Did a quick search to see if nutrition and ingredients were listed - they weren't. Saw a lot of "our products are super nutritious trust me bro" in their ads.

Actually makes me thankful of all the regulations our food suppliers have to follow in the US.

Same energy as CEOs demanding workers return to the office

Look up how she made his son buy back his own letters between him and his father.

Opening a walled community is always good for the end users. Promoting competition is always good for the end users.

I get the feeling they're trying to avoid martyrdom. He needs to go to prison for the big things, not on technicalities.

Read up on Reagan and anti-trust. He essentially said that monopolies that resulted in lower prices were good for consumers and that the government would turn a blind eye to them. Hasn't been much change since then.

That's the point though, right? It's all publicity. They don't want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

Same way "Joe the Plumber", Kim Davis, Kyle Rittenhouse, etc. GOP elevates their story to the national spotlight to "prove their point" and then leaves them out to dry after their 15 minutes of fame have been used up.

Republicans: The government needs to stop trying to be our babysitter

Also Republicans: this

From personal experience, refunds aren't off the table. My wife has been a nurse for over 10 years. She just got a refund check from the Treasury stating that she over paid on her student loans. It wasn't an insignificant amount.

I feel like Twitter (I will always deadname it) was the beginning of the end for him. Unfortunately, things like this can take years or decades to resolve, but whereas 5 years ago he had the midas touch and could do no wrong now there seems to be nothing but a stream of negative news about him.

Time will tell

Just a reminder to everyone that it's fun to hope it's aliens, but Occam's Razor suggests it isn't and the real answer is likely something naturally occurring.

Old man yells at cloud.

Bill was submitted by a Republican, in a Republican controlled state Congress, and signed by a Republican governor. How is this a progressive issue?

More importantly, pay teachers what they're worth and they won't have to resort to things like OnlyFans to make up the difference.

If you make something and give it away for free, that's fine.

If you make something and I sell it to the masses for a profit without your permission that's theft.

Boomer Humor

I question if you're American. No American I've ever met says "USA". It's always "US" or "Americans". USA is only said as a chant of pride.

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

I've noticed when threads do start they are usually engaging conversations instead of the typical one-liner meme bullshit.

It's secret like Area 51 is secret. We know it's there, we know the government is doing something with it, but we don't know fully what, when, why, or how.

I like to imagine op thinks the guy is sneaking in alcohol and buying an empty cup from the theater. The Texas man is pissed because he doesn't know what to do with the remaining 2 oz after he planned on their cup holding 24oz.

I'm hoping it's more like a much needed vaccine for the American zeitgeist. Get people discussing what another civil war would actually look like and hopefully get us to realize the need for civil debates.

I watched the trailer and Jesse Plemens delivery of "Yeah, but what type of Americans" sent shivers down my spine.

Hopefully he's just biding his time and giving him enough rope to hang himself with.

So far Merchan has not seemed like a pushover in this trial and right now I trust he knows what he's doing.

Anti-user measures on a social media platform

I like the fan theory that Event Horizon is a prequel of sorts to the Warhammer universe.

I wonder if that will hold up in court for existing customers affected prior to the updated TOS.

Under his eye

I get what you're saying. He was a kid and probably had a fucked up childhood that led to everything. It's rare that people like that develop in a vacuum. But that's an explanation of how he got here, not an excuse.

Now he's an adult. There are definitely people on the right using him, but he made the decision to let them. He could have easily slunk into the shadows and gone on with his life. Instead, he felt the court acquittal wasn't enough and had to continue to prove he was right for his actions on the public stage. That's his choice and his alone.

He deserves the ridicule.

We really don't tell Musk to go back to his own country enough.

Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with "buy online drugs here" links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they're being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.

It's a difficult problem to solve.

The fact it's a video game smells of Musk's touch. Anyone else remember all the tweets he made about Tesla running games on the main monitor?

Not a Lemmy issue. Click bait unfortunately works to drive views through all social media platforms.

The thing I love is being able to click into the comments first to see the auto-generated summary. Prevents the site from getting my traffic.

Pay enough and staff correctly and the people will come. My wife is an RN. I know directly from her that most places don't do any of those things and still complain about shortages.

Who knew profit driven medical care was a bad idea /s

The problem I see that doesn't get mentioned enough is he has literally built a cult around himself. This makes it extra difficult to make him face consequences because he can easily turn himself into a martyr in his cult's eyes, which exacerbates the problem even more.

I think the cases brought against him already took so long because they knew they had to be air tight. Any legal wiggle room gives him more ammo to say "See, witch-hunt!"

IMO, the best thing that could happen for America is for him to die of natural consequences. It would deflate his cult as they tried to reconcile him being the god-delivered savior of the US and him just dying suddenly of natural causes. There would likely be conspiracies, as there always are, but it may be enough to snap some of the less radicalized out of this fucking trance he has them in.

We've also seen that his lackeys cannot play his game as well as he can. The hammer would fall easily on those left in his wake.

Why does anyone still buy HP?

And you've just summed up all religious conflicts.

Didn't Dodd-Frank get gutted a bit in recent years?

As a person

I too am a person and totally not an AI driven bot fellow human.

That fucker can go back to his own country!
