We wish they were that cool, the inventors of the modern mile were more concerned about land measurements. A square mile is 640 acres. Which neatly can be cut into quarters 3 times. 160, 40, 10.

Just in case anyone comes along to question this.

No, they just want someone who will appeal to the common person as maybe caring.

I said it during his initial campaign run. A “business man” as leader of the country isn’t a horrible thing. Trump and many others are horrible picks for that role though. People will reject that because government isn’t supposed to be for profit but it really is. As taxpayers we just need to rethink what “profit” looks like to us. Universal healthcare, UBI, proper investment in the country, proper ma/pa ternity leave can easily be taxpayer funded and on and on. A good leader will stifle borrowing by the US and make some headway towards our enormous debt while still finding something that works for us as voters.

Pay your taxes on it and no problem.

That is not true. If it’s pre 1898 it’s antique, beyond that it is classified as a destructive device and has a whole bunch of red tape. Anytime you see words $200 tax stamp it isn’t easy to get.

And even a pre 1898 cannon is going to cost you $8k+ for a rusted out POS that will explode if you try to actually fire it.

Work with commercial sized inkjet printers. They are all scams even at that level.

It a little hard to blame them since they were sold the end of pensions and rise of the 401k. Which the bottom 60% of the country has close to zero of and then they can’t make a living wage because the shareholders demand a greater return every year.

No. That isn’t how it works either. Well they might use that to meet the pr pledge but that isn’t the same as taking the deduction.

As I told the other person if you actual have any proof to back that up report it to the IRS and collect your bounty.

Why don’t you show me any proof otherwise if you know so much.

In fact if you have any proof otherwise why don’t you send it to the IRS they pay actual bounties on actionable tips on tax evasion.

The company doesn’t get to tax write off other peoples donations.

You can monitor your site traffic during the ad campaign and see if it goes up by a reasonable rate per impression though?

Sure I suppose they could lie and you happen to have such a well crafted ad that it has a super high click rate and you are getting scammed but I think that is highly unlikely. Especially depending on your target it would be easy to check.

Because you have your own logs to compare if traffic increases or not?

Reddit was it but not anymore

Because that doesn’t kill the competition.

I have been so spoiled by my 3pa I can’t even look at the old.wasit.com I just see

Idk how people put up with that.

That’s because it is a bear.

Maybe, but having a sense of community maked a big difference in keeping people engaged when communities are small and need to grow. There are certainly plenty of spaces that should be kept clean and on topic but if everything is always dry and boring you will have limited engagement and limited repeats.

When a lurker knows how to “newfags can’t triforce”

Or respond to “Red Leader standing by.”

Then they see positive feedback from the community they feel like they are part of the community vs an observer and tribalism is one of the strongest features/bugs of humanity.

This also helps keep discussions civil when you can realize the person you have having a disagreement with regarding “tensor wave field dynamics in corn flakes” isn’t just a raging dick because they used the “specific gravity of skim milk instead of whole milk like you were.”

Edit: make to makes and mile to milk

Opt out, we already have robots.txt for this and would work just as well as any legislation.

You will never be able to tell if bad actors are violating your ToS or the law unless they keep raw data stored for inspection.

Even if AIPrime respects your wishes and doesn’t scrape your site I potentially have the ability to feed it anything I have access to. I won’t claim to have the largest data library on earth but I have been data hoarding since the mid 90s and would gladly share it with a company I feel is aligned with my beliefs.

I don’t know why we should be surprised. This is just natural progression and even if they don’t explicitly send it out to a specific location on its own eventually it will find and consume the information in one way or another unless it is kept in an isolated box. There is absolutely no legislation that will fix/stop this unless 100% of all people capable of creating these will respect such a decision and being the odd groups out will severely hamper their future.
