I think that's how a large part of European languages still work.

I don't think it's Steam setting the prices.

Sorry to bother you, but how do you check/block scripts? Personally I use Firefox with uBO and Noscript, but noscript seems pretty rudimentary since it only lets you block domains. Me not knowing what the various per-domain toggles mean doesn't help either.

A GDPR infection on the wallet, I'd hope.

Or (being devil's advocate here): just don't be a fucking slut. Have like 3 partners and have ypur website pick the best offer dynamically, it's not that hard. In the end they all use AdSense, so they don't even need to give data to the other 873 or even Google itself - as you said ads don't have to be targeted. Although it's not as if it won't get there anyway.

Not neccessarily. A spun off YouTube would still have YouTube premium and ad revenue. They could also sell user data to 3rd parties (I doubt Google currently does it on a large since it's in their interest to have a better ad network than its competitiors). A move similar to Reddit's with their API and exclusive search agreement or agreements to feed certain videos to AI would both fetch a higher price and upset the quality less since the vast majorty of videos watched are found through YouTube itself.

Also, the collar may cause slight discomfort including (but not limited to) itching, rashes, choking, rashes and llergic reactions). For such cases, we have technitians availiable in 20+ of the world's largest cities to help you alleviate the symptoms! (You'll have to get an appointment through a fake AI robocall first)

T&CAny attempt to touch the collar by a person not wearing it will cause the collar to start burning the flesh of both the toucher and wearer. When the wesrer wishes to use Adobe Elements, they have to plug in their collar into the computer. Only the wearer may touch the wire of the collar - any attempt by a 3rd party to touch the collar will cause a 80dB screeching noise to be emitted by the collar. Any complains must be arbitrated. We will not budge like those pussies over at Disney. If you're an EU citizen you have to renounce your citizenship if you wish to use Adobe products. Our products may onle be used in progressive democracies with strong corporate freedom of forced arbitration.

SpoilerTbh I think I sold them way too short since their agreement would be at least 35000 words long

He belongs in a home.

He would if he wasn't a felon. He belongs in jail.

Of course they can't carve "this".

They can't carve anything since they're all long dead.

Wasn't there a N64 Pokemon game (Pokemon Safari?) Where you take photos of pokemon?

I guess Nintendo quashed its own patent.

Rhetoric does mean speech. It's usually used in a political context, so incediary rhetoric would be incidiary (political) speech.

Other than that, rhetoric is often equated with the policies talked about, so Trump's rhetoric would be anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, pro-Russia, etc.

As for the 'it's not rhetoric' part of the title - I think they meant it's not just speech, it's verifiable - so no direct meaning of 'lie' anywhere although the meaning of 'lie' is heavily implied.
