It’s just a different flavour of the same shit.

These days I have to create a spam filter for my phone notifications, let alone emails.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and you can pay them for corporate accounts and advertising.

How dare they advertise without giving WhatsApp (aka Facebook) a cut of the profits!

Even grocery stores in poor neighborhoods charge more

I just visited Graceland, the number of black folks that wanted to vote for trump was terrifying.

They had some really valid complaints about the Democrats, but they had no idea of what trump was, they just knew that the democrats weren’t solving their problems.

No, I think it’s the opposite……

Which part of trumps agenda is hidden? I mean he puts it ALL on display and his supporters don’t give a fuck.

I would bet that there’s nothing there because everyone already knows, and people have already decided whether they give a shit or not

And that’s terrifying

Lisa!

In this house we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!!

Everyone’s up in arms about a literal anonymous counter, but the other option is the current “spy on everything you do”

How is Mozilla getting flak for this outside of a few hardcore nerds that are welcome to use chrome if they so desire…

And I say that as a huge privacy advocate. In the local tin foil hat “privacy matters” nerd and I honestly don’t see the problem.

And quite frankly anyone that’s said it’s a problem has only been able to come up with “it shouldn’t help them count your views “ which is ridiculous, because it’s very anonymous.

Sooo …. Help me out here, what’s the issue?

Yes, but since you deposited a fake check, they’ll freeze all your bank accounts while they audit and investigate you and everything you do.

It’s very unpleasant.

Here, let me pay you $700 for this item that’s worth $500 and you can just send me the extra $200 difference. I have to do it this way because it’s your father’s, brother’s, nephew’s, cousin’s, former roommate’s will and I’m just signing the whole check off to you.

Meanwhile the original check is fake and now you’ve lost the original item AND $200 and the bank is investigating you, and not them.

If you spend a little extra time and create a docker compose file, you’ll save yourself in the long run

Nope, the ai will continue to get better, and soon spotting the fakes will be nearly impossible.

Ehhhhh Queen Elizabeth II was plenty leader enough for them, but you might not be wrong.

The international community may not get a vote, but you also have to keep “how will he be perceived with other world leaders” in mind.

But I think you’re right, she kinda needs a straight white man to appeal to the broader audience

Hopefully you’re right and she picks him?

I don’t know. Even the homophobia within the USA is problematic to her.

Buttigieg being gay is unfortunately a huge strike against him because in the international community, the acceptance of gay folk is still not there. Many countries still have some very strict laws against being gay and that complicates things.

But man, that guy is a wolf. Watching him deal with hecklers or just debating someone, he’s just a straight up shark. He can smell the blood and wreck someone in one bite.

But then you lose the bigger point that his rhetoric and horse shit has lead us here.

You’re too zoomed in.

I disagree.

The sheer number of lies he tells, what difference is one more? Especially an inconsequential one?

We’re all fairly sure it wasn’t the bullet, but glass, or shrapnel or whatever, but that buries the lede.

The point here is whether it was an assassination attempt or a false flag attempt (personally I think assassination) and that trumps own hateful rhetoric has created such a ridiculous scenario where this shit happens.

I never considered this…

I wonder …… if in his mind….

“ he’s not gay, because he turned me down in an airport bathroom”

Maybe?
