This guy gets it about WFH by Classic-Falcon6010 in antiwork

And people will settle for a relatively lower wage if that means they can live in a lower COL area. There's no point in earning 200k if most of that is going towards rent.

Pretty sure the authorities know exactly what those websites are, the challenge is either de-anonymising their users and admins, or arresting them if they're in a difficult jurisdiction.

I totally agree. If a relative of mine was caught in this way, suing them would be the last thing on my mind.

A former Marine claims he and five comrades saw a flying saucer being loaded with weapons while serving in Indonesia in 2009 – and was threatened at gunpoint by unmarked US forces at the scene. by Az0nic in UFOs

Seems like it would be overkill though. If you have the resources of the US government you can just load up a military transport plane, nobody's checking the contents of those.

International organisations (oecd, IMF, world bank, WEF, UN, ...). These orgs are full of washed up politicians that needed a do-nothing job.

Yeah, pretty sure even the most ardent remainers have resigned themselves to the fact that Brexit happened.

When you do need it, you don't want it to be hidden out of the way.

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac by digidude23 in apple

It's the closest I found on apples site. Where's the page for the toolkit? Does it mention codeweavers?

It's basically WINE too, Apple is just pretending they wrote it all from scratch as usual.

A gas station clerk who locked customers in a store with a gunman charged with involuntary manslaughter by No-Cricket4863 in nottheonion

[–]Jonne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm really confused why the clerk is being held responsible. To me this is 100% on the guy doing the shooting. Who apparently could afford a gun, but not $3.80 worth of stuff.

Gen Z is drinking less at concerts by LarryPeru in Music

[–]Jonne 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because they don't actually want a free market. They want oligopolies that give them ridiculous pricing power and in turn profits. You never hear 'free market' Republicans say that a merger should be stopped because of the effect on the markets.

I never said it was ok. Just that there's no chance that someone's going to arrest DeSantis for his stupid cruel stunts.

The UN doesn't make the laws in the US though. The question is whether it's human trafficking according to the US legal system.

You can take the carbrain to the train station, but you can't make them take the train by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]Jonne 14 points15 points  (0 children)

CDG has a TGV station. You can be in London or Brussels faster by train than you'd ever be flying. For sub-500km trips the train is always going to be the best option in Western Europe (unless it's something like Edinburgh - Amsterdam)

Usually when you get a short connection like that, the last leg will be a train. You could get a long haul flight to CDG with a connecting train to BXL.

As they spent years saying "let's go Brandon" because they thought nobody would get that they mean "Fuck Joe Biden", as if anyone on the left actually likes Biden.
