Makes perfect sense about the links. Now their conduct of being defensive/borderline trolling in all the responses is not okay.
Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

His campaign should continue highlight how much we were lied to about Biden's mental health. It is hilarious to hear them beat that drum when they are not even running against Biden anymore and Trump is the only deranged old man running now.
It is clear they should be banned already.
I think it does bring up some larger issues though. Like should limits be placed on accounts. Do we really want users like this? Are they adding to the experience?
Try harder please. I have read several articles posted by OP. They clearly have an agenda and have engaged in a lot of trolling behavior.
So the question is having an active troll/propagandist really good for the community. Maybe you could argue that they generate engagement or that we need to protect people's right to disagree.
The community should carefully weigh this moving forward. If accounts that act like bots are allowed then this place will follow in the footsteps of Digg or Reddit.
Personally, I would have already set them straight as a moderator. I have never been impressed by edgy people who add very little to the conversation.
This is a nonstarter because there is a quarter pound of salt in every gallon of salt water. A small town of 50k would easily produce close to a million pounds of salt a day. Now try to scale that up to 20 million people in LA for instance.
Yes, a bunch of had to evacuate their homes. This is why the government has come down so hard on them. Disproportionate? Sure, but then the government has never been known for their reasonableness
This is a dumb take. The artist doesn't listen to the clay when he molds it. This is not about listening. It is about telling.
Impressionable young men being propagandized to. Manipulated to be political about topics they don't understand.
Being fed lies that will hurt them and everyone around them the rest of their lives so someone can get their money and their votes.
They are not tapping these young men's reality. They are creating it.
The Democratic party should play to these young men's insecurities, lie to them, and turn them against society am I right?
This is propaganda, psychological manipulation that the conservatives are using. Fear following into hate is a very effective tactic.
There is no effective counter because now you have to convince a incel they are wrong. People believe what they hear especially if you are using the best of psychology to fuck with them.
You act like it is the Democratic parties responsibility to inoculate against all the problems the Republicans created.
The conservatives lost because the Democratic Party did their policies better than they could. They moved to the right and instead of trying to counter them the conservatives just went off the deep end.
I don't feel sorry for them nor do I applaud the direction the Democratic party went.
I think we can pretty much agree on this.
No doubt about that. The real question is how do we move forward with the least loss of human life and dignity. Leaving these people to continue to terrorize each other is no longer an option.
Translation: US automakers are worried about Chinese imports servicing a sector they have abandoned.
CEO should not be compensated in shares because they have insider information and can benefit from manipulation. It has always been a recipe for disaster.
And this is why popular vote may not be a good way of choosing a sheriff. It produces some truly awful pick me candidates who are more interested in political power and grandstanding than serving their office.
Without a strong code of ethics backed up by the law people can get away with a lot of bullshit.
This guy should resign and if not then disbarred for his conduct. It boggles my mind that elected officials have no oversight. Instead he will probably face no repercussions for othering people and denigrating his office.
That one trick NASA does not want you to know about.
What do rural folk who kill their dogs instead of training them know about politics. Stop putting people who are grossly ill-equiped to do the job in charge.
We are in the fucking Olympics of world politics and the best you can put forward is a two-timing pussy graber and a inbred dog murderer. You can't make this shit up.
He did say remove conservatives...
Needs some fuzzy dice above his head.
There are far more pedophiles who claim to be straight than gay. She is full of shit trying to conflate the two. Classic conservative rhetoric from the 1950's, what a fucking weirdo.
Humanity as we know it existed for ten of thousands of years without copyright. Copyright is the anti-thesis to creation. Everything humans create is iterative. Copyright along with the rest of intellectual property seeks to pervert creation for personal gain.
Art does not need copyright to survive and I would argue that intellectual property is not needed to promote the arts or science. It is designed to do the opposite which is limit creation to the benefit of the individual.
What makes this worse is the individual is now the corporation. Do you know that a lot of successful artists, particularly musicians, don't even own their own works?
Corporations benefit disproportionally by copyright. They have lobbied for decades to further pervert the flawed intention of copyright and intellectual property to the breaking point. Simply put, going down the road of trying to prove who created what was first is wrong.
Creation does not happen in a vacuum. Pretending that we create is isolation is farcical. We are great because of all those that came before us.
The telephone was invented by multiple people. The Wright brothers had European counterparts. These issues around intellectual copyright are a lot more complex than we are ready to admit.
We have billions of people now. Stop trying to pretend any idea, drawing, tune, or writing is unique. Rude wake up call, it is not.
If you put something on the Internet you are giving up ownership of it. This is reality and companies taking advantage of this for AI have already proven this is true.
You are not going to be able to put the cat back in the bag. The whole concept of ownership over art, ideas, and our very culture was always ridiculous.
It is past time to do away with the joke of the legal framework we call IP law. It is merely a tool for monied interests to extract more obscene profit from our culture at this point.
There is only one way forward and that is sweeping privacy protections. No more data collection, no more targeted advertising, no more dark patterns. The problem is corporations are not going to let that happen without a fight.
I am imagining Gilbert Godfrey saying this loudly and in the most annoying way possible as he climaxes.
Unrelated to the topic but has anyone else noticed the quality of the soft serve has gone down dramatically in the last several years. I got a ice cream cone and it didn't even taste good. I was looking at their advert for a Mcflurry and it looked all ice crystally and not good at all. If they can't even make the picture look good that is saying something.
Damn that is a good burn.
So then it is suffice to say Trump has floated the idea of offing our current President. I am so sick of even hearing his stupid name at this point.
Trying desperately to paint them both the same is a tired old schtick.
You probably should never use a Mac then.
Nice try Mr. Terrorist!
It should be illegal to tease people like this.
They are at war therefore it is an attack not a "terrorist attack". I am sure you can debate whether or not an attack during war time could be terrorist.
A terrorist attack is usually designed to cause psychological trauma and involves injuring civilian population. This was clearly an attack on the economy and I don't agree with the Russian media that this is a terrorist attack. So I think the quotations make sense as it is a sign of sarcasm poking fun at Russia's reporting.
Spoken like a true CEO. About time for a merger riiight?
I am pretty sure they are insinuating that it is antitrust violation. It probably is but our current governance seems unwilling to do anything about anti-competitive practices.
It was not condoms, here is the study you were most likely thinking about.
Pro-military my ass, the Republicans truly have no tenants other than their stupid culture wars. Pathetic.
Someone should explain qualified immunity to this chucklefuck. What's next, he gonna tell us he would fight a war with no rules so he would win every time?
How brain dead do you have to be to even listen to his ravings let alone follow him and think he is a leader.
The right wing censors everything that is not lockstep with whatever the current message is. They carefully curate their message boards while decrying when others do it.
I used to use Reddit a lot and I talked a lot of shit over the years. The only time I got a temp ban was for posting that the GOP should take out Ron Desantis like the dirty diaper he is on a Pro-Trump discussion.
When I pointed out my comment was rather tame compared to the others ones on the post the mods claimed I was harassing them and tried to get my account banned. It was insane but I learned an important lesson.
Soooo let me get this straight. Boycott Israel bad but Nazi sympathy and Holocaust denial good? The Republicans are truly fucked up.
But, but Biden!!!
Tesla, "We are fucking liars."
These are pretty much my thoughts as well.
