You're getting ahead of yourself. The people who despise us have not taken over in Europe yet, though as this story shows they are well on the way to getting their Caliphate.
The only smarts I want my TV to have is automagically figuring out what device is sending the picture to it.
There is actually a standard for this, called CEC, which is implemented on some TV-connected devices. Unfortunately, TV receivers uniformly suck at implementing it. You won’t find a TV tech who even knows what CEC is.
This woman not fitting this profile is one factor in the disappearance of this story, but it comes served with a side of online companies running scared that their flippant, no-way-to-reach-a-human consumer policies are coming back to bite them.
This woman being Iranian had nothing to do with her actions. Her profile was the common variety of crazy bitch, and California has an uncommon number of those.
If the putative swamp-draiing team in Washington had put John Stossel in charge of the FDA and turned Amazon loose with the ability to buy medications in bulk on the world market and fill US prescriptions for less, Trump's second term would be assured. But apparently, nothing this rompingly popular is even under consideration by the 'populists'.
Third wave feminists are generally sex-positive, and in favour of bodily autonomy in general. Otherwise they wouldn't support things like trans rights...
Actually their position on trans rights is indistinguishable from that of Vice-President Pence. Please try to keep up.
I don't know ant SJW types that oppose prostitution. Care to point any out? I do know a lot that want more social services so women are much less likely to turn to prostitution. But they're all in the "Legal, Taxed & Regulated" crowd.
Where have you been for the last decade? You're describing the former liberal position. Now they refer to all forms of prostitution as "trafficking" and want to stamp it out, even in the legal jurisdictions.
Keillor was a humorist on National Public Radio, the American equivalent of your BBC, but funded from a combination of general revenue and private subscriptions. Though the network has always had problems with visibility against the vast American private radio market, Keillor's program was a breakthrough hit in general culture, bringing NPR unprecedented popularity.
When Minnesota Public Radio, Keillor's home station, chucked Keillor under the hashtag moral panic bus, it also deleted his huge archive of past programs, which had been circulating on the larger network for years. Even just from the special viewpoint of those interested in seeing NPR survive, this was inexcusable.
What was really ROFL-worthy was that his Minnesota station lost so many annual pledges from angry Keillor fans that it eventually had to disclose the secret reason for the firing. The big reveal: Keillor's tempestuous relationship with one woman. For that, I hope Minnesota Public Radio goes straight to the bottom.
Cargo ships contribute 2% of all greenhouse gases. If we scuttled all oil-burning ships immediately we'd see a 2% decrease. Wow.
If you teach cows not to fart you've got a much bigger impact on reducing greenhouse gases.
WRONG!
The 2% of carbon emissions that ships emit is 'ancient' carbon, coming from petroleum. Meanwhile, cows do not drink oil. The 7% of carbon that comes from cows was sucked out of the atmosphere by plants last year. The yearly cycling of some of the existing atmospheric carbon through grass and then through cows is meaningless in comparison to new emissions of ancient carbon into the air.
And is still being expanded with refurbished stations, new stations and entire new lines. When I lived there (Shibuya ward) I could walk ten minutes in any direction from my apartment and encounter stations on for different lines.
They call it the "New York premium": When your tunnel workers are all getting six-figure salaries plus cushy retirement, the city couldn't afford to build the system if all those tunnels were being drilled through a gold lode.
Right now a Congressional district contains an average of 711,000 people, with the smallest in population being 526,000 and the largest being Montana's single distict of 994,000. A state has to have at least one district, and creating two in MT would have meant a per-district population significantly below average.
Statehood for Puerto Rico, or any other territory, is a totally different issue, and depends on politics.
The number of Representatives was fixed at that time, but the areas of representation are adjusted every ten years by census to account for changes in population and internal migration. The big flaw in our system is that the specific boundaries of these districts are for the most part determined by state politics, with the dominant party in each state getting undue influence over where the boundaries fall. Look up one of the first American newly coined words, 'gerrymander'.

Ever wonder why the world despises you so much?

A robot that can assemble IKEA furniture must be fully self-aware and will probably be running for President in 2020.
Even G can't risk going down because a government decides to block IPs of a fronted service. Like Russia today and AWS !?
Or to take a more serious example of a censurious environment, American college campuses.

I believe an airplane currently holds the record for most people and most people per second killed in a terrorist attack.
An airplane also comes in second in the count of people killed in one suicide.

If anything, the pond scum is getting deeper.

Why does a country with such a small, relatively homogeneous population need such a huge intrusive government?
I have the same question about Australia.

According to your very own Guardian source, one woman. Who among us, of whatever gender, has never had a troubled relationship with one partner?
Mine is GetOffMyLANKids.

And I for one will never forgive the SJWs for what they did to Garrison Keillor.
But now that both liberals and conservatives have turned sex-negative again, fat chance.
It's fun to imagine the mayhem if it also eats vinyl
Hipsters sobbing as their precious record collections turn to grey goo and they have to start downloading music again, like Walmart shoppers.

Once it has served its time in jail, of course ;-)
Jail? No, the robot will stay free by claiming that killing people is a part of his religious patrimony.
