I understand the sentiment you are going for, but I think it is a little cheap regarding the opinion of 300 million+ people.

In my horribly narrow opinion, the American freedom is simply the freedom to choose. Nothing more, nothing less. The freedom to own a tiger, buy a tank or be “Florida man” for a day.

It is not “free” from manipulation and sometimes it really feels like a 5 year old choosing to do the opposite of the right thing just “because”.

Sidenote: I ABSOLUTELY do not think it is the best way to build a nurturing society, but I get why it has such a passionate supporter base.

If you map this to the political compass instead, I’ll give you a virtual high five.

I never stated any positive or negative association in my comment

Cocaine has also ruined many lives. Both are horrible and some people cannot control their consumption.

I was reading a story recently about an Italian plumber’s brother doing big things with less equipment.

Beautiful! Maybe refrain from posting that name in German communities though…

It was a marketing piece and it did its job incredibly well. Few people in the world don’t recognise it on sight (unfortunately).

Lemuroid is superior

Only needed about 6 takes to read your edit. How often do you mist things?

I’m lost in the air travel debate and it sucks. Ignoring the strike and pilots specific concerns, IMHO:

• Emissions of flights are horrendous and will be viewed as barbaric in 30+ years. It needs to stop.
• Denying those of a lower income the opportunity to partake in air travel is also horrendous, and should not be the main mechanism to disrupt the industry.
• There are, in many cases, no alternatives to air travel, so it cannot be abolished.

Smarter regulation is needed, but the finite details will likely never suit a majority of people.

It’s about the perceived drug use (namely ecstasy) within the electronic music scene. Amsterdam, because of its ports and proximity to western Europe, became a hub for typically higher quality drugs.

Few are as brave.

Khan academy got me through the end of high school and engineering. It really made the concepts a lot more understandable than the lecturers.

If it’s content is still up to scratch, I hope it’s getting the recognition it deserves!

Would it not be economic suicide to do so?

I would argue all connected cars have become that. If you’re buying anything newer than 2015, in all likelihood it’s a spyware filled go-kart.

To be fair, this is pretty much the story of any right wing politician too… at least this girl (arguably) didn’t ruin the lives of millions.

Not linked to your identity…

Identifiers…

This seems contradictory. I’ll avoid them for now, thanks!

I’m curous about these, how is the privacy on the apps? Having my data mined from my lightbulbs is my last consideration against taking the step tbh

What?
