Fuck ads, obviously, but I can understand there's confusion here.

If GPC says "do not sell my data", but the user subsequently opts in via the cookie banner (or vice-versa), you have two conflicting signals. There's no clear case law or anything that says what to do. Or what should happen if the same user sends different GPC signals depending on their device or browser.

Although I guess the easiest solution is just "do not sell data if any signal suggests it's not allowed", but that doesn't line advertisers' pockets I guess.

International waters are often confused with international straits. The strait of Hormuz is considered an international strait (but not international waters). In international straits, international shipping can by international law not be closed off to neutral nations, ships must be allowed to pass through. So Iran can block Israeli and US ships (and possibly UK/gulf state ships if they participate in the war), but e.g. a Peruvian or Chinese or Thai vessel should be allowed to pass.

According to genealogical research published by Henry Louis Gates Jr., 17 of Leo's American ancestors were Black, listed in census records as mulatto, Black, Creole or a free person of color. His family tree includes slaveholders and enslaved people, Gates wrote in The New York Times.

I think it's to suggest that this fine won't do anything to motivate Amazon to go full electric.

Even if we somehow manage through great effort to prevent the worst effects from climate change, these morons will just take that as proof that it was all a hoax.

There's no winning with those people.

When we talk about bike lanes in general, there aren’t enough people riding bikes to make it worthwhile. There’s too many cars on the road. It’s unrealistic to say we’re going to put in bike lanes, but there aren’t enough people riding bikes. What are we gonna do? Tell everyone to go out and buy a bike? How many people are going to do that?

Someone teach this guy what "induced demand" is.

Ultimately you don't need much more than loyalty. If enough of the top brass are willing to follow Shoigu, his demotion won't matter.

I honestly haven't seen a Tigger meme on western social media either, only the meme regarding Xi. Regardless, the Winnie the Pooh memes were banned on Chinese social media, so ultimately the CCP did not consider it very adorable.

They decided that Winnie the Pooh comparisons are racist because of Pooh's yellow fur, as well as the rest of the original meme comparing Obama to Tigger (which is also racist since Tigger rhymes with "nigger"). Hence they consider it a rule 1 violation.

It's a very narrow view of the meme, ignoring all other reasons why the comparison was made. The supposed "racism" towards Xi seems hard to argue for when it was Chinese netizens making the meme in the first place.

Apparently we stop the impending robot army by just putting up some steps at the border.
