Hes going to scrap everything not nailed down, these people are only realizing this now?

(I mean hopefully, better late than never)

project 2025 calls to dismantle basically every protection and organization and replace them with corrupt tyrannical stooges.

Im sure he will also pretend to be shockwd when he learns about literally everything other trump product that is also not made in America. (all of them)

We think google sucks times infinity no touchbacks! said Russia in an official statement

yes this article is infuriatingly toothless considering everything.

There aren't really any currently, honestly.

Bill Burr (who isnt actually a conservative) still tells "politically incorrect" or mocking progressive comedy kinds of jokes, without actually being shitty or hateful, so he might come closest. But even he is fairly progressive really, or at least he tries to be.

Funny how the article only voices responses from the trump campaign denying everything without any challenge.

(and by funny,Imean shitty)

Hopefully they have known about this for some time and are preparing

What a sane and not at all ludicrous response.

the first person who develops a browser that effectively filters out AI results is going to do very well

I disagree. Presidents dont usually need an office to see if their orders are legally sound, as other than Trump presidents don't typically suggest doing illegal things. Making it easier for anyone in power to ram through illegal orders is a bad thing.

This reminded me of a documentary i saw about crow intelligence years ago on this topic, its worth a watch:

very interesting... ( ffwd to 44:00 or so to see more on their grudges, as shown by the "mask experiment".)

No, Democracy isn't dead. Its wounded and limping, but its still alive enough at the moment. Otherwise why would the billionaires and other assholes be trying so hard to discourage voting? It does matter if you vote. Fashy types want people to think it doesnt matter and sit it out.

Maybe its just me but I'd be way more likely to buy a game if I knew it was made by well treated workers.

CEO Sam Altman, who had previously emphasized that he didn’t have any equity in the company, will now get equity worth billions, in addition to ultimate control over OpenAI.

what! You mean he stands to profit billions after lying about his intentions?! A techbro would never!!

"Protect the children" is the new "fight terror". Big empty phrases that only end up taking away rights and targeting minorities.

The fact that its been so normalized to be this openly shitty and callous toward frigging children... i dont even know how to react to this any more.

Im not saying its hopeless, but I feel like a lot of people on the "lets not let children go hungry" side of the fence are almost left speechless by these idiots. But i feel like thats almost part of their strategy - stunning the opposition. There has to be a better response.

What's the best way to respond to this kind of brazen cruelty? (Besides voting and campaigning for candidates who arent sociopathic).

"absorbing and destroying a unique company would be a real feather in the old cap"

Fandom is 95% popups at this point.

"If you tell our customers we misled them, that would be bad for our business!"

I think this is mostly just a case of becomming super rich. It happens a LOT to people who become wealthy, it tends to change your personality and the way you think, usually for the worse.

There have been many studies that confirm this. Though there are a few exceptions, the data shows rich people really do tend to behave like entitled assholes, think they know better, think they ARE better.

Reminds me of how Trump has been going after wind farms for a long time. He claims they're noisy and they're killing all the birds. (He began saying this when Scotland wanted to place Wind farms near his Scottish golf resort)

Even if Lizzo does turn out to be a hypocritical garbage person, the internet misogynists are going to run wild with this. This time they get to go after her and her accusers.

The conversation around this is going to get real horrible real fast, knowing the internet.

I like how they keep testing this crap on the Canadian market.

I dont know if were the best guinea pigs, I mean look at what we pay for telecoms. We're pretty passive when it comes to being gouged, other countries might not be so potato-like in their response.

Youre right, but this is Steven King, when is he not putting out a new book?

Also hes not struggling for attention, he's probably Americas most famous author. He speaks out about stuff all the time I dont think its fair to write off his opinion on this being solely a publicity stunt.

Good! Other free countries, please follow suit.

If you dont stomp out the nazi fascists, they will grow and try to stomp you.

Reddit is a flaming monetized dumpster now but it used to be what the article is describing. (mostly)

It hasn't worked for a while. Even a year ago it was considerably better.

I can't believe it, but Bing is now the better search engine. What is happening to the world?!

This article assumes I am drinking smoothies purely for the flavanoids.

All the conservative parties in the west seem to be pushing the same thing. It seems pretty co-ordinated which is even scarier. Every country is hearing the same talking points.

Isn't it significantly cheaper for most businesses to be run remotely? What is the pressure of returning to work coming from?

He is right.

He was president for four years and he didnt do this at all. What are you talking about?

People are getting pretty spicy with the responses. OP was just underwhelmed by a game getting a lot of hype. Like lots of people are going to like it, but not everyone. I think theyre just trying to generate discussion, not say "everyone who likes starfield is an CHUMP!!" or something.

Its reasonable for him to assume nobody is going to stop him, since nobody has stopped him yet. He thinks the rules dont apply to him. Placing him in custody/taking away his phone are the only thing that will work.

Marvel fatigue + poor advertising mostly, I would think. As someone who likes all the characters in this movie and the marvel universe in general... even I am waiting to watch it on Disney+. No Marvel movie is a must-watch for me anymore, hardly any movies are. Theatres are just too damned expensive.

Sueing anti-hate groups will really bring in the advertisers! Another genius move.

Hopefully it'll get thrown out, seems pretty meritless.

At least with other speculative crashes like say beanie babies you were left with a cute toy.

Its probably going to end up like facebook.
A big lumbering thing, still heavily populated but ad choked and overrun by bots and bad actors, indoctrinating unsuspecting users. Even if it stays big, hopefully its reputation will suffer enough to keep most new users away.

I was happy to see he's currently on the cover of People magazine. I live in a pretty conservative neighbourhood, so it was cool seeing some representation waiting in line at the grocery store (even if its just a little bit). :)
