Capitalism does not work because companies will always seek to grow more and more and more. It's the core of capitalism. You need anti-capitalist policies to keep companies small.

Yes, but with our current knowledge, we can only do our best at drawing the line of sentience. With what we know of plants, we can safely conclude they are not.

If that knowledge changes someday to point at plants being sentient, then we can redefine what is ethical.

There is no such thing, with our current knowledge, as plant suffering. And that's all we can base our opinion and ethics on. The hypothetical that plants may suffer is irrelevant in ethics discussions until we have any evidence that they do.

It absolutely is. Have a look at the definition of authoritarianism, China checks all the boxes.

A ceasefire with guarantee not to repeat aggressions is either a lie or a defeat

Of course. Nothing is black and white. This was a real issue, but still abused by anti-EU propaganda to weaken us.

This whole rethoric, on every topic, of "this is just a distraction/smokescreen for that other awful thing" pisses me off.

Everything they do is awful, everything they do is their plan. None of it is a distraction or a smokescreen.

I'll stay sceptical until there is court cases supporting this logic as a precedent.

This is a tactic used by far right parties for much longer than China and Russia have had the chance to interfere with US and Europe politics.

Republicans picked these wedge issues all by themselves, following the manual of fascism to the T.

Aquamation is, as far as I know, the most sustainable way to have your remains disposed of, and even reused. You may want to look into that!

No, they can't.

What some parties in the EU want is to force chat services provider to give them access to chat messages, which destroys the entire point of encrypted chats and essentially bans E2E chat encryption

It's not really a concern anymore, now that pretty much all a lambda user's traffic is encrypted. Anyone collecting your wifi traffic only sees garbage.

Websites also can't be so easily spoofed. The spoofer would need to have a certificate issued by an authority trusted by your device for the spoofed domain, which is highly, highly unlikely to happen as long as your software is up to date, which nowadays is done automatically.

So really, the fear of untrusted public wifi is a thing of the past, and a good marketing lie for VPN companies.

Then they will someday wake up with a shock, because no amount of tech will stop 99% of the population from winning a revolution. That only happens in movies.

Plus, many countries would riot far before it gets to this point. We frenchies protested for years "just" because of our retirement being pushed a few years...
