This is commentary on Tucker saying that a demon attacked him and clawed him up while he slept.

I don't think you accurately read their comment.

They're not spending years in development planning and creating new, exciting content. They're holding back basic features from the beginning and selling them to you over time for many times the base game's price.

I get that the heavier bowling ball affects the acceleration of the earth more than the lighter feather, but I don't see how that means it's falling faster as the meme is stating. The bowling ball would meet the earth first when dropped separately and from the same height because the earth is (imperceivably) accelerating toward it faster than it does the falling feather, but both the bowling ball and feather are falling at the same rate due to Earth's gravitational force.

Or am I missing something?

Braver than most western journalists, who regurgitate the corporatocracies narrative and manufacture consent on their behalf.

True

Hopefully she's given a good job and granted asylum somewhere in the west ASAP, so she can go on with her life.

What?

If their model was simply, "were going to pay you to stream," then it would instantly be another egirl cam site which is not inherently right or wrong.

They don't want that. It's their platform, their server space, and their rules. Similar to who you allow in your home and what you allow them to do, they decide who and what if allowed on their platform.

The "why" doesn't even matter. Maybe it's run by a far right Christian. Maybe they don't want the liability. Maybe they have a vision for what their platform is and isn't. It doesn't matter. It's their property and they decide what's allowed.

Greed and lack of empathy

That's what keeps capitalism humming along. It's why a few people own most of everything and the "lucky" Americans will be forced to work until they die. What point were you trying to make when you attempted to correct them by saying that's not capitalism?

Everyone knows what the trolley problem is about. I think it's you who's missing the point. Instead of blindly accepting the unacceptable solutions that are offered, come up with your own, better solution.

He undoubtedly has more information about what's going on than most people who aren't there but he also has different motives. Where you or I might view genocide as unacceptable under any circumstances, he's viewing it through a lens of constantly needing to maintain and grow American power and resources. He believes that the US relationship with Israel furthers that goal so Israel performing genocide gets a pass. He rationalizes it by believing that whatever is (capitalism's definition of) good for America is good for all Americans.

I don't get the aggression people have for someone using different brand.

People identify the business decisions that Apple makes to be anti-consumer. They then feel frustration and anger for users of Apple products as support for their products only emboldens Apple to continue making anti-consumer decisions, such as the subject of this article.

Apple is a microcosm representation of the evils of capitalism for many people and they project their feelings about it - powerlessness, disgust, anger, etc. - onto users of Apple products. People associate support for iPhones which enjoys a 61% US market share as support for the boot of capitalism on our throats regardless of whether the Apple user doesn't know, doesn't care, or doesn't agree.

There is demand for first class seating from nearly 100% of fliers. They're just not willing to pay what AA is charging. This isn't a supply and demand decision. Econ 101 says that means AA should reduce the price, but capitalism in practice says the constant desire for more profit and the monopoly that most industries have been allowed to grow and maintain means never lower the price and find a new way to fuck the plebs who don't even own a single yacht.

FontMasterFlex, you're clearly missing the point. It's an unjust law that exists to keep people like her out of office. It's another Christian right wing - sorry, I mean government - tactic to keep the other team from being allowed to play.

It's the same as the laws that were passed requiring abortion clinics to have 18 ft wide hallways. "We're not banning abortion! We're just concerned about the rights of all the 18'+ women seeking treatment!"

Fuck unjust laws that keep people from getting into positions to overturn unjust laws.

This certainly is data, which doesn't exist purely in tabular tables. If you're interested in doing so you could count to see how many records exists in the set, and you can easily view the "prosecution_result" field for each record. The data is also arranged into groups for easier consumption of trends that the creator is showcasing.

If you were to look at the raw data, probably stored in tabular records, you wouldn't gain much insight into the overarching trends without spending more time studying and taking notes than the few seconds it took to absorb the trends in the author's visualization.
