By the way this is written, this sounds like a mini UN with a focus on judicial functions. Again, not trying to be a jerk here, there’s the UN that prosecutes war crimes through the national courts which all countries have agreed to participate through treaties. The document written in the link above even states the ICC is not meant to replace the national courts. It sounds like it doesn’t have the teeth like the national courts do anyway. I have the perception of theatrics here.

Legitimate question here: What jurisdiction does the ICC have? Seems like it just popped up over night and just issuing arrest warrants to make people feel better I guess. I don’t recall the US entering into an agreement to abide by the ICC or even recognize it. Wasn’t the the UN established to prosecute war crimes?

Thought fragile was Italian. Frah-jee-lee.

This is like a really shitty version of The Running Man.

You know there’s an Internet 2 right? That’s what I’m talking about when I stated “A new internet” . A real Internet 3 and not “Web 3.0”. Internet 2 is a separate series of tubes, cables, wires, whatever you want to call it dedicated to just research. You know what’s not on Internet 2? Ads or web business models. So I have no idea what you are refuting. Nobody said we needed Web Business to make the cables work. Nobody said the money drying up would make the internet cease to function.

I don’t know where the confusion is. Maybe a typo? I don’t know.

Did I not make that statement about how we don’t need the webshop business model? You just need a tube to connect to the series of tubes. You can pay someone for the tube or make your own damn tube.

I’m failing to see the joke or the math here.

Let me know when you understand how the internet works.

You’re mixing ISP fees with Ad/monetized content revenue (the “web business model”). One is a shortcut to not having build your own infrastructure and the other is for people we don’t really need for the internet to function.

This is some good stuff. Thank you!

My take is that it’s none of my business why someone would default on a loan. Anecdotally, it’s mostly people that fall on tough times. Also, the job market is absolutely trash for anyone with a degree. You ever see the requirements now on Indeed or Glassdoor? Must have 20 years experience, master’s degree in this thing nobody uses for entry level position. Pay is less than a McDonald’s worker.

In the US, we had several older generations telling the newer generations, “Go to college, succeed, work smarter not harder” and the immense pressure to do well on the SAT’s. If you didn’t get a scholarship, you were kind of left with the only option of getting financial aid. Here comes Fannymac rubbing its greedy hands together by pushing legislation through the education department to take full advantage of low-income people that just wanted a better life. The terms on these loans are ridiculous. There was an alternative that if you performed service for the government (i.e. any job in public safety) for 10 years, your debt would be written off. That’s gone now thanks to the same greedy butt wipes pushing these loans. Sometimes these loans get restarted even after you pay them off because a debt collector picks it up. It’s not like these people are getting loans and saying “I’m gonna be smart and just not pay it.” I’m willing to bet that the vast majority just wanted a piece of paper to at least get their foot in the door.

Again, the rules change for the student loans all the time thanks to greedy legislation, thus not making them normal loans. The return on investment for students taking these loans is negative because they could have bought a house with the amount of money invested into that loan out of their own pockets. My advice is for anyone going to college, network. It’s not about what you know anymore, it’s about who you know. Get a associate’s/bachelor’s/ master’s degree in something easy and cheap. Hiring managers don’t care what it’s in as long it gets past the shitty automated HR hiring systems. From there find your career path and network some more.

Dude. There’s a limit to that expression. There’s a reason why nobody likes Nazi’s and they deserve a punch in the face at minimum. Don’t be on the repeat side of history by performing some kind mental gymnastics to preserve freedom of expression and inadvertantly protect Nazism with that argument. That’s what apologists do now and did in the past.

Always remember this: if you have 10 people eating dinner at a table and 1 of them is a Nazi, how many nazi’s do you have? The answer is 10 Nazis.

Reminder: the Internet has its roots from ARPANET which is designed to survive an atomic blast and openly available to learn. A dead web business model won’t kill the technology that allows humans to instantly communicate. If anything a new internet may come of this once the money dries up.

Would be nice if people just completely disregarded the opinion of about 5 obvious bots or a troll house. Counting on you Canada. Don’t get sucked into the social media shit hole like the rest of the world did.

When your enshtification plateaus, go military!

Not sure where you are from. You can declare bankruptcy and restructure a normal loan or take a full on credit penalty for the next decade which severely restricts you from borrowing. It depends on your state laws and what chapter you file under . Yes they can take assets to pay the loan but in some states certain assets are restricted from being part of payback. Student loans are not normal loans and are outright predatory. You cannot declare bankruptcy if you fall upon hard times to help make it more reasonable to payback if not eliminate it.

They’re messing with my improved 5g reception I got with my COVID vaccine! (/s)

Well I guess we’ll just keep running in circles about this issue then won’t we.
