Theres a simple way to clean this shit up that would end this kind of thing overnight.
Put Meta financially on the hook for these scams. If facebook convinces some poor old lady with low tech literacy to hand over her retirement fund, then facebook should be on the hook to repay her. Facebook then can, at their own leisure, chase the scammer down to pay them back, but facebook must be held accountable.
Do that, and those scam ads end overnight.
also it's extra surprising to the android that runs Meta because he can't comprehend why people would prefer to meet face to face instead of in the Metaverse
Interesting thought: do you think New York's new government-run grocery stores will let people just walk out without paying?
Because I don't live in SF and have no desire to go there?
But it's obviously just more fake security if all a shoplifter needs to do is get someone's receipt to walk out of the store past the guard.
So shoplifters just have to get hold of one old receipt and they're good?
The whole point of these "age limits" is to force people to accept digital ID. This is why we're seeing a coordinated push all over the world.
You need to fill it out because by doing so you're authorizing the government to take your money. Otherwise they're literally just stealing it.
> Yes, those religions do have some empathy in their philosophy, and it is the first thing to go when they feel threatened or if they find something of someone else's that they like more than what they have.
Empathy means the ability to see the world from someone else's point of view. It does not mean "giving your country to foreigners."
Empathy tends to lead to inqusitions, pogroms and wars because empathic people can understand the point of view of others and don't imagine that those people are "all the same under the skin." Then they realize they don't like those people much and want them gone.
The left love talking about empathy, but have none. If they did, they wouldn't be the left.
With a president who solves an existential threat by finding the best expert he can find, and using his own formidable political skills and charisma to run interference for that expert.
Seriously, Comacho was a meathead, but Iâ(TM)d vote for him.
Sir, you are infringing on my trademark of Micro Softwad.
Sorry, but the only person here with Stockholm's Syndrome is you. You are held hostage to your failed beliefs that communism and socialism are the only way forward when history has shown that they simply lead to authoritarianism.
Well they sure as hell aren't when we get so intellectually lazy we dub anything to the right of ghengis khan "COMMUNISM".
Is Keynsianism too "communist" for you? Theres a solid and battle tested set of principles that build wealth while protecting the little guys.
If it is, then maybe just follow Adam Smiths advice and regulate capitalism in the interest of the common man. Is Adam Smith too communist for you?
What IS your baseline here beyond vapid libertarian-ish slogans?
This whole speech of his seems like
"AI isnt profitable, so we'll need you to raise electricity prices on voters so you can give us free power".
Maybe, radical suggestion I know, but maybe they can just fuck off....
The faster the bubble bursts so all these shitbirds lose all their money the happier I will be.
