Business leaders tell people what they want to hear, scientists typically bring bad news.

Absolutely. All the Parkinsons cases from people who've lived next to agricultural land and golf courses, all from 'safe' products.

That one is for investors in the ponzi scheme. Don't forget 'your self driving car will earn taxi fare while you sleep' and 'AI will usher in the 3-day work week'.

Confirmation that Steam made a good call, right there.

Seeing a lot on PNY stuff on fire with denied warranties. It's really put me off owning any of their stuff in the future.

I'm really going to miss Firefox

When criticism is blasphemy you know you're dealing with a reasonable and balanced individual.

Qobuz have a download store. I've been using them for years and they've always been excellent.

If they've got a billion dollars they also own their own track and can pay other drivers to lose races against them.

The same lobbyists that bought every other government have already bought this one. It looked good for a while though.

Endgame capitalism is squeezing harder since the 2008 crash and then Covid. They predicted polarising of politics and ideologies. We're seeing tribalism as a reaction to fewer resources and harsher conditions, all of which are down to greed and oligarchy. They've succeeded in getting us to fight amongst ourselves instead of them.

"but we're leaving the millionaires alone"

Iran probably bought them from Putin with some shiny new drones.

I think being a woman of colour is enough to trigger a big ol chunk of the USA into hating her.

The question can also be applied to why people believe in God / follow a religion. The notion of monarchy has (in the UK at least) been tied into pseudo religious notions of 'chosen by god' or similar, so it ties into that belief system for better or worse. (Historically the tie-in was to co-opt the obedience baked into faith, but that's probably lost on modern monarchists and believers.)

People everywhere develop unhealthy relationships with those that are oblivious to them, or outright parasitic and damaging. This is another of those that's been wrapped up in tradition and ceremony under the guise of 'normality' and the status quo. 'Ignorance is bliss' may apply.

Morons killed the country, Brexit was the proof.

Unreasonable people can't be reasoned with. There is no rational conversation with people who's decision making is based upon racism/jingoism/national exceptionalism. The UK is still a monarchy, so I'm not convinced they can be taken any more seriously than a religious state anyway.

Bullshit. The EU is far better off without us. They know it and we know it.

Depending upon the age of the bios, it may not recognise USB sticks over a certain size. If you can burn your Linux ISO to a CD-R you might have more luck.

They had a lot of lead pipes in rome, so maybe.
