@Owl @phnt > I agree with you on the moral principle.
My counter to it is that I don't like the thing that's being sold, so I don't buy the thing that is being sold. Porn is bad in general, sure. So I don't consume it.

I used to hold this view, but I think it has societally ill effects. It’s somewhat like saying that heroin is bad but by refraining from using it yourself, it’s fine. This just leads to people lying about in the streets drooling on the floor, or breaking into homes to fund it.

> But being governed by a marriage of corporate overreach and government overreach is not a good thing.

I think realistically, the thing here is that it’s just being executed extremely poorly. Much like the war on drugs, the true issue is with the supply and not the consumption. The consumption is more akin to a disease, still not good to have around, but not entirely the conscious fault of the afflicted usually. The best way to deal with this would be to not use payment processors and instead deal with the producers. This kind of thing just drives them underground.

> They'll come for your space next. That's the problem. They go for the disliked things first as a testbed to see what they can get away with, and then when they see they get no significant pushback and see the what the barometer reads, they go for other stuff too.

They came after my space decades ago. People act as if I’m the one who will be caught out next due to this when it’s I who was initially limited, while such people got away with societally damaging behavior.

Regulations on business, restrictions on land use, the curtailing of aristocratic privileges, the equality laws that mean insurers can’t target the ones actually causing problems, the loss of Empire and autarky, the restriction of firearms (due to the actions of a known sex offender), the increasing of taxes. Many, many more things as well.

This is a big part of what annoys me. People acting as if some private companies finally going after a societal ill is the first step rather than being one of hundreds of steps, and one that ultimately they should have taken in the very first place.

Solid point actually. It's not like I'm silent on the issue, when it's relevant I do bring up many facts.

>I think realistically, the thing here is that it’s just being executed extremely poorly.

It kind of proves my point that you shouldn't ever accept being governed this way because it's always a screw up waiting in the wings. It is never executed properly. Some might say that's intentional.

>People acting as if some private companies finally going after a societal ill

They're not though, this is what they're saying they're doing, but it's not.

A woman, identified as Colombian TikToker and pro-illegal immigration activist Tatiana Martinez, known for documenting ICE activity and potentially doxxing agents, was arrested on Friday in Los Angeles, with footage of the incident going viral. [ 👀 ]

According to netizens, she has contributed to the chaos in Los Angeles, inciting protesters and rioters against ICE agents. She currently has over 37,000 followers on TikTok. One clip circulating on social media shows Martinez resisting arrest and shouting at officers before they pull her out of the passenger seat of a Tesla...another clip shows the incident from her point of view. Martinez can be heard shouting “Esperate” or “Wait.” She was apparently filming a live TikTok video when police closed in on her.

Sewa Mobil Bandung Aman dan Terjangkau


Kota Bandung, daerah dengan berjuta-juta daya tarik, terus-menerus menjadi sasaran primadona pelancong dan pengusaha dari macam lokasi. Dengan pesona panorama, adat, santapan, dan shopping center yang variatif, mobilitas menjadi faktor penting saat datang ke kota ini. Tak aneh, layanan penyewaan kendaraan di Bandung terus meningkat karena membawa kenyamanan dan fleksibilitas dalam menjelajahi aneka penjuru kota. Namun, sebelum memutuskan memakai solusi tersebut, ada beberapa poin krusial yang perlu diutamakan agar aktivitas menyewa kendaraan di kota ini benar-benar menguntungkan dan lancar.

Pertama, jamin kamu mengambil layanan rental mobil bandung yang terbukti dan memiliki reputasi bagus. Reputasi ini bisa kamu cek melalui ulasan penyewa di internet, sosial media, atau forum-forum wisata. Solusi yang berpengalaman biasanya memiliki unit yang terpelihara, pengemudi yang profesional, serta sistem pemesanan yang terstruktur. Abaikan penawaran dengan biaya yang terlalu murah, karena bisa jadi ada biaya tidak terduga atau mobil yang tidak prima.

Berikutnya, tinjau tujuan dan tujuan perjalanan kamu. Jika kamu tiba bersama anggota keluarga, tentu kendaraan keluarga seperti Toyota Kijang atau Toyota Hiace menjadi opsi yang cocok. Namun, untuk trip pendek atau tujuan kerja, mobil kecil seperti Toyota Avanza atau Honda Brio mungkin lebih hemat dan efisien. Rental mobil di Bandung umumnya mempunyai berbagai pilihan kendaraan sesuai kebutuhan, baik pakai driver maupun tanpa sopir. Gunakan pilihan yang paling sesuai agar perjalanan kamu tetap menyenangkan dan berkesan.

Poin ketiga, amati mekanisme sewa dan jangka waktu yang diberikan. Beberapa perusahaan rental mobil Bandung memberikan skema sewa per 24 jam, mingguan, bahkan per bulan. Yakinkan kamu menyadari poin-poin perjanjian, termasuk tarif overtime, ketentuan penggagalan sewa, dan perlindungan mobil. Jangan ragu meminta penjelasan secara rincian agar tidak ada miskomunikasi di masa mendatang. Hubungan yang terbuka dengan pihak rental akan memastikan memberikan transaksi sewa yang lancar.

Keempat, pertimbangkan aspek iklim dan kontur jalan di Bandung. Bandung memiliki permukaan tanah yang beragam, dari wilayah pusat yang ramai hingga tempat tinggi seperti daerah Lembang dan kawasan Ciwidey yang berlereng dan berliku. Maka dari itu, pastikan kendaraan yang kamu pakai dalam keadaan optimal, terutama komponen rem, ban, dan air conditioner. Jika kamu tidak kenal dengan jalan di daerah tersebut, menggunakan pengemudi bisa menjadi solusi aman agar kamu bisa menjalani trip tanpa cemas tersesat.

Di samping itu, usahakan kamu melakukan booking lebih awal, terutama saat libur panjang atau hari libur. Lonjakan pesanan pada masa-masa itu sering kali menyebabkan armada segera habis. Dengan pesan sejak dini, kamu bisa memperoleh kendaraan unggulan dan penawaran terbaik. Beberapa jasa rental mobil Bandung juga menawarkan promo spesial untuk reservasi daring atau pelanggan setia, jadi tak ada salahnya untuk mengonfirmasi penawaran terkini.

Tak kalah penting, wajib dipastikan alat transportasi yang kamu rental sudah memiliki dengan administrasi sah seperti identitas kendaraan dan proteksi aktif. Ini penting sebagai langkah antisipasi jika terjadi kejadian tak terencana selama mobilitas. Kendaraan yang berizin dan dicover asuransi akan menghadirkan kenyamanan selama kamu menyusuri tempat-tempat populer di wilayah Bandung.

Pada akhirnya, mengambil pilihan sewa mobil Bandung yang tepat bisa membantu kunjunganmu di wilayah ini menjadi jauh lebih tenang dan praktis. Entah itu untuk urusan liburan bersama anggota keluarga, road trip santai, hingga keperluan bisnis yang padat, kendaraan sewa memberi kamu ruang gerak leluasa tanpa harus tergantung pada transportasi umum.

Dengan menentukan perusahaan rental kendaraan Bandung yang memiliki reputasi, memiliki armada lengkap, serta respons tim support yang ramah, kamu tidak hanya memperoleh mobil, tetapi juga sensasi menyetir yang bebas gangguan dan tanpa tekanan.

Mr. Vandemar slid his knife back into the holster in his sleeve. He put his coat on as well, pushed his hands deep into the pockets, and was pleasantly surprised to find an almost untouched mouse in one pocket. Good. He was hungry. Then he pondered Mr. Croup’s last statement with the intensity of an anatomist dissecting his one true love, and, realizing the flaw in his partner’s logic, Mr. Vandemar said, “We don’t need a bodyguard, Mister Croup. We hurt people. We don’t get hurt.”

Mr. Croup turned out the lights. “Oh, Mister Vandemar,” he said, enjoying the sound of the words, as he enjoyed the sound of all words, “if you cut us, do we not bleed?”

Mr. Vandemar pondered this for a moment, in the dark. Then he said, with perfect accuracy, “No.”
