Jeff Berwick recognizes Mexico as the actual land of the free, because most people live their own lives and ignore the govt.

"I don't need a permit to build a tool shed" one Mexican told me.

It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

You sound like the government.

It's an old axiom. Heya Jason. Man, there aren't any comments anymore. Guess this place is dead. I'm gonna go post some tunes, I feel the music.

It sucks, I wish there was actual competition for reddit.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Some competition that I didn't have to worry about bans. I mean, I don't do anything too crazy any more now that I don't drink handles like they're going out of style. Even so, my bans have always been like 95% pissing off a mod, and 5% actual rule breaking. It gets old.

It's given me a real Fuck Meh attitude.

I know it. It was apt then I tried to be witty.

I have 4 tunes I've been meaning to share. Can't speak to the comments.

Fuck dude, this comment doesn't even show up publicly. You're shadowbanned? This is some bullshit.

Which comment? How do you mean it doesn't show publicly?

/u/magnora7 am I shadowbanned? Also, there are 2 asstrolls here.

I mean when I went to a private browser tab your comment was invisible. That's why I asked for the contact info.

I can't speak to my invisibility other than in my browser when I go back to a page on SaidIt and other sites, it's all reset as if I'd just arrived but from before. I'm not sure that's clear so I'll give an example: On /s/all I click on a post's comment to go to the OP and see the link and comments where I can read, vote, and comment, then I click on the post to read the article and after that I return and all my votes and comments are gone so I can't adjust them without refreshing. Also I never use private browser tabs so I don't know anything about them.

I go sleep now.

      He's not far left by American standards.

      Interesting how so many countries are doing this with the exception of the USA.

      I hope this passes. If this means Mexico will have to cancel their trade deal with America and Canada, then so be it. If this passes and gets upheld, then I wouldn’t mind living in Mexico.

      I hope it's $4.4 million each time.

      Lol, you reminded me of that Silicon Valley scene where Dinesh found out how much his COPPA violations could potentially cost the company in fines.
