The Tates sell their “be a man” coaching package

As if he’d know how.

Of course misogyny played a role. A million factors played a role, but most of those she couldn’t control. How she campaigns is something she could control, and that’s something she fucked up.

I was so excited after she picked Tim Walz. It was starting to look like the most progressive ticket in decades, she was ahead in the polls, and then she turned around and started campaigning with Republicans and CEOs. Total betrayal.

And yeah, she disappeared. I hear more from Biden and Obama than from her.

That’s always been his strategy: keep repeating the lie until it becomes true.

Or is xAI paying for access to Telegram conversations to train Grok?

Over 60?! Can we please classify Friendica as over 50? I feel old enough as it is.

Same with people complaining that Star Wars or Star Trek is too woke or too liberal. When was it ever not?

People turn fascist only to discover that that’s exactly what all their favourite art always opposed.

That’s going to cost them votes in the long run, if their base can’t reproduce.

It’s worth remembering that there was a time when the highest US tax bracket was taxed at 90%, and that didn’t stop the US’s longest period of sustained economic growth.

Ridiculously high tax rates for ridiculously high incomes have been done before and are entirely feasible.

There are a few exceptions. JK Rowlings became a billionaire simply by writing some really popular books, and even stopped being a billionaire by giving much of her wealth away. As far as I can tell, she didn’t become an asshole until later.

I’m willing to say more positive things about him. His dedication to Linux is great of course, but I’ve also heard that people working for him get a lot of freedom to choose what to work on. And no crunch. In the games industry, that’s pretty good.

So yeah, he seems to me to be one of the better among the tech billionaires. But in the end, he’s still a billionaire, and he’s god that ridiculous fleet of super yachts.

There was a time the same was true for Elon Musk, before he suddenly decided to jump the queue. I really hope Gabe isn’t going down that path.

The parliaments don’t, and they don’t have the loyalty to the security apparatus that US Congress has.

Either way, this is a distinct and important difference between the US and the EU, and a frequent point of disagreement in treaties and discussions between the two. It’s silly to claim they’re the same on this.

Not “the EU”, but one particular group in the EU. This sort of thing pops up every couple of years, and unlike in the US, it always gets shot down. The current law says the exact opposite.

From what I remember, burgers were usually about 3500 isk, while fish and chips awas 5000 isk. I think that’s about €25 and €35. I’ve seen several restaurants with prices in that range, but I didn’t remember all the prices.

Yeah, the food isn’t bad at all, just not terribly varied. Except for their hot dogs; hot dogs with fried egg, vegan hot dogs with blue cheese, and a few dozen other variations.

“Those of us who”? Dude, you’re here encouraging apathy and arguing this is nothing special. You’re not fighting for anything, and now you want to pretend you’re the one fighting the good fight here?

I’ve been fighting for these issues for decades. Many have. You don’t see us arguing that “none of this is newsworthy”. It makes our news every single time.

You’re doing a poor job living up to that username of yours.

EU law prevents any government from accessing your email or other data, whereas the US demands easy access to your data. That’s what I’m referring to.

But I’ve also never heard of them blocking anyone’s email, and certainly not in retaliation for investigating war crimes.

I was in Iceland a few weeks ago, and hot dogs and burgers seemed to dominate the national cuisine. I expected more fish, but fish and chips was usually the most expensive item on the menu.

I am not the one forgetting that. You are forgetting that the EU is not the US, and EU law is the polar opposite of US law on this issue.
