Comment Re:But not Russians? (Score -1, Flamebait) 7

The DOJ does not necessarily always have an even hand on things. Sometimes, they go after the Chinese for being Communists. They have to appease Trump to stay in control. Sometimes, they go after the Russians (as they should) but usually end up being illegally fired by the Trump administration. Thankfully, we only have to bare this for a few more months.

It is Bing under the hood for the "text" search, and it gives worse results than Bing. It is Google under the hood (if I understand correctly) for image search, so Bing = Google = DDG because they all go through Google SafeSearch. Again, correct me if I am wrong, but if you are looking for un-PC meme'ry, none of the three returns what you were looking for anymore. It's not that it's just filtering out terrorism/CP/whatever, but even with SafeSearch off, if you are getting nearly identical results on all three search engines and aren't getting something that was an un-PC meme three years ago, there is something bad at hand. I had a handful of items which returned perfectly one week and two weeks later, I was not able to find any evidence that the four items had ever existed before on the Internet.

This is what happens when you leave the fate of the Internet to Google and Microsoft.

Comment No better than the oil companies themselves (Score 0) 8

Big oil is the same group of capitalist tyrants it has always been. Amazon is making nudge-nudge deals under the table, stuff that will never be public, and they want to keep the ball moving and continue to expand by partnering up with Big Oil under the guise of "helping the world". We know better, but how many people do?

In other words, Trump has got to shut down TikTok to have a chance at the election. One by one, he destroys his competition thru ways you wouldn't normally think. He used his Media Mogul friends to (almost literally) kill Andrew Yang. Then he went after Bernie. Plausible deniability because the DNC had a hit out on him already? You bet ya. Then he went after Biden. And we know Trump v. Biden is capitalism v. socialism. If Trump wins? There will be a TRUMP TOWER in every city over 50,000 and a Federal Police Force there to protect it. They go hand in hand. Defund police and in the wake of lawlessness, get the capitalists to back you up on protecting your own turf.

My daughter told me there are videos where these facts are being circulated on TikTok but they disappear after mere hours. First, we have the universities cut off so students can't see each other's faces, and now we have this.

It is far past time to do something to reign in the fascists.

Money is never taken from you at gun point. It is voluntarily paid through taxes. In addition, your employer is usually the one who pays taxes for you unless you made a large sum of cash. With Universal Healthcare, we are one step closer to a classless society. Doctors cannot be overpaid, and sanitation workers must be paid enough to have healthcare, paid for by the employers and government. It is a self-contained system that won't fail easily.
