Wow a terrorist government that hasn't held a free and fair election in almost 2 decades (or possibly ever) is shirking all responsibility for their people. Color me shocked.

We could tell this from their actions. Didn't need the plans to see their plan.

Yeah dude military personnel use maps during operations. Also these terrorists did actually attack and kill civilians. It was transparently their goal and they did it proudly.

Sorry not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes authoritarian and antisemitic government leaders commit wanton acts of terrorism to incite extreme violence against their own people. Crazy world we live in. Do try to get better.

Your inability to understand this situation explains why you're so angry about nonsense and unable to identify the politics of this meme.

The alternative is to do the action of not shopping at Amazon and then over time you'll learn how to shop without it.

You don't need to stop 100% immediately either but can wean yourself off of it.

I've not shopped on Amazon for like 5 years now. I just buy a lot less crap to be honest.

No. The Texas legislature meets in January of odd numbered years. They can call special sessions but they can't make a worse law as it'll be equally unenforceable and if they did there'd be lawsuits to get injunctions to stop the count until it's resolved.

There's likely to be appeals of this ruling though.

Anyways try to be more positive. This is a win.

This is social media, not a court of law. My standard of determination on where my money goes and what content I watch doesn't need to be beyond a reasonable doubt.

R has a 2,200 lb carrying capacity. It can haul or tow almost anything a regular person needs to 99% of the time.

These little trucks also build and supply massive countries across the world. It's preposterous to think you need 4,000lbs of carrying capacity day in and day out. You absolutely do not.

Unless I missed something Elton John testified at trial as a defense witness. Like fuck Spacey but this is a nothingburger. Giving testimony under oath in a trial is a basic part of how our justice system works.

It seems like a lot of posts got deleted and now it looks pretty inactive. What happened?

It's okay to discuss men's issues without needing to whatabout them. Women's issues are also valid. This isn't a competition it's about media creating body dysmorphia in people.

That's it. It's just the fastest springboard this garbage company had to get yet another social media platform out the door when they sensed blood in the water.

Edit: This is a response to people who think FB users will somehow discover the fediverse and be converted by this action. They won't.

Or that FB has noble goals in choosing AP or will somehow be forced to be better. They won't.

It's just good software.

How is sending user data to Microsoft's ad tracking service FUD? That's exactly what privacy preserving browsers are supposed to stop.

  • No server operator needs to federate with you.
  • No server operator needs to tolerate things they don't want on their instance.
  • No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don't want to see.

Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.

Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers' posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.
