Black Friday shoppers spent a record $9.8 billion in U.S. online sales, up 7.5% from last year
With how many "not an actual sale" sale items were online for Black Friday?
Can't wait to see how all that extra corporate profit trickles down into cost of living raises am I right?

I think as more powerful apps are created with simple sign up UIs that auto subscribe to the communities you request etc, and pull content from multiple sources (kbin/Lemmy/mastodon) all on one page... It will become easier for the less technically inclined to join. Just give it time and keep participating here instead of reddit.

Oh it's very real. Microsoft is one of the absolute worst companies for amount of raw data they hoover up.
Don't believe it? Try logging into the Outlook Web client with uBlock or uMatrix turned on and look at the number of requests it stops.

Those 10,000 5-star reviews are fake. Now they’ll also be illegal | The FTC has proposed new rules that clarify what is and isn’t a deceptive online review — and would give it the power to fine $50...
30-40%? Please. Almost every single product on Amazon with more than 100 reviews has at least 70-80% of them sounding exactly the same. FakeSpot isn't even that good and yet it can still tell you at least that amount are fishy if not much higher.

See there's your problem. We can't have all these better educated adults in a functioning society. They'll become all liberal and ruin our perfectly established capitalism with their cries for a living wage or whatever peasants call for these days.

USS Carney Shoots Down Missiles, Drones Fired From Yemen

What are you talking about? You're entire scenario is based off someone(?) having enough coordinated firepower to sink not one, but two US carrier battle groups and then the US leaving them alone long enough for "powers to rise"? That isn't realistic in this time period.
If anyone in the world attacked and sunk a single US carrier on purpose, one of two things immediately happen: A. That country is invaded with hellfire and massive destruction, or (in the case it was a super power who did it) B. World War 3.
