Comment 90% of the media is billionaire owned (Score 1) 78
Democrats are held to a higher standard because the news media will do something called sane washing. That is the practice of taking batshit crazy shit that the right wing does and ignoring it or coming up with apologetics for it. We saw it like crazy with trump. Naturally they do not do this for the Democrats.

Yeah, but you support trump, so we know you don't actually care about sexual anything. You're pro child rape.

It was a nice theory but it didn't pan out.
The design you're talking about is 250 years old. It's antique. Notably, the technology of legal language has come very far since. The constitution leaves many questions unanswered to the extent that today any fucking video game EULA is at least ten times more determinate.

It's not productive to use "retard" as an insult.
I propose using "rapeublican" instead.

It's a pragmatic FINANCIAL decision. Five of the top funders of the Linux foundation are hawking LLMs. Linus is typically compromised by the usual capitalistic conflict of interest.

I mean we're not going to do that but it would be nice if we would call them out on their bullshit and try to move them towards democracy. On the other hand is an American I'm watching my country turn into a fascist hellscape so there we go...

The Democrats cannot afford to lose another election. And we can't afford for them to lose another election. Every election since 2016 has been the most important election in your life and that's going to be how it is until the fascists are beaten back. They never go away but you can beat them back.
If on the other hand we don't beat them back then there's no coming back from it anymore. There's no allied powers that are going to ride in and save us from our Nazis. Once the fascists are in control of America and us that's it, it's game over. You will live and you will die in a fascist dystopian hellscape just like the people of Russia do. And you will be sent off to die in their wars just like the people of Russia
Comment oh my old school troll has mod points again (Score 0) 198
The child who mods down three of my posts in a row every time they get mod points has them again.
If the people who run this site wanted to reduce mod abuse they could do it any time, but they don't want to.
They only want us arguing about stupid shit that doesn't matter to increase the page count so they can show ads for shitlords to morons who haven't figured out how to block them yet.
Remember when this site had benevolent management? Those were the days.
