Right, if only people had a clear idea of what good and evil are. It's not so clear.

Trying so hard to be good? How about don't be evil. That would be a good start for pretty much everyone.

Prices are abstract, virtual. Prices have no intention, agency or will. Prices can't be real source, cause of event that threatens lives of many real people. It is real people who threaten other real people, virtual tools serving as medium of their actions. Claiming 'it was all prices' is attempt to avoid responsibility, retaliation from people who suffered against active manipulators: bankers, politicians, and their servants.

I basically disagree with the author, but I found the discussion interesting as I'm familiar with EA.

Sounds like a whole lot of useless commentary that could be summed up as "Do unto others".

Reply to comment by Wahaha in Yahoo Japan website will be unavailable to most of Europe by DcscZx5idox
Probably a combination of GDPR and the Russian news censorship laws. Otherwise they wouldn't have waited until now to do it. Also if only 1% of their visitors are from Europe, it makes sense to block them rather than to comply with their local laws.

Perhaps it is true.
An official from Yahoo Japan said on Feb. 1 that the company decided it has become too difficult to continue servicing the region considering the costs of complying with local laws and regulations.
The company did not specify which laws and regulations it had in mind when making the decision. But it appears to be affected by recent moves in Europe to tighten regulations on the protection of personal data.

Rape? - we saw nothing. A guy in a skirt - we have to defend his human rights, nothing is more important!

Not alleged. Rape kit confirms that.

because monero is private, none needs to see who you and receive money from. monero also has lower fees.

Why monero? e.g.: instead of bitcoin

Unsure. I own a small business that does a lot of crypto payments but there isn't much I can do for our fiat holdings. Our biggest operational costs I pay in crypto each month but still have to keep money in the bank and transfer funds from PayPal and Stripe on a regular basis.
I still claim and account for all crypto stuff to keep Uncle Sam happy and to keep things legal, but the $600 bank thing is so comically dumb that you'd think they forgot a couple of zeroes.

Reply to Metal in the Modern vaccine? Japan investigates “foreign substances” after death of vaccinated by DcscZx5idox
All COVID-19 vaccines are free from metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth alloys, as well as any manufactured products such as microelectronics, electrodes, carbon nanotubes, and nanowire semiconductors.
This might is falsehood.

Reply to comment by Rambler in Hunter Biden used N-word in messages with his lawyer, even SEXTED him by accident – media by Rambler
No offense, but this isn't politics and I think your site deserves better. The belief that politics is mostly about personalities is crippling our society, but in this case the subject of the article isn't even a politician.

I have no opinion one way or the other. I don't think that use of the word is actually offensive. Hunter is just trying to be hip and cool or whatever, which is cringey as hell, but not 'offensive' (in my opinion). Then again, I'm not 'qualified' to have an opinion on the matter. I just think it's some silly glorification of a culture that has some white people adopting lingo like that and I never understood why people get upset at that use of the word when used in that context.
I just posted because it'd be a massive story and in the news for a week had this happened a year ago with the last president's son, or something. There would be a lot of social media outrage, etc.
Anytime I hear a white person say shit like that I just think of J-Roc from Trailer Park Boys. https://tube.incognet.io/watch?v=qeqyL-V0Sho & https://tube.incognet.io/watch?v=b1YIjzq6X8k

He sounds like an ok guy to me. Read the texts in the Russia Today article. I approve of those texts.

Reply to EU approves draft law to regulate AI – here's how it will work by z3d
What regulations? They will push ai in every crack of society to push development. faster for establishing their master control program. What risks? Does anybody think, that ai isn't at moment deciding what to buy/sell on the markets? High risk to crash everything. Bomb which decides by ai detection if their nearer coming target is civilian to then destroy itself before impact - low risk, they would die anyway.
