  • No, you could not be more wrong. We did not leave reddit just for the admins, we also hoped to leave low effort posts and outright lies behind, there's no karma here so what's even the point of OP?

  • Seeing as teething babies cry a lot, I wonder how painful this process will be.

  • Great grandparents. Millenials are their parents, Gen X are their grandparents, Baby Boomers are their Great grandparents. If you're too stupid to get the generations right you're probably too stupid to get the rest of the facts of the "journalism" right.

  • It has always been the case that way more people talk about Twitter than use it. From the start it has been a media darling with a underwhelming user base, and an even lower participation rate.

    The thing that gave it value was the amount of celebrity presence. And as long as celebrities are on it it will be relevant, no matter what Muskie does to cripple it. As soon as there's a new platform with a growing celebrity presence people will flock there and twitx will die off slowly.

  • Sadly there was a pretty short grace period to do so. It should have indeed been automatic.

  • I think this is more of a case like Louie C.K

    You tell me you say that the guy who literally waited for women in their dressingroom naked and started to masterbute as they walked in was just "lacking the ability to really clue in on social cues".

    I don't know anymore with these apologists like you. Are you trolling or really this misguided?

  • We are specifically trying to be better than europe

    were perhaps. If we're being generous. But "are" has not applied in decades, and most definitely not this millenium.

  • The case — which dates back over five years to the time when Scholz was still mayor of the Hamburg city-state — is linked to the broader so-called “Cum Ex” affair, under which the German state was defrauded by over €30 billion as some banks, companies, or individuals claimed tax reimbursements from authorities for alleged costs that never occurred. The scandal already hung over the Social Democratic politician's election campaign in 2021 but had little impact in the end as Scholz's potential involvement remained unclear. Now it is heating up again after new details emerged that put his previous defense in question.

    ‘Cum-Ex’ is Latin - and it means ‘with without’. In essence, it’s a massive stock trading scam by bankers, brokers, hedge funds, international tax firms, investment companies, lawyers and insurance companies. By acting as promoters to help their clients get a refund for a tax they never actually paid for, they have defrauded EU member states by billions of euros. This rapid trading of shares with (cum) and without (ex) dividend rights thus gave rise to the scandal of the same name.

  • My Fantasy and SF book lovers goup on Facebook has more posts per day than I can read and gets new members every day. My music groups on Facebook have even more posts and content. Linkedin has more and more social posts (not a good thing, but hardly on the decline)

    Article is clearly written by someone with no initiatve or personality or insight.

  • Apart from the whole dictator thing, they had the presedential power for 4 years and managed to lock up exactly nobody.... Not saying they're not dangerous but why would their base believe them this time, action should really speak louder than words with those simpletons and Trump has been all words.

  • Of course they do. It's a common and effective propaganda instrument to lessen the effectiveness of the word so people take it less seriously when it's used in the correct context. By underestimating their intelligence and cunning you are actually playing right into their hands.

  • In other news, sky still blue...for now.

  • anesthesiologist

    There you have it, qualified medical professionals refuse (and are not allowed to anyway because of the oath) to participate in executions. So the people administring whatever concoction is made are not medically trained nor usually even particularily knowledgable on the subject. And yes, this has caused a series of botched executions, to the extent that the most bloodthirsty states are looking at smimpler ways to execute. Hence this aricle.

  • Well, in Alabama and in in some states (cough, Texas) they probably are I'm afraid.

  • They are definately not fair. But fair is not an economic or political quantifyable term. Slavery wasn't fair either.

    What is just or not changes with times and societies. If there is political capital to be made by making reparations then they make sense. If the public disagrees they can and will vote out those responsible. For better or for worse that's our system.

    But I personally do not feel there's such a thing as Sins of the Fathers. I have nothing to do with the slavers of 300 years ago, the whole concept of owning a human being is repugnant to me. And I genuinly feel that should be enough.

  • Senses to support your sight when driving? Hearing and Balance come to mind, in that order of importance as supporting senses.
