For dictatorships yes it is. For the rest of us maybe not. Something needs to change in how we allow companies to manipulate us and all for profit. See Myanmar

On a separate note I think the social media giants are the ones we need to block. Specifically Facebook and any others that use algorithms to feed tailored posts to you. These companies shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind free speech protections. Their “speech” is processed and tailored to audiences for corporate profit.

Apps make money from you staying on their apps and interacting. It can be through comments, clicks or simple by pausing to look at posts. Adds are either fed to you or you become the material for adds through data scraping.

The longer you spend on the app the more revenue is generated. Therefore it f they can send you tailored media to engage you more you’ll stay. The longer you stay the more adds you see. However things aren’t as simple as they used to be. Some advertisers aren’t selling consumer products, they’re selling ideas, political parties and options. Their methods are becoming highly organized and they use a lot of psychology to do it. I believe it’s Stanford who offers a masters program for app design along these lines. Netflix did a documentary on it.

Algorithms seem to have no morals, they’ll feed you anything to keep you engaged or increase your engagement. There are class action lawsuits against Facebook over promoting genocide. All for clicks.

These companies shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind free speech protections. Their “speech” is processed and tailored to audiences for corporate profit. If it’s wrong to yell fire in a crowded theatre then how is it allowed to push hate speech using advanced psychological tools designed to sell these ideas to us.

I know people will cry “free speech” but this is t a bad idea.

We all know Russia china and North Korea run propaganda campaigns on the west. Maybe a west (EU Canada UK) only firewall would work. Maybe block the US and some of their shit

So the cut to funding will mean what to the extra people that show up each day.

First 2500 get decent care and the rest get a blanket and a square on the floor. Or it will mean less for everyone incase more show up later

What’s 50 significant for

In the same analogy you punch them until they stop fighting. Stay down. What ever the definition is for you’ve won and they give up.

Problem here is the weaker side wants to genocide the other. So no matter when they stop the fight will still go on.

Irony is Israel was formed due to genocide against them. Whole situation is a centuries old religious mess.

That link lists the first foods for pollinators. Lots of things on that list which surprised me. We’re replanting our yard with native plants this year. If you like birds and wildlife this is the best way to attract them.

I also learned this year dandelions aren’t native to North America.

I agree with you on your two points.

I wonder if the gorilla would be crippling the lions limbs by sheer brute force. Throwing, yanking them out of sockets, twisting and squeezing them. The lion would fight like any house cat. And the gorilla would respond like we do when playing with our house cat. Gorillas would want to hurt and stop the attacks and that means huge amounts of force. Force they are capable of.

I heard their pollen doesn’t provide enough nutrients for the hive/queen. Specifically protein.

Here’s a link to neat bee article. Go pollinators!

Protein contains amino acids, and some of these amino acids are essential. That means the organism can not make them; they have to get them in food. Dandelion pollen is low in valine, isoleucine, leucine and arginine, essential amino acids for honey bees.

Dandelion is consider a poor quality source of protein for bees.

I her make it all paywall and subscription based. Probably laced with spy tools, new terms of use every few months followed by deactivation for some dumb reason

Thanks. I remember the name Como (governor) but little else about him

Probably a PR stunt so they sound important. Unions have been useless things for years. Leaches grifting off of their workers.

Too bad they won’t help the people they’re paid to help.

Based on that I’d kick them all out.

Take action how. By who.

Only chance you have to fix the Supreme Court is by Biden appointing more justices like FDR did. And he better do it before trump packs the place as a safety measure. Or some one shoots all the traitors.

Both sides have been killing each other for those 70 years. Before that it was just the Jews getting killed which apparently is ok with you

Victory or loss too.

The fact that immigrants demand things should be enough to deport them. That sense of entitlement won’t decrease with time.

Why

I read that a few times…is he saying Porsches break down a lot so ya the truck would win. But then I noticed the spellings. So ya a cyber truck would beat a Porche, they’re cheap knock offs of Porsches
