  • 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?












  • 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’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?
