Term limits should be present at every level of government. Career politicians should not exist
Lobbying should be outlawed
Politicians should not benefit personally from policy change
Countries should not enact regime change on other countries
The guy who's prolifically installing surveillance systems in every major metropolis in the US with little to no oversight, is upset that smart TVs are able to surveil users with little to no oversight
This is a massive and growing problem for American national security. Unbelievable amounts of sensitive and classified information is captured, scraped, and sent back to foreign nations.
And users have no idea. Nobody expects that their TV or monitor is a surveillance tool. When I have joked that Smart TVs should be illegal, I am only half-joking.
@SaniOSRS@shortdood47 You believe that generalized nonsense about a country of 90 million people and you're calling others schizo? These are regular people just like you and I, just born in a different place. Who are we to dictate other countries? I'm tired of the West acting like our shit don't stink
@orcbrandronin@Docquistador @ick_real Wow I wonder what sort of things happened before they got their independence. You gonna criticize the us for ethnic cleansing too? Only fair
@SaniOSRS@shortdood47 Says the citizen (I assume) of a country that has over 800 military bases across the globe, that has enacted multiple coups on "the lunatics" which set them back decades and even decided who would be in charge of them? Sure buddy, they're the lunatics
@PNWConservative He's a scumbag. Him and every other businessman who took advantage of Washington's naivete towards big business and molded our home into their liking. And when Washington wises up and tried to get them to settle their bill they find another place to worm into. He can kick rocks
@KYRRadio Stop whining about the tax and start addressing the use of a general fund and a lack of oversight and transparency about spending. Tax nightmares are inevitable when everyone has access to the giant pile of money that we all contribute to. Spending is a black hole at the moment
@Docquistador @ick_real *the parts of the world that have been under external control for the longest*
Lol, lmao, rofl even
Also I doubt "docquistador" is really in belief or want of world peace. Not to say he shouldn't, it's never too late to vouch for a unified planet. It's how we evolve!
@naynerz Proper taxation on excessive income is a good thing, however as many people have already pointed out, Washington's problem is its spending. The general fund needs to be replaced with a more efficient means to manage the states funds. This pile of money thing does not work
It's interesting to think about how the proliferation of big box stores (Walmart, Fred meyers, etc) have negatively affected rural America, and in turn encouraged "bad behavior." All of a sudden, the farmers producing for the local farmers market can't compete with the low prices
@DouglasHvc21255@Seanfrank These people's way of life was upended by urbanism and "progression." There's a reason rural communities are no longer self-sustaining, relying only on tourism to keep the lights on and the taxman away. No shit they turn to easy comforts. Be kind to your neighbor
@Torvesta Jagex has been slow bleeding the game out for the last 10 years with power creep and gameplay creep. The new content caters to using runelite and the new items are just 1-hit machines in pvp.
This game used to revolve around pvp, edge/honor pking, but now it's a collection game
@Diamondfish_bug @_Topsiee_ Suicide is about as far as you can get from self serving, it's literally self destruction
If you are so sympathetic to her husband, sympathize with him and his unimaginable loss, rather than be prosecutorial to the one he is grieving
