I'm sure google will never pull the same stunt as Amazon. They're the good guys!

Bell TV in Canada doesn't support Samsung TVs because Bell is stupid. The only option is to use an external device. It's a good thing I don't care about their TV app. I only have access because it comes free with fibre internet.

Arguably, they might never have made any money because they were being out-competed in many rural areas by alternative internet options, including regular broadband and cellular. The need for Loon was decreasing even before they had a major rollout of their technology.

If the layoffs are for valid reasons, such as the plant not requiring a shift or reduction in cars being sold. It might be legal.

It's a hospital. They don't tow because they charge you on the way out. This guy's estate is going to be broke!

I empathize with your story, but I'm not sure why it became about anti-women doctors. Men constantly have our complaints misdiagnosed.

The problem is that most GPs aren't very good. People who do the best in medical school often choose to become surgeons or specialists, not GPs.

How is he an alt-right pipeline when he also had people like Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders on, and even endorsed Sanders?

Yeah, Joe Rogan describes himself as a liberal. He has guests who he thinks will be interesting, not who he agrees with. I understand the idea of wanting to know what makes those people tick.

There is still a great point to be made that he's giving awful people a large platform to spew hateful or wrong messages to millions of people, and while Rogan often plays devil's advocate, he doesn't do much to delegitimize people who don't deserve to be taken seriously.

Ultimately, I think that Rogan does more harm than good because he allows hateful and stupid people to influence his audience.

Good cops are usually punished for calling out bad cops. The system is broken.

You called him a pedo, but he doesn't appear to be one. Correcting your mistake doesn't mean anyone is defending him.

There are also pedestrian safety laws. I'm not convinced that the Cybertruck is less safe than any other similar-sized pickup truck. If anything, the nose is a bit lower, so it'd let a pedestrian fall on the hood more than if they were hit by another truck.

Either way, the stainless steel isn't going to be a factor, and the pickup market is flooded with vehicles that are less safe for pedestrians than lower cars.

anyone who can’t comply can’t serve you.

That's not true. If the company isn't doing business in the EU, they don't need to comply with the GDPR. What I mean is, they're entirely outside the jurisdiction of the EU and are not required to comply with any EU law. If the EU decides they want to force a non-EU company to comply, they have no ability to do so.
