Who’d guess the cia deputy director would raise such a gullible piece of shit

I got served an unironically white nationalist 4chan post and apparently posting “kys” in a comment is, regardless of any context, justification to admin ban me from an entire instance/multiple communities with no notification.

I only found out bc I messaged a mod I recognized in a sub I was banned from and they said it wasn’t a mod action it was instance admins or something and there was nothing they could do

I get it but also like nobody forced you to trawl my comments in other instances and block me pre-emptively for not following your rules. I also should 100% be told about an action like this regardless of how flimsy their justification is.

I shouldn’t have to figure it out myself and then go find out how to contact the admins of an instance I’m not even on. All that effort just to argue a case about how they took my shitty comment out of context.

(All this on the instance that hosts the community about .ml mods unilaterally banning people for saying mean things they don’t like.)

Godspeed to you, you beautiful soul.

Right, like, corruption is there, sure. But the corruption in and of itself has no impact on the viability of the public service. The fact that it is privately owned and for profit by definition will mean that the money allocated for the service originally will be redirected into being profit instead. What happens to a service that now has less funding? It turns to shit.

Can public services have corruption? Sure.

The difference being: corruption of a service in which 99% of funding is directed towards providing the service takes less away than corruption of a service with half of the funding being allocated as “profits” before even getting to the “corruption” in the equation.

You’re basically multiplying the effectiveness of corruption by giving the responsibility to capitalists who will, first and foremost, create profits out of a publicly funded service.

VAT pays for public Healthcare in real countries

For Americans it’s either generic or “store brand” which usually has its own name i.e. “Great value” for Walmart

Right about now is precisely when I wish I had my handy copy of the libertarian dream pasta

Shitjust works scrapes every comment on every instance and bans people without notice for anything they don’t like so there’s that to keep in mind too apparently

I like that the article is just the headline

My best friend last week was stuck in line at the wing shop behind a woman who ordered 60 chicken wings. They gave her the total and she pulled up klarna on her phone. He says it popped up “approved for payment, installments begin 4/23”

For WINGS. A payment plan, for dinner. It’s already over.

Right what are we talking about

Thank you for this. I’m not sure how it became common knowledge to assume pharma companies pay for r&d but I’ve seen 10 different people on this app say those exact words and it’s really starting to peeve me off.

Last thing I’d do is give anyone a way to do my work without me present

I get to never exist AND racism is ended? Count me in

We already had lightning defenses in cities they’re called lightning rods and they were invented in like 1870

Just remind people that there were months of peaceful protests that went unheard when they start complaining about public disruptions

Hilarious to imagine corporations respecting the sanctity of “conflict of interest” in hiring govt employees, especially in 2025. Think of the optics!

Insane to go to this protest and still support Israel. Make those people feel ashamed. If anyone should be made to feel unwelcome it’s the zionists cheering on genocide abroad while trying to claim they stand for anyone’s rights here.

“Bring them home” what a hilariously cruel and detatched thing to scream at the Palestinian protestors showing up against the united states illegally kidnapping Palestine supporters.

Also, the idf killed all those hostages. Fucking disgusting genocidal freaks.

Nice I didn’t think anyone would be doing this for f1, time to cancel f1tv
