AlteredStateBlob, to ich_iel in ich🎅iel

Meine Fresse.

AlteredStateBlob, to privacy in Plex starts narcing on its own users' anime and X-rated habits with an opt-out service, and it's going terribly

Can cast fairly well from the phone app or even the browser. Chrome cast is funky though.

AlteredStateBlob, to ukraine in Latvian President comments on Ukraine's intelligence report that Russia might be preparing to attack Baltic States

Exactly.

AlteredStateBlob, to ukraine in Latvian President comments on Ukraine's intelligence report that Russia might be preparing to attack Baltic States

If anyone thinks that Russia does not have plans to invade Europe at large, they are sorely mistaken. I bet Ukrainians do find such plans fairly often.

Question is when they will attempt to act on them. I agree, it would be fairly insane to open a second front. Then again, I thought it was fairly insane to open the first one.

AlteredStateBlob, to dach in Berliner Staatsschutz ließ 300 rechtsextreme Verfahren liegen

Tja

AlteredStateBlob, to 196 in for a rule

This might fully go over my head in the moment. I have met so many mega weird men, that I would just assume the other person must have met a similar selection and take it as a compliment and worry a bit about who they socialize with, if I am a good example of a man to them.

AlteredStateBlob, to technology in No More Phone Number Swaps: Signal Messaging App Now Testing Usernames

Gifs work if you add them from your PC rather than from an URL. Download it, pull it into chat, gift works. It's not as easy as it should be, but at least it has a workaround

AlteredStateBlob, to videos in Kitboga Trapped 200 Scammers in an Impossible Maze

These scam centers are active around the clock. Why wouldn't they be? It's billions they are pulling as an industry.

I've been watching his channel for years and never once had the impression anything he does is faked.

The scammers he talks to would have to be amazing actors to have emotional outbursts like they do after being comparatively friendly and tame for so long.

Not only that, but there is rarely a repeat of the people he talks to, if any, unless it is the same scammer for days.

I don't are anything that would suggest this one or any of his videos are fake.

AlteredStateBlob, to nostupidquestions in Why advertise on YouTube?

I also remeber the plague of malvertising with drive by viruses and Trojans. I haven't had a single positive virus on my systems in over a decade thanks to adblockers.

It's insane, because the internet looked entirely different as well. Not these monolithic sites but scattered around.

AlteredStateBlob, to news in You have to earn $115,000 a year to afford a typical house now in the US

How about instead of calling me ignorant you take the opportunity to share your insights? Share some sources for the claims you just made and teach, rather than attack me for not knowing better.

My point is that laws are nearly irrelevant at a certain point of wealth unless they're aggressively enforced specifically against that class of wealthy individuals and companies that are the main culprits in not only evading but also continually eroding tax laws and enforcement. Laws alone do (nearly) nothing to stop any of this.

Tax evasion with existing laws works predominantly because the agencies are underfunded and not equipped to track and follow the tax evasion schemes of the ultra rich, while they simultaneously lobby for that to stay that way or become even worse.

No matter the change of code, these issues will not go away, because there's always some way to hide what you have, no matter the laws. While the current state of tax laws (no matter where) is very sub-optimal and heavily favors the rich, there is no way that a mere change in law would change that status whatsoever.

Since I personally do not evade taxes, I couldn't tell you all the loop holes some high powered, high paid professional would find in your proposed scheme, so my assumptions are pretty low level.

Your proposal hinges on even knowing what they own. That's already heavily obfuscated beyond some prestige projects they like to flaunt. I don't think that it would be feasible to enforce finding and knowing what they own, because it's already hidden in layers and layers of proxies, including non-profits, charities, etc.

Unless it isn't in his name, but someone who looks like a working Joe, then it doesn't really matter.

It wouldn't. They already run around solutions like this by using proxies, so they are never the official owner of assets they wish to hide from the tax man.

I am all to reform, but this can only ever successfully happen if you target these oligarchs directly and dedicate extraordinary amounts of resources on taking them down and whacking every single loop hole until you finally got them cornered.

This is a never ending cycle.

AlteredStateBlob, to memes in 🇪🇺 How the EU Feels about

I sure hope the courts toss that thing. It would be the single worst violation of peoples privacy since the internet became a thing. It's incredible that lobbyists and police unions have this much impact on policy creation.

AlteredStateBlob, to mildlyinfuriating in Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission

Germany introduced some digital ID functionality so you can do certain things online rather than having to go talk to someone in person, but that means that your ID isn't just a card anymore but has some digital elements to it as well. And apparently the apps to use that stuff are Windows based.
