Imgurians are an odd bunch but I'm glad they're anti Nazi.

Burr was the most shocking. Torched his brand and legacy with this move, hope the paycheck was worth it.

worst part of it is none of these guys were struggling. All of them could easily turn it down and they would be just fine.

Credit to those like Shane Gillis, Nimesh Patel and Stavvy for turning it down.

Before opening the article:

"Well I eat meat so I don't really have the moral high ground here."

“Every year, to the horror of the rest of the world, hundreds of whales and dolphins are chased into bays on the Faroe Islands and massacred in barbaric ways with metal hooks, which are driven into the stranded mammals’ blowholes before their spines are cut,” she said in a statement shared with The Independent.

“The animals cry out in pain. Whole families are slaughtered, and some animals are seen swimming around in their family members’ blood for hours

Yeah...fuck those people. Some cultures are just worse than others.

Trump and his circle have to be making billions shorting the market with this tariff sham he's running every month.

There's nothing else that makes sense and he's going to play this yoyo tariff game as long as it keeps moving markets. Only way it might stop is if one of these controlled dips gets away from him and the bottom falls out of the market completely.

Yeah we can't make everything.

Not only do most of those low level factory jobs suck we simply don't have the workers, we're at less than 5% unemployment.

Wow that was a great read. Leif comes across as very perceptive on multiple fronts here.

Unfortunately I think his warning about the internet ending up like "souped up TV" is looking more likely by the day.

Right now it's quite easy to force a site or service to bend the knee to outside pressure. No matter how right or wrong that pressure is. People will go after hosting and ISPs, if that doesn't work they'll tie people up directly in the courts. You must provide real contact info and be willing to play ball if you operate on the old web.

Embracing encryption is the only thing I can think to do to avoid that. Which honestly kind of sucks, because while true anonymity would save sites like Omegle who act in good faith and police themsevles in a reasonable manner, others that don't will also be protected. I think the pros out weigh the cons with anonymity but that is a hard pill to swallow for many.

Google's AI will often pretend to have heard of a phrase even if it hasn't. Usually it can infer pretty well but sometimes it will just be flat out wrong. In this case it nailed it.

Praise be to Allah.

They'll try and in a way I'm glad because they're showing their hand, conservatives have gone completely insane and will justify anything they're told to.

Normal people understand kicking a taillight a week prior doesn't justify the execution.

How can this be a legally enforceable contract?!

I'd like to think it can't be but it's the US so who knows.

Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.

I just don’t know where you people get this confidence in the American people from.

Same. 2016 and covid were just a little taste of how low we can go. I don't doubt that it can get worse.

We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don't, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.

TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn't. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.

Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.

Switched my users to Jellyfin this spring when Plex first announced this move, pretty seamless transition.

I actually prefer Jellyfin and it's UI compared to the new one Plex rolled out on Roku, what a mess that is to navigate now.

Perpetual optimists as long as the guy in power has an (R) next to his name.

If this happened under Biden the market would have freaked the fuck out.

Never forget, until the check clears that is.

Yeah storage is cheap but I last reformated my boot drive in 2017 so my root partition is 20GB and now I have no room for Flatpak. Now I could just resize it but wheres the fun in that.

TL:DR "A 20GB root partition ought to be enough for anybody."

Sites not updated, he's been posting that he cancelled.

150k isn't chump change for him either, he's not as well off as Stavvy or Gillis.

If you've only eaten Red Delicious I could see how one would have that take. Gotta branch out and try different ones. Fuji, Macintosh, Pink Lady etc.

There's an Apple for you out there.

Thank your ancestors for that. Couldn't think up any new names on their way over so they resused a bunch.
