if you order 1 banana you'll get a free coupon for 0.001 off your next order of a dell usb stick (no wire or device included)
ordering a single banana is completely normal behaviour though

So, I fell asleep before talking about it earlier
but that "digital Grinch" bill is the most unenforceable way to combat scalpers ever
I bet your servers are just laughing at it
they're literally tacking it on to a bill that outlaws reselling sports tickets
you know.... that thing that there's a whole industry around
guess that law banning this in 2015 worked really well
the law is also like 5 lines
"uh, the FTC will do something, and make companies do something"
Cyber Grinch
is also
the worst rename ever
most laws passed since 2000 have been unenforcible, or are shadow laws that just authorize the NSA/FBI to do illegal shit with no oversight
The reason people still argue about Obama care
is because it's literally one of the only laws passed in the last 10 years
that did anything
idk anymore
I kind of believe politicians are like Rob
and think this is "doing something"
idk if I buy that it's all just theatre
In some respect, it's good that the government doesn't really do much
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 In some respect, it's good that the government doesn't really do much
true tho
the good news, is they're not doing anything
the bad news, it that it's expensive
the government has no inherent reason to care about anything besides its own self interests.
it won't respond to human values unless there is some agent that gives it an actual reason to care.
and voting isn't human since that many people together is just statistics, which can be analyzed and exploited better than ever in today's era.
most problems people care about also aren't even real, or are mostly artifical, anyway
and politicians have no incentive to 'fix' anything, since people being salty about problems is one of their main source of votes/support. and they won't ever get any backlash for not doing anything because so many people are content to blame the enemies that have been provided for them by the media instead of asking for more to be done
obviously the solution is to just live on a boat, by the way

wouldnt say they have no reason to, but yeah, the bigger a system gets, the less democratic
hencewhy your whole states rights thing is kinda cool etc
