Absolutely - the whole thing makes this celebrity look like they were brought in as window dressing.

Doubling down and blaming the "F1 representative" (as if the FIA shows up on race day wearing Alfa Romeo shirts) came off as insincere and just made me think they believed themselves to be too important for us watching on tv

I'm just seeing you agree in different words?

If government is the only one with the knowledge then it can never be proven to those who are properly skeptical

Yes I tried from the same instance - I was tired and forgot I could see the same community from an account on a different instance (ty for the reminder)

TIL Ukrainian lives are only a European concern

I personally think it is worth investigating these allegations

And you hit the nail on the head about why an elected representative won't say one way or the other unless it's objectively proven or shown to be false - anything else doesn't need a response. Further any rep who does claim the matter to have been solved, one way or the other, only opens themselves up to criticism for something they probably didn't get into politics for in the first place.

When scientists and experts (plural) start getting involved then it's interesting however, imo, your focus on government being the ultimate truth-finder is flawed

Same, tried on the web and two apps with the same result each time

Was curious about that dynamic - does the team hire a celebrity so they can get the team on socials or does the celebrity's PR team look for opportunities?

If the teams are reaching out then I guess you can't blame the celebrity for not wanting to look like an idiot (although my point still stands - don't show up). OTOH if the celebrity is reaching out then they should really do more consideration about what they are getting themselves into

Why did my mind automatically imagine the guy trying to find how to make farts edible

Think back to the moment you learned that copying was considered theft

Well copying is very broad.. Plagiarism's treatment as being both technically and morally wrong imo always makes sense. Plagiarism goes beyond copyright infringement though, since infringement only requires "use" of the material whereas plagiarism is passing it off as your own.

Is it the one that reminds you when your microphone is off when you say the key phrase?

Lemming learns the idea of a wifi "network" and that devices on that network communicate with each other

Easy solution - unless you want to actually be there, don't show up to events you have no business being at lol

Just do it! 💪

Remember to leave a review on the official reddit app regarding it's porno abilities - if there's anything google/iOS app stores love more than anything it's an abundance of apps dedicated to viewing porn

Confused - how does not pirating hurt the company more? Wouldn't it be the exact same outcome for the company (as when pirated) or is this kinda like when GoT was arguing their popularity is even bigger when you look at the number of people torrenting their episodes

But why are they inconveniencing people who wanted to watch a tennis match and not idk... oil execs?

They get as much sympathy from me as I gave the truckers who protested outside my apartment building in Ottawa trying to convince me covid isnt real as if I had any decision making power

Tl,dr: pick your battles

I may be misinformed - but I was led to believe this is a book shop and therefore unlikely to lose many customers

Whoever taught this can how to be a can failed miserably
