He in it now

I actually find it really comforting that it's going back as if it never happened. Don't get me wrong, I wish the bullet had been a skosh to the right, but hear me out:

America does not give a shit about Donald Trump. The country doesn't care if he lives or dies. The media cares a lot, but the country doesn't think it matters that he almost got shot. He didn't get a bump. He didn't get a sobbing tearful day show host wondering if he's ok. He didn't even put out a commemorative "Trump got shot" bullet and let's be real, that's something he could have done himself. Nobody cares. He's not important to America.

If we're talking about employees, then yes.

If we're talking about workers, then no, not a worker.

I'm not gonna look it up, but who recently bought Subway and is now cashing in on tanking it so they can sell the corpse?

The game where finishing it is 100%'ing

Right? Like damn, I know that was a good cover but have we already forgotten it was a NiN song?

Suffer, you parasite. And when you're full on suffering, spread it to everyone who ever supported you.

I hate to break it to everyone but she does not currently support single payer nor will her presidency push for it. (At least, that's the message they're putting out right now.)

Never forget that everything Trump says is a lie, even if it's one you want to believe.

That said, I think it would be easier to drag her into it than Biden.

That sign definitely pulled in business. Who could resist?

He's a GOP pollster, he has to believe this or he'd be a Democratic pollster. You don't have to believe it, though.

This story implies that there will be a time when the cloud becomes reliable for long-term storage of media into the future.

It never will be. Enshittification and capitalism makes it much shorter, but even given a well-run publicly accountable system of cloud storage, there will still come crises that result in the loss of our data artifacts over time. Political upheavals. Viruses and external attacks of all kinds. Bad policies voted for by the public.

Over long enough timeframes, everything currently in the cloud (everything worth saving, that is) will eventually have to be rescued by some grandma somewhere with tape backups of your favorite movies in her attic.

They'll sue to shut the barn door after the barn's already empty.

Texas is going to be devastated politically, culturally and with its citizens' lives due to their own right-wing lunatic policies, but they have never signaled that there's the slightest chance these things will stop without a revolution. I know people from Texas--good, bright, strong people who are fleeing authoritarian oppression of every kind to a place where their politics will be accepted. They're doing what they have to to survive, but every Texas refugee who leaves only strengthens the right wing there.

I wish I knew what could stop it.

• They may be looking for people within a certain age range. A married couple in their 70s probably wouldn't give a report on the same things as a couple in their 20s.
• There might be several officer couples with kids on board, but Ransom lied because he wanted to favor his team that day.

Specifically Italians, at that.

So let me get this straight: you hate ad companies and want to cast them all into the fire (a position I agree with, fwiw);

but you also think they are ethical enough and competent enough to self-police running against nazi shit.

What

No, you don't understand.

The advertising entities, who definitely suck ass, would be MUCH WORSE and so would EVERYTHING ELSE if there wasn't someone telling them "don't put ads next to nazis". It's called harm reduction dude.

What a manly brave man with strong values.

The org's mission was to tell advertisers when they're advertising next to hate crimes. You really don't want advertisers to make money from ads next to hate crimes, because that incentivizes people posting nazi shit on social media. And this org would prevent that. It's not a bad thing.

Its disappearance won't really matter much because it's a paper fiction anyway, and there'll be another one.
