singleshot_··on EU to crack down on TikTok, Instagram's 'addictive design' targeting kids
If you take a look at the top twenty five platforms by users I’m sure you will figure out why this is not relevant.

Worth noting: in the EU, public carriers are not referred to as common carriers.

> They are the ones amplifying and distributing this content, why should they have zero responsibility for it?

If LinkedIn started allowing hardcore pornography, many of their advertisers would leave.

With that in mind, are you certain LinkedIn takes “no responsibility” for the content they distribute? It would seem they have a multimillion-dollar stake in the outcome of their efforts to shape their commercial product.

Interactive computer services under CDA 230 are not the same as common carriers and your lack of sophistication on this point implies your suggestion this is “simple to solve” is not coming from a position of wisdom.

Pierson v. Post 3 Cai. R. 175 (1805) is instructive. Your post is a great starting point for exploration of basic property law. TLDR ownership consists of a varied bundle of many different kinds of rights which can arise in many different and possibly conflicting ways.

What if you don't want to connect? What if you just want to go somewhere? Why would a car be tasked with connecting?

singleshot_··on Can I disable all data collection from my vehicle?
I’m not worried even a lick about what cars cost electronics or otherwise. My primary factor in selecting a vehicle is my physical safety; after that it’s electronic surveillance.

I can take the last ine:

If a stranger told you your baby was ugly, you would think the stranger was an asshole even if everyone in your family agreed that the baby is hideous.

Enjoy living in your country.

> You may have a cool product in the field of sports betting, casinos, or lotteries. But almost all social networks and search engines won’t let you advertise without a license from the required jurisdiction. Finding investment for such projects is far harder than for conventional niches.

That’s because you are operating in the market of degeneracy, taking profits by offloading your victims’ losses on their commercial counterparts through the bankruptcy system and the rest of us through social services.

There is a reason there were laws against this until the degeneracy operators figured out how to further corrupt our democracy.

All of my multiple decade old made to measure Brooks stuff is starting to wear out. Obviously I’m not even considering replacing it with anything off the rack from BB now because it’s all garbage.

What replaced off the rack suits for men in the US? Or should I give up and buy some Realtree?

Ok so just checking: no cooking oil is made of petroleum then?
singleshot_··on Slovenia becomes first EU country to introduce fuel rationing
That’s a pretty amazing definition of upstream. I imagine you probably understand that plastics, pharmaceuticals, and fertilizers are made out of petroleum derivatives, right?

Since you seem pretty smart: are there petroleum based cooking oils?

Really! What petroleum-based oil do you cook with?
