Although a majority of voting Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) actually opposed the regulation (314 against, 276 in favor, 17 abstentions), the motion to reject it failed to secure the required absolute majority of 361 votes

I’m a bit OOTL. How the hell does that even work?

Pro-Life!

Calling digital copy-pasting piracy is akin to calling breathing displacing the air, data centers be damned.

Isn’t that the entire point what with the world watching the genocide live in general and refusing to do jackshit about it?

though I’m not sure I’d call it discrimination.

It most definitely is discrimination. Because discrimination is “treating two things differently according to a discriminator”. Such as living alone or with a registered partner.

Now, the purpose of this is obvious (having a child is expensive and a good thing in the state’s eyes). Such cases where the discrimination “makes sense” (as it evens the playing field isntead of skewing it further) is usually termed as “positive” discrimination.

But as it technically fits the core requirement of discrimination, it is discrimination.

If what Steam does is such a problem for everyone involved, why doesn’t Sweeny make a better product himself then?

Oh, he has but it’s worse?

Whould’ve thought!

You mean they cold brew the tea in the ocean basin?

What the actual fuck is this?

Corporate Hunger games?

The thing is, getting this kind of exception doesn’t happen even when 5 million people sign a petition. The government is ruthless. Usually.

Yet here we are, a 79-year old got it. Usually you need the situation on national news before the relevant authorities would even begin to consider granting such an exemption. So the users of the program are never anonymous. They need to be exposed to the media in order to get it.

Yet here we are, a “random” 79 year old got it, and that’s all we know about them. So thinking the “random” person coincidentally the same age as Trump isn’t most likely to in fact be Trump is definitely not a stretch.

Surely a random 79 year-old from from North Korea is equally as likely to be the recipient of this as arguably the most powerful man alive, and unarguably in the country where it’s happening.

Yup. Government has businesses by the balls.

But corruption exists.

Therefore the goverment only ever really pulls small businesses and normal people by the balls, while the big businesses and uber rich (money heavyweights) get to pull the government by the tongue. Sometimes even the balls as well.

Just as Supply Side Jesus intended.

the total wackjob who thinks you need a midnight or 5 am meeting to watch a 10 minute video recording

I’m usually all for rehabilitation, but this behaviour deserves Gitmo-level torture.

AFAIK “congressman” isn’t a protected class. And he’d most likely like to get rid of the others.

This gives me hope for America.

You’re probably thinking (rightly) of this type of tractor. However, the cabin unit of a truck is also called a tractor.

Searcing for the Jiefang J6p yields results of the latter type.

We don’t have that tradition so I get chills at the month of hyperactivity and bad teeth I can imagine. Especially if that cone is 100% candy.

Don’t forget the terrorist Doctors without borders!

And the terrorist Nobel prize comitee that dared honour them!

It’s sad that this is the case, but the european zionist politicians (especially german ones) might just get on board with easing sufferring just a bit if this is the selling point.

And while that’s far from an ideal solution, a win’s a win, no matter how small.

I can remember my own coversations myself, thanks.

And what I feel I might both need and forget I’ll write down Either on the phone or using pen and paper.

No one thinks that.

What Trump wants is America to not be the worst place in the world healthcare-wise.

And the only alternative to fixing the American system is fucking up the rest. And fucking up your neighbor is usually easier than working on yourself.

So that’s what Trump wabts to do.
