When we say "Ye did this", how many people actually recorded, played, produced, published this? I know next to nothing about modern music production, so maybe now he can do all of that at home with a laptop and an internet connection, but if there are others making money out of a clearly unstable person and getting none of the hate, I'd like at least to try and avoid giving them my money

nope.... not until I'm almost but not quite done with thing B. THEN I'll leave B unfinished and go back to thing.... wait, what about thing C?!

Thank you for taking a stand in favor of all the vampires out there who are being unfairly denied careers in law enforcement

Are there any vampire rules against throwing a tear gas grenade through your window?

Still apparently no recorded kills, even if it's not something he would have had interest in hiding

The thing is that social media have an oversized influence that makes a calm discussion of possible solutions very hard to have. When the US recognized the implications of letting a foreign power exert so much control over their people, they tried banning TikTok, or breaking it up so their US operation would be under US control.

Facebook should also be split and its EU operation purchased by a European company, that could then spend more time implementing the other changes you mention (doom-scrolling, data protection) and less time lobbying to get all these pesky EU regulations removed.

And yes, it does feel heartbreaking to count the US as a threat to national security, but China has never threatened to annex Greenland with military force, so what would have been paranoia and extreme anti-americanism last year is now the sensible, level-headed thing to do.

Not just teenagers. Facebook and quite a few others should outright be banned. Not only they are scientifically proven to be a mental health catastrophe and a political threat to democracy, it's also pretty clear now that both these things are part of their design, not bugs or unintended emerging properties.

Yep. Also, going by that measure, Hitler was a vegetarian and lover of animals who never personally killed anyone

The US being by far the biggest exporter of movies, the only way this makes sense is that Trump is not seeing enough ass-kissing (and bribes campaign donations) from the US movie industry, so he's actively trying to damage them.

Claim foreign movies are a threat, wait for other countries to retaliate against US movies, sit back and watch bribes sales of $TRUMP grow as the major studios seek his political favor.

I read the article, looking for Musk to explain more and all I got is that he can't be a Nazi because he has never personally killed anyone.

No, seriously, that's the clever defense of Mr. Geniusman.

I’ve not harmed anyone in my life, so it’s an outrageous thing to claim that I’m a Nazi, because the issue with Nazis was not their mannerisms or their, you know, choice of dress, but the fact that they killed millions of people

that's not what is said here. The Federal government is prosecuting him and the States of New York and Pennsylvania are prosecuting him too. The lawyer is arguing that's too many prosecutions for the same alleged crime.

when your only skills are being angry and stupid you have to get creative

true! Plus, there are already a bunch of really bad popes in the history of Christianity that would give Trump a run for his money

But on my personal list of "thoughts that make me shit my pants" living in a real-world Handsmaid's tale ranks pretty high, though.

Most kings, dictators, emperors in history claimed to be gods themselves or at least to have been chosen by whatever gods were popular in their territories.

Generally none of these guys were big on following the moral teachings of "their" religion, more to claim that what they want is a direct emanation of the will of the gods, so it must just be accepted.

That's why separation of Church and State is a thing in a working democracy and that's (of f-ing course) why it's now being targeted

also in my experience, while a lot of Germans are happy to chat with you in English in a social setting, business talk is usually expected to be held in German

and he would have done it too! If only that Biden stopped interfering and ruining the economy. /s

nah, Trump is a rage-powered sack of IOUs badly arranged to resemble a real human being. If you want to get rid of Trump, you have to try to delight him and remove his power source. All of his cabinet and several world leaders are trying more an more openly to kill him this way. The true unsung heroes of our time!
