I was going to say, it’s starting to sound more like the EU is just taking kickbacks in a circuitous legal manner rather than via a shady under the table deal with men and trench coats exchanging packages of unmarked bills.

If you really want to make a message that sticks, you ban the danger sites from operating in your collective and then fine them for their past misdeeds.

I used it for a while. It honestly was a really good browser for a long time but since everything started going this shit it quickly fell from my good graces.

Any person who chooses to pass through the arches of an approved Catholic church and receive communion will receive plenary indulgence and complete and total inexorable forgiveness of all past sin according to dogmatic law.

Only everybody gets their pocket picked

I have a work friend that I occasionally chat with and I will keep this for the next conversation.

Many of the at least 400 words that are technically both nouns and verbs depending on usage can form sentences of just repeating the word.
