  1. One of the worst things about the trump presidency was the insistence by trump's band of useful idiots that it was unreasonable to call trump a liar, and the constant calls to meet in the middle between truth and lies. It always got especially bad during any period of civil unrest
  2. That's a shitty and misleading name for a feature then. It should be actioned by the FTC because people are buying Tesla's thinking they can do autopilot, like the name would suggest. And further, you're continuing to not address that your $10,000 paid beta software is just as poor at unsupervised driving as the current "norm"
  3. Chinese financial markets are already stretched pretty damn thin with the ongoing default of Evergrande. Sanctions could be the thing that breaks the dam for em
  4. Elon Musk – Dead at 52 – Says There Is No Need for Misinformation Laws Billionaire Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not. The Tesla and X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose while watching animal porn, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform. Police revealed that Musk, who says it is up to the public to decide what was true or not, had been fighting incest charges at the time of his death. His funeral is next week. ____ This is an updated version of the article: Mark Zuckerberg – Dead at 36 – Says Social Media Sites Should Not Fact Check Posts
  5. It really is fucking weird that all you know is culture war framing for literally everything in life. Why would people want to do business with someone who welcomes no-shit nazis onto his privately owned platform?
  6. Something tells me there's a difference in those benefits depending on your pay scale. I do pretty good in bigtech but I only get 6 weeks paternity (in like, a week, holy shit holy shit!) and that's pretty standard. None of the other benefits you mention though, that would all just be insurance premiums for me.
  7. trumpco is doing all this to throw sand in the gears and delaydelaydelay. Of course trumpco could have handled this outside of court, but then it would have been neat and tidy and expedient and completely counterproductive to their desired outcomes.
  8. I don't think it's as binary as you're framing it. It's that there's more uncertainty and risk in having a child now than ever, and costs are higher than ever with median pay remaining almost stagnant. Even if it's not as much of an impediment to career growth now, having a child is still a massive burden that with little to no safety net, many couples don't feel they have the breathing room or time to responsibly have kids. So you get fewer kids, born later in the parents life
  9. I'd bet the Georgia prosecutors took note of that admission by trump's attorneys. It's not a question if trump was trying to influence the Georgia election, he thought he was just doing a democracy! That's more of a Managed Democracy thing, and we're not quite yet to Super Earth
  10. I'd say the European business culture is way more comfortable with people just going missing for a month or two at a time. Those fuckers do it every year for vacation, so absorbing an extra period of leave for a newborn is not that much extra load. Here in the States, we are 100% grindcore all the time for the shareholder and nobody takes vacation, so being gone for six weeks is a major disruption to the cultural norm.
  11. For anyone else tracking the Trek timeline's weird synchrony with our own, the conditions for the Bell Riots are really starting to ripen right on schedule for a big homeless crisis and riot in Sept 2024 https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/04/supreme-court-to-hear-case-on-criminal-penalties-for-homelessness/
  12. Didn't he leverage himself to the tits on TSLA to buy TWTR? When's his margin call gonna come in?
  13. Historically speaking, fascists really do their best work while in a comfortable jail cell surrounded by their friends. Sounds like a great fucking idea.
