I’m sorry, Ireland will never be sanctioned for this. They’re aligned with two powerful trading blocs.

Inside the EU: they don’t meaningfully do anything to stop this practice of tax avoidance. They’ll play a good game taking US multinationals to court, yes, and imposing laughable fines. But ultimately they’re not going to outright ban this practice or force Ireland to stop. They’re either not capable or unwilling. Time has showed both.

Friends with the US: if there’s any “special relationship” with the US, it’s not France it’s not the UK it’s Ireland. There’s too many votes, to be blunt, in the “Irish American” caucuses for The US to change any position on Ireland regarding tax evasion.

Time to face facts. That tax isn’t coming home. It’s being funneled via Ireland for the benefit of US multinationals who wish their CEOs to vacation in Hawaii twice a year for a small cut taken by Ireland.

Luck of the Irish, eh?

Also, aren’t telephones still working? Just call a friend/relative outside of the country to obtain information, or ask someone who has a friend/relative and ask for information on your behalf.

In Putin Russia friend calls you! And by friend I mean your neighbor, and by call you I mean call the police to arrest you because you have dared to ask for information. Straight to the gulag for you!

Fox news?

I don’t think I can ever let my parents know I’m an atheist and with that seems to go my chance of having kids.

I know at first it sounds difficult because you care for your parents. But this is your life and whether they choose to respect your choices or not is up to them. If you want kids, have kids. If you want to be an atheist, be an atheist. If you want to dye your hair blue, dye your hair blue.

Your parents don’t have to agree with your choices (as long as you’re not breaking the law or anything like that)… but they should respect you and your choices.

TL;DR: Don’t live for your parents, live for you.

Is that … Is that a crack pipe?

Yeah pretty much. As a payment intermediary they’re actually really good. Top of class one could argue.

The executive’s politics aside, trying to boycott them means boycotting all their users. Good luck with that.

Good luck boycotting Stripe

Partial support is coming in four years time they’ve announced. We just have to wait 🫠.

Everything named Concord crashed and burned as a result of overconfidence.

How is this not being able to use your phone?

Gradually? Why the fuck can’t it just group notifications but alert once. Especially for messaging apps. 🤣

But but… The Gooooooogles!

Wait till they hear about the HA-RAM proxy… For when your memory needs to be available now!

With DB2? Ha! Don’t make me laugh.

Do you think anything this administration has done was thoroughly thought out and considered or plain reactionary and for mass media consumption?

From what we’ve seen this past year of Biden he seems more interested in visiting ice cream parlours and having an absolutely shit foreign policy.

I don’t think he understands the words even when they’re coming out of his own mouth.

We do… but we don’t need to. Just force of habit.

They include “research” when it suits their argument. And speak in absolutes. No drive time radio isn’t as popular as what it used to be… but he’s using all the same tricks.

He sells controversy. That’s his schtick.

If I were still inside your mom I’d make that face too.

Hiiiiooooohhh
