I’m sorry but these things drive me bonkers angry

You can’t ask billions of people to do shit whilst < 2700 billionaires refuse to do shit because they need their private jet to buy an apple. You can’t ask me to do a huge thing with zero impact whilst oil companies actively sabotage every effort to improve the climate so that shareholders can get that extra dollar.

US politics, and it shouldn’t be

I know you’re kidding but… Starting?

Putin issues a nuclear warning #5285 to the West over Ukraine

FTFY

Also: why won’t you just let me play land grab and genocide? Why won’t you just let me fuck people over? Why won’t you just let me be a genocidal maniac when I want to? You’re all a bunch of party poopers!

F&$)@+ everything about “maybe later”. It was the last nail in the coffin for me, any company giving me that bullshit is immediately on my shit list and will be cut out, I’ll never do business with you ever again. Every new service I have is open source and self hosted, the only ones left that are not are Netflix, Spotify and (unfortunately for reasons) YouTube. Netflix will be put soon because arr matey, and Spotify will follow soon as well.

I’m done with services and media from companies

Am I missing something? Isn’t “emails” correct?

You make sense, and I agree, but until kids are no longer jailed or put on sex offender lists for innocent sexting, I’m not going to assume US police officers and the US justice system being as reasoned as you are

No (s)he’s not, this is VERY pragmatic. US police officers love pushing their authority up your rear end given the chance, and if you even accidentally recorded a topless minor, you could be in for.some fun.

To be fair… On the one hand, publicly complaining about the upbringing of your own daughter is just bad, but on the other…

When you’re 24 years old with your own (presumedly good) income and you want a non critical operation done, shouldn’t you try and finance that yourself?

Nice!

And it shaped all police forces in the US for the entire decade after

The sun burns differently, it’s burning generates the oxygen it needs to burn, its a perpetual motion machine

Funny isn’t allowed with the perpetually outraged crowd

Quite a few cities have worked hard on outlawing Airbnb. At least in Europe and (AFAIK) Canada.

The US? I have no idea

Won’t anybody think of the children!?

The age old adage of the oppressor

Well… Communism is directly responsible for multiple famines that killed into the hundreds of millions. Then there are the inevitable purges that have taken millions of lives and hosts of terrors as well.

You’re free to dispute history if you need to, and claim that theoretically communism is nice, but in practice, history tells us that living under communism reaaaalllyy sucks.

Can’t hang a company. A CEO, though…

Having said that, everyone should behave, not at all calling out for violence, but people should start pressing their governments to directly hold CEOs responsible, criminally where needed

Meh, ij mnay ways China IS north Korea, I doubt they have issues with it.

Tom Cruise is a great example of love the actor, hate the man.

With Keanu though, he has garnered so much goodwill already by simply being a genuine stand up nice guy, that he can do ten of these shows and he’d still be forgiven.

Having said that, this show is typical US brain rot, and one of the reasons why Americans are so scientifically illiterate

If it’s bad to use white actors for black (or other colored) roles then it’s bad for black actors to do white roles. If it’s okay to do those switches then it’s okay for all. Forget colors it shouldn’t matter.

Having said that, Disney just did the Ariel thing ffor the “look at us being sooooo progressive, please give us your money for this utterly shit movie” instead of trying to just make a great movie
