Most people consider conversations ended if neither party adds anything for a space of time.

A reasonable space of time is definitely overnight.

Rob's is assuming he 1) sees everything, 2).didn't or can't miss anything important, and 3) that his interpretation is correct.

That's why it's arrogant and stupid and people get annoyed.

Seriously, have you never been upset or hurt and had someone try to tell you that you're not?

It's usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go "missing" and find a new home with a warlord.

Sorry, but can you prove you've continuously occupied this body for the last 20 years?

As with most things, "free market" is what they demand when they don't get have access to the market or can't command the whole market.

Once they have access or enough of a percentage to set the prices, suddenly the best thing is high barriers to entry and whatever else will help them maintain inelastic demand.

Why do people tap their breaks in the left lane when passing someone slower on the right?

Please stop. Tap your breaks if you're signaling something going on in front, or if you need to slow down faster than just taking your foot off the gas will slow you.

Very unlikely. There's a statement at the bottom that explains what the fee is. There's a QR code at the top for more information, which OP cut off.

I doubt they went through the effort of updating their POS system, providing links to info on the receipt, and chose not to post a sign or put a note on the menu. Everywhere I have been with a service fee like this posts it, which would negate any legal issue.

Caveat emptor.

It's literally what's happening.

Texas used the same concept to empower private people to sue abortion providers and receivers under civil law since they couldn't do it criminally.

The country as a whole has done it for a long time with cellphone data, the five eyes alliance, etc.

They have access to information they're barred from getting directly themselves, and they get it from private companies. Spying by proxy.

Again, what good would this do if you are in a war torn country that cannot secure its elections?

So they amend their constitution. During a war. To force people into the streets to vote.

How does the government make sure the election is fair? Some people won't be able to vote due to danger. Some will be attacked. Some areas are occupied, and the occupation lines may change during the election.

If they tried to run an election now, Russia would publish their own results showing that the occupied areas voted for Putin. Trying to run elections is hard enough in normal times, doing so with Russia literally holding a large swath of your country is impossible.

This. Pretty much every company that does business with the US or a US state has clauses in their contract about "boycotting" Israel, poorly defined on purpose.
