So THAT'S why he's lately been sounding like a leader instead of his usual drunken grifter persona.

Laws are there for the riff raff, not the elite.

This has been true for a very long time, but those in power generally didn't abuse that fact too much. Until recently.

IT'S A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE! STOP PANDERING TO THE FOURTH REICH!

You are obsessed with this being the norm. I'm not at all convinced it is.

I'm a cis dude in my mid-50s. Don't think this has ever hapoened to me.

Lovely, but wrong group.

I didn't know about this. I haven't followed Proton closely for a while, but this...wow. Kinda lousy.

Wow!

Of all companies, this is one I didn't expect.

Damn.

I don't go back to it (Win 3.1 games are a PITA to get running), but I really wish someone would remake Millennium Auction. It was a very clever version of the old board game Masterpiece.

I lived without anger for almost 15 minutes today.

That's almost a record.

Still is. The real distinction is between American English and the rest of the English-speaking world.

Or for non-language issues...

American units vs. metric, used by almost every other country on the planet.

American rules for a given sport vs. every other country on the planet.

American WHATEVER vs. every other fucking country on planet earth.

I wonder if Webster's "anti-British" sentiment was (part of) the instigation of "American uniquism."

To this day, whatever the world does, the US does it differently, almost as a knee-jerk reaction.

Remember, Facebook started out as a non-consensual 'hot or not' site, to rate women at Zuck's college.

As they grew, they became loudly pious about their 'strong content guidelines' (i.e. you could get banned for a mastectomy picture), but still didn't care about hate speech. Only a month ago, FB refused to take down an explicit call for the lynching of PM Justin Trudeau, and another saying trans kids need to be "raken to the train station." Neither of these violated FB's content regulations.

So framing this as Zuck bending to Trump is misleading. It's much more him taking off his mask of civility, finally.

Like Trump, like Musk, like Poilievre, the man is a weasel and a Nazi.

Stupid people voting against their own best interests isn't news.

China doesn't need the USA.

The USA needs China.

'A social media account linked to [Columbia coach Taylor] Claggett also posted anti-trans messages after the game.'

'"We stand in support of Taylor Claggett, and all our coaches, in expressing their legitimate concerns for the safety of our student-athletes," the statement [from the bible college] said.'

Fine. Columbia Bible College should be kicked out of the PacWest conference, and possibly have their academic accreditation revoked.

Fucking hate-based assholes.

What’s the endgame for them if their current path takes them to a point where their assets are more or less worthless?

Get too rich, too powerful, burn the earth, and die happy before the consequences of their behavior catch up with them.

As soon as you say "every," the answer will be no.

Humanity is too varied and unique. Shitty behaviour can erupt spontaneously at any time.

Why?

You're actually asking why?

Because Mark Zuckerberg is a fucking Nazi, just like Trump and Musk.

A more interesting question to me would be "What are the chances that the 2028 elections are allowes to be carried out freely (e.g. without the governing powers forcing the outcome they want)?
