I found out that when confronted with ID surveillance I don’t really want to visit that site after all.

Companies keep pushing security onto the user at the same time as demanding more personal data.

They can suck my…

Sure, but I still think that they will go down the drain with the rest of us.

England being an island, and having armies and a navy didn’t deter the Vikings. And, in the scenario we are talking about, there will be Vikings.

The fantasy about the bunker bros is that they think that they will escape the doom.

They won’t, of course. They may buy themselves a fortnight or so, but not much more. Their air purification system, or something critical, will go on the blink and the guy who knows how to fix it will be already dead.

But does it have to land in that exact spot and ugly up one of the most beautiful and iconic views in the world? I say this not even being American.

What you are suggesting is the norm in every western country in the World.

However, in the US anything goes.

You might consider fixing that.

Oh yeah. Exactly why the Republicans are dragging their feet. Who are most likely to own passports? MAGA or Dem voters?

Also, the filibuster protects the GOP from Trump more than it does the Democrats.

If they take the house they should immediately dump the filibuster.

I don’t think that any outcome they foresee will have any relation to what will actually happen.

Have these guys ever considered that the survivors outside the bunkers might just weld the bunker doors shut whilst those inside watch them do it on closed circuit television?

Don’t want it, don’t need it. The nuclear furnace in space provides free fuel. What we need is massive storage. That’s the next real battle.

People will argue that we don’t have the tech yet. Well, we never have the tech until someone develops it. Do you suppose a chicken laid a nuclear plant? No, it was developed over time. So will energy storage.

The bigger mystery to me is why people try so hard to get back in. I had a 14 year account and when I was banned I just moved on. The last couple of years the place was a pit.

I got banned for reasons I don’t really understand. So, I just accepted it and it’s fine.

Depends upon the country. I believe that the US can, but not positive.

That’s my life.

True, my friend. But Reddit is set on automatic self-destruct mode. Nothing can be done except sit back and watch from a distance. Unfortunately it will be pretty boring to watch.

Me too. 14 year account and it never bothered me much because it’s like being banned from a dumpster fire.

I’m wondering how driving out users will assist their bottom line? Particularly those of us who were providing content that they can sell. 90% of Reddit accounts are bots and lurkers.

If you are American, just read your own situation before lecturing anyone else. As far as I am aware, my country is having negligible negative effects to other countries. Your country is a blight upon civilisation.

I’m not a European myself, but when I visit France this is too common to even remark upon to my wife. I don’t know why they don’t ticket them, or maybe they do and it’s not a concern?

It will be a trickle away from US dominance - until it’s not. These things take time and seem imperceptible in the beginning. They were still building canal systems when the first railways were coming online.

You are saying that from a libertarian perspective (or seem to). The Australian government’s social media controls for children are very popular here as social media is very harmful to children.

You can’t compare that to America bombing a girl’s school and killing 174 children by your military, and in your country’s name.

By no means are they pure, but dude, you could drive 60 tractors, side-by-side, between our version of a bad leader and your guy.

Guess what? You already know that too.
