I posted it because of the crypto connection, also posted it in c/news

Weird, I didn’t even get that, but thanks for the archive link

What? I didn’t get a paywall so I assumed there wasn’t one sorry

Yes I would agree, but its unclear if this again means all Russians who are employed by any company. Because all Russian companies are sanctioned

Especially if you have kids.

Exactly, I’m fine with being on edge, but its not right to force that on kids if you can help it.

But its not clear that the compliance requirements are about being government affiliated…

Also apparently they are intending to re-add those who can be confirmed as unaffiliated with the Russian government.

Do you have a source for this? Because that would be really good news.

I don’t think this is about security implications, but I may be wrong. My understanding is this is related to the export sanctions, meant to hamper the Russian economy.

Yep, my reading of the law is the ban is specifically to do with “providing software services to Russians” and somehow collaborating on open-source software would be that. But I don’t entirely understand how.

You really want to go the pharmacy and hand them your ID and insurance card while the look you up and say “actually these condoms are ‘ribbed for her pleasure’ rather than ‘skin-feel’ so are not covered, also you’re over your condom allowance”. That would be so awkward barely anyone would bother.

I’ve never watched the movie but people have definitely gotten inheritance while marrying into a “lower class” before

What are you basing that on? Again, Libertarians lean Republican, just as Greens lean Democrats, Libertarians cost Trump 2020…

In 2016:

In Michigan Gary Johnson got 172,136 votes, in Pennsylvania he got 146,715, and in Wisconsin he got 106,674. If all Greens voted Clinton and all Libertarians voted Trump then New Mexico would’ve only been won by Clinton with around 1,000 votes, Colorado would’ve also been nearly Trump. Nevada, New Hampshire, and Minnesota would’ve been won by Trump. Maine might’ve gone majority Trump.

In 2020 if Libertarians went Republican and Greens went Democrat, Trump would’ve won Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and nearly Pennsylvania.

That would’ve tied the election, leading to a Trump presidency.

You’re right about 2000 though.

Without third parties Republicans would win more

David Duke’s endorsement is a slander, and I think he knows that and uses it intentionally.

I agree, but did you say the same when racists endorsed Trump?

It is not sarcastic

Controlling yourself means you have monopoly on force on yourself, meaning you are a state consisting of just yourself? Sounds like a pretty chill state.

From DuckDuckGo:

1. An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development occurs through the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.

2. An economic system based on predominantly private (individual or corporate) investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of goods and wealth; contrasted with socialism or especially communism, in which the state has the predominant role in the economy.

3. A socio-economic system based on private property rights, including the private ownership of resources or capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of a market unregulated by the state.

4. A socio-economic system based on the abstraction of resources into the form of privately-owned capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of a market unregulated by the state.

5. A specific variation or implementation of either such socio-economic system.

6. An economic system based on private ownership of capital.

This isn’t necessary for all of them, but from Wikipedia:

A state is a political entity that regulates society and the population within a territory.

Slave masters are regulators of population, so they are an actor of the state.
