  • It is both saddening but also wholly unsurprising that the "Tylenol causes autism" is probably a big reason for this. Not just because it's baseless conspiracy slop; No, that would make too much sense. A big part of the divide is because the conspiracy slop enjoyers are upset that it isn't THEIR conspiracy slop that he's peddling. They're mad that he isn't saying this about vaccines first.

  • You and me both! Probably a lot of us for that matter. What makes it worse is that the mental image of Weird AL making a short video singing about magic beds kinda tracks for me. I was just wondering what Trump was sharing it for. I know that man isn't cool enough to have an appreciation for Weird AL

  • It should be added that, "Once a suspect requests a lawyer, police are generally required to stop questioning until an attorney is present. The Supreme Court case Edwards v. Arizona further strengthened this rule, holding that any attempt by law enforcement to continue questioning without an attorney present violates the suspect’s rights."

    Once you ask for a lawyer questioning is 'suppose' to stop. If you're still alone and they keep prying. That's only more cause for concern.

  • God. I know it's the pettiest and least on-topic thing about these photos but... That god-damn weird-ass Trump centaur stance... At all times. Always. Centaur stance. I hope it's physically painful for him to stand like that. I hope it hurts every day that he has to get up and walk.

  • We totally didn't do that! Valve and other merchants obviously kept receipts.

    I almost love how normalized flagrant lying has become in the corpo-political sphere. They've become so emboldened by just telling whatever unbelievable lie they want and expecting to get away with it. If it's not catastrophically illegal to do so, they just lie. I don't take anything not said under oath seriously anymore, and even then, I take it with a grain of salt.

  • As a joking/ not so joking reference to the title. I unironically hope that this new wave of censorship attracts the ire of the Furry community. I can just see thousands and thousands of IT workers spending their spare time and money on fighting this shit instead of spending it on their hobby. I can see the potentially unlimited power.

  • Just adopt a CCP style social credit system already. Why all of this pussyfooting around being a totalitarian, censorship focused, surveillance state? Just do it. Give the good people of UK a solid reason to be a little bit more French again.

  • It actually is the most hilarious of ironies that despite what very real harm Thor might have inflicted upon the early stages of the movement through misinformation/mischaracterization; The fact is, I don't think this movement would have come near to exploding the way that it has recently if not for the perfect Rube Goldberg machine of drama surrounding this man in the past 6 months.

    Seriously. He could not have Barbara Streisand effected the "Stop Killing Games" movement harder if he tried. It really is such poetic justice. It's a shame that I don't live in the EU or I would gladly sign the initiate myself. Here's to hoping that another EU regulation can have sweeping effects for the US. As a reluctant and very jaded US citizen myself, I harbor no illusions about any real and meaningful consumer protection regulations to ever make it over here. Mega-corpos have simply spent far too much money buying out every level of government, legislature, and regulatory bodies that exist.

    Europe really is like a strange beacon of hope for US consumers, as odd as that sounds. Fight the good fight for us as well, brothers.

  • Thank you for this clarification. This is an extremely important context. "Palestine Action" is the particular name of a very specific organization, so the title of the article is obviously a bit misleading.

    Still very worrying and more than a bit concerning, though. Here's to hoping for a future strengthening of UK speech laws. Though, frankly, I'm not so sure about US speech laws anymore. Cheers.

  • You see, there's the problem. Traveling to Europe to do these kinds of things is millionaire behavior. Shyiiit, dirty commoners could do that. Ya really gotta climb up there into the billionaire behavior department before you can start doing stuff like this and expecting to get away with it. Be a proper world-class scum bag, at least rent your own private island first. Sheesh. This is like psychopathic villainy 101 here. Unbelievable.

  • Okay, I feel like the part that people are skipping over is the "cooperating with authorities on legal data requests" part. No. As a privacy company; You DO NOT save and store ANY information apart from what is crucially and imminently necessary to run your service. Anything beyond that is a blatant conflict of interests and should not be trusted. Corruption and data sharing that CAN happen, WILL happen when it comes to data security based companies. Full stop.
