Recursive double negative.
Some believe there’s a special place for such people.

If it was possible for Epstein to compromise Windows and have access to spy on people.
Maybe Bill Gates would just do that to spy on Epstein. So when Epstein tried to extort Bill Gates, Bill gates would have a thousand times the compromising material on Epstein.

So the very simple answer using Occam’s razor is none.

First the price is set to maximize profits, nothing else.

The reason it’s cheap in Japan is probably because the value is low for Japanese people, so they don’t want to pay more, the price they’ve set is the balance between how many subscribers they can get to maximize the total revenue and profits.

In India I imagine the value for the individual might be better, but it’s a poor country, so the low price is necessary for people to afford it.

Second they have copyright deals that vary greatly by region, so cost and content can vary greatly too.

But you can be 100% sure that the low price in India isn’t because they want to be nicer to the Indians. It’s because that’s the price that will earn them the most money.

It’s clearly not a crime

If you are rich. Just as with most other crimes.

Almost lost an eye at age 12, almost lost my mom at age 2…

Because of wearing glasses?

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 12, and I’ve had a car and drivers license for decades.
Why do you keep trusting your own mistaken logic over actual statistics based on real life? Why don’t you look it up for yourself?
You are the one that sounds like you are not wearing glasses, I’ve never heard anyone using glasses having similar fears you have.
Your fear is paranoid and delusional. Let’s hear it, which eyeball was taken out by the glasses on who?
My guess is it never happened, because glasses are designed in a way that makes it practically impossible to happen.
I’ve been in numerous accidents wearing glasses, on bicycle, kayaking and even a pretty serious one in a car once, where my entire body hurt for weeks, so it was a pain to lie down even on a super soft mattress. I’ve never been hurt by my glasses, I’ve only had to replace them sometimes, which is of course annoying and expensive. And I’ve also never heard about either friends or family or statistics that say there’s an actual problem wearing glasses in accidents.

That’s very very stupid, I never heard about anyone getting hurt by the glasses because of the airbag.
using just 10 seconds looking it up, reveals that glasses do not significantly increase risk of eye injury from airbags.
And remember in the context of research significantly means it is not statistically significant, meaning the number is so small it’s within statistical error.
So disabling the airbag that demonstrably saves lives, to avoid a statistically non existent danger, is about as moronic as it gets.

Yes I have, I once saw a Kellogg advertisement in the 90’s, claiming that Kelogg is part of a healthy breakfast, obviously that advertisement was quickly banned and Kelogg was issued a fine form misleading advertisement.
Generally I just assume American advertisements to be misleading, but that isn’t too much an issue in civilized countries.
But for more than 20 years now, I don’t see advertising at all. Except when visiting friends and family, because they are too stupid to get around it.
And of courser also except when I do my daily shopping, because the boxing itself is also kind of advertising, but it can’t be false, because that’s illegal here, because I live in a civilized country.

Absolutely next best thing to unboxing videos, except we don’t have moving pictures, and the requirement of being able to read limit the audience by a great deal.

Unboxing is probably the most groundbreaking cultural breakthrough humanity has seen for at least a decade.
Now people can see what’s in the box without having to buy it. Before unboxing videos, we had to rely on pictures and descriptions.
Now we have MOVING pictures and descriptions.

Example before unboxing videos:
I wonder what’s in this package that says “electric cooker”?
Surprise surprise, there’s an actual electric cooker, that matches the pictures and specifications on the box!!

After unboxing videos:
Just as was shown on the unboxing video, the electric cooker matches the pictures and specifications on the box!!

Expected errors are the worst, they don’t even pop up an error message, but just keep fucking things up in the background.

It’s so nice to get a more specific error message to narrow it down. Error of the type error, should make the fix easy peasy.

Yes batteries are getting real cheap now, they are less than half the price they were when we bought our system 2½ years ago.
With sodium battery production scaling up, those will probably be both even cheaper more durable and safer.
So a couple of years down the road, the value of buying batteries will probably be insane.

Go on (the) Xitter and be as bigoted a Nazi as you like.
X pronounced SH like in Chinese.

Probably the same way you got pineapple from Ananas.

most people are deluding themselves if they think their cooking is better than any restaurant that isn’t totally terrible.

Absolutely true.

It does not take very many tries to start cooking better than a restaurant.

Goddam it must be some lousy restaurants in your area.
My wife cooks really good food, and I love her food. But a proper restaurant with a proper chef, they are better than good, they are professionals and also professionals at picking fresh produce and good cuts to use.

But I agree, it’s pretty easy to learn to cook a decent meal.

And the best part is you can make sure that only your favorite ingredients get in there.

It also means the food will have less variation. To appreciate good cooking properly, you need variation.

I just open sites in private windows, but u/yaroto98 made a comment showing that using Firefox, you don’t have to anymore.

Firefox is your savior.

Wow that’s amazing I didn’t know that, and I’ve been using Firefox in like forever.
I just checked my browser settings, and sure there it was: edit menu -> settings -> privacy and security
And it was enabled just like the page you linked writes it’s supposed to be. 👍

I have no idea when that feature was added, I never noticed any negative results from it. Everything works like it’s supposed to, like digital signature, banking, and a number of special sites that use cookies to make it easier to use them.

Nice to know I don’t always have to use private windows to avoid cookie snooping between sites.
Another win for Firefox! 😀 😎 👍
