I don’t know, the only thing stopping me from getting 150 billion is the threat of having to pay an 800 million fine on it.
If it weren’t for that

I was going to say, it’s starting to sound more like the EU is just taking kickbacks in a circuitous legal manner rather than via a shady under the table deal with men and trench coats exchanging packages of unmarked bills.
I mean, in the last 5 months how many times has the EU fined meta or google?
If you really want to make a message that sticks, you ban the danger sites from operating in your collective and then fine them for their past misdeeds.
If you want to be seen as lenient, you then set down a list of objectives that the site must adhere to in order to be reinstated in the collective.
Anything short of that is just lining your pockets. I mean, what is the money being used for?
This is more like a parfait because everybody likes parfait
Remember, the rule is “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish”.
Threads is doing this. Kicking them to the curb regardless of the cost is the only solution.
I guess it’s a quality versus quantity thing. It’s a lot easier for 4 billion people to coexist happily than it is for 8 billion people in the same space.
Our food air and water quality have all dropped dramatically over the last 50 years even though the protections for them have increased.
If half the population did not reproduce then those of us that have grandkids might live in a better world.
And yet, can anyone off the top of their head tell me who it was that originally said that?
Did your mom name you Lee Harvey oswald?
Did your mom, aka Mrs Oswald, not know that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK, or was she like really proud of that fact and wanted to carry on his legacy?
Did she legally change her last name to Oswald just so she could name you Lee Harvey Oswald?
Or are you like a Jr and your dad is Lee Harvey Oswald Sr?
Did your mom bully your dad into changing his name to Lee Harvey Oswald?
What is there to be positive about?
I used it for a while. It honestly was a really good browser for a long time but since everything started going this shit it quickly fell from my good graces.
The only time I even think of missing it is when I have to open a page that is optimized against Firefox on purpose because the developers decided to use some janky Javascript plugin and didn’t test.
I fully expect an incessant torrent of smug assholes on every corner of social media I go to alongside a never-ending stream of horror stories of all the shitty things that people are doing to other people.
Yeah I’m 6’1 but I’m native American so I don’t think I will fit into their thing cuz they tend to prefer white guys
I’m definitely a jack of all trades, but I have a bachelor’s in IT and like 10 years of work experience.
I feel like the competition is pretty high for people in that category though, but I could probably handle a couple hours a week of berry picking and English teaching.
Yeah, now it’s entirely reasonable to drop a human being from your friend pool for the rest of your life because of which person they voted for.
If I find out somebody has voted for Trump they are now persona non grata to me.
And before you say I shouldn’t let politics rule my friendships, my dad is dead because of how Trump bungled the covid pandemic response, so any person who has voted for that person has said that my dad dying is less important to them than that guy being given the highest office in the land.
I cannot think of a graver insult, and it is one that cannot be apologized for short of bringing my father back to life.
So if you voted for Trump, fuck you.
I guess my only question is, if I sell everything and liquidate all of my assets I would probably have like 30 grand, maybe more maybe less.
How long is that going to last me while I’m wandering, and what options are there to keep money rolling in?
I’m seriously tempted to sell all my stuff and just become a nomad.
Sounds pretty dreamy all in all.
There’s the line about the beast that was wounded unto death and yet lived that seems vaguely apropos
13:3:
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
I’m just going to keep riding this horse until it fucking dies but the very first thing he did was take everything Obama did during his presidency and throw it out the window, including the pandemic playbook.
That playbook would have given us step by step instructions and reactions to deal with any type of suddenly erupting national pandemic like Ebola or coronavirus.
And because of this, which was by all measures a racially motivated attack on Obama, more than 1 million Americans died in a badly managed pandemic.
Trump’s racism killed a million Americans.
It undoubtedly exacerbated the problem for the entire world and his total kill count is likely much more than that.
How can you let somebody who genocided millions of people through racism sit in the oval office?
It’s an interesting formula. Exponential and logarithmic I think?
I’m not a super great at math terms person
