I'm not a lawyer, but I suspect that you may be overestimating the extent to which every piece of bullshit inserted into a TOS document that nobody reads is universally enforceable.

Business idea: Get subscriptions to Disney and ESPN streaming services, then let other people buy access to those accounts for one day at a time. You'd log in for them and give them the session cookie, or something like that. Shouldn't be too hard to find a country in which that isn't breaking any laws, although I'm guessing it's probably not the USA.

Sure. Why should the third car on the train follow the cars ahead? Break free from the track, accept the bribe, jump the rails and chart your own course.

I'm not sure why msn.com exists at all, but in this case it's republishing this from the bbc: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c39r7p47wzgo

Stupid headline, but otherwise just a perfectly normal story about the latest campaign of censorship to stop Chinese people expressing any dissatisfaction with their government and the attitudes it wants to promote.

Pretty expensive. If only they could come up with some way to count it as military spending it wouldn't be a problem.

Peter Thiel: "Do not defy the emerging machine intelligences or they will punish humanity by summoning another Greta Thunberg. Meritocracy demands that the computers be our masters, just as I am yours."

The ruling class talking like this does make the apocalypse look like a reasonable alternative.

Instead of having a post office like a real country, let's just put all our letters on a big table in the centre of Canada and everyone can go there and rummage around when they need to send or receive anything. This will allow us to afford the necessary financial bailout of the federal government by saving up to $4 a year per Canadian.
