Australian government is pretty hamfisted when it comes to this stuff.

What’s he gonna do? Send his mom to sit on my face?

People throw them out of their car windows too. I see them on the ground all the time. Insanity.

They’ll keep doing it so that they can have an out group to blame for people’s problems.

If your instance disappears, then how can you make sure that you could use your same username on an instance that is created after that one disappears?

You could decentralize user accounts so that they aren’t attached to any instance, or at least the account owner can move their account from one instance to another.

What is your definition of won? Because that’s what it means.

The rest of the paragraph?

It was probably the best result he could expect. And that is before the interview became viral and millions upon millions got to hear his whole speech delivered. The journalist is well intentioned, but the result is catastrophic.

I don’t know what you guys are seeing, but it is quite clear that Trump’s guy won got what he wanted from this exchange. It was probably the best result he could expect. And that is before the interview became viral and millions upon millions got to hear his whole speech delivered. The journalist is well intentioned, but the result is catastrophic.
