The Government was 100% involved.

One allows you to install different browsers, the other does not.

Being a monopoly isn't illegal (in the US). It's what they do that matters.

Now, that doesn't mean Apple is a monopoly with iOS, because the Sherman act doens't dictate it only looks at US only markets. It look at what makes sense in the context. Of course, a court could decide that regardless of what the numbers are internationall, what matters in this case is just the US market.

Trying to predict that is useless at the moment though because the US courts are all over the place.

With zero threats from government?

The assertion wasn't prices have gone up. The assertion was a 400% increase.

What was your pizza in 2019? under $8?

My local place is $16 for a large pizza. I don't drink an entire pitcher of beer, so I don't know.

Regardless, they've been able to charge that much and stay in business, so maybe you are just living outside your means.

Prove it. I want to see facts, not feelings.

Vibe facts elsewhere.

WTF? A $10 to $40 jump? I haven't seen that anywhere around here, and I don't live in a cheap county, either. This is 100% about where you live and eat. This is not normal at all.

You misunderstand.

There is tipping in restaurants, and then tipping in other places where it's much more traditional to not tip.

While some people don't like restaurant tipping, it's generally the other type of tipping the ruffles feathers. But in those cases, you don't have to tip.

> But tipping is optional

Again, you don't understand. No, tipping is not always optional. It's known and part of the bill in certain circumstances and this is known ahead of time.

> If you don't tip you both help society improve

I don't know, having been to European and American restaurants, I find the American restaurants to be far better at service. Couple that with free refills and other amenities (like again... actually good service), I wouldn't see it as better.
