I think his main motivation for continuing to run the company is to spread his agenda. If it only costs him a small percent of revenue to keep pushing Nazi taking points, thenbi think he’ll just pay the fines.

You should just read what the Republicans will do if Trump is reelected.

They’ve published their plans, and I want exactly zero of any of the “policy” they plan on implementing.

The article says his department’s budget has increased by $270 million since newsom took office. Poor guy is underfunded!

I mean, he makes the rounds in the right wing grift-o-sphere somewhat regularly, has huge name recognition, and likely a very positive q score among maga types.

He probably doesn’t need any leftist outrage to win a primary in the right district.

I would think that to be the case, but he final line stating the population of Norway implies that these aren’t rates, but total numbers.

Because Elmo demands that his people redesign the idea of a car from the ground up, just because he wants to prove he’s The Most Special Boy. Remember when they were having all those problems with power steering, and they were like, “hey, our company is basically brand new, we’re still working out some kinks.”

Like, power steering has been solved for a long time now, there’s no need to try to reinvent it.

I’m surprised that they haven’t released any cars with three, five, or six wheels yet.

There’s a skip button for a reason.

I have a regular who I have to periodically remind not to play what I call “novelty songs.”

It’s like, “Sarge, I know that you genuinely want to listen to Monster Mash, followed by four different James Bond movie theme songs, but you’re killing the vibe here.”

This concept was in season 2 of Slow Horses.

Fighting climate change takes systemic change, as to truly solve it we need to do away with extractive capitalism. Turning on the money taps to fund the military industry fits neatly within the current system.

No, crypto is never the solution for anything. Its use cases are limited to drugs and scams, which are sometimes the same things.

I don’t think healthy food is necessarily more expensive, at least not if you know what you’re doing. My personal experience is actually the opposite.

The problem, as you mentioned is the time, and the emotional and physical labor of figuring out something the whole family will want to eat and cooking it. Those things are all expenditures in their own ways, but not financial.

Yeah, I agree unironically.

No, the Indian government can’t do anything to a website that isn’t based in Indian territory.

A good example is a recent giant investigation by Reuters into an Indian hacker-for-hire company, and the man who founded (and made hundreds of millions of dollars off of) it. The man sued Reuters over it, and an Indian court found the article “indicative of defamation.” I believe Reuters is appealing, or there is something ongoing. In the meantime, they took the article down worldwide. Why? Because they have offices in India, and employees there, and the Indian government could punish those branches if the article stayed online in other parts of the world.

In this case, they’ve deployed similar tactics to pressure international companies to block the website.

Meanwhile, the New Yorker and The Daily Beast have large articles up based on the Reuters investigation, because they have no branches in India, and thus give no fucks about what their courts say. The original Reuters expose is also still available on the Internet archive.

Go into settings on your app, set to open links in external browser. Assuming your primary browser is Firefox with ublock on, you shouldn’t have a problem.

Even opening with my Lemmy app’s internal browser, there were two easily closable pop-ups, and the embedded ads in the article didn’t even load.

This is every colonizer’s playbook: you make constant small incursions, then when the people finally push back, you use it as an excuse to wipe them out and take the land.

Your edit has been my pet theory for some time. That and he gets to ruin a platform that leftists have used to organize around the world.

Every local TV News station is likely to be conservative, no matter which broadcaster they are affiliated with. Sinclair, Hearst, Scripps, etc, they are all right wing, even by American standards.
