… you mean that thing we were talking about?

Apparently they’re up to three years now. Woo.

Good luck finding new ones in the US.

They’re basically online loyalty accounts like you’d have at retail stores.

Don’t forget congressional and state/local races as well. Trump is only one point of power, albeit much more visible. But the executive branch can only do so much if the legislature is red anyway.

Why go after climate scientists… who have been saying this “for generations”? Climate scientists aren’t the problem.

Humor

“A lot” is an interesting descriptor, especially when comparing loud easily defined groups with quieter more subtle groups.

Its the difference between those animals that puff themselves out to five times their normal size and those that prefer not to be seen at all. Are there a significant portion of the first as compared to the second, just because you see them more blatantly?

Depends on how you define “better”.

More polite? Sure. More relatable to a wider audience? Honestly, probably not. Everyone farts. And those who don’t are dirty dirty liars.

That’s a pretty popular opinion, actually.

Don’t worry, they’ll still use your data.

… you don’t actually believe that, do you? Cause they can 100% go all in on Chinese corporations if it means they get that cashola.

And if you think Chinese companies aren’t in it for the money themselves… I’d love to meet your dealer cause you must be on some fantastic shit.

We’ve also seen over and over they won’t just fix things themselves if you rely on “competition”. They’ll just buy each other until there’s no competition, or they’ll collude to just not provide anything worthwhile in the first place.

Competition is a race to the bottom in capitalism. Government intervention has nothing to do with their race to bilk people of as much money as possible, except with regulatory capture.

Leaving them to their wiles just gets you even worse products for higher prices. The problem won’t solve itself, especially with such a high barrier to entry.

Hey now! Some are probably Russian/Chinese troll farms!

But gatekeeping mental health is totally okay.

Just because their issues aren’t as clinical as yours doesn’t mean they’re not also struggling.

Isn’t that just what they were referencing?

Why is red the only one associated with negativity?
