You didn’t misremember, it was a scholarly discussion point that spread too far before it got debunked, like how some people still believe the “gum stays inside you for 7 years”

It’s a joke from this dude
But what if they mutate?!
2·15 days agoIt’s a common thing in many countries. It’s, among other things, a liability issue.
If your “country #1” company does business in “country #2” then what laws apply to them?
In order to distinguish clear lines what “country #2” requires is a representative for the company to be in the country. If the company breaks “country #2”'s laws then the representative is liable for it.
Generally to be a representative you have to have a measurable stake in the transaction, you can’t just be a random Jimbo, so it usually falls to a law firm (or an entity that works with one), mainly because if you need people to help your company follow the law, then they should know the law.
If the company breaks the law, the firm has to deal with that, so it’s a risk for them.
In this case, X needed that representative, either they couldn’t or wouldn’t find one, therefore Brazil said “we can’t hold you accountable to our laws, so get out of our country.”
I’m super, MEGA, oversimplifying, and I’m no expert, but this is my best understanding.
They require a representative in order to establish a chain of responsibility that deals with crime, censorship, social health (lol), public relations, etc.
It does come down to a combination of size, influence, services rendered, and other factors.
He could put a random kid in charge but it would make it worse, like putting a busboy in a chef’s hat during Rush hour.
I mean, you’re being facetious, but no, the law being “your company must have a legal representative to be within our borders”
X was told about it, given a deadline, they missed the deadline, they can’t be in Brazil
Actions have consequences
This is some Paper Mario cursed chest vibes. I love it.
Because they broke the law.
Censorship isn’t the same as consequences.

In my family I raise my hand while the louder ones finish their soliloquis, and then they pass the floor to me, then I start making my point, get interrupted, lose my train of thought, and they contradict themselves and get upset when I point it out.
Elon’s companies have had financial trends that ebb and flow with the whims of the influence of their owner, intended and otherwise, the correlation is:
They have the same owner.
Same owner, pretty simple.
“If you help my X then your T goes up in value”
This is a common misconception, but since the universe isn’t centered around the “Earth” object but rather an omnidirectional set of rendering layers, the sun already had a reference point, it just wasn’t loaded in yet.
I’m sure I got a MadCatz controller lying somewhere, use that
90% of IT and software jobs are “I have common sense, know how to look up information, and my boss is intimidated by my work so they don’t question it.”

There’s also:
Brain: Okay, time to do things!
Body: Ehh… Later, let’s just lay here and have anxiety about not doing the things
No silly, she was the character Matilda, but I don’t remember the movie’s name.
I’m low on Vitamin $
This is the problem.
I needed a car battery the other day and just wanted to know if it was in stock because it’s a little uncommon. I went online, it said they did, went to the store, they didn’t, told me to call and verify because online updates overnight.
I called 4 different stores, nobody answered the first 3, 4th one rang forever, then an auto answering thing kept me for 5 minutes and when no option helped me it said “try again later, goodbye.”
