Not sure why; being publicly traded and their valuation because of it is the only thing keeping them solvent.

Hey on the plus side a bunch of stupid fucks that think COVID is a joke or hoax will die, so win for intelligence, I guess?

Hopefully humankind as a whole survives their stupidity also.

Yes. I’d rather listen to whatever that mic is recording than Tubthumping.

They might be, but I still maintain that that song is horrible.

I don’t have the ability now, but I will take the time later today to listen to this linked song and reply to you with my thoughts. Thanks for sharing, regardless.

EDIT: Had a chance to listen to this one. Very cool! Has like a They Might Be Giants mixed with a folk tune vibe. And it’s always a good time to get in a history lesson. I liked it! This song is like the antithesis of Tubthumping. Wild it’s the same band.

Is he trying to mirror the Iraqi Information Minister, or is it just a completely normal everyday coincidence?

It’s alright, the states have it figured out and have budgeted for natural disaster relief. Surely they’re ready to show the country just how much more efficient they can be without FEMA and other federal assistance.

Just an FYI for those of us that have been refreshing the page far more than is necessary and/or looking to set up a league.

Really annoyed they waited until the last minute to begin the new year.

What a jackass.

I hope his kids have a great holiday. Good on them for standing up for their beliefs.

Private event, their rules. Fuck off Paxton. This “good guy with a gun” stuff is bullshit and everyone knows it, but by all means puff out the chest and bluster for the idiots in your constituency.

GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety by hydrashok in c/technology@lemmy.world

I’m ditching ever considering them for a vehicle purchase for my own sanity.

Fucking OEM infotainment systems are bullshit and I will never buy a car ever again that doesn’t support CarPlay and Android Auto.
