  Actually, James wouldn’t mind marrying her, but he has one condition she’s refusing to accept - he wants to be the one wearing the dress during the wedding.

  You can probably get away with it if you write it in a confusing enough fashion; but you need to make it really confusing - to the point even CPU architecture experts could miss it unless they pay very close attention; and remember that the claims - which are the only part of the patent that has any legal meaning - may be limited by law to a single sentence each, but there is no limit on how cumbersome each sentence is; additionally, semicolons are not sentence terminators; this means that this entire comment I just wrote is technically a only one sentence.

  Not every power imbalance is automatically coercive.

  The problem is that power imbalances make it impossible to establish consent:

  • The underling has no guarantee that refusing will not result in retribution.
  • The superior has no way to know if the underling’s agreement is true consent or if it was out of fear of retribution.

  If you are American, you should buy Chinese tech because the Chinese government is more interested in spying on and controlling its own people than you.

  Why are you approaching other people’s kids and take away their ipads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny - I assume on one here was actually involved in creating the law that requires identification when buying pornography (or alcohol. Or tobacco) at stores, but we are all considered responsible for it to the point we are hypocrite if we object a similar law?

  If someone says they are against that law now, years after it’s already established and spread, it won’t be taken as “I’m generally against the government limiting our freedom to consume what we want” but as “I want to push children to consume porn/alcohol/tobacco”. So no one argues against these laws. But it’s much more feasible to argue against the new laws - a ship that’s still in the port.

  30 years from now, when they make the law that neural implants must detect illegal thoughts in the users’ biological brains and block them, you’d make the argument that it’s not fundamentally different than blocking the same topics on the internet - a practice that, by that time, will already be accepted by the general populace.
