Oh and to top it all, apparently it's valid only within Spanish waters because Spain doesn't adhere to the international treaty that convalidates boat licenses -- even though they accept foreign licenses! But it's not reciprocated because reasons (basically it's because Spain is a third world socialist country that regulates leisure boating under the jurisdiction of the Merchant Fleet instead of being like a normal civilized country)
Oh, you don't even know. It's fucked. There are multiple licenses. I'm getting the third most basic one: only motor boats, up to 15 meters long, and only 12 miles off the coast xD So, not even sailboats, and I can't even go to the closest island from where I am, which is 100 miles away.
Given the recent trend, if I were him I would be a lot more worried about being spat on by random chicks.
Do you sail? I'm actually getting my permit this weekend and I'm so freaking excited about it.
To make my position clear: the only set of "rules" are the natural rights common to all individuals, derived from the only positive right, namely, the right to oneself. That's all the "rules" a society requires.
Well, you can take this snippet like that, but I think he's being very clear that freedom is conditional to having an arbitrary set of social "rules". That's exactly the same argument communists in Europe use: You can't have true freedom without redistribution and "social cohesion". It's the same argument, just with a different set of arbitrarily chosen "rules".
I don't think I would like to raise my kids there (or live there at all), but that's just me. I hope he's planning to go back to work, and I think there are still some locations in the developed world that could be safe for him.
This is why I always say that the worst mistake libertarians have made in the English-speaking world, and currently in the Spanish-speaking world too as we can see with Milei, is to believe that allying themselves with the right, especially the religious right, is strategically productive. It is not.
As we can see with Jordan Peterson's comments down here, they are as illiberal as the communists and in the end there is no possible compromise with them.
Looks like that, but why? Just to avoid "bad press" for Biden before the election? I think the impact of the Assange case on the US election is zero.
Australia is probably the last place I would go if I were Julian Assange.
What sort of deal could he possibly make? Not throwing shade here, just genuinely wondering what could Assange possibly have to bargain with, after so many years, that he couldn't or wouldn't have used long ago?

I don't really know, I don't use Telegram. I read it in an article a couple of days ago. They have a "crypto" token and seem to be building the type of "all-app" that Elon wanted to turn Twitter into.
Isn't that Telegram? They're even putting out their own PWA marketplace to circumvent Apple's and Google's monopoly.
I don't care about the specific issue at hand. I think that any sort of State organization that considers it to be within its normal mode of operation and relation with society to make snarky tweets about a private organization under its direct legislative control is, at the very least, ready to go down the slippery slope that leads straight to concentration camps and mass confiscations of wealth and assets.

If you want to understand Milei (when he's at his anarcho-capitalist best, not frolicking with fascists and religious nuts), listen to his mentor.
So I'm watching this video from Reason about Milei, which features an AI-powered automated translation and dubbing, and I can't help but think: why the fuck does he still have an accent? Is it my brain making the dubbed voice sound like that, or do native speakers also hear the accent?
