They're just vibe warring it. True modernization.
January 05, 2026 at 12:43
I don't think anyone here is disagreeing with your general point, certainly not myself. The focus on Trump is in trying to make sense of what exactly ...
January 04, 2026 at 15:43
That this may not be a sensible plan to actually run Venezuela (as you allude maybe the case) is that US blew up fishing boats and then stole oil tank...
January 03, 2026 at 22:15
Plan to run Venezuela as Trump claims he will, is what we're talking about.
January 03, 2026 at 21:41
Trump says a lot of things. If it exists. US has, so far, effectively carried out a coup to put the VP in power, but it's presented as having won the ...
January 03, 2026 at 18:19
He's not "in Venezuela" right now, he's only kidnapped Venezuela's president which is now being run by the Venezuelan vice-president. So unclear at th...
January 03, 2026 at 17:58
Well I agree. I am doubting the hypothesis of full US blockade on China, proactively to maintain hegemony. This is a different question than the US in...
December 21, 2025 at 19:03
Between 2014 and 2022 Russia accumulated more gold (increased reserves over 4 fold), created alternative payment systems, started replacing Western so...
December 21, 2025 at 15:13
I disagree. There was never a full scale war with the Soviet Union, so we have that already as an example of an alternative geopolitical structure to ...
December 21, 2025 at 11:39
The problem is the US does not have enough carrots and sticks to keep the entire world inline and Isolate China. So you really need to war-game out yo...
December 21, 2025 at 00:02
Right now I'm travelling and gotta do a lot of things, so I can't do full justice to your post right now, but hopefully in a few days. However, I'd li...
December 04, 2025 at 23:19
In addition, this particular thread is focused on Ukraine so I haven't wanted to go too far off topic. I had intended to make a new thread focused on ...
November 30, 2025 at 22:01
Yes, we definitely agree on the fundamentals and the objectives of world domination. The only issue is what can practically be achieved and what will ...

You can read all about the saga of business cove in these two archives: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q4Vfr5U7Lc7_k2ZK6GKgagyMSYeYEPPp?usp=s...

Then I'd be all like ... ah yes, Isabel Dos Santos was ye ol' business sea monsters name ... I remember her well I do.
November 27, 2025 at 19:24
If people just stopped citing me I'd stop citing what they have to say about their citations of me and in what appears to me as a frolicking back and ...
November 27, 2025 at 19:05
Absolutely boethius approved. But are you managing a limited liability company that affects other people's interests who entrust you with their philos...
November 27, 2025 at 18:45
Seems to me honestly a cavalier attitude. A lot of controversial things are said on the forum, though maybe the idea is that will change. From my pers...
November 27, 2025 at 18:01
Every single scenario I described can happen to you. And as you say yourself, as soon as you are faced with actual liability then you are stuck in the...
November 27, 2025 at 10:45
I love you too Outlander <3 That maybe, but the point of risk analysis is also to have a plan to deal with things, so they don't catch you off guard. ...
November 27, 2025 at 10:43
For those interested, once you've gone through the steps of net-present-value analysis and something seems reasonable to do, the next analytical steps...
November 27, 2025 at 10:32
Way more risks. As a UK business you can for sure be sued in the district your business in incorporated. As we've been debating, being sued in some ra...
November 27, 2025 at 10:25
There's zero evasion, the idea you could start a business and cannot ever be summoned to court is absurd, for any business. Moreso for a business that...
November 27, 2025 at 07:54
And maybe the current plan is the best one, if we considered other plans there would be negatives in those too. For example, my plan of get @"Benkei" ...
November 26, 2025 at 20:30
And what you for certain shouldn't believe is that by making a limited liability business to provide a forum service to forum clients, that you are re...
November 26, 2025 at 20:11
If you have some reason to believe you can never be brought to court, that would be one thing. Royal immunity for example. However, the starting assum...
November 26, 2025 at 20:03
That is for sure, zero question. The argument that you've premeditatedly done that, knowing you would create immense liabilities without a reasonable ...
November 26, 2025 at 19:51
But it's very different if you're incorporated outside the UK. If you're incorporated outside the UK then it's far less likely for UK courts to simply...
November 26, 2025 at 19:46
However to address the substance of your last point: This is exactly the time in a business where lengthy analysis and deliberations are helpful. @"Ja...
November 26, 2025 at 19:38
That would be additional reason in favour of those jurisdictions over the UK jurisdiction. That makes no sense. Zero UK law preventing @"Jamal" from i...
November 26, 2025 at 19:31
I'm not arguing against either point. My point is those two problems can be solved in many different ways, in particular many different jurisdictions ...
November 26, 2025 at 19:23
Lawsuits don't need to be cogent to get started. That's my first issue. When conducting business you can easily be sued as doing business creates cont...
November 26, 2025 at 19:18
This is one issue. Who would be reporting you for not following this act is likely private individuals. This would be in the broad category of consume...
November 26, 2025 at 19:10
I've done some research quickly on this topic. So first, whatever the result of the case elsewhere, your local district court would need to agree to e...
November 26, 2025 at 18:50
Well then that would be additional reason to incorporate in another jurisdiction, as you'd either appear at distance (and so at a disadvantage) or the...
November 26, 2025 at 18:39
Seems to me really preposterous and obviously the UK courts jettison this doctrine the moment someone sues a UK resident, for saying something while i...
November 26, 2025 at 18:37
Well that does seem to me strange. However, can you be sued right now in London for something you say on philosophy forum? Or northern Scotland or any...
November 26, 2025 at 18:31
Again, most regular people don't go cause harm far from where they live. So a private individual who says something online in Northern Scotland, that ...
November 26, 2025 at 18:12
What I'm providing is a framework to analyze liability and business decisions. You should assume at all times there is a pathway to wild success and a...
November 26, 2025 at 18:03
You're saying you could live in Norther Scotland and be forced to appear in a London court by a plaintiff, without the case having any connection to L...
November 26, 2025 at 17:30
No, if there's a jurisdiction where judges are likely to simply not hear speech based cases, then that is a huge mitigating factor. For the expenses o...
November 26, 2025 at 17:13
To sue someone personally you need to go to the district where they live, so the issue of physically getting to court is at least solved. Once in cour...
November 26, 2025 at 17:08
This is the one I'd be worried about. But the basic gist of what I'm trying to say is that "following the rules" is not anyways a way to avoid court a...
November 26, 2025 at 17:00
That would be my plan, but I'd only be confident of that if the business is based in the US as freedom of speech is such a big deal for Americans, ple...
November 26, 2025 at 16:50
Freedom of speech does pretty much exist in America, land of the free.
November 26, 2025 at 16:40
My main argument is against the UK jurisdiction, mainly due to all the speech laws that have been created, or suddenly enforced in new ways. I'm not d...
November 26, 2025 at 16:38
But whatever the decision it cannot be changed easily, so should be really well thought out. Serious consideration should be also given to making a si...
November 26, 2025 at 16:07
What should happen and what does happen are two different things. I'm not disputing that Jamal can run the forum lawfully. I'm pointing out that is up...
November 26, 2025 at 15:11
And then there's the actual legitimate lawsuits that you can face from your actual customers. As soon as you're a business, anyone paying your busines...
November 26, 2025 at 14:58
As for liability, having limited liability is not written in stone. If you get sued for hundreds of thousands of pounds the winning party could then a...
