In most countries it’s the sale point which matters, not which state you reside in, for indirect tax. I would assume it’s the same in the US. For example if you’re on holiday in a different state or country, they wouldn’t charge what you’re charged back home.

That’s like 3rd degree endorsement. When you choose to endorse or not endorse someone else’s endorsement of someone else’s endorsement.

It does say public, but I guess it's a confusing article. In any case, I'm all for privacy and not defending social media at all, just that if someone else chooses to not be private then they shouldn't be unhappy if it's actually not private is what I meant.

Yeah but what if you post public stuff for the public to see? That’s what’s in question here I believe

So stuff people post publicly should be private?

Best comment I’ve read in this thread, sofa

But then, assuming you’re not sailing the high seas or taking help from fit girls, you’d be spending similar amounts on the same kinds of games for the PC? Or am I mistaken somehow?

Man, I didn’t mean to rub you in the wrong way. Just saying our infrastructure basically sucks, it’s all great in the first year and then crumbles. Almost all of our railroads are from the British times still sustaining, and roads have just recently started to be good but even then after a bit they’re not in good shape. Look at what happens to any of our cities when it rains for a couple of hours.

On the history front, you’re right to have thought of referring it as India before it was India, though it still feels that as states we are so disconnected at most times that we should reflect on whether are we even a country or just some kind of loose alliance held together by the corruption of politics.

In any case, I didn’t mean any offense to your comment, just added on some of my own sarcastic comments.

Edit - forgot to mention, in terms of law and order, our law is pretty good, but it’s not enforced at all. People could blame corruption, but it’s probably the system and also the population vs resources. For example, cops are paid a pittance and they need to pay bribes to get good posts and they then recover those bribes by taking bribes…
