Those people have already had the means, will or duty to move to another country. What’s their excuse for keeping the Russian citizenship?

There's plenty of reason, the most likely is that they love their country, their homeland, their city, the network of friends, the memories and they hope, one day, to be able to get back.

Let’s just assume there is a way to make sure there is no overreach of sanctions, but it’s going to cost millions of tax dollars or euros. Would you rather have that money spent on things that are close to you (education, healthcare, infrastructure etc) or would you want that money to be spent identifying which Russians should or shouldn’t be sanctioned?

Would you still love me if I was a giant moth?

including those yet to exist.

That, believe it or not, is jail.

Are you under the impression I'm some kind of strategical genius of political negotiation? I have no idea.

My point is that holding everybody responsible for what the specific form of government of the specific country they happened to be born into is a confortable truth to push back on the much more controversial take of all of us being the very same thing.

And to get slightly more practical, it's asinine to suggest that anybody that disagrees with a government has the means, or the will, or the duty to straight up move to another country (obviously to a flawless country, good luck with that).

Congratulation, you are part of the problem!

It's weird if you are weird, it's cool if you are cool. You are insecure about something as simple as telling a person to use a certain channel of communication, it's likely weird.

But on the topic of professional, every lawyer I know is on Signal.

What "burns" me is that this was pretty much well known anyway? The dude was into real heavy shit since the 90s who is exactly surprised by this?

This is just from mild surface level wikipedia: "In his college days, Combs had a reputation for throwing parties, some of which attracted up to a thousand participants.[34] Usher, who lived with Combs for a year in New York City when he was 13 years old, told Howard Stern in 2016 that Combs's lifestyle was "pretty wild" during that time.[35] In 1991, Combs promoted an AIDS fundraiser with Heavy D held at the City College of New York (CCNY) gymnasium, following a charity basketball game. The event was oversold, and a stampede occurred in which nine people died.[36]"

He was openly acused by Tupac of being involved in his assassination attempt, his protege Notorious BIG was killed as well, like... that's a criminal, all these years I just assumed he got connection, kept it lowprofile and was rich enough to avoid attention... which is pretty much what it was up until now for some reason.

10% of your portfolio is big.

I suspect you may have gone at it in a bit of a brutal way that I'm not sure is entirely effective, but then again I guess in this community there are better judge for that than myself...

How did you degoogle exactly?

I flashed a degoogle OS (Lineage) and immediatly flashed MicroG, before the first boot.

I was under the assumption this was the proper way to do it, but it's been years at this point, maybe I misremember or maybe stuff have changed.

I have MicroG and don't get those. I'm not sure it's what you are looking for...

The reason you need to apply force to an object to change its speed.
