I miss the days when trolls were fairly harmless.

Nah, fuck that. Vote.

What the fuck I thought Super PACs were not allowed to coordinate with the candidate...right? ....right? It's paying his fucking legal bills how is that not a violation? Oh that's right because it's a fucking corrupt bullshit concept. The supreme court's awful Citizens United ruling completely fucked over this country.

Lemmy sure loves a circlejerk about shitting on Firefox.

Pretty badass move.

Republicanism has long been about recasting selfishness as a virtue.

Great line

Glad to see more reporting on this. The way they swapped out Roiland's voice in Solar Opposites was absolutely perfect, it really hasn't lost anything imo.

And also, are people who are determined not to watch advertising going to be the ones that cave and buy some crap if you can force them to watch it?

I don't have much of an idea on if it was small but the movie Sunshine (2007) comes to mind. Loved that movie. It's well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

I think the gist is Mueller investigated Trump and the shady Russia stuff and had enough to charge him with obstruction but did not due to DOJ policy (to not charge a sitting president). He laid out a plan for congress to do something about it, congress impeached but the GOP controlled Senate blocked it.

So I guess some of that could be dug up? But there are bigger fish to fry now, considering the current indictments.

This article is fucked up. No one (likely) here saw the 60 minutes opening, we're all reading about a huffpost article about the response from a bunch of people on Twitter, those might not even be Americans, they might have an IQ of 50, why are they driving the conversation? We're not taking the time to watch the 60 minutes and we're letting huffpost make money off of outrage culture. The content of the 60 minutes is the story and crucially important not the idiots/bots/propaganda responding to it. The shittiest type of journalism is based off Twitter replies and the best journalism is what 60 min is doing

Whataboutism....

1 million times more wealth than the median, holy shit.

You're perfectly welcome to dissent, and also reap the consequences of that dissent.

And she originally only asked for McDonald's to cover her medical expenses ($20k) which they refused.

When I've checked the front page it's like 15 year humor has taken over. R/unexpected top post was some dumb "NSFW" gif with a breakup and a girl saying how she loved a dude and him saying she didn't give him pussy, "🤦so cringe. All my subs were borked, not worth the effort to rebuild, I'd rather build new in lemmy.

AND she was in a car with no cup holders. It wasn't a standard feature in sports cars in the 90s. She had borrowed it from her son.

And you're right that it didn't change coffee temps that much:

“During the Liebeck court proceedings, McDonald’s said it served its coffee between 180 and 190 degrees,” according to The New York Times. “The company has refused to disclose today’s standard temperature, but Retro Report shows a handbook for franchisees calling for temperatures 10 degrees lower.”

If it doesn’t sound like much, it’s because it’s not. McDonald’s chooses to keep their coffee scaldingly hot because, according to attorney Butch Wagner, hot coffee stays fresh for longer. They save money by doing this (millions per day, in fact, across their US franchises alone), even if it means paying out for other hot coffee settlements—of which there are plenty.

Agreed. Only took the EU a couple decades to tell cellphone manufacturers (Apple) to use a standard plug.

And they have no pull off tab, and your finger nails are just a tiny bit too long and you bend one the wrong way 🤕
