Fuck those racist suburbanites. It’s not ok to disseminate the racist myth about a border “crisis” just to win political favor. Fuck anyone – Democrat, Republican, or other – that contributes to this.

Edit: That sounded really negative. If you support open borders, then I hope you have a great day!

I have that about:config setting in Firefox that makes videos only play if you manually click them. Many news sites refuse to display the video at all with this setting.

Another thing they do that makes them unusable for me and anyone else with impaired vision is they aggressively disable the “force pinch to zoom” accessibility setting that browsers have. ABC News does this, for example. I actually did file an ADA report about this, but it was rejected, even though it’s a clear violation of the federal ADA guidelines. Worthless corporations protected by worthless government agencies that only exist to protect the rich.

To make a long story short, I have no qualms about not giving these sites my money. Let them burn.

I feel like ads got worse over time to the point that one can barely fathom visiting a news media site without an adblocker.

This could be a good thing in that it could potentially help democratize journalism, taking it out of the hands of billionaires. Conversely, it could make harmful conspiracy theories more widespread.

Most likely, it would be a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.

Also, why the hell is this downvoted? Am I missing something?

One thing that is not on my bucket list is climbing Mt. Everest. Any natural wonder and charm it once had have been destroyed by mindless tourists.

Holy shit, that governor really made an ass of himself. He just kept doubling down lol

Thanks for the links!

I miss Radio Shack, but also I feel like toward the end there the workers wouldn’t even let me breathe.

A good Samaritan reported it and was basically charged with hacking the state

Wait, really? What would I search to read more about this? Do you remember which state?

True, but web designers already treat Firefox and its offshoots as an afterthought. Do you think without Mozilla it would get even worse?

Yeah, I forgot about that.

“Drug users can never know for sure whether the substance they are buying is what it’s claimed to be” is a solid argument for decriminalization. (Not sure where Finland stands on that.)

In this case, I’m not so sure. This governor did veto an anti-trans sports bill in the past.

To me, it seems like we have a flawed system. Children had to be poisoned before the FDA took any action, and now…

Because the finished pouches, but not the cinnamon itself, were shipped to the U.S., the agency cannot take direct action against Negasmart or Carlos Aguilera, officials said.

So they can’t even restrict the import of these products? What kind of protection is this? Nothing about this makes me feel very confident in the safety of our food supply.

I wish I could take credit, but I don’t even know the origins of that copypasta!

I was pleasantly surprised by that! Legendary journalism!

I sent them a copypasta

Here you go: https://www.in.gov/attorneygeneral/education-liberty/

I’m thankful they included a link to the portal. I’ve got some urgent reports to send them.

Isn’t it talking about legal streaming services like Netflix, Tubi, Amazon, YouTube…

That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about those other streaming sites. The only thing I found difficult to find on those sites is the Spanish dub of Sailor Moon, but I did find it after some searching. You can find virtually anything there.

If that’s the case, then it sounds like capitalism is pretty shit at fostering mutual aid, and we should probably dispense with it

In the meantime, I do blame the corporations and greedy CEOs for being such abysmally horrid ghouls that they would require regulation not to enslave and exploit. Not everyone needs rules to tell us not to treat each other miserably.

So yeah, I do blame them. Saying they need regulations not to behave in this way really shows what kind of disgusting and deplorable humans are leading these companies.

True, but even then I rarely feel compelled to retain a local copy. I can stream anything for free, and the quality is fine.

I get the attraction of using torrents and watching everything on demand in perfect cinematic quality, but it’s not really a priority for me, excepting a small select handful of movies and shows.
