If the fine doesn’t keep renewing itself or growing if they continue, this will just be another ‘cost of doing business’ situation. Even at that price.

So does Google. And yet they’re still being taken to court for monopolistic practices by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Monopoly doesn’t mean literally no competitors in the real world. It means no competitors worth noting because everyone has been corralled into using a single company.

FYI: Houthis recruit and have been responsible for the battliefield deaths of thousands of child soldiers.

Neither side is the good guy here.

Once you’re responsible for the deaths of thousands of children, I don’t think it’s a “which is worse” contest.

Because really, you don’t get much worse than murdering thousands of children.

Israeli airstrikes target Yemen’s Houthis day after deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv | CNN (edition.cnn.com)

“A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck military targets of the Houthi terrorist regime in the area of the Al Hudaydah (Hodeidah) Port in Yemen in response to the hundreds of attacks carried out against the state of Israel in recent months,” the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement....

The Houthis use child soldiers. Thousands have been killed on the battlefield. Praising them just because they are fighting Israel will not be tolerated any more than we would tolerate someone praising the Lord’s Resistance Army.

It’s not. Not when we have Oscar-winner Margot Robbie on Lemmy.

You clearly didn’t see Barbie.

Are you sure you love Lemmy if you have to ask that question?

I suppose, but I went from Stonehenge to the MST3K episode Pumaman with someone in another thread today, so 🤷‍♂️

So you did use a foot double in Barbie!

The ignorant like you should go to whatever streaming service has it in their region or whatever store sells the DVD or Blu-Ray and watch it right now because you are missing out on comedy greatness and you are definitely risking your health by not laughing enough.

You would have us ignore the context this story exists in

No, I would have the person I responded to not twist this into their election agenda.

Please don’t tell me what I would have people do. You are not psychic.

What, specifically, could a president do to fix this? They aren’t a dictator (unless Trump gets in). The president can’t raise minimum wage. He can’t force a corporation to pay people more. It has nothing to do with Trump and Biden.

Now if you want to talk about congress, fine. They’re the ones who have to fix this.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I know for a fact that if he did, you would complain that he hasn’t done enough because I remember what you were saying when he spoke to the UAW while they were on strike.

No one in the presidency will ever pass your purity test.

Oh, and in case you decide to pretend otherwise, I’ve brought a receipt:

Okay:

What would Biden veto? Is there a “give people less money” bill?

What executive order could he make beyond what he has already made? He raised federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

And he did use the bully pulpit. He did it when he raised the federal minimum wage.

But, of course, that doesn’t pass the purity test.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You literally criticized Biden for doing exactly that 10 months ago. I shared the screenshot.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I never do, because the only answer they can give to get what they want is “he should be a dictator.”

FlyingSquid OP ,

Why? Is there an original somewhere else once you do that?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Re-carved anyway, although I’d like to know what happened to all the original stone. You’d think we’d be able to find it. It’s a lot of stone based on that drawing.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

On what? You can’t just chip stone off a statue and then hope you find a use for it.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

At the age they were building pyramids and would have supposedly recarved the Sphinx, they were mostly using very large stone blocks. They only switched to smaller stone blocks in the Amarna period when Akhenaten had them do it to speed up construction. But that was centuries later.

FlyingSquid ,

You mean when they built a pier unable to withstand the famously stormy seas of the Mediterranean on the Mediterranean coast at the cost of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars? Yes, I remember.

No. A crazy man who says a lot of crazy things and gets on shows like Rogan’s.

It started the first day a rumor came in that she was going to take over for Biden. Someone who had been posting "don’t vote for Biden: for months immediately posted a “don’t vote for Kamala” post.

Really there’s a sub-joke here about how, because no one ever bothers scanning their Mac for viruses since they think they’re virus-proof, all the Macs are functioning as the virus farms they’ve been for quite some time.

Hows the Segway?

Because people need to know what happens when they promote a group that uses child soldiers.

I don’t particularly like you right now. I’m not planning on removing you unless you also decide to praise and defend a group that has murdered thousands of children.

As you can see here, plenty of performers with less star power than Cena are banned from entering China for even mild criticism. He bootlicked.

He has less integrity than Katy Perry.

Dude, he apologized in Mandarin. That’s pretty bootlicky.
