Am i missing something here? You're saying someone selfharming justifies criminal punishment?

I'd love to have this conversation in a suburban mall food where the average bmi is >30

> news isn't religion

Anecdotally it feels that way in modern society.

Ask a random person if they believe Fox news.

> verbal announcements

At this point the foreigner is more Japanese than the local friend.

Can anyone elaborate on [3] or at least copypaste it?

Twitter links seem to rarely work without having the app on mobile, it's disgustingly blatant dark pattern stuff.

While I agree with the sentiment feel the urge to note that where I live but you will face punishment for having blackberries growing on your property similar to what you would for selling marijuana.

Blackberries are a national pest, and yet sell for $80/kg in supermarkets. The average person could collect over $50 worth from the side of the road in under an hour.

Australia is not known for its efficiency nor logic.

> Glasgow council is selling land like its going out of fashion to developers

Guessing the sentiment here is that this is bad? Why exactly? Is Glasgow not growing and ever more people needing roofs over heads?

I've never once heard a person hate on farmers for producing too much food for consumption but the moment developers come even close to meeting demand for housing they are considered on par with criminals.

Both are essentials for life. Yet an abundance of one may reduce an individuals personal wealth.

In my country developers are banned from political donations, bikie gangs (organised criminals) are not.

https://dark.fail/ for market and forum links. Dread and Avengers are the forums.

Browse around or ask questions on the forums. Reputation is everything on darknet markets, a reputable seller from your own country is highly unlikely to do you wrong.

What news does reach "the majority of people in China"?

The children of senior officials routinely study overseas, it's painfully mundane.

As for China "ramping up anti-western rhetoric", I'm truly struggling to see what you mean being in a unique position between the two, would actually say the opposite. Are you sure about that or is it more a localized viewpoint far removed from statements made by the Chinese government and media arms?

Just to clarify because it's a tad vague, you support Blizzard's right to both remove a winners players prizemoney and future ability to compete because of one sentence on a livestream?

Or perhaps less inflammatory and antagonistic, would you support private property even if it were levelled against oneself?

While keeping the population well-fed, secure and with wages growing at 5% a year? Not possible.

The masses will beg for more oppression if you can keep that up.

The greying of this only comment here despite not a single reply ironically only proves my point further.

I guess the "anti-censorship activists" aren't here to save me today. Oh well, trivial problem for me, tad bigger issue for HK.

Is censorship bad my friendly digital co-inhabitants?

Or did the my comment just hit the scraping regexes in the right spot?

> News travels faster than ever before. Everyone has a camera on them.

I too am watching the ever-loyal Kurds get slaughtered by a NATO member with the overt approval of the US military.

I wrote a comment on the internet in response.

Problem solved?

Actually spent quite a while going through the list of banned subs to eliminate contentious ones, gotta make commenters work for it :)

They are a US based website subject to those laws, even if those words posted on their site didn't violate laws, it's entirely legal for them to censor at will for any reason they deem ok.
