They can charge for the room. Why not make that mandatory? Makes business sense.

It's also part of the tradition in North America. It may not be the military but learning to live with people, maybe people you really don't like, is a life experience. And many people look back fondly at that, which they would not have chosen voluntarily.

U be baader-meinhoffing this shit?

People are dyslexic or not native speakers on here as well. English spelling is insane anyway. People fumble-eff around with giant sausage fingers on small screens. We collectively ruin our sight by constantly looking at screens from a foot away. Mistakes happen. I think I heard the first complaints about bad spelling on the collection of tubes in the late 90s. And we're still here.

If Apple were the only player on the block, at least in Europe they would be under a lot more pressure. But they're not. There are other OSs (although only one really matters), there are other phone makers.

Antitrust is more reactive. There is a market, a dominant player, said player plays unfairly, the authorities react. That reaction takes years to go through all the levels of courts available. By the time we get a final ruling, the market has long moved on. The corporations know that too. As long as the lawyers are cheaper than the money they stand to lose they will carry on.

And in Apple's defense: the mobile operating system market is not that old. And it's not clearly defined. And as long as there is wiggle room they can do whatever they want. Part of the problem is that the legislation dealing with antitrust on either side of the Atlantic is like copyright law: no longer fit for purpose.

I think that very much depends on how they're implemented. If there is some sort of electoral-college-equivalent in the process: very much more racist, isolationist, and misogynist. If it's absolute numbers and no distorting process is applied: more racist and isolationist but abortion will be legalized by a narrow margin.

when i wasn’t there 24/7, she’d abuse substances, harm herself, and the like. she reported hearing voices, had sleeping issues as well.

I think that answers your question. We all do real silly stuff in our teenage years but what you're describing here goes beyond that.

I don't think the odds are calculable. But once you've reached a certain level of fame, some good historic knowledge of how to protect yourself from unwanted attention will surely kick in. You don't want to get SWAT teamed, so I suppose you try to keep your address undoxxed. And I guess you could use an alias on your delivery app.

I think you may also be overestimating the level of fame of streamers. They'll be world famous within their bubble but two feet away from it nobody knows who they are. The odds are probably in their favor that the uber eats driver doesn't know or care who they are.

No healthcare is free. It is paid. Whether through taxes or mandatory insurance schemes. The money doesn't grow on trees.

It is a US BS narrative that 'socialized healthcare' is lefty silliness. And while there are conservatives in Europe who float the idea of abandoning government-organized healthcare every once in a while, every time they do they are met with a lot of frantic finger-pointing across the Atlantic. Everybody else sees a societal value in taking care of each other without any, or at least many, preconditions, like employment.

Europe is not one homogenous political body. Much like the US on the state level isn't. The only difference is that the US shares a party structure on both state and federal levels. But there are just two relevant parties, twice as many as in North Korea! The party spectrum has always been broader in European democracies. As a result, the European Parliament often creates strange bedfellows.

There are marked differences between European countries and what they consider left and right. You're looking at a lot of separate and shifting Overton windows. The suggested social cuts of the center-left Labour UK government would probably cause another revolution in France. The right-wingers of France are pro-Russia. The right-wingers of Poland absolutely aren't. The list goes on.

Mit Tendenz nach rechts.

There is probably a law of diminishing returns in here because bread contains other ingredients as well (salt, yeast, etc.) and after a while the chemistry of baking will be out of whack.

You're probably right that we need something like that to appeal to the masses. Sadly.

I think the handcrafted feed will always reign supreme.

Why don't you ask your AI about how to achieve objectivity in your fake writing?
