In 1970, an Australian wheat farmer got into a dispute with his government over how much wheat he could sell. So he declared his farm an independent country. The government ignored him. He ruled it as a prince for the next 50 years.
His name was Leonard Casley. He owned a 75 square kilometre property in Western Australia, several hours north of the city of Perth. The Australian government had set new wheat quotas that would let him sell only about one percent of his crop. When he protested, he claimed officials threatened to forcibly take his land. So he found an obscure British law from 1495 called the Treason Act, which said a “de facto king” of any territory could not be charged with treason. He declared his farm a sovereign nation, named himself Prince Leonard, and notified Australia.
Under Australian law at the time, the government had two years to formally object. They didn’t. Leonard took the silence as legal recognition.
He went all in. He printed his own currency. He printed his own stamps. He issued his own passports. He gave his wife and seven children royal titles. He built a tiny stone palace. He set up embassies in nine countries.
In 1977, when the Australian Tax Office kept demanding taxes, he formally declared war on Australia. A few days later, having received no military response, he declared a ceasefire and announced victory. The tax demands stopped.
Tourists started showing up. At its peak, his “country” had 40,000 visitors a year. He stamped their passports for them. He sold them his stamps and coins.
In 2016, on the principality’s 46th anniversary, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom personally sent him a letter wishing his country a happy birthday.
Leonard ruled for 47 years. He passed away in 2019 at 93. His son Graeme took over, but the tax bill had grown to over three million Australian dollars and Covid had stopped the tourists. In August 2020, the Principality of Hutt River formally rejoined Australia.

Massie and Boebert's new bill effectively kills the third-party doctrine. No more warrantless access to your bank records, your browsing history, your location data just because it sits on a corporate server.
The terms of service can't consent to surveillance on your behalf.

Yunyun Syndrome came out.
And the english localization has come under fire for being one of the worst ones yet:
English translators caught
1. Removing Kaomoji
2. Inserting nonsense about fascism
3. Inserting trans stuff
Examples:
[japanese_ja] いらない
[english_en] i'd cut my uterus out if i cld
[korean_sa] 필요 없음
[spanish_la] No lo quiero.
[french_fr] J'en veux pas
[german_de] Brauch ich nicht.
[italian_it] Non lo voglio.
[portuguese_ptbr] Não quero
[russian_ru] He нaдo.
[japanese_ja] やあ (´・ω・`)
[english_en] Yaaaa-ho~ :3
[korean_sa] 여어(´・ω・`)
[spanish_la] Hola (´・ω・`)
[french_fr] Salut (´・ω・`)
[german_de] Hi (´・ω・`)
[italian_it] Ehilà (´・ω・`)
[portuguese_ptbr] E aí (´・ω・`)
[russian_ru] Пpивeт (´・ω・`)

FACT:
Churchill was a mass murdering Zionist war criminal. Responsible for the deliberate targeting of civilians in the carpet fire bombing of 63 large German cities.
Here is Goring’s letter to him from 1946:
"It is my fervent wish that you may at least live to see the day on which the world, and the western nations in particular, will become aware of the bitter truth that it was you and your friend Roosevelt who sold the future to Bolshevism for a cheap personal triumph over nationalistic Germany. This day may come sooner than you like, and you in spite of your advanced age, will be vigorous enough to see it dawn bloody red over the British Isles."
~ Göring's letter to Churchill, 1946

@ThoughtCrimes80 In this particular case, the dog is in fact a registered service dog, and everything she said is correct. The employee has opened the business to receiving a $75,000 fine. That employee will likely get fired for this.

All the non-Sesame Street Muppet productions have “cooldown sections” filled to the brim with unhinged interactions, all done in-character. If you want an especially wild example of such sessions, here’s one recorded during a filming session for Bear in the Big Blue House:

“Hitler offered Poland 16 major peace proposals before invading in September
1939. These included agreements to guarantee Polish sovereignty, resolve border disputes peacefully, and even offer Poland a share of territory from the Soviet Union if they allied against the Bolsheviks.
The most notable was the "Final Offer" sent via Ribbentrop on August 31, 1939, which proposed a plebiscite for Danzig and a corridor through the Polish Corridor in exchange for non-aggression. All were rejected by Poland under British pressure.”

@rahsh33m Percentage tips are dumb. If a restaurant has mostly entrees at $30, and some at 40 or 50, and I tip you as if my entree was 30 even though I got the 50, what did you really lose out on? You carried a plate of food roughly the same exact weight the same exact distance. Fuck you.

This woman works for an influencer as her babysitter. She’s watched the child for some time, she’s never had an issue. The influencer always tells her to help herself to whatever food she wants.
The babysitter found a chocolate cake in the freezer, she defrosted it and ate it. Later she found out it was the influencer’s top tier of her wedding cake.
The influencer was so upset, she sent her a bill for $9000 for what she ate. She’s upset because she didn’t think she did anything wrong, after all she was told to help herself. Was the influencer wrong for not telling her it was off limits?
