Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This will also apply to things like Amazon, SHEIN, and Temu.

edit TEMU not TRUMP

I'd be happy to pay the VAT if someone sold and crate-shipped Trump to a third world country. How much is 12% on a dollar anyway...

Probably the only way they will get taxation money out of the tech giants given all the shady things they do to transfer the profits out of countries to evade taxes. VAT at least is a lot more obvious and harder to avoid although I don't put it past them to start doing even shadier things.

Heh how they will collect that VAT?

[–] interurbain1er 8 points 1 month ago

By taking hostage their back offices and call centers and paralyzing their operations until they pay :)
