Um, subreddits remain because they still have subscribers. That’s all.

Right. And the fines will continue, lol.

Not these days. In contemporary Japan at many companies, expecting employees to go for drinks with the boss is a kind of specifically noted harassment.

That’s true, but they got fined for their violations which they want to continue, and future fines are likely.

I love how the grand statement is made, but the conclusion was already true. In reality the Chinese government was ready for the tariffs, and they didn’t panic, and that’s true for most countries around the world.

Why didn’t they panic? Because the US era of global economic dominance has ended. Other countries working together are more than capable of sustaining a stable global economy. They all know it. Everyone knows it except for some small percent of the American public who wants to hold on to American exceptionalism as long as possible.

And this is a good thing. It should not be the case for the globe that the US controls everything. It’s just a bad idea in general, and it’s certainly a bad idea under Trump.

The problem is not the actions. The problem is your mentality. If you’re trying to train a human being, that sounds pretty f****** terrible. On the other hand, if you’re trying to support for and care for them, it doesn’t sound terrible.

Based on the wording, it sounds like the former, but perhaps you’re just trying to make your post dramatic for the internet and the actual situation is more like the latter. We don’t know, but you do, so act accordingly.

I didn’t see it, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Jeffries is trying really hard not to understand how bad he is. In the article he’s quoted as saying something like it’s because of Trump’s policies that people are getting turned off. How intentionally oblivious is that. Everyone knows that it’s hard to stop Trump when you’re in the minority, everyone sympathizes with that. But everyone also knows you have a duty to try really hard, and you didn’t try at all, and that’s your fault. It’s time for you to retire.

I don’t really care about the hypocrisy. I care about the damage that they do to others and to their children and to their families.

That being said, it is valuable to point out hypocrisy whenever it happens so that people have the information they need to potentially adjust their s***** political views and so that younger people can develop their own political views based on accurate information and analysis.

Oh, I think Tesla is scared to try. They know that their cars won’t work. They know that it will be a living and dying disaster, and everyone will be posting videos on TikTok. The reason they haven’t seriously tried to create such a city is because they’re trying to ride the AI hype, not because they actually think it’s a good idea to implement.

Even when they had the slogan, it was, don’t be evil. That’s a very low bar, because it’s relative to other tech companies. As long as they were less evil than Microsoft, they could pat themselves on the back.

If the goal were actually not to do evil, they would have to look at each individual action and consider whether it’s ethical. That’s something they have never done and of course they’re not going to start doing it in the future.

Many Ohioan voters wanted to change the law to get rid of qualified immunity. So they crafted proposals, and eight different times, the attorney general ruled that their proposed law was technically disqualified and couldn’t be considered at all. After each of those times, the authors went back and changed the wording to try to make it fit what the attorney general said. But he kept ruling against them, no matter what they did, so they had to file a lawsuit arguing that he was disqualifying the proposals because he didn’t like the idea, and not because the proposals were technically deficient.

The attorney general lost, they won, so now they can move forward in the lawmaking process.

The attorney general loved qualified immunity, he did not want to see it disappear, and he worked very hard to protect it. Now that he lost, there is reasonable chance that qualified immunity in Ohio will be taken away, as we have seen in several other states in recent years.

What plus? I’m not seeing one. Every system has weak points, my friend. Exploiting them doesn’t make life better. It’s not like we didn’t know…

Ignoring people with power does not negate their power. Don’t confuse powerless online trolls with powerful societal figures. Please, please don’t.

The system was already rigged, of course. Electoral college, absentee cancelations, felons disqualified. It was broken before so even if things stayed the same (which they won’t) it’ll still be broken.

I do expect elections to continue. Just much less honestly.

Not really though. He’s lying about leaving, of course.

I think it’s worse than that. I think it’s a combination of intentional ignorance and plain old bigotry.

Of course a lot of this is intentionally stirred up by very rich people who would love for the proles to be fighting against each other. This is particularly obvious if you consider the paranoia about transgender folks in US college sports. The actual number of athletes in question is incredibly small and in no way disruptive to anything, but if you watch Fox News you’d think there’s some massive threat to the stability of these sporting organizations.

We all know Musk is lying. He doesn’t plan on leaving. There’s too much power.

What’s kind of amazing is that so many articles don’t point this out in the title or the first sentence. I really wonder why. When you know the person is a liar and they are in a situation like this, with a strong motive to lie, why in heck would you not make that the subject line?

Or, if you want to be polite about it, you could write a headline that says something like “Musk supposedly considering retiring, but actions speak louder than words”.

Exactly. There’s no way he would leave, there’s too much power.

Of course copying is not stealing, but everything else.
