No it’s not. Ofcom has no jurisdiction to make a US company do anything. The Internet is a global marketplace. If the UK wants to remove itself from this marketplace, like it did from the EU, it will need to do the blocking itself. But Ofcom knows what the government blocking access to information looks like and they don’t have the balls to do it.

One time I wrote a screed into a turbo tax feedback form on how they are an awful business and no one responded except that they refunded my money.

Oh haha

You should be able to make a friendly competitive bet with your mates or coworkers or even strangers without getting in trouble. I am even fine with businesses facilitating this with apps or whatever. But I don't think anyone should be able to bet so much that it could make it hard for their social financial obligations to be met (taxes, rent/mortgage, utility bills, child support, etc). Otherwise society ends up having to help feed, house, clothe, rehab these people. You are giving people the choice to substantially wealth and at worst be saved by the social safety net, many people would take that bet.

Why do they need a museum dedicated to back stabbing?

Not sure about this. I am high functioning autistic. It ended my game because I called my mom and that was somehow overly taxing. I call my parents and sibling sometimes when I feel drained emotionally. Not everyone hates communicating with their family.

can't? lol. more like doesn't want to. not everyone in the world shares your personal values.

by labor pool you mean foreign labor paid under the table at slave wages w/o benefits or tax collection who meanwhile use US ERs as primary care doctors and US schools to feed and watch their kids for them.

Kayfabe all around.

Late night has been dying for a decade. Disney gets cover to end the show.

Kimmel knows it’s over. He gets to go down looking like he’s fighting instead of unentertaining.

Trump gets to claim he took down Kimmel, red meat for his base.

News and Social Media gets something to boost their numbers.

Unfortunate. Europe, it seems to me, would be one of the more useful places on Earth to have this technology since there are so many languages in use. It could even strengthen European cultural heritage by allowing everyone to speak in their native language day-to-day instead of converging everything to English.

A hand saw, an axe, or hammer are designed to be effective not safe. the only reason computers are treated differently is because they present avenues for control of the consumer that can be presented under the guise of safety. ill keep myself safe tyvm

i tried it. went well! we are invading poland next quarter.

umm thats the issue in most startups. code has docs. product fit does not.

no, the psyop is getting the public to believe a single wave to a crowd is anything more than that.

People pay for the $5 pill themselves or find a tall, tall bridge.

Legalizing medically assisted suicide is fine. w/e

Forcing others to contribute to funding and carrying it out through taxes is not.

It should only be offered when patients ask for it. Some sick people are already depressed and feel like a burden we shouldn't put ideas in their heads.

Keep your phone. All you have to do is say no to digital for:

- money - tickets - identification

They cannot force everyone to own and buy a phone.

Democracy is a form of government, not an ideology. Just because +50% of an electorate thinks something is OK, doesn't make it so.

Ofcom's only card now is to have UK ISPs block 4chan. When that happens will Starlink comply? maybe. what if they block X? could get messy fast.

The function these satellites serve is 1000x more valuable than the cost of inconveniencing a few astronomers.

Rural communities are being enriched all over the world through high speed internet access.

way too expensive for its size and capability

I don't like vaccines and its hard to say why. I was vaccinated as a child and I am fine. My wife and I fully vaccinate our kids per doctor's recommendation. I guess you could say I trust the doctors advice more than my silly gut feeling.

However I can articulate that:

I don't like that vaccine makers get special immunity from lawsuits.

I don't like that pediatricians get payouts from big pharma based in what percentage of their practice received their vaccine products.

I don't like that the definition of a vaccine was changed to accommodate the mRNA COVID shots while other valid treatments that already existed were pushed aside to enable the emergency use authorization.

It's just enough to give me the ick, but their benefit is generally obvious so I hold my nose.

the last time i tried to use this i had to email some dude at my local station, send him my banking details, and then wait for it to start working. basically they just set me up as a normal donor.

no option to change or cancel online. i wonder if its any better now.

Prices for yesterday's frontier models will fall but there will always be the next big model. similar to how game graphics get ever better but ever more demanding at the bleeding edge.

if only their batteries would last that long.

i never made chrome my daily driver. firefox and safari are wonderful browsers.

call me whatever you want. i know who i am

It was probably called 12 different names over the eons, so why does it matter so much what we call it now? More English speaking people know what Easter Island is. So the woke part is where they confuse the majority of the audience on purpose in service of a political point. I hope that helps! <3

Are there any 'old fashioned' cod in captivity or maybe stored DNA samples? Maybe Collosal could splice the missing genes back in and bring them back into the gene pool.

It is hilarious to me to be reading about city folk being amazed at a few coyotes and an owl. In Nebraska coyotes are vermin and you shoot them on sight if they are on your farm for all the trouble and danger they can cause. We used to go out on the property and call them for target practice.

edit: lol at the downvotes, welcome to the real world?
