I don’t know, the only thing stopping me from getting 150 billion is the threat of having to pay an 800 million fine on it.

If it weren’t for that

I was going to say, it’s starting to sound more like the EU is just taking kickbacks in a circuitous legal manner rather than via a shady under the table deal with men and trench coats exchanging packages of unmarked bills.

I mean, in the last 5 months how many times has the EU fined meta or google?

If you really want to make a message that sticks, you ban the danger sites from operating in your collective and then fine them for their past misdeeds.

If you want to be seen as lenient, you then set down a list of objectives that the site must adhere to in order to be reinstated in the collective.

Anything short of that is just lining your pockets. I mean, what is the money being used for?

Remember, the rule is “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish”.

Threads is doing this. Kicking them to the curb regardless of the cost is the only solution.

And yet, can anyone off the top of their head tell me who it was that originally said that?

Did your mom name you Lee Harvey oswald?

Did your mom, aka Mrs Oswald, not know that Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK, or was she like really proud of that fact and wanted to carry on his legacy?

Did she legally change her last name to Oswald just so she could name you Lee Harvey Oswald?

Or are you like a Jr and your dad is Lee Harvey Oswald Sr?

Did your mom bully your dad into changing his name to Lee Harvey Oswald?

What is there to be positive about?

I used it for a while. It honestly was a really good browser for a long time but since everything started going this shit it quickly fell from my good graces.

The only time I even think of missing it is when I have to open a page that is optimized against Firefox on purpose because the developers decided to use some janky Javascript plugin and didn’t test.

I fully expect an incessant torrent of smug assholes on every corner of social media I go to alongside a never-ending stream of horror stories of all the shitty things that people are doing to other people.

Yeah, now it’s entirely reasonable to drop a human being from your friend pool for the rest of your life because of which person they voted for.

If I find out somebody has voted for Trump they are now persona non grata to me.

And before you say I shouldn’t let politics rule my friendships, my dad is dead because of how Trump bungled the covid pandemic response, so any person who has voted for that person has said that my dad dying is less important to them than that guy being given the highest office in the land.

I cannot think of a graver insult, and it is one that cannot be apologized for short of bringing my father back to life.

So if you voted for Trump, fuck you.

I’m not 100% certain they would melt. And I’m not going to spend my own time and money to try to fix everything that’s wrong with them.

If you have an idea on a way to make them better, how about you implement them and then make millions of dollars selling them to ignorant rubes like myself?

I’m just going to keep riding this horse until it fucking dies but the very first thing he did was take everything Obama did during his presidency and throw it out the window, including the pandemic playbook.

That playbook would have given us step by step instructions and reactions to deal with any type of suddenly erupting national pandemic like Ebola or coronavirus.

And because of this, which was by all measures a racially motivated attack on Obama, more than 1 million Americans died in a badly managed pandemic.

Trump’s racism killed a million Americans.

It undoubtedly exacerbated the problem for the entire world and his total kill count is likely much more than that.

How can you let somebody who genocided millions of people through racism sit in the oval office?

They taste like candied styrofoam to me

I’ve never played any of them myself but my guess is that it’s the monster hunting.

Same. The instant it touches my tongue I’m transported back to being a kid and my grandmother thinking these were amazing treats and giving them out to us and then getting really upset if we didn’t finish them.

And then I remember I have to actually eat the rest of it. So I finish off the first one and then I see the tiny little 59 cent bag that’s only got four more of them in it and I feel like it would be a waste of my money and my effort in acquiring the circus peanuts and so I force myself to eat the rest of the bag and then vow to never eat them again.

Until I forget and get another bag.

Gave out a few full size snickers to adults today. Glad to have them come by!

How about circus peanuts?

The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.

The second bite taste like accepting your fate.

Honestly it kind of sucks.

I always wanted a kid but it requires a partner who is able to be a parent and I have never had such a partner.

I had a pretty fucked up childhood and I wanted someone who could be a good mother to a child and everyone I’ve dated who had the ability to be a good mother was not capable of giving birth for one reason or another and everyone I’ve dated who’s capable of giving birth was not capable of being a good mother for one reason or another.

I know it’s not too late for me but it’s getting pretty damn close.

I probably go back to when I was a kid and my mom kidnapped me and since I look so much like my dad kick in the door and raise myself as my own father.

Use my knowledge of the future too make myself incredibly rich and give my younger self all of the advantages and opportunities of life.

Only everybody gets their pocket picked
