Tbh, I heard it caused the UK government to actually revise it’s plan for such a scenario as well.

Problem is that shops are now faceless corporations who have no idea who you are. It’ll be fine if it was the village grocer’s staffed by the guy you went to school with who was in the year above you, but when nobody knows everyone in an individualistic society, it’s hard to establish trust.

Especially with so much being built on top of AWS, even ICANN in some ways (although I’m sure that there are loads of backup DNS records to fall back on)

The landmark is still destroyed. A stump isn’t the same. What made the tree special was because it was pretty.

They’re also experienced tree fellers. Couldn’t make it up.

I wouldn’t put it past the trump administration to employ people to refuse to show right documentation to see if a business is hiring illegal immigrants or not

“We are unable to employ you because you failed to prove your right to work in the United States of America”. Could be a trump goon as well. Wouldn’t put it past him.

What if it’s also a trap set by trump goons. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Less freedom? You cannot even have your garden now you want without a “HOA” getting involved. Or choose your own broadband provider because Comcast bribed local officials. Or even doing something as simple as changing your own name without convincing a judge to let you.

- Comment on Anon notices 2 weeks ago:
Except in the 1500s, paganism was generally long gone- at that time, there was no point in placating it. The UK was under a lot of German and french influence, and less so nordic influence. Something as open and humanly universal as “pagans were bringing plants into the house” doesn’t necessarily mean Christmas trees are of pagan origin. Just that pagans brought plants into the house. (With that logic- is putting some flowers out on the table paganism?)
Your timeline at 4 is wrong - Christmas was celebrated as early as the second century. Hyppolitus mentioned it and it’s also mentioned in the Epistle of Theopilus.
