Definitely not how that works. All companies are taxed and they don’t get any special representation outside lobbying that they were going to do either way and churches do in fact put a lot of the money they should have payed in taxes into lobbying.

Is fire an invention? I feel like it is something that happens to us wether we like it or not.

I never thought of him being immune to Sauron as him being powerful. He is just like the the hobbits but to its fullest. Bombadil is perfectly content with his own existence and there is nothing for the ring to tempt him with.

Natural resources it the prime example. I think all natural resources should exclusively be under democratic control and all profits from the sale of naturals resources goes exclusively to the government. Developed land like private housing gets complicated fast but ideally things should work like things work now but the government fulfills the functions of a landlord.

Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can’t make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.

I don’t think we should take our lessons from a third world country.

Did we finally discover slood?

Community points isn’t supposed to be valuable. This is about making people start a vault/wallet and engage in crypto in a way that is fun and non threatening. They already tried it with the avatars but I doubt it got a whole lot of traction. At some point the real crypto currency will appear and suddenly reddit will have a platform with a couple of millions users that already has a wallet set up and ready. That will make reddit one of the biggest crypto platforms on the internet.

This is also what the API thing was about. Third party apps didnt/couldn’t include the vault on their apps so a lot of user didn’t even know the vault existed until now.

He caused the riot. If he didn’t cause the riot and has no responsibility then we are in some weird Saw movie logic where Jigsaw technically didn’t kill anyone because he only set up the circumstances and the people killed themselves. If you are older and twelve you should be able to sort these things out.

It is normal for features to be delayed in their launch. This feature has already been launched. I know it has been launched because for two days every rightoid grifter bragged about the money that was paid out in order to boost subscriptions for Elon. This is a case of not paying your bills. That is not normal, that is usually a Herald for bankruptcy.

He doesn’t want to and it would be really bad for him to involve his personal wealth in the company. They need to be separate when twitter goes bankrupt. It is also very unclear what his actual wealth is.

That depends on the local law. Setting things up in such a way that you know a crime will occur is often also considered incitement even if you never told anyone directly to do anything. Would you be more comfortable if people just said “causing a riot” because they mean the same thing here.

He has enough viewers that he basically arranged a concert in the middle of new york without telling anyone beforehand. When you have an audience his size you are legally not allowed to be as stupid as he is.

This was a very confusing story as it was breaking in Sweden because no news outlet bothered to give any info on the Eritrean conflict and just asked random Eritreans in the area for comment without clarifying what side they were on.

It’s a single player, narrative game. Being bad at it shouldn’t affect your enjoyment.

It’s a shame there wasn’t a preloading thing because at my current speed I am looking at two more hours of waiting.

I wonder if it’s a refusal or if he fired the department handling that kind of thing. X exist in this weird zone where it has the media profile and user base of a massive social media empire but the corporate structure is a small startup

I count the english language as one player in this game.

I wonder what the general kill count for languages that can be directly attributed to the english.
