So people on the internet can get mad that you didn’t vote how they wanted instead of getting mad at you for not voting.

That’s great. Nothing has changed about Facebook so nothing is stopping them from banning it now for the same reason as TikTok. The only reason they wouldn’t is if they had a motivation that had nothing to do with protecting elections from foreign influence.
Foresight? We’re talking about the present and the recent past dude are you okay or do you just argue in weird slogans?
I am for severely restricting the ability for all corporations to gather and sell user data. You think I’m making a whattaboutism or whatever debate buzzword you want to conjure up; what I’m taking issue with is the argument that the reason they’re getting banned has anything to do with that data collection or “national security”. If that had any truth to it, Facebook would have gotten the same treatment, or at the very least would be in the conversation now since they do the same exact shit. If this was about data collection they would pass regulations about that instead of targeting one specific site to unilaterally ban.
Their justification for banning Tiktok is that it allows the Chinese government to collect on their platform. It’s the same fucking thing.
Did occurring in 2015 happen to make it less bad somehow? We sure as hell weren’t passing laws to ban facebook back then either, so I’m not sure what point you think you’ve made.
Facebook sold personal data to a foreign organization called Cambridge Analytica who used it to influence our elections. If their motivations are to protect us via protecting themselves, why is Facebook not banned, and not even in the discussion of being banned?
Well they also love bullying the homeless; gets the cops something to do that isn’t murdering people over petty crimes and racism. Doesn’t get the public as riled up either, since most are already well practiced in ignoring the unhoused.
If they want people to keep shopping there and providing the income necessary to maintain that charitable work, they should probably try to maintain the perception that they price things cheaply enough to make it worth digging through racks of second hand goods.
Through various stages of my life I have used torrents, streaming, Usenet, Napster, limewire, aol/IRC chat rooms, discord, and even google searches. You must adapt to whatever works.
As funny as it is to picture in your head I don’t think it’s appropriate to wear a costume and do a funny bit when you may be deciding if someone gets to keep their children or lose their house. The other person involved sounds like an uptight liar, but I i think maybe all of these people kinda suck.
Remember when they at least made transparently bullshit excuses about human shields and terror tunnels when they did their war crimes? I wonder when exactly they worked out they didn’t have to bother anymore.
That definitely is the line we hear from CEOs when they raise prices, cut labor costs, and over monetize. Do you have any proof that production costs for games have gone up more than any other industry has? They pretty famously don’t pay game developers very well compared to other programming positions so I don’t know where this inordinate cost inflation would be coming from.
I feel like “capitalists aren’t left wing” is a lesson people keep having to relearn.
If there were any chance of these being a real product ever, you could probably make a fortune being the first robot pimp.
An Obama-shaped shadow looming in their garden would do the same. Training these people that these actions have no consequences is far more dangerous than listening to them whine about the government, which they were going to do anyway.
People will still fall for it by treating it like a demonstration of what Elon wants to make, and just an early prototype. The abilities these “robots” displayed are on par with technology that has been available for over 20 years. They don’t realize the parts missing, filled in by human intervention, are the most difficult parts to create and literally cannot be done without a major, generational breakthrough in AI.
Yeah, it was a guy they had come out on stage and do a dance in a morph suit and a helmet.
They’ll mobilize the national guard for college campus protests but we have armed militias preventing domestic government aid and not a single boot on the ground or dissident hauled away. Pathetic.
He didn’t spend all that time vetoing progressive policies and harassing the homeless to sit on the sidelines while someone else runs against Trump’s third term.
