  • Key Witness Who Disputed ICE Account of Fatal Texas Shooting Dies in Car Accident

  • There's a reason that Putin throws people out of windows. He wants everyone to know that he killed those people, and he wants everyone to know that nobody is going to stop him.

    Trump and his fascist army wants you to know that they will murder witnesses, and nobody will stop them.

    Even if it was just a horrible coincidence, Trump is going to act like they killed him because he likes taking credit for things.

  • Judge blocks release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on Trump classified documents case

  • Yeah, these articles shouldn't say "a federal judge..." "Trump lackey Aileen Cannon has once again protected her masters."

    So, I was supposed to be a twin, but my twin was absorbed in the womb, which is known as "Vanishing Twin Syndrome", but i have a couple questions about this

  • The second fetus may have been terminally underdeveloped, and small enough to be delivered without realizing it was a second baby. They may have told her there was no second baby or that it was part of the afterbirth, or she may have misunderstood what they said.

    Doctors have been known to lie to patients in the past, but the practice is not very common anymore in most cultures.

  • Bezos return of investment for sucking up to Trump

  • Amazon is big because they have businesses that rely upon them for infrastructure. Retailers pay Amazon to sell their stuff. Enterprise clients pay Amazon to host their servers in the cloud. Governments pay Amazon to provide internet and host data. Amazon could lose every single global retail purchase on their website for a month and the effect on their net profits would be less than the amount rounded off of their balance sheets.

    The human mind cannot comprehend the amount of money the oligarchy controls, and the insignificance of the individual consumer. We are ants to people like Bezos. Annoying, maybe, but a nuisance to be dealt with. You don't ask the ants what they want. You ignore them until they get into your house, and then you eradicate them and set barriers to prevent them coming back.

    There are a lot of us, and we could be annoying to Jeff Bezos. But he is beyond economic retribution.

  • What's a large number of people? 10,000? 10,000,000? Amazon Prime has 180 million subscribers in the US alone, with a revenue of $44 billion dollars annually.

    That represents less than 7% of Amazon's annual revenue.

    You cannot fathom how massive Amazon is, and how small consumers are in comparison. By all means, stop shopping on Amazon. We all should, because we can. Just don't expect Bezos to give a shit.

  • Yeah, but my point is that even if you stop buying from Amazon, it's a drop in the ocean of profits.

  • What are you going to do, not shop at Amazon? Avoid AWS?

  • Modern parenting means apps for sports, school and more. Where is the data going?

    Jump

  • My kids get their assignments, turn them in, and receive their grades on four different apps, plus there's a version for the parents.

  • When I was young I thought the best WW2 movie was Saving Private Ryan. As I have aged I realized it was the The Thin Red Line all the time

    Jump

  • Best movie, or best WW2 movie? Which is a better representation of the war? The experiences of the soldiers? Which has better art direction and writing and acting? Which one is a better reflection of the current zeitgeist?

    I don't have answers, I just feel like "better" has a lot of dimensions.

    Jump

  • Where? Fuck you, that's where. You want your kid to be on time for their activities? Surrender all privacy, because what are you going to do? Keep your kid out of sports and clubs?

  • Plot twist, they were actually playing Warhammer 40k with the neighbors.

  • You clearly do not fully appreciate the concept here. I'm betting you drive a truck you don't use for work, or a German car but the base model.

  • "They dont have congress" get fucked. Do they not know how to speak, either?

    Jump

  • Democrats aren't doing much there, either. You're not wrong that the media ignores or actively attacks anything resembling leadership, because a progressive political agenda is a threat to their power structure. But there is still a dearth of leaders among the elected.

  • Seems to have worked then.

  • Trump illegally used executive power to impose global tariffs, supreme court rules

  • I think there wre both willing coconspirators and terrified bystanders unwilling to make a stand. The coconspirators belong in prison. I don't have hope for them. I do wish the rest will locate their nerve and become better people, but I doubt it will happen.

  • Time for Open Source Community EV's to Be Made. Anybody want to do something like that?

    Jump

  • That feels like something we could crowd-source. I don't need the space and tools to build two open source cars, but if we had ten people in the community that wanted them, it would make sense to rent the space and buy the tools.

  • Facebook is absolutely cooked

    Jump

  • On the contrary, I'd say it's a smashing success. First, the author was deeply engaged with Facebook to write the article. Second, everyone who saw this article and discussed the findings was engaged with Facebook even if they didn't have the app open. You and I are engaged with Facebook right now. And third, many many more people logged into their Facebook to test the findings either out of curiosity, to disprove the theory, or because they are horny goblins thirsting for smut.
