I don't see the problem. The last time insurance company tried to BS their way out of the insurance payout, I actually did get the lawyer involved and I successfully got them to ad…

Do you really believe that you can discharge a debt of $35,000 simply by saying "I don't support Safari" to your creditor? I would not try that tactic with a bank, I can tell you t…

Yeah, for some reason I ran into that issue, too. I'm not giving my governmental ID to some random corporation. If that means I can't use their services, then so be it. Someone alw…

Then I save some money and give them to a different company :)

Not gonna happen. Ever. If a web requires me to do this to access it, I simply refuse. The last time I needed some web was my electricity company - sent them a ticket with a compla…

Yeah, I have correctly set up robots.txt - if they won't respect that, F them. Bandwidth is not free and I don't mind giving it out to individuals, but I'm not feeding multi-billio…

Future is, unfortunately, probably getting back to piracy in some shape or form. Especially with the general idea of the industry that buying something does not mean you own it. In…

I'm thinking about the US in the similar manner as the whole EU, and this is probably the source of my misunderstanding. I'm not surprised by the fact that California has a differe…

That was, of course, a little bit of an exaggeration just to paint a picture. And it was not that important to the overall argument, that's why I formulated it so lazily (I wanted …

Thanks for the clarification! I don't really watch US politics up close that much so this is a new info for me. But if these things are true, it means that political representation…

You can be charged, sentenced and then *released* as an illegal without anyone notifying ICE? Wow, that's wild! So the federal justice system & laws are completely separate from th…

That's what I find so strange as a European - how can you be in country for decades & still function? Like getting a bank account, employment, medical assistance - all of this shou…

I have been checked like that as I travel a lot through the Europe. And atleast in my case I just showed them my ID, they ran it through the database and that was the end of it. It…

As an non-American, this situation seems really crazy and is quite hard to understand for me. Why would anyone want to prevent deportation of someone, who is in the country illegal…

I completely agree with the first sentence - however I would argue that normal, level-headed and sane person either laughs or just shrugs and moves on if that particular joke is no…

Why on Earth would jokes have to "tolerate" race, religion and gender or anything else? The point of (some) jokes is to challenge anything and everything you deem to be a norm. I'm…

Expecting software to "behave sensibly" is your own faulty assumption. I write software and I've learned never to expect such thing in an environment, that almost anything can bug …

Software bugs out sometimes. You cannot assume that everything will work as you expect even without easter eggs like this. If this triggers you so much then maybe, just maybe you c…

Oh yeah, I've spent many hours on DELLs trying to solve S0ix sleep states... What a pain in the butt that is. There are few major pain points: 1) Every component has to be in the r…
