I'm purely about individual liberties for all individuals.

That makes me absolutely centrist, and in defiance of the societal definitions of the word "libertarian", I'm using it in that specific context.

If you've got a better term, lay it on me :)

Look man, I'll defend your right to say that stupid ass shit and make stupid ass assumptions about me, and I'll defend it with my life, but you're getting the Steve Harvey look right now...

Kinda feels that way :)

'I've got to do this on my own,'" she said last September. "Because if I take the drug, that's the easy way out."

Apparently there's a perception that it matters... You'll see it with smoking cessation too. Gotta do shit the absolute hardest way possible or you're somehow "cheating"...

Wouldn't want people to have taken the easy way to not fucking dying :/

LG effectively has said that their owners manual and a cardboard box have authority over the courts. Clearly, as the courts have nullified it, they fucking dont.

All I see is a damned good reason to ban arbitration agreements outright. If you want to arbitrate a tort, you should be required to motion the court for it.

Imminently relatable... I'm a centrist libertarian, and I'm not a fan of Dems, but I like current Republicans considerably less...

That sounds like it's exactly the point...

Normally I'd chalk your comment up as being a little too "tinfoil hat" to warrant engaging, but half the article implies exactly that, and I don't think the author was doing it on purpose because quite frankly, I don't think there are any news authors left with the competence to do so.

This is 100% some shit I'd expect to come out of the red team though... The Biden administration hasn't struck me as being on the side of corporate interests (generally speaking... I'm not naive enough to think the Biden administration couldn't be bought, I'm speaking to track record here...), and I don't think this would impact tax revenue much, which is to say that there's not much ulterior motivation for blues to trump up a bullshit problem to keep Chinese cars out of the market.

I'm inclined to agree with your opinion, but logically it doesn't add up, is my point :)

The word genocide itself is banned? Or you can't use it in reference to isreal? What if you're talking about WWII? Or you're one of the people protesting that call Biden "genocide Joe" (which is not specifically referencing Israel, but implies it pretty hard)...

I only ask because banning words is a pretty fuckin Republican thing these days and this don't seem like that kinda place.

Attachment to either party is waning among younger voters. A plurality (41%) of them call themselves independents.

I swear this is a generational thing. Silent Gen were rebellious bastards, boomers were not, gen x are rebellious bastards, millennials are not, gen z going with being rebellious bastards totally checks out .

My old gen x ass is 100% with you my little dudes/dudettes... Gotta fight for your right to party ;)

The Ministry of Finance estimates the tax could generate about $43 million a year in tax revenue.

What could go wrong you ask? It's right there... $43m a year... That doesn't get deducted from the profits of the speculators, it comes out of the equity in the homes that get sold. The flippers aren't gonna eat the tax, they're going to add it to the cost of the homes they flip.

The law isn't going to mitigate flipping much, it's going to add $43m/year to the amount home prices increase by, and when people see the neighbors house values go up, they'll demand more for their non-flip sales as well.

Regardless of where you stand on the matter of trump-putin, this has been the narrative for almost a decade, so trotting it back out kinda seems a little tired.

It's also a little silly that even with all the dragging this shit back out to beat a dead ass horse, there's zero mention of trump, in an interview, claiming he'd end the Russia Ukraine issue overnight... I'd personally say that's of much greater relevance than trying to subtly imply financial relations or even the little hint of blackmail she went for.

There's only one way you end that shit overnight... You hand Ukraine over to Russia.

There's plenty of people that wouldn't vote for that... You wanna talk trump-putin in an attempt to influence votes, that's the sound bite ya want.

The movie companies said they were not planning to go after these people in court
