The best solution to this problem is not to buy one in the first place.

Is there anyone who likes landlords? Why would they?

That homelessness and hunger are not ended in the USA is not because the money needed is spent on other things, it is because the government doesn't want to end them.

No, you kill thousands of innocent people and say they were terrorists or helping terrorists.

I did the switch twenty years ago, starting with dual-boot and Wine. Nowadays dual-boot is gone and I never use Wine outside of gaming.

Well, as I see it, it's only organized religion that is harmful.

You only get to become CEO when you have friends in high places. Why would anyone risk the backlash for hurting you when silently letting you go with a golden handshake doesn't cost their own money or at least a neglegible part of it.

Would you be ok with surveilling everyone to make sure they are not Nazis? While I am uncomfortable with the knowledge that there are some people out there who are Nazis in secret, that is still much better than them feeling comfortable enough to be Nazis in the open.

Also I would prefer even Nazis marauding in the streets to universal surveillance, which for me at least is hardly imaginable without at least a little Nazi ideology at government level.

Also I was talking about religion which in contrast to Nazi-ideology can be benign, when practiced in private.

Problem with bulshit is, once the pile is high enough it's very hard to convince people that there is no pony underneath.

And this particular pile has been heaped on for centuries...

Like, do it in private, but don't bother other people with it. Seems fair.

I remember the 1984 incident. At the time I thought this is so ironic, it has to be satire. Now, just a few years later it doesn't even register as odd anymore.

If I recall correctly there was a time, where they did a deal with Disney a few years back. Disney wanted to bring one or more of their classic animations back to the cinema and Amazon disabled playback of those movie(s) for that time even for people who had "bought" them.
