Unfortunately it is like banning "bad words", grape and unalive just take their place, full meaning intact. The glasses manufacturer will just invest in better hidden cameras. Creepers gonna creep. Honestly, much more brutal laws against creeping and actual enforcement to make it a huge risk for some shoddy spank-bank deposits, would have people going "I'm not risking even wearing those" and the company suffering. Bottomlines are all that make things change anymore.

    EvE Online It was LIFE, and I love the game....nothing like it and it is NOT for everyone. When I finally freed myself from it...I'd never go back and never suggest others do. It is life consuming.

    4.5k hours and 100% (content and achievements as of the Motorcycles update, when I mostly stopped playing)...I also don't recommend it. Great game, fun to have in my state because I can sit and play for an hour and have a blast and put it down...but it has too much random little crap that vampires your time when you don't have anything. Also, powercreep and TONS of trash content that is pseudo mandatory (arching, etc)

    What in the Apple products are you trying to do Google? Guess we will just dump you like we did Windows when they put 11 out and the Linux draw became too great.

    Strategically, politically, and economically is what I was talking about. the dark folks puppeting the GOP and trump we caught off guard last time. Now they ere prepared and are making huge plays that destabilize and put the US into inexorable decline. This one wasn't one we come back from. Now, that said, your point of view is something I did make assumptions about. If you mean just for the average citizen over the next few years, maybe a decade...then yeah, it should be okish. I wouldn't be hopeful, but it isn't end of days stuff yet. Also, if you position is as someone external to the US, then yeah, the ultimate fall of the US is absolutely a wonderful thing as larger external muntinational groups are forming in preparation for such a fall and to become self-reliant. The EU has a lot to gain from this collapse. So, in a way, you are right.

    This is also all happening while China is pushing BRICS. Then you have moron American leadership that thinks USAID was the US being nice and costing us money when it was entirely a US soft-power projection strategy that is now a vacuum for China to fill. When idiots that don't understand things vote in idiots that know nothing, the USA loses hegemony and that never comes back. Also, side note, while abysmal for the future of the US, freaking amazing for the world in the long run!

    I remember an old interview with a defector Soviet spy. He said infiltrating governments is hard and risky...infiltrate mayor's offices and school boards and push adgeclndas that create useless citizens. Play the generationally long game and the unstoppable US empire will kill itself. Well played sir. You won.
