I found out about them yesterday, they have basically created a “private society” where they are building their houses and infrastructure from scratch in the middle of the forested mountains.
My thought is that, if they are taking their themselves out of society and leave the rest of us alone and the government knows 100% where they are then I say let them be monitored and kept away from civilized society.
The government knows where they are and can keep an eye on them a lot easier in one off grid location than infiltrating positions of government and jobs of trust

Upvote for being unpopular its a condiment for a kids pallet point blank. Haven’t used it in over a decade.
It heavily depends on the quality of the watermelon. I nice ripe juicy red watermelon that’s sweet and crisp is the best snack in the world. Bad watermelon sucks.
Europe almost reached modern technology 2K years ago during the Roman empire/Republic. Europe by the 1700s was centuries ahead of everywhere else, next closest being China. In the current age Europe would still be leading unless the whole world happened to copy the Industrial Revolution if the word got out
It was terrible for the people of the time, but our modern world wouldn’t be what it was if the Industrial Revolution stayed in Europe
When I get the care to do it, its nice having a neat room.
Yes because 4.5B people watched the last world cup, think about how much money billions of eyes on an extra 32 games would generate.
They’d optimize money if they did the 8 group format instead of this garbage format they’re using.
They are objectively the best connectors both in unitality and availability.
free in the monetary sense.
No because if you are willing to go through the hassle to get around it then thats fine, until it becomes a big enough issue, I use adblocker, I am simply saying, use my Data so I don’t pay with money that I and the majority of people can’t afford
I have faith in the states/city I live in lol. Maryland/DC will ban the practice, probably the while North east VA upwards, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, West coast, Colorado, and New Mexico would stop this, the feds MIGHT but probably not.
States will ban the practice quickly if companies start price discriminating, the only reason insurance companies have gotten away with it is because they have justified reasons if they started using precision with our data it would be quickly outlawed.
The internet has only been allowed to be a free market because we agreed to be the product. Imagine a world where Google isn’t free, where you are charged per usage like the old phone plans that cost money per amount of letters typed.
Good on you.
I’m not pro coporate I’m pro free internet, if I can connect to it I can use it free.
The cost to run a server is between $0.50 to $2.00 per month depending on how complex it is. So Imagine you had to pay $2.50-$3.00 per website in a patchwork of subscription based sites.
Every .com or .net site that wasn’t selling a product would now require that fee, .gov .edu and .org would likely still be free.
I don’t care about my data because I get to use a free internet with at least ads that are relevant to me and adblocker works relatively well
When is the last time ads on a website were completely random and not at least relevant to you?
donation and volunteer based (Wikipedia does this quite successfully) funded from tax income (as are online government services, crown corporations etc.)
Fair point, Wiki is an outlier in that regaurd and also .org not a .com/.net
I’d count taxes as subscription albeit you don’t get a choice
companies that sell something thru the internet l, and website is an advertising or pm selling platform. This accounts for most sites, tbh, from brands to retailers, to marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy, and Craigslist.
I should have specified non commercial sites.
You mean before they start showing ads? That’s going to happen eventually.
As long as they aren’t being supported by the government in any way (including using prebuilt infrastructure) they should be left alone, because again its convenient for the government to have a place where they can watch all the christo-facists and get them out of normal society.
Also I don’t know why anyone would want to force themselves into that awful group.
