I just meant is a normal human reaction (I even said it would be immoral. Did you see that?). I understand that people like to see this as some sort or 'justice'. You keep telling Brits that it's a bad decision and it would hurt them and then voilà, they suffer the consequences. It just feels good to be right but of course if you think about it a little you realize it's a overall terrible thing and feel bad for all the misled people.

Brexit showed us that situation like this the 'bigger person' in the conflict will try not to starve millions of people to death and will not simply cut them off. We as individualise would surely like to see Brits/Texans suffer all the consequences but politicians are usually more pragmatic than this and have to think long term. Turning Texas into 3rd world country wouldn't do any good to anyone. Blocking supplies as some sort of collective punishment would simply be immoral.

Of course they are not going to secede but if they did they would still get all the supplies they need. Their economy would suffer greatly but they would just blame US and keep going.

Privacy and cars are mutually exclusive. If you want privacy use public transport and pay in cash. With cars you have licence plate scanner, cameras and tollbooths everywhere (no to mention that most people drive with their phones on them). "They" will know where were you driving no matter what car you use. The question really is what data are you trying to hide and from who? The obvious thing to do is not to give your data to advertisers. Selling you shit is the whole point of most of the data collection. Just get extra phone and use some fake google account for android auto and you should be fine here. As for car companies all they will gather is some generic data about your driving habits but guess what? Everyone knows this already because driving is not private (again, if you want to hide this use public transport). So yeah, it would be nice for car companies to be more transparent about the data they gather and how they use it but it's really not a big issue. If you're paranoid about it then don't drive. If you're driving the data your car is leaking though analytics is not your biggest problem.

Come on, how can this be bad if it made some people a lot of money?

Is this the best joke ever written? No. Wait, I meant yes. Yes it is.

I speak some Russian and a bit of Arabic on top of the 3 other languages I'm fluent in so yeah, I guess I'm good.

How did they verify your age?

Nope, it's third. Jealous?

Oh, so you just felt bad about being American? That's pretty sad.

The desire of some people, even family, for revenge is not a good enough reason to murder someone. Such desire is perfectly natural for an individual but a state should be above this. The state should be caring for the good of the society as a whole and killing people doesn't bring anything good to it. This is something Europeans understood long time ago but Americans most probably never will.

Switzerland actually (but I was closer). I thought it was supposed to be instant not take minutes to lose consciousnesses. Struggling to breath for 10 seconds would be terrible. Minutes? No thank you. This definitely doesn't make it look any good.

In Spain they just let you drink a lot of pentobarbital at home. It's supervised by a doctor and hundredths of people already did it without issues. The pod is just a gimmick.

Even more alternate take: Ukraine got a sympathy win like in Eurovision?
