Oh but it does scale: Abortions are forbidden with the following exceptions:

• The carrying mother requests one.
• The carrying mother is in no condition to express her will and her pregnancy puts her life in danger, in which case we can refer to consent forms she would have already filled covering such cases, doctors and her family).

I believe Windows 11 and "AI everywhere" are quickly changing that. Gamers started migrating, but I believe the stats showing a growing usage of Linux on desktop as well as resistance to the Win11 migration go beyond the gamers.

But I admit: a survey right now may not yet show it. It's probably trending up slowly.

I genuinely believ they don't care. Trump knows he's guilty in the Epstein file, but he still assumes he doesn't deserve any prosecution because of his own personal exceptionalism. Same is tmue for the ICE agent who shot Goode: "total immunity" said Vance.

Same is probably true for Lepen in his eyes: she's an ally. To project a view he expressed in the past: she could shoot someone on the Champs-Élysée and not lose their support.

Far-right felons wannabe dictators supporting each other. How can you not have tears in your eyes??

Take away:

1. MS is well aware AI is useless.
2. Nadella admits they invested G$ in something without having the slightest clue what its use-cas would be ("something something rEpLaCe HuMaNs")
3. Nadella is blissfully unaware of the "social" image MS already has in the eye of the public. You don't have our social permission to still live as a company!

Correct, but needs clarification:
Depression referring to the whole economy as the bubble burst.
Acceptance is when the government accepts to bail them out because they're too big and the gov is too dependent on them to let them die.

And if Macron still refuses to join, he'll hold his breath until France pays up!

I don't know how to send a message to car makers so they know whoever offers a simple functional OFFLINE car will have my money when I change my car. At this stage I'd rather sacrifice real-time GPS updates to avoid a creepy spying car.

That's the new version of "it works on my computer" as an answer to people reporting bugs.

If you are selling second hand, use a different platform. No one is making you use marketplace.

You just lost access to 90--95% of buyers/sellers. How is it going?

There are online portals, calendars, and even emails that notify parents of students and events.

Great! All I need to do now is to convince the school to use them because beat me: I'm not in charge of their communication systems…

You can call you friends and find out how they are doing. You can also email to keep in touch

You must have misread. I do exactly that.

Stop posting everything about yourself and the internet and you should be telling your friends the same.

You must have misread: at no point did I write that I was posting anything. But I certainly don't dictate my friends what they should and shouldn't do.

You are just making excuses as to why you need it in your life and I have never had to use it for anything since its inception.

"It works on my computer."

It's a delicate process. For Canada, the 2 economies are historically very very entangled. Divesting has started, but if you do it too fast or too openly, you will trigger strong reactions from the US. If you go to a head front economic battle with the US, you would create a lot of pain in Canada itself, that the conservatives will lever to gain power (and very probably be much more submissive to the US…).
So yes: do it quietly but surely, don't make waves, don't appear to be antagonist.

It's not my repetition that makes it nonsensical, it's the fact that assets are purchased with already-taxed money. Having to pay the government for the 'privilege' of continuing to own what you've purchased, in perpetuity, is nonsensical, full stop.

Tell me you don't have a damn clue how very large wealth works without telling me you don't have a damn clue how very large wealth works.

Capital flight since the ISF wealth tax’s creation in 1988 amounts to ca. €200 billion; The ISF causes an annual fiscal shortfall of €7 billion, or about twice what it yields

Unfortunately for you, he never could never prove the relation between taxes and wealthy people leaving, making this an interesting paper, but not a consensus, even today.
In addition, this has mitigations: bind the tax to the citizenship (what the US is already doing for income), and/or apply a 5 years term before you have "escaped" the tax. Again, both considered manageable by economists.

Your inability to own up to any of your falsehoods makes you pointless to continue engaging with. The statistics are crystal clear—your assertions are demonstrably bunk.

Not sure if you in denial or bad faith. Doesn't matter.

This reply serves only to directly contradict the most obvious additional falsehoods, for others who may read this exchange, before I move on.

Well, since it starts with you explaining you had no idea what you talked about the whole time, yes, it's preferable.

There already are private military. Black Water and alike are absolutely private armies. But that could be expensive, even for trillionaires. It's a much better strategy to privatize the existing military and get it paid by the government. Watch it, it's going to happen!
