Yeah, I'm not believing that version of events for a second.

It's swooping season

Over 18, but still young enough to not be predestined to become like the other billionaires I guess.

The media has been captured for decades. It's literally the thesis of 'Manufacturing Consent'.

Democrats always do this. They're always 'looking forward, not back', and that meant that Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr and Trump all got away with various crimes, and so did the minions that worked for all of them (like Roger Stone).

Democrats were falling under themselves saying 'in this country we don't prosecute our political opponents', followed through with that promise, and now Trump is prosecuting them.

Wow, so intimidating.

The stock market also isn't the economy. Stocks going up means nothing to most people.

After the attack, Balmer called 911, identified himself and confessed, allegedly telling the dispatcher that Shapiro "needs to know that he 'will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people.'"

Doubtful that he would be sympathetic to this type of domestic terrorism. Also not sure what the Governor of Pennsylvania has to do with Palestine.

Well yeah, that makes it business friendly. No corporation likes to be tied up in court for ages. Texas has just been trying to pass Delaware in a race to bottom of which state is the most business friendly (and thus anti-consumer, anti-environment, etc).

Tesla was incorporated in Delaware, like many other US corporations.

Obviously nothing changed physically, this is just a paperwork thing.

That's why he moved the companies to Texas from Delaware, because even though Delaware is ridiculously business friendly, they'll actually defend shareholders' rights there.

Were they anywhere close to being a monopoly? There's a bunch of other brands selling the same thing. Anyway, I'm actually looking at buying a NAS and I was already explicitly excluding them because of that BS. I'll probably end up building my own, there's some nice cases out there.

I used to run it for a while (it might actually still be running, I'd need to check my VPS and delete it if it is), but I feel like RSS readers kind of got overtaken by Reddit (and Lemmy). I tried going back to it again a few times, but the lack of comments felt off after having experienced Reddit.

Yeah, from what I've seen it looks great, it's just not a blockbuster or even trying to be one.

It doesn't matter, the supreme court hasn't cared about the actual facts in any of the cases they've ruled on in the last decade.

The case about that coach that was forcing his players to pray was distorted as well, just because they wanted a certain outcome (coach claimed it was done voluntary and in private, pictures show it was done in the middle of the pitch), same with the wedding website lady (the supposed gay couple involved had no idea about it and never actually contacted her, there's no evidence she actually builds websites).

It's useful in the sense that people vote on what they feel the facts are, not the actual facts. Crime statistics might be trending down, but if there's a ton of crime stories in the news people feel like crime is up. There's similar dynamics at play when it comes to inflation and other economic indicators.

Obamacare was the right wing plan. It's been a huge giveaway to the insurance industry, and in the end the US did get the death panels Sarah Palin talked about, except instead of government bureaucrats it's some AI run by an insurer that's accountable to nobody.

The democrats need to finally give Medicare for all a shot, as the current system has middlemen skimming profits off at every step without adding any value.

It's those radical left private equity firms!

Oh yeah, of course, but it feels like it's never part of the conversation, even among people whose opinions I respect and are, for example, super critical of AI and talking about enshittification and other issues in the online sphere, they never seem to take the step to check out Linux, or get off Twitter or whatever.

Yeah, very disappointed by RMS' creepiness (the Epstein stuff isn't the only thing), but he was 100% right about software freedom.
