Russia says U.S. is responsible for deadly Ukrainian attack on Crimea (www.reuters.com)

MOSCOW, June 23 (Reuters) - Russia said on Sunday that the United States was responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula with five U.S.-supplied missiles that killed at least five people including three children and injured 124 more....

Seems a lot more plausible than them shooting down 4 missiles, def on-brand too

frunch ,

Damn, I’m def gonna start recommending smoking to any pregnant ladies i see–that’s quite a life pro tip! Go figure the AI was actually right about that lol

frunch ,

Not surprised to see crickets in the comments on this one. I mean really, what’s the bigger story here: the fact he admitted to that, or that he won’t face any repercussions? I’ll be happy to be proven wrong on that second part, though i don’t expect to see anything actually happen to him over this.

frunch ,

Ahh well late to the party as usual ¯_(ツ)_/¯

frunch ,

Well that balances the damage lol

frunch ,

This is the kind of intellectual laziness i expect from maga chuds 🥂

frunch ,

Nah

frunch ,

For all the analyses out there attempting to explain conservatism, that really seems to strike the nail squarely on the head.

Fake it till you make it! (งツ)ว

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

“it’s just another dollar, brah”

frunch ,

The cope is strong with this one lol

frunch ,

REGULATORS!!! Mount up! It was a clear black night…

frunch ,

It’s like sushi… kinda

frunch ,

I hope you made sure to tip them at least 20% for the convenience 🙃

Well isn’t that great, mr. moneybags

/S

Yes I’m making a stupid joke bc it’s a paid search engine, something i never would have imagined would be a thing. Now I’m going to price it and perhaps finally pull the trigger on an acct there because fuck google, fuck bing, and fuck all these sites being “wrappers” of them. I come from the dial-up days when lycos, webcrawler, altavista, yahoo–hard searches that would separate the men from the boys. Now we just get this “A.I.” bullshit instead and it falls apart under its own weight. Excuse me while i wave my cane at the sun ☀️

Edit: so it turns out you can get 100 free searches on their site here: kagi.com/onboarding?p=choose_plan

Otherwise, it’s $5/month for 300 searches, $10/mo for unlimited, and $25/mo for their “ultimate” exclusive experience…whatever that may be. I’m gonna try the freebies and see what happens. I’m still on the fence about paying for search, but I’m really tired of bs coming from these companies leading to things like we’re experiencing today

frunch ,

They are responsible for so many shitty laws and actions that when they do something objectively good, there’s no escaping the feeling that there’s some ulterior motives ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

frunch ,

Ok, so who do i vote for this year?

frunch ,

This was a fascinating comment to read, thanks for posting 🙂

frunch ,

I wonder if this is supposed to be an ‘open secret’ to get the magas in a tizzy

frunch ,

I still remember the GOP trying to dismantle the USPS while trump was in office. Even destroying perfectly good equipment! Guess they had a change of heart?!?

frunch ,

I don’t understand why though 🤷‍♂️

frunch ,

Jesus fucking christ. Now we’re all at risk of being convincingly replicated online and made to say anything the user wants?? Saw this shit coming from a mile away. Yes deepfakes have existed of course but now it’s easy as 1-2-3. Everything good eventually turns to shit i suppose, but man the Internet was the coolest most advanced discovery ever and now it’s being turned into the stuff of absolute nightmares. I shouldn’t be surprised i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

we can’t have nice things, after all

frunch ,

Can you refute the info in the article? That would go a lot further to prove your comment valid.

↖️This is the real life pro-tip right here

frunch ,

Is being a sociopath a prerequisite for being the head of a massively successful tech company?

frunch ,

🥴

frunch ,

That’s not all, folks! 🐷 This shit runs deep, this is merely the tip of the iceberg. I just can’t wrap my head around children being brought into these places, trained, and then let loose–and no adult along that chain thinks to themselves that maybe there’s a problem with that?!?!?!

From the article:

  • One 14-year-old was severely injured while cleaning the drumstick packing line belt at the plant in Virginia, the investigation alleged.
  • The agreement stipulates that Fayette will hire a third-party consultant to monitor the company’s compliance with child labor laws for at least three years, as well as to facilitate trainings. The company must also establish a hotline for individuals to report concerns about child labor abuses.
  • The Labor Department’s latest statistics indicate the number of children being employed illegally in the U.S. has increased 88% since 2019.

This is all very performative, slap-on-the-wrist level punishment, and i imagine there are hundreds more children out there still working in shit conditions because nobody will say or do anything about it until more injuries/deaths force them to.

frunch ,

The next 1/6 insurrection in 2025 will consist of hundreds of diapered men smearing the walls with shit. That dude that smeared his shit on the wall at the inaugural insurrection of '20 is gonna think he started a ‘movement’

frunch ,

It does seem like it could be the name of one of the members of Shobaleader One…

frunch ,

Cope a little harder, gringo

frunch ,

Interesting too how that “cost of doing business” is basically money they don’t receive as opposed to money they actually have to pay

frunch ,

Yeah, things have actually gotten quite a bit better over the past 3 years. Much of that was due to the abysmal performance of his predecessor, so even a “just ok” job would have looked like a masterwork.

That said, Biden’s def hitting his stride lately 😄

frunch ,

Now you do: nytimes.com/…/in-n-out-burgers-boycott-california…

frunch ,

I’m going to watch this show now just so i can see this Russian Pringles guy for myself, lol! Not enough Pringles guys out there these days

frunch ,

Those 2 look like they need to get a room ಠ_ಠ

frunch ,

I thought that system was the shit back in the day. We only had a handful of games for it including Pengo, Vanguard, and Ms Pac Man…

frunch ,

Based on this particular comment chain and your decision to come back and read the article, i decided to read it as well. Very engaging, indeed! Learned quite a bit, def worth the time. I even subscribed to Ed’s newsletter, lol

frunch ,

I still remember Florida having to scramble to get their migrant workers back after shitting on them repeatedly. Now that they have them back they can’t resist but to blast those poor workers with more of their dehumanizing legislation

frunch ,

I mean, why wouldn’t they? They’re furries after all ¯_(ツ)_/¯

frunch ,

Could you elaborate?

frunch ,

I think there’s a couple things at play:

  • You know enough to find a different app and make it do what you need it to. Not a hard thing, but something many non-tech savvy people could struggle with, or more likely–
  • People often will just use what’s there. We know we have options, we are aware of the privacy concerns… but many people simply aren’t and/or don’t care enough to do anything about it.

We spend a lot of time here, so it seems to us like second nature to avoid intrusive apps… I find in my day-to-day life not many people are talking about that kind of stuff, or don’t have much knowledge/experience in that realm. (I realize that is anecdotal).

I 100% agree with your statements–just trying to rationalize how so many people end up using/staying with these ever-worsening services/apps…

frunch ,

I’m beginning to wonder if it ever makes sense ¯_(ツ)_/¯

frunch ,

That seems to be the life-cycle of social forums online. The successful ones usually seem to have at least a slightly left-leaning user base, which inevitably attracts trolls/right-wingers/supremacists/etc. The trolls don’t have much fun talking to each other, as they are insufferable people to begin with. It seems like a natural progression for them to seek out people they disagree with, since they have nothing else/better to do. Gab and the like are just the “safe spaces” they constantly berate everyone else for having (which they hate extra hard since their bullshit isn’t accepted in those places)

frunch ,

Remember when they destroyed the launch pad because he had a “better” approach to its design? space.com/spacex-starship-damage-starbase-launch-…

frunch ,

I had one of their cassettes back in the day! If i recall correctly, the last track on the album was called “T Time”.

frunch ,

I also enjoy getting some cone crunch from the top half of the treat, that looks really good imo

I know this image is completely unrelated to the article, it’s just that i saw the words golden and axe in such close proximity…i wanted to leave that here in case others were thinking the same
