  • Probably because it's kinda hard to check if a ghost had the "correct" skin color and/or genitals...

  • Not to mention the “Governor Trudeau” extra-dumb.

    Trudeau is probably above that, but it would be mildly amusing if he started calling Trump "comrade Trump" or maybe "vice-president Trump"

  • National security, eh? Were Epstein and friends trading enriched uranium and defense secrets between fucking children and doing drugs? Who woulda known...

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Typical. It's because it's not these fucks' families or children dying. It's other people, somewhere else. People that do this sort of thing don't give a fuck unless they're affected directly and personally. Empathy is an alien concept for them...

  • That's okay - he can fix it with tariffs on stock trading, tariffs on recession and extra tariffs on poverty, right? Because tariffs are a panacea for everything!

    America, prepare to pay tariffs on your monumental stupidity - you thought it was bad now? Then hold on to your butts. The rest of the world will also suffer with you, but we won't have it nearly as bad as you guys...

  • That's good and I'm genuinely glad they're trying to clarify it, but it proves yet again that their top management is out of touch with reality and their users: somebody (most likely more than one person actually) had to sign off on these changes and the message they sent out - this whole thing could have been avoided if they understood their users better (and/or if they actually cared nore about what users think).

  • That's the advanced cutting edge AI recommendation system for you. Oh, you just bought a fridge and a large TV? Here are fifty more fridges and large TVs that would be great for your fridge and large TV collection! And also a cheap Chinese knockoff impact drill, because they paid us to show it to people searching for fridges, TVs, jewelry, mineral water and potting soil!

  • Department of Obvious Grift and Extortion perhaps?

  • Haha, it was a prank bro! A social experiment bro! Totally for real bro, I was just testing you bro! Bro!

  • Just the web interface for me - it does everything I want, so I have an instance of Firefox on my phone dedicated to social media, with always open tabs for Lemmy, Discuit, Tildes and Pixelfed.

  • It's not from this year, is it? Still pretty cold around here...

  • Resembling? Yeah, sure. He also engaged in rhythmical chest expansions resembling breathing, and arrived at the podium by putting one foot in front of the other, in a manner that might be interpreted as walking in some circles...

    For fuck's sake, the word mincing is driving me fucking insane...

  • "When Mr Trump early in his tenure agreed to feature in an HBO documentary in which all living presidents read from the constitution, Mr Trump blamed others in the room when he struggled to read the text.

    "It's like a foreign language,” he allegedly complained."

    People are often saying "hurr durr Trump can't read," but even that is not really a joke - the man truly is barely literate.

    What have you done America, what the hell have you done...

  • True, and you're right of course. I just wish there were at least SOME consequences for at least some of this shit...

  • Because they're lying. They proved time and again that blatantly and shamelessly lying is a viable and effective strategy with no negative consequences, so they're doing it again.

  • It continuously baffles me how the principles of conservatism seem to be, in a way, the exact opposite to Buddhism - they aim to increase the amount of suffering in the world as much as possible...

    It seems like conservatives believe that the only way to reduce their own suffering is to make someone else suffer more. Where does this zero sum idea come from? I find it completely alien and difficult to comprehend...

  • “When it detects a user may be under 18, Google will notify them that it has changed some of their settings and will offer information about how users can verify their age with a selfie, credit card, or government ID.”

    This will definitely not be used to get a massive amount of face and ID data from users who get misclassified as underage due to "glitches" and suddenly locked out from their Gmail accounts or Android phones. Nope, no sirree, that will never happen at all, Google wouldn't do such an unethical and evil thing!

  • ...which is definitely true and accurate, just like all the other things he says.
