You can see that on Socialblade when he released the political shit.

because everytime he did that, he got big red numbers - like thousands leaving...

Me included.

depends. i support the original idea and intent of the eu. i do not support the current implementation or policies.

@I AM ERROR I agree with that. EU was intended as a trade Plattform and as that it was good.
Right now its an authoritarian state. And that is a very bad idea.

The Euro should never have been introduced as a physical currency, mandatory for the EU States.

it should always have been a floating, virtual currency for Companies. That's what it was intended for

i would not even necessarily have a problem with the eu being "a country" if the democratic process was the same or similar as it is in the US and/or Germany. I mean... if i can co-exist with bavarians i can co-exist with the french 😄 😉

Problem is that the democratic process is basically non-existent.

If the MEPs and the Central committee members were elected by the voting public in the member states, then the EU as we know it today would not exist.

probably not, no

Imagine if the EU had adopted a varation of the Connecticut Compromise? 2 CC members per state, one MEP per so many thousand people.

too much power for smaller countries 😉 😒

That is what the Connecticut compromise was, Sherman of Connecticut called for the ballancing of power that keeps the little guys form being dismissed but concentrating too much power in their hands.

if the big 5 can't dismiss the smaller countries, the smaller countries have obviously too much power.

If the Big 5 want to dismiss the smaller countries, then the smaller countries need the protection

i mean... what are smaller countries good for? apart from delivering cheap labor.

next you're gonna tell me that citizens of eastern europe have human rights or something...

Every state or country has assest that they add to the mix. Belgium houses the small arms production for a third of the world imagine if they got silenced because German wants HK to have those contracts.

Call me weird, call me a republican, but I beleive everyone should be heard and the governments should represent the people not the government

that would be a lot of silencers. why is belgium even allowed to produce anything other than waffles?

i should throw around more /s i think the tone in my voice does not translate well into text form...

but the government does not represent the government. the government represents the company that offers the best jobs once the politicians leave government.

And I think that is wrong too, but that it another problem that needs to be worked on.

@Beemann same

Thunderfoot steered away from the political crap

Right into the gay

I prefer thunderf00t when he's full on debunking shady kickstarters and false sciences

https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/24/18196419/google-supreme-court-code-copyright << has nothing to do with whether _code_ can be copyrighted, and it's not _Google_ that's been "battling" Oracle, but the other way around.

lol

seriously how the fuck do they manage to write such a ridiculously incorrect headline?

if that company have failed to build a safe and workable PC, of course they wouldn't be able to understand the difference between API and blatant code plagiarism.

But also as I said in the general chat, the current trend of programmers that relies on each other's API is pretty unnerving

yet it's also necessary to meet the strict deadline

Ted Bundy is now husbando material apparently.

dude some ppl like it risque

"the current trend of programmers that relies on each other's API is pretty unnerving"

Progammers are notoriously lazy. Why re-write something if someone else already did it and works well enough for your purpose?

Sounds pretty fake with no credible sources. Still funny if true

SHe'll be gone in a couple of years

She's too naive/dumb to hang with the establishment Dems, much less challenge their political machine.

Pretty sure Cortez will stay only if the DNC wants her to, and their voter base remains apathetical
