I think I understand your point, but if news isn’t for profit, who would pay the reporters? I used to write for a newspaper and it’s pretty hard work.
It can’t be state sponsored, due to the conflict of interest. If the state pays for the media you couldn’t trust the media to accurately report on the state.
Honestly, in good faith, wondering what the other options would be.
I bet you money he couldn’t point out where Haiti is on an unlabeled map of the Caribbean.
Child Stone and Theodore Nugget has made my evening, thank you.
I buy multiplayer games on steam since that’s where my friends are. I pirate almost everything else unless I want to support the developer (typically small indie games or high quality stuff like FromSoft). If I buy a game, I do prefer GOG but steam can be convenient, especially on Linux.
There are huge archives of flash animations and you can install a safe “emulator” for playing flash that even runs in your browser. Look up Ruffle. I can’t remember the name of the big archive site I used, but it didn’t take much googling. I know I was able to find Homestar, Larry Carlson, Adam Phillips (bitey), joe cartoon and salad fingers as well as a ton of games from back in the day.
I have one word for you, OP: Racism.
The marijuana tax stamp law was put in place because American politicians and voters didn’t like black and Mexican people. At the time, it was primarily used by those demographics. Now, of course, it’s used pretty equally by everyone.
This is only possible if you get your phone from the carrier, right? They wouldn’t be able to differentiate if you were using an unlocked phone you got from Google or Amazon?
My theory is that the fuckwad was involved in CSAM in some big way because his brother was arrested for it right around the same time as the shooting.
My guess is that the FBI has some reason not to tie them together yet.
Turns out the dude was likely involved with CSAM, as his brother was arrested for it almost immediately after the shooting.
From what I’ve seen, his brother was one of the only people still in touch with him during his last days.
It’s because of what you said: no motive. Crime like this is only sensational when the motive can be applied to some fictional stereotype of villain that could be stopped by new legislation or a war or whatever.
Also I think a big reason we don’t discuss this specific event is the caliber of rifle used. Contrary to popular belief, non “assault” weapons can do a shocking amount of damage in an environment where the targets can’t retaliate. See the Virginia Tech shooting.
Long story short: if it ain’t political and can’t be made political, people in the US won’t care for long.
Lenovo X1 carbon is what you are looking for. I got one (10th Gen) and slapped fedora on it and it’s been absolutely awesome.
Battery life could be better, but I haven’t tweaked it.
Good luck finding a quality new laptop with Linux support that also has a rj45 port. Framework might be an option though. But I just use a gigabit Ethernet usb3 adapter and it works fine
Paying taxes? Most of that goes to military spending in the US
Stand Out Riot is an incredible ska/hardcore band with mostly political lyrics. They are from UK so I don’t get all of the references, but they are fucking awesome anyway.
How are there enough Americans supporting these facists that they feel comfortable saying shit like this?
I don’t think I want to live here anymore.
I have a short story that perfectly exemplifies the problems with Google and the Internet in general.
I dropped a melatonin gummy on the floor near my dog, and then I couldn’t find it (he didn’t eat it, it rolled under the couch). So I did what anyone would do, and googled “my dog ate melatonin”.
The first result was an article that said “melatonin is perfectly safe for dogs to eat, no worries!”. Whew! Coast is clear! I wiped the nervous sweat from my brow and felt my panic melt away…
But just as I was about to close Google, I see that the second result states clearly “melatonin is toxic for dogs, your dog is gonna die and it’s your fault. Call the vet now!”. (I exaggerate, but it definitely said toxic and to call emergency vet services). Panic resumes, sweat returns.
Dude… What the fuck am I supposed to do in that situation? Both of the articles seemed like they were legit and yet had wildly different messages.
Thankfully I found the gummy a few minutes later and didn’t end up at the emergency vet, but it was a confusing and concerning situation.
This doesn’t even bring up the garbage AI generated content that is now 9 out of 10 top results from Google. If you don’t want that shit, and want something written by a human being, you basically have to put “Reddit” in your query… And I think I know how most of us here feel about Reddit…
I think this already exists with Amtrak. I think it’s called the southern crescent.
Don’t ask that question, it’s anti-Semitic.
We keep holding these debates, but it seems all of our uneducated brainwashed constituents keep wanting to vote for some asshole who thinks he’s too important to show up to them. So we quit. Thoughts and prayers.
Makes me love her even more
Because roughly half the country believes what he says. If it affirms their worldview (usually hatred of some “other”), then they are happy to take it on face value.
Because we have blatantly partisan media companies willing to parrot his lies and unwilling to challenge even the most harmful of them.
Because our two party system makes nearly everything a political issue that is supported by one party or the other, and voters have to choose between the lesser of two evils (whatever that means to that voter) than vote for someone who better represents their actual world view.
Because he is rich. Because he is privileged. Because he has never been made to actually face the consequences of intentionally lying to everyone.
