argon , 7 months ago to news in Donald Trump wants Jan. 6 police to be charged for fighting rioters

Suggest that they also charge police who beat the hell out of innocent BLM protestors and watch their heads explode.

argon , 7 months ago (edited 7 months ago) to piracy in Sony is going to remove certain purchased titles from user libraries

It’s all Discovery shows. They ended the agreement to have their shows on the playstation network. It’s more than likely due to the Warner Brothers merger and them deciding to take all their toys away to try to force users onto HBO Max, but I don’t know the details here. There was probably nothing Sony could do. But if you paid for them individually via Sony then Discovery should honor that as they got paid at the time of the sale.

argon , 7 months ago to news in House Expels George Santos From Congress

The district has gone for Democrats in every presidential election of the past 20 years except once. A Democrat held the house seat for the past ten years prior to the 2022 election. Special elections are usually a little weird and Dem’s have been doing really well in them recently. It might be a competitive and close election, but it’s not a red district by any stretch of the imagination.

Apparently his wife (who helped create the giant trash pile called Moms For Liberty) was a part of a longstanding threeway relationship with this woman too, so that’s a least a little gay.

They know the seat will go Dem in the special election, and it just chips away at their teeny tiny majority ahead of the 2024 elections. That’s all there is to it. They know he’s an embarrassment who continuously broke the law, they just don’t care.

I think it does bother him, he’s just trying to put on a tough guy persona. There was a story not long go about him locking himself in a room and freaking out after he got publicly booed. His reputation as a business genius is in tatters. I think that’s one of the driving forces to his alignment with the right wing manosphere. They still blow smoke up his ass and call him a genius, while everyone else slowly realized he was a jackass who built his reputation on the shoulders of actual tech and business geniuses. He’s just a walking checkbook.

argon , 7 months ago to technology in Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”

I just do it automatically. Thanks to my typing class in junior high in the 90’s. I’m guessing most people on the internet don’t do it? It’s never even crossed my mind that it might be unusual these days.

This is why these terrorists think they are above the law and can get away with this shit. Because they can! Two years for shooting at police. Time served for storming the capital. All you have to be is white in Texas and you can commit any crime you can imagine and get treated with kid gloves.

argon , 7 months ago to technology in Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”

Is he getting paid enough to recoup the 44 billion he blew on twitter?

argon , 7 months ago to technology in Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”

He is taking zero responsibility. I wonder if he is even capable of understanding that this is all the direct consequences of his actions. Or maybe he is just deflecting. But this is all happening because of you, dumbfuck. You did this. Ten years ago he was getting Iron Man cameos and Star Trek writers thought he some kind of religious figure. Then he went down some right wing freakout wormhole and he drank that kool aid down to the last drop. You did this. No one owes you their advertising dollars. You bought a company that had reach and influence and a huge ass userbase and you fucked it all up. Enjoy your edgy memes and your ruined company.

argon , 7 months ago to news in Maryland roommates claim police detained them at gunpoint for no reason and shot their pet dog: "No remorse"

The dog was inside the apartment which they illegally entered. They should never have come into contact with the dog at all.

If the dog had actually bitten someone there are proper procedures to deal with that situation. Cops aren’t a murder squad who get to apply justice on the fly.
