It wasn't since 2008, it was more or less since Reaganomics and the neoliberal push in the west around the same time. It's been the same shit ever since, and it's 100% bipartisan. In fact, the worst offender since Reagan was definitely Slick Willy Clinton, who killed Glass-Steagall and introduced the telecommunications act of 1996, allowing for consolidation of every media empire and telecom network, which severely limited broadcast journalism's investigative power. It's been nothing but mega mergers and 1% fuckery ever since. The last chance was Occupy, anyone else remember the lack of coverage? I was in Europe at the time and had to watch fucking RT to see anyone talking about it. They will never let that happen again.

What most of us need to remember, is that they never let it happen the first time around either.

It's a one day old account, and has basically only posted anti-trans content.

Consider it a troll until proven otherwise. Do we have user tags like RES on Lemmy yet?

That's probably because the EU generally isn't run by a two party system, where both parties are actually just center-right neoliberals. If you want EU style protections, you have to actually fight for it, like pretty much every European country did.

Ad everything needs to die. It should straight up become illegal to advertise anything other than for people who opt-in. If your product, movie or service is good, it'll get popular through word of mouth.

I would pay $20 per month for a curated list of subscriptions to various news sources. The key word here is curated. If I subscribe to a news site, I don't want to hear about celebrity gossip. If I subscribe to a new music page, I don't want to see Beyonce on it. If I sign up for arthouse movie news, I don't want to hear about Pixar.

We've completely removed the idea of curators because "gatekeeping" and now we are stuck with what amounts to a corporate payola funded by the biggest players in the game.

It seems that idiot manchildren run basically every company

This is the sorta shit that will likely be in the EUs sights soon. Installing applications nobody asked for because of the carrier? That sounds fucking insanely invasive. It's like Adidas installing a camera in your apartment because you bought a pair of sneakers.

I once worked for a company that switched to a subscription model. The entire thing was designed to be as difficult to cancel as possible, so that people would keep paying long after they stopped needing to use the service. The whole thing was fucking disgusting and I kept getting reprimanded for pointing out how insidious it was.

No, because their sales team and ceo are spending millions so that people don't find that out.

It doesn't even "know" language. Every time I see it write a poem it reads like something a 3rd grader would come up with. At the end of the day, language is way to explain your experience. An LLM doesn't have experiences.

Shhh... do you hear that?

It's the sound of posters coming to tell us "Well America does it too!!!1!!"

Remember how in every show that features a slave owner on a plantation, the gang of enforcers tend to be these redneck hillbilly types? That's the long term play.

It also seems like every gun in the show was a laser gun.

IIRC old school animation was only something like 16-20 fps. If you want to see really choppy animation check out the 60s Hulk cartoon. It's more like one of those motion comic books than a cartoon. Then there's always 60s Spider-Man which reused assets constantly, including outright pulling entire episodes from another show and sticking Spidey into them (with hilarious results).

Butt guzzler 9

Hell, the rest of the free world. If Russia had its way, you'd best believe China would be making its move against Taiwan.

I remember Tay

lol, okay there. Let's settle down and wipe the Doritos from your face, Chequito. This protest has very little to do with any sort of revolution, and even if it did, your next in line after Macron is currently Le Pen, who would simply make things even worse. So really, I don't think you understand what the fuck you're talking about.

Oh god! Keep her away from the base!
