Russia internet blacklist law goes into effect

Because when I think Russia, I think "for the children"

I'll go ahead and get this out of the way right now

"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation"

Well apparently the secret service didn't want people coming and going freely and things are being cleared up now. Turns out it was a non-issue, oh well!

The real issue is whether Facepunch or SA is a bigger shithole

How is it a non-issue? People still got stuck there for a long time and were stopped from leaving for seemingly no good reason.

It's a non-issue in that it wasn't mitt "Satan" romney detaining people to stay at his rally, but an error with the secret service. I wasn't suddenly going fuck those kids with hypothermia

Ooh, I see what you mean: the issue isn't with Romney but with the secret service.

Of course he would change things on the first day of his presidency. It would be the current president. That's a real change for the ages.
