I will never understand why Democrats preserve the filibuster. When Repugnicams are in power, any tool that Democrats could use to hold them in check gets scrapped. Why do Dems keep trying to play fair?
Let me get this right: Republicans are demanding government funding for sand while they try to block government funding to feed children? And don’t get me started on the state of US healthcare thanks to Mitch McConnell.
There are days when I understand antipathy towards the UN. Fortunately they’re rare. But boneheaded moved like this don’t make it easy to defend the institution.
I really miss “Don’t Be Evil.”
I still use some of their original services, but I’ve become wary of trusting anything they brought online after about 2010.
Did they honestly think he was going to advocate bankrupting his oil-dependent economy for a little thing like not killing everyone?
On the one hand, nice jab. Unfair since he wasn’t interested, but get his jollies where he can, I guess.
On the other, he knew longer than most that Reddit was done. He can pivot to Lemmy at any time.
To say the quiet part out loud: Bullshit
Google may find that their only option is to paywall YouTube. Too many of us will prefer to pay creators directly rather than letting Google take a cut. And YouTube is not the only game in town.
I admit that I’m pretty much done with YouTube anyway. Their unskippable mid roll ads that interrupt videos mid-word have become obnoxious enough that many creators I follow are jumping ship and advising their viewers where to find them.
While there’s no doubt that something is going on to make Google searches garbage, news outlets don’t publish retractions lightly. I’m inclined to believe that they are convinced that the story was substantially inaccurate.
I know this should provoke… I don’t know… sadness? Resignation? Concern? Righteous indignation?
But I literally cannot stop laughing. Everything is the Democrats’ fault, including Republicans’ own egos. Oh the schadenfreude!
Loyalty is vastly overrated. The only rational course of action is to complete exactly the tasks to which you've agreed for the wage they've determined. Your employer will demand loyalty but never reciprocate. Don't let them manipulate you.
Also, never ever let them see you sweat. It doesn't matter how good your employer is, at the first hint that you're insecure, they'll pounce and you'll be treated like garbage. Always have your briefcase packed and a box to clear out your desk on a moment's notice.
It’s already been noted elsewhere that this will directly violate Apple’s and Google’s app store policies. The X app should be immediately pulled as a result.
Fixed it for them
