I'm normally not one to kink shame, but I'm shaming you right now.

Russia invaded Ukraine. If Russia wants peace, then all they have to do is, you know, stop invading? That's not really a bias statement. That's just basic facts that have nothing to do with empire approved narratives.

Much like trusting the US with a far right person in power, why would anyone trust Russia or China with their own far right people in power? They are only trying to "support" you if you can give them something they need, and the minute you ask for anything in return, the phone doesn't answer. This isn't exclusive to Russia or China or the US, this just how hugely powerful entities act around much less powerful entities.

This is something that happens in beach cities in CA. People get drunk at the beach bars and then take the beach bike path home. However, those paths are used by pedestrians and other cyclists going at high speeds.

It's not bootlicking, you weirdo. It's recognizing when one thing is right and one thing is wrong. Just because a company does something doesn't make it automatically wrong.

I know it might be a crazy concept that is hard to grasp, but the world isn't totally black and white. It's almost like bad people can do good things sometimes. And good people can do bad things sometimes. Your way of thinking is exactly the way Republicans justify all the evil shit they do. They are religious, which makes them good people, and therefore everything they do is good. In your case, you think a corporation is bad and therefore everything they do is bad.

The person who owns a trademark or copyright has a right to use that trademark and the onus to defend that trademark from other people using it. We used to allow anyone to call themselves anything they way, and it turned out badly.

Theft is when something you own is taken away. The squatter never owned the domain, only registered to use it. In this case, ICANN owns the domain and allows a registrar to handle who can use that domain. ICANN sets strict rules on how domains can be used, and the squatter broke those rules.

Maybe the judge is a little smarter on actual laws than you are.

This isn't about an intangible thing being property. This is about the way domains are controlled. Nobody owns a domain, they register the right to use a domain. All domains are controlled and "owned" by ICANN, which allows registrars to handle who can use domains.

They are not anyone's property.

The point isn't that intangible objects can't be property. The point is that domains are not legally owned by people or corporations. You can pay for the right to use one, but you don't own it.

What sucks is that a lot of commercial companies in L.A. use the .la domain, which is blocked by my company's proxy.

What is News about it? A private person is dating another private person. Neither are public officials, or even politically relevant anymore.

Does France not already have a giant database of citizens and various visa holders with their information and all that? Do they not give out cards to use at the doctor's office?

What extra burden would "not giving out that card to retirement visa holders" add?
