Clearly, stupidity and/or strawman arguments are.

toddler has injured themselves with a firearm every day for the last two years

Should really take the gun away from that dude and teach him the difference between plural and singular 🤔

You mean the cousin of Seymour Asses? The asexual dog Gaymore Asses?

“## QuickBooks Solopreneur - $1 per month”

That’s not He-Man singing the iconic 4 Non-Blondes song “What’s Up” (nor is it the equally iconic Marvin Gaye song that IS called What’s Going On!)

And the link. I highly doubt that the sword is interested in QuickBooks…

Judge Aileen Cannon is considering tossing out the notes as evidence.

It says a lot about her that it’s not immediately apparent whether or not that’s a joke inventing comically blatant corruption or something she’s actually considering 😮‍💨🤦

Isn’t that the new Paul Rudd vehicle?

Alternate headline: two years after the result of failing to codify Roe v Wade for almost 50 years in spite of campaigning on protecting abortion rights, Dem leadership reiterate the obvious.

Nothing except for deflection of blame for the many war crimes of the fascist apartheid regime of Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir and Smotrich.

Which in turn ignores the fact that only Biden is CURRENTLY the president and accountable for his own actions (which include material aid and political cover to the point that the US in general and the executive branch in particular is an active PARTICIPANT in the genocide rather than just a biased bystander) and that he’s acting against the wishes of not just the vast majority of the people who voted for him, but also the majority of the population in general.

I don’t like the use of the term either, as it makes legitimate criticism seem disingenuous if not downright Trumpian, but that doesn’t mean that it’s inaccurate.

Viking_Hippie ,

It does for the genocide denying Zionists whose ONLY goal is to convince people that the actions of the Israeli government are justified. I suspect that the one you originally addressed was one of them, if not just a thoroughly gaslighted useful idiot 🤷

Viking_Hippie ,

I get what you’re saying, but I strenuously disagree with your central assertion that there’s no point in legitimate criticism of a sitting president as long as there isn’t currently a better president available.

You don’t just get a free pass to commit crimes against humanity because there’s nobody lined up who wouldn’t.

That’s lumping the US president in with the likes of Viktor Orban, Vladimir Putin, Benyamin Netanyahu, and other presidents whose subjects aren’t allowed to criticize their worst actions.

up to 10 percent of its global annual revenue

Should a DMA violation be repeated, fines can reach up to 20 percent of global annual revenue.

That’s over a thousand dollars!

Throughout the past several months, Apple has made a number of changes to comply with bypass the DMA

Fixed that for them

We are confident our plan complies with the law,

It most likely doesn’t.

and estimate more than 99 percent of developers would pay the same or less in fees to Apple under the new business terms we created.

Translation: current fleecing levels will remain

All developers doing business in the EU on the App Store have the opportunity to utilize the capabilities that we have introduced, including the ability to direct app users to the web to complete purchases at a very competitive rate.

You’re still free to pay us for using the cheaper services provided by others.

As we have done routinely, we will continue to listen and engage with the European Commission.”

We’re paying close attention to find out how best to bypass the law without paying the fines

delaying the rollout of Apple Intelligence — the company’s name for a suite of generative AI features that will debut in iOS 18 — and some other features in the EU. “We are concerned that the interoperability requirements of the DMA could force us to compromise the integrity of our products in ways that risk user privacy and data security,” the company told Bloomberg.

Translation: they won’t let us monetize every tiny bit of data with no compensation or even notice

Fuck Apple. Fuck their walled garden profiteering bullshit. FUCK their blatant lies about it.

Viking_Hippie ,

I know, I was just being silly for the sake of being silly on that one heh.

Fining Apple tens of billions of dollars is genuinely a great start towards making it not financially viable for them to break the law, so I’m all for it!

Viking_Hippie ,

Typical Dem leadership shenanigans: they’ll help their rich owner donors and their corporations with no strings attached and hardly any conditions.

When they do anything that solely or even primarily helps the other 90%, though, they’ll means test and otherwise restrict it to death and pretend that it’s the best they can do because of [current rotating villains] having to sell it to their voters.

Voters who have only ever been given a choice between Republicans and almost-Republicans that the DNC back with much more money than anyone to the left of Reagan.

Viking_Hippie ,

No no, they’ll provide FANS to serve as butlers. Fetch the odd cool drink, ice cream or condoms. That sort of thing

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah, they need the Toilet Locator app!

That’s Dave. I’d steer clear unless you’re into Warhammer 40k

It’s one of those things that are obvious to reasonable people but it’s nice to have proof for when you run into unreasonable people who deny it.

Talk about the Terrible Twos!

Toddlers: about 21 deaths per year

Last I checked, there was more weeks than that in a year. Did those fuckers in HR go and change it?

Viking_Hippie ,

Ah ok, fair enough.

Now that you mention it, it was pretty silly to expect the toddler to have a 100% kill rate lol

Viking_Hippie ,

Right behind you!

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah they do. The fact that the company structure is deliberately set up to hide who owns what is one of the main impediments to carrying out the sentence.

They can’t take something that belongs to a shell corp that he’s not listed as the sole owner of until they prove that he de facto is, and a lot of it is registered in his parents’ name for that exact fraudulent purpose.

never became law due to the intervention of C. A. Waldo, a professor at Purdue University, who happened to be present in the legislature on the day it went up for a vote.

Ah, the good (not really, but bear with me) old days where even the crazies would listen to experts…

Also, this is brilliant:

the Speaker accepted another member’s recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could “find a deserved grave”

How America’s “Most Powerful Lobby” Is Stifling Efforts to Reform Oil Well Cleanup in State After State (www.propublica.org)

Last year, representatives of New Mexico’s oil industry met behind closed doors with the very groups with which they typically clash — state regulators and environmentalists — in search of an answer to the more than 70,000 wells sitting unplugged across the state. Many leak oil, brine and toxic or explosive gasses, and...

Actually, it MORE than offsets it, leading to MORE overall productivity from not having exhausted and unhappy workers

In Scandinavia and Germany, it’s popular amongst all sorts of people, not just megakarens…

Idunno. Why is her elbow just the right size for her elbow?

The United States. Apparently it’s a very niche thing over there 🤷

That’s actually not a very good comparison since, decibels being a base 10 exponential scale, the loudness of 133 and 155 decibels are not at all comparative.

A much better comparison is a 1984 Motörhead concert:

Lemmy and co.’s set was allegedly measured at 130 decibels, before it was cut short as plaster from the ceiling started to rain down on the audience below.

And that’s still MUCH less loud than a microwave eggsplosion!

Government official affirms that fascist war criminal isn’t arbitrarily exempt from international law. Zionist genocide deniers flip out. Film at eleven.

Californication?

It was since removed, though.

Well that’s just fucking great!

Or rather imagine the horror if the earth accelerated at such speeds DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE SUN 😬😂

won’t accept any answer that isn’t literally bulletproof

Quite fitting, then, that the Venn diagram of people who would literally shoot bullets at a question and people who are religious is pretty much a circle 😉

Islam used to be the forefront of scientific and mathematical discovery.

No, Islamic COUNTRIES did. They didn’t achieve excellence in science because Islam benefitted science.

They achieved excellence in science compared to Christian countries in large part because their religious authority figures didn’t stand in the way anywhere near as much. Not because religion helped.

Believing in god have nothing to do with science

Not true. They are polar opposites. That’s why scientists are disproportionately atheist and agnostic: the evidence based mode of thinking employed in science doesn’t mix with the superstitious and unquestioningly convinced thinking of religion without some SERIOUS cognitive dissonance.

it’s that irrational thought that make us human

No. That’s not being human, that’s being brainwashed and/or obedient to authority.

You’re right that it’s irrational and that irrationality is an inherent part of being human, but the SPECIFIC irrationality of religion is learned and enforced, NOT inherent.

Viking_Hippie ,

I’m not sure that’s allowed at the ballot box, but it’s worth a try 🤷

Viking_Hippie OP ,

I’m not actually in Raleigh, just headline shopping 😁

It was like the 12th article about the same thing, selected because the group rules say that the title of the post should match the headline and the national and international outlets all spelled it out too much like Politico, or AP
