Yea, that is bullshit. You can't harass people like that. Once you let the worst people in society get away with it, all bets are off.

I bet that if the guy had done the exact same thing to the judges he would had had a visit from the authorities in a second.

Against who? Russia can't even fight Ukraine. China es calling for peace. This is a minor regional conflict. I feel sorry for the people of Ukraine and Russia that are going to suffer and die pointlessly for the delusional imperial ambitions of an old man that lives 75 years in the pass.

Putin is the new Mussolini, getting his ass handed to him while trying to invade Greece and for exactly the same reasons; mainly a low moral, low quality army that doesn't want to fight that war.

I'm tired on hearing entitled little sh1ts like you that have lived incredibly pampered lives and don't have a clue of what is like to have to live without a refrigerator, hvac or modern medicine.

The level of delusion and entitlement of some people is simply to hard to understand for me.

1. Disruption of supply chains

2. Money printing for Covid stimulus giving additional spending power to consumers increasing demand above the average.

3. Money printing for Covid stimulus reducing demand for low paying jobs.

4. Scalpers.

5. Speculation on the part of manufacturers that prefer to increase prices instead of investing long term to expand production.

6. Other.

"freedom, mathesip" lol, you need to lean your own history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_of_Indigenou...

"The conflict has been described as a genocide resulting in the elimination of the full-blood Tasmanian Aboriginal population"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_immigration_detenti...

"The Migration Act 1958 allowed discretionary detention of unauthorised arrivals until 1992."

"... questions remain unanswered on Australia’s commitment to human rights for all when it comes to marriage equality, transgender people accessing birth certificates and protecting intersex people from harmful medical procedures,"

Australia's support for the invasion of Timor in the 70' causing 300.000 deaths to steal their oil and gas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqegTsi6SiE

Support for human right terrible abuses in West Papua to steal resources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjU8R8oj328

The only thing new about this can be summarized by the famous Thucydides quote: "the tyranny Athens imposed on others it finally imposed on itself"

lol, you need to lean about the history of minorities in Australia starting with the indigenous people and how they were treated.

Same thing with their relations with all their small neighbors and with "undesirable" immigrants.

This is a great place to start: https://www.youtube.com/user/thejuicemedia

There is nothing new to this in Australia's culture, is was just aimed at the weak and vulnerable, but as the famous quote by Tucidides goes: "The tyranny Athens imposed on others it finally imposed on itself."

After the Pegasus news that showed that a relatively small private company in a very small country could have complete remote access to your phone and sell it on the market, do you really think that a powerful government like China or the US can't already do it??? How could you be this naive? Especially after the Snowden revelations.

And about Apple's having a change of hearth in the future and using something like this against you. Have you stopped to think for one second and consider that they have complete control over the updates that your phone receives?? They can quietly do what ever they want without you ever knowing and you can't do sh*t about it. So drop the concerned citizen act. We all abdicate privacy a long time ago when we sold our souls for cool free services like google and sexy gadgets.

At the end of the day the "slippery slope" argument boils down to one thing: do you trust your institutions? Any law or service can be abused, and the only thing preventing that is the integrity of the people on your society and the institutions both public and private that they work for. The exact same law that is used to fight corruption in a great country like Norway or Denmark can be abused to persecute political opponents in a shitty country like North Korea or China.

If the answer is no, I don't trust my institutions and my people, then you have a far more severe and fundamental problem than an specific law or service. In that scenario, focusing in an specific issue is like trying to cover the sun with your hands.

"After being in the industry for 15 years, I still do not have a good short answer for what environmental consultants do."

That quote alone says it all. These people are not satisfied because they don't have a real job, they have a bullshit job, and they know it.

The others are more of the same, you have a "coach" of the obvious that even him doesn't practice what he preaches and a member of "multiple projects and committees" that complains about wasting time all day talking with no focus or clear purpose.

They get pay to pretend to work all day by pushing papers, write endless jargon-ridden nonsense and, of course, attending endless meetings.

Why the double standard?

Now, you can say whatever you like on the internet, you just are not entitle to force other people and companies to give you a platform to do so. Facebook, Youtube, this site, etc., doesn't owe you sh#t. If you want to publish something that they don't like, host it and promote it yourself, just as if you want to put something in the news that they don't like, or on TV or on the radio or on a book.

The insane and childish authoritarianism of the author of this article that believes that "Mail Chimp" doesn't tell him what to do with their service but instead he is the one that tells them how to run their private for profit company is both comical and sad. If you don't like the terms of service, stop using their service. That's how that works. If you think that they are infringing on your rights, them take them to court, don't click bait about it.

No really. You just have to do what just happened happen a couple more times and they are finished. If they can't protect their data they have no business, their reputation is destroyed and there's no point of hiring them if a week later the list of the people you are spying leaks. Turn the game around, info security is asymmetric by definition, it's a lot easier to attack than to defend. As a defender you need to plug all possible holes but If you become the attacker you just need to find one.

Are you suggesting that oil is not finite??? Or that we have an easy replacement at hand contrary to the people that says otherwise such as in the "Planet of The humans" documentary?

But lets face it, the alternatives are not much better. Yesterday I spend half an hour trying to update a free opensource software called Amass on my Debian based distro, a dependency was corrupted and I had to uninstall that dependency with apt, re-install it with snap and then I was able to finally update the app with apt. And, of course, the config file wasn't updated and it didn't even warned me that it needed to. I had to go to github and check by hand. I can't ask my grandma to do that.

My friends will not even host the torrent that they just downloaded for a single hour and my family don't know what torrent is and more important than that, they don't care. Good luck with really large scale p2p solutions. You must be really happy paying 100 bucks on fees to transfer 10 dollars on the Bitcoin or ETH networks, but hey! no adds or "evil" companies!
