Facebook faced a ton of backlash for it and only stayed around because they are big enough that companies thought they'd lose more money by not offering their app then they'd lose by offering it.

So, are you saying you don't have any evidence they colluded in the past, and no evidence that they colluded now, but are still believing it?
Yes, so they were able to get them to show up then. That means there are not mechanisms in place at Twitter that would prevent those ads from showing up next to Nazi posts. Which means the companies absolutely had a reason to pull ad funding. If you owned a company and were spending millions on ads, would you be ok knowing that it's possible your ad shows up next to Nazi posts or Holocaust denial? Would it matter that it doesn't happen most of the time? If it's possible then Twitter has massively dropped the ball.
Where in the article do they say those ads "always" show up beside Nazi posts? They outlined their methods, and showed screenshots for proof. Even the CEO confirmed that those ads did show up next to Nazi posts, she just claimed it didn't happen often. Media matters never claimed they happened all the time with every ad. If you had above a 5th grade reading level or had read the original article you'd know better.
Did any of those hearings end with a conclusion and solid evidence of collusion? How many of those companies or executives at those companies got convicted of market manipulation or conspiracy, or even charged?
Once again you are pointing to multiple independent companies, who are each other's direct competitors, doing something at the same time and attributing that to collusion when there is no evidence for that at all. Is it that hard to imagine that multiple companies would decide at the same time to stop offering an app that harms their brand? Especially when those companies were getting heat because Parlor was used to organize the Insurrection and had many calls for violence? Also, are you now claiming that they previously colluded in support of Twitter but are now colluding against it?
You seem to have a tenuous grasp on....well, everything, but certainly reality. Companies do what they think will make them the most money. If all three thought that having Parlor on their app store, or ads on Twitter next to neonazis would make them less money than not doing those things, they would decide not to do them. It's really really basic stuff.
By definition, a blockade is an act of war, regardless of who does it. I'm not sure why you'd think I wouldn't call the US blockading some country and act of war (although I have a guess), just as much as I'd call Israel blockading Palestine as an act of war.
The reason other countries don't respond to a US blockade with all-out war is because we get other countries to agree to the blockade first and then do it as a block, which means the blockaded country would have to be prepared to fight the US plus its allies. Given the relative size of the countries' militaries involved, the blockaded ones usually decide not to fight.
Agreeing with the US's decision to support Taiwan against China is not the same as support for all US military decisions, or even most of them.
That's a pretty wild guess given how China keeps doing military drills involving amphibious landings and flying into Taiwanese airspace/going into Taiwanese waters. You wouldn't practice amphibious landings to prepare a defense against the US, you'd do that to prepare for an invasion. China talks a lot about not using its military outside its borders, which has been mostly true, but they see Taiwan as within their borders so it doesn't really tell us much.
If China wants to limit imports of goods from Taiwan they absolutely could, and it would be difficult for the US/Japan to respond to, but if by "restricting trade" you mean a blockade then that is an act of war that the US/Japan would respond to much more aggressively. Just like China would respond if we blockaded them.
To be fair to Biden, the American public as a whole has been very pro-Israel for decades and I don't think anyone expected the surge in people on our side of this issue. To be honest, I didn't expect it either. It's great to see but not surprising he would have preemptively said he supports Israel no matter what before realizing how popular the Palestinian cause actually is.
Even if that were the case, which it's clearly not, wouldn't it be better to move slowly towards full-on fascism than speed run it?
What is with all the both-sidesing and accelerationism on here in the last few weeks? Some of you all are either too young or too privileged to remember what living under Trump was really like, and he's been abundantly clear that his next term will be far worse.
You won't find very many enthusiastic Biden supporters, but I'd much rather have four more years of this than four-plus more years of Trump with a grudge and nothing left to lose.
Unless you do the online command so it pulls the most recent wim and does it on its own. I've got a batch file I use to fix computers at work that does the online dism followed by sfc and have had a few successes with it.
If you say so. Basic b&w laser from brother is $130 and the wifi model is $160. The entry level Eco-Tank is like $250 when not on sale. Laser is only expensive if you need extra features (document feeder, duplex scanning, multiple trays) or color.
They've got their own issues (at least the first few gens had an ink sponge that would become full and was not replaceable at all so you had to throw it out and buy a new one), they are definitely better than any HP inkjet, especially the "instant ink" ones. The best option, especially if you can avoid color prints, is a b&w Brother (or similar) laser printer. They are built like tanks.
I feel like I must be reading this wrong, but it seems like 4 are dead, not 3. Are they not counting the suspect as one of the dead?
It says the officer died, two victims inside died, and the suspect died. That would be four dead not three. Plus the first victim could have died or been close to it since we don't know anything about her condition.
HP laser is still markedly worse than Brother laser. Much more expensive toner, harder to find and use off-brands, and (in my experience) much higher failure rates.
In general, toner is more robust than inkjet, but also HP is worse than Brother.
HP sucks donkey balls. Printer, computer, laptop, all-in-one, doesn't matter. Friends don't let friends by an HP.
That said, ET-2800 is an Epson brand printer, specifically the base-model "Eco-Tank" printer that uses bottles of ink instead of cartridges. HP makes a few under the "Super Tank" line. If that's the right model number, that might help explain driver issues if you have an Epson printer being controlled by HP drivers.
If you plan on keeping it, make sure to set a calendar reminder or set up a task to print at least one color page every month to keep the ink from drying out in the print head. If you decide to replace it, consider a brother laser, especially the black-and-white only models. They are tanks
You're still confusing the pretext with the actual reason. Hamas and the Zionists both say they are doing this for religious reasons, but the actual reasons are much more complex and almost entirely political and social. You're buying into the propaganda from both sides of you really think the root of this catastrophe is religion.
Hamas only exists because of the occupation and oppression caused by the state of Israel.
Religion is the coat of paint put on top of an occupation that is actually the root cause here.
Both the Zionists and the Jihadists claim to be inspired by their religion, but the actual cause of the decades-long conflict has little to do with religion and much more to do with decades of occupation and oppression.
Europe (Britain mostly) and the US pushed the newly formed UN to pass a resolution calling for the creation of Israel in 56% of the territory, but the zionist militias actually took almost 75% of the land while destroying entire villages and murdering the existing population. The West continued to support them after that and have been tacitly approving of them taking even more of the land as the decades have gone by. The West is not blameless, but it was very much Israel that did it.
It will never end as long as the Israeli government keeps treating the Palestinians as subhuman. That's what creates more terrorists every day. Hamas is a response to Israel's continued occupation and oppression. The Nakba has been going on for over 50 years and people still out here acting like Palestine started all this.
Facebook faced a ton of backlash for it and only stayed around because they are big enough that companies thought they'd lose more money by not offering their app then they'd lose by offering it. Also, as bad as Facebook moderation is, they were actively removing posts and banning users for things they said about J6 (odd to call it a protest but ok), which Parlor was refusing to do until after they were removed from the app stores. Parlor wanted to be all about free speech (hmmm just like Twitter now says they want to be) and refused to moderate the calls for violence until they were forced to by the big three, which led a lot of users to be angry at them and leave for other free speech platforms even less moderate than FB or Parlor.
So, are you saying you don't have any evidence they colluded in the past, and no evidence that they colluded now, but are still believing it?
