Good to see the things this admin doesn’t consider “waste fraud and abuse”

Honestly there’s an abundance of private messengers, of which Session is definitely not at the top.

Yes, that was my entire point.

You can’t though. That was my entire point.

Well that’s exactly my point.

Honestly I would probably pay for it and be happy but Premium doesn’t solve many of the problems that still exist:

• being shown the same content over and over
• Dislikes hidden
• in-video ads
• Shorts absolutely crammed down your throat everywhere
• broken search results
• AI-generated slop absolutely everywhere
• crypto spam
• Google-connected account using view history to spy on you

etc. etc. All problems Google could solve easily but simply won’t.

any claims linking the two “need to end today”.

I agree. Ask your despicable human of a husband to release the remaining files and unredact his name from the rest.

The administration claims the accounts are engaged in doxing and endanger officer safety

Yeah, doxing isn’t a crime, and while many times it can be characterized as a “dick move”, I don’t think that really applies to identifying public servants that shouldn’t be masked in the first place, and are actively engaging in oppression and unregulated violence.

Uhhhh I mean yes and no?

Solar and wind generation have long since surpassed oil, coal and gas in terms of cost-effectiveness.

That being said, it adds a lot of cost in other places. In my personal experience, it adds mountains of cost in commercial diesel vehicles. in 2007 they added a bunch of emissions regulations which required significant investment in aftertreatment systems. These systems cost a fortune in R&D. They also add to upfront cost, and significantly reduce reliability of the vehicles (probably the largest expense of them all). Of course, all of this can be eliminated by going electric, which is totally viable in many cases. Why we haven’t already transitioned, I can’t explain.

It costs more to properly dispose of waste. Electronics had “energy efficient” settings added, which significantly impairs performance and other experience. And honestly saves a laughable amount of energy in comparison to things like inefficient HVAC systems and just consumerism in general.

Yeah but they’re not really people

This is a good thing for everyone 👏

Yeah, you don’t want starter packs, you want the threadiverse (obvi). These are individually curated by the community and irrelevant topics are downvoted and/or (hopefully) removed.

Surf just released the web-based version too.

I would love a decentralized p2p social network but no media is an instant dealbreaker.

I can’t agree but I also don’t have a better explanation. I think he’s just a deranged individual and trying to explain anything that he does or says is a fruitless endeavour.

I have no idea what your point is.

It is not emotional appeal, it’s recognition of reality that underpins the framework of a government. Things that might be totally acceptable under an Obama administration aren’t suddenly disappeared when a Trump inevitably enters office. And you have to account for that when creating new legislation.

The founder of the US didn’t have any intention of infringing rights when they created the Bill of Rights. It was written with the explicit knowledge that somewhere down the line a tyrant would enter office and desire to trample basic human rights.

What?!? Not really.

Of course it is? Saying otherwise is just ignorance of history.

But in my lifetime there has never been a realistic chance of a draft being called, so any objection has been mostly symbolic.

It is not even remotely symbolic. A draft is a very realistic possibility, and the fact that it even exists should be evidence enough. The last draft wasn’t even that long ago. President Bone Spur dodged it.

Why does any of that matter?

There’s always a tyrannical leader on the horizon, best not to have a draft at all, but that’s not what we’re discussing.

Why’s that? You’re legally required to register either way, this just takes out the completely pointless process of completing the forms.
