Is that what the 2008 bailouts were about?

Are you telling me even ICE has (well, had) people among its ranks who have too much of a functioning conscience to follow the orders Trump has been giving them lately? Well, that's... shocking, if true, but promising.

Every copy of Sonic Adventure is personalized.

It really is amazing that they keep pushing these kinds of transparent propaganda films like it's the 1950s. No other industry does this sort of thing anymore; no other industry has done this sort of thing in my lifetime. How can they possibly sell the idea that they're the way of the future...

Confirming that Id Tech remains the least worst of the big AAA ray-tracing engines.

You bring up a good point: Is blocking the malicious code contained in ads tantamount to blocking the whole ad, as per this ruling? And if not, what's the threshold? Most browsers already block certain tracking cookies automatically, without even asking. They try to block that one malicious...

And nothing of value was lost.

Germany has always been one of the worst countries when it comes to copyright. Stuff on YouTube that just gets extra commercials slapped on it gets outright blocked over there. I think their expiration limits are longer than ours too.

Yeah. And those people are too few and powerless to even get noticed, let alone affect policy. And, as we saw when the FTC actually tried to enforce COPPA against YouTube, their enemies are very effective at manipulating the narrative to make them look like they're just the same group of people...

That's a pretty radical assumption. Are there stats backing this up? Like I said yesterday, people who actually care about kids probably do not make up a significant lobby or voting bloc. And I don't count parents who care about their own kids but not anyone else's as part of that group.

They don't have to pretend very convincingly because the only people they're trying to appease are just pretending too. People who actually care about protecting kids online either don't exist or aren't a significant lobby. The state of the internet for the past 30 years should be proof enough...

The US was garbage to start with. Founded by religious fanatics and slave owners, built on slavery and genocide, sustained by exploiting other poorer countries. The only thing we've ever done to make the rest of the world a better place was remove ourselves from it.

I don't think the US deserves to recover, ever. I think it should collapse like Rome, and serve as a cautionary tale to the rest of the world. Because the way things are going, it's probably the only thing that'll save them from the same fate.

Honestly at this point every website should just blanket block access from the UK. Either they repeal the law or they just don't have an internet anymore.

Not just whoever made the decision to brick it, everyone whose designs contributed to it being physically possible to do in the first place.

And because they know their supporters are too stupid to know a tariff is a tax. And possibly they don't actually care what the rest of us do or don't know.

I'm more concerned about the millions of people who were damaged enough to vote for them. There have always been people like her around, but typically they'd be written off as the crazy ranting hobo on the subway.

"Yeah, well, you got hit by like, five ticks of rainbow." - (I like this one because it mixes the nonsense with actual gamer speak)

That happens to me too.

And he's getting paid military-spending money, so probably pretty close to retail and still an order of magnitude more than they're worth.
