What makes a company different? What about a company formed as a cooperative? Can you prevent a company forming an organisation or calls a trade union and using it to funnel donations?

I dunno maybe you can close all these loopholes but it doesn’t seem totally obvious to me

MAJONNÄS!

Hey don’t worry, figured it was something like that :P

You started by saying he achieved his goal, now you’re saying “who knows” what his goals were? I think that’s kind of an admission, don’t you?

He was quite explicit about his goals, which were to make ordinary Americans aware of the US’ role in the Middle East and to oppose it, leading to a change in US foreign policy. Claiming that what he wanted was to weaken the US 25 years in the future with no evidence is not really something I’m going to entertain seriously.

Healthcare? No, I don’t think leftists would approve of that, and haven’t heard of it. But things like banking, internet access, or use of hotels? I think that kind of thing has definitely been approved of. The most recent case I remember was when Nigel Farage’s bank was closed - NatWest initially claimed it was because of falling below a funding threshold, but later admitted it was due to his views.

P.S. this is the UK politics community.

That wasn’t one of bin Laden’s goals though.

But the same forces are at play everywhere, it’s just that in the US you have this extremely powerful arm of the media that straight up pushes lies. Those lies, however, play on the same fears and cognitive biases.

I’ve been saying for years that the habit of denying services to people on the basis of their reputation and fear that it may blow back onto service providers would lead to wider problems. Back then it was often people on the alt-right being denied services, so those on the left tended not to see any issue - it was a private decision by private company. But private companies are, in our society, an important part of providing the essentials of life, and it’s not good enough that people can be cut off from them for just any reason.

In the end if we are to make life unpleasant for those in the alt-right, it has to be done by grass-roots efforts, not by companies, because the power to do so will then always end up being wielded against someone it should not.

This kind of dumb, horny shit is my level of humour. Where can I find more? There used to be loads on Imgur until they blocked the UK.

Given you recognise it’s a foundational debate, why would you expect a journalist to have the same view as you on it?

Anyway I think it’s pretty clear a lot of rights only make sense in a social system - there’s no inherent natural right to things that don’t exist in a state of nature.

I’m not saying that isn’t awful… Just it’s also funny

EpicMealTime paled in comparison to regular ordinary Swedish mealtime!

But there was a belief that demonstrating that education did correspond to intelligence! I’m not saying it’s accurate!

Creepin

I thought this attitude that the “classics” were what made you intelligent and worthy went out of fashion some time in the 50s… guess it still has its holdouts

This one I’ve not seen. It seems fairly ok at not going completely batshit like that. But the design, layout and comments tend to be awful. It’s pretty good at solving isolated tasks though.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Why would you pay like $300 or whatever for the glasses, $100 more for this mod, instead of doing what I said and buying a device designed for the job?

You didn’t actually disagree with anything I said, so I’m wondering what your point is.

Makes me feel better that someone who knows what she looked like could make the same mistake!

52% is what Novara media calls an “overwhelming majority”? And I thought they opposed Brexit!

Not surprising to see a high proportion of undecideds, but good that most people with an opinion are in favour.
