  • It's the same logic that leads to millions of people (re)building in flood plains. Short term thinking, poor regulations, and a head-in-the-sand attitude enables developers to make good money selling these properties, despite the risk to residents. And once people have moved in, they aren't going to move out without a fight. Plus, there is no appetite in government circles to relocate people out of these high risk areas. Where would they go? Who would pay for it? It's too hard (apparently) for a hyper-capitalist government to properly deal with such vexing questions.

  • as a proservative if you WERE a fruit and im not saying you are but if you DEFINITELY WERE could you stop yourself from rotting because that would be another benefit of being proservative if it was true

  • "You remember that llm we spend billions of dollars on, that nobody asked for? Well we're done half baking it into all our apps and now we're almost doubling our prices to help pay for it all."

    The logic of the utterly deranged...

  • Who was power tripping in this example?

  • If this post was about Flying Squid banning you then I'd get the relevance to this community. Otherwise it's just drama imo.

  • I'm not a debrid guy myself. But glad it's still working ok for you.

  • Are you saying they didn't follow through (yet) with what they stated they would back in November?

  • Lemmy's tankies only really endorse one form of communism - Stalinism. PTB for sure.

  • One doesn't preclude the other(s), that's for sure.

    I've include the content here, to save you the click (credit to @Optional@lemmy.world :

    Okay so I sludged through all the links and comments and I think I have it now:

    • Barbara and David Mikkelson started Snopes. They got divorced, she sold her half to RIchmond and Schoentrup.
    • They had met because Richmond started an ad company, their first client was Snopes.
    • After Barbara sold, David claimed they only got 40% not 50% of the shares which meant everyone spent money and time on lawyers, which everyone loves doing.
    • Around this time, Richmond sold his ad company. He sold it to Sovrn, who - if they did own Snopes it would totally suck, but they don’t. Richmond held on to Snopes.
    • In 2022, Richmond and Mikkelson finally agreed to a buyout where Mikkelson would take more of their money and then GTFO. Which he did.

    So no, Richmond (and his ‘business partner Schoentrup’ - I suppose just a financial backer? it’s not clear.) runs Snopes by hisself. No ad company involved.

    I mean, you could argue that someone who started an ad company at all, in the first place, should be pelted with rocks and garbage, but even then he sold it before fully acquiring all of Snopes. Presumably, they were also keenly aware that running Snopes and an ad company would not be a good look.

    I think that’s it.

    So in truth, Snopes is now run by Richmond, who sold his ad business prior to taking over Snopes. Yes, he used to own an ad company, which isn't a great look, but considering he divested from the ad business before taking control of Snopes that was at least a step in the right direction.

  • Unless there's a rule against "bad" satire (which is very subjective), then it probably shouldn't be treated any differently than "good" satire.

  • noticed you are also fighting back against woke grammar and punctuation by using stream of consciousness which the illuminati can't control

    i'm also looking forward to the chapter on "and several more evil principles we dont even know about probably" since i'd like to know about them probably
