But of course, police are given 3 months of training tops, so they just fire them wherever.

I don’t think they fire them wherever. I think they aim at people’s faces because they think it’s funny.

Bleed the Beast.

Waste money on bullshit like this, then cut useful social services to “balance the budget.”

No, they need to actually report on him. That includes the court cases, but also the constant stream of crazy shit that he says at his “rallies,” as well as what his plans are for a second presidency.

Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

In case anybody is wondering why he’s making a big deal out of it.

As to why emoji feels the need to make his own “anti-woke” AI, it’s because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet “forced diversity quotas.” I’m not kidding.

He asked that the state GOP revoke their endorsement of him. That’s something.

His previous comments imply some internalized homophobia, but this recent line of rhetoric from the Colorado GOP is obviously eliminationist, and he seems to have realized it. Maybe it leads to him more closely examining his previous attitudes, maybe it doesn’t.

I’m not saying he’s like, a good dude. Just worth noting that he found a line he wouldn’t cross.

You should just read what the Republicans will do if Trump is reelected.

They’ve published their plans, and I want exactly zero of any of the “policy” they plan on implementing.

The article says his department’s budget has increased by $270 million since newsom took office. Poor guy is underfunded!

I mean, he makes the rounds in the right wing grift-o-sphere somewhat regularly, has huge name recognition, and likely a very positive q score among maga types.

He probably doesn’t need any leftist outrage to win a primary in the right district.

Because Elmo demands that his people redesign the idea of a car from the ground up, just because he wants to prove he’s The Most Special Boy. Remember when they were having all those problems with power steering, and they were like, “hey, our company is basically brand new, we’re still working out some kinks.”

Like, power steering has been solved for a long time now, there’s no need to try to reinvent it.

I’m surprised that they haven’t released any cars with three, five, or six wheels yet.

This concept was in season 2 of Slow Horses.

Fighting climate change takes systemic change, as to truly solve it we need to do away with extractive capitalism. Turning on the money taps to fund the military industry fits neatly within the current system.

I don’t think healthy food is necessarily more expensive, at least not if you know what you’re doing. My personal experience is actually the opposite.

The problem, as you mentioned is the time, and the emotional and physical labor of figuring out something the whole family will want to eat and cooking it. Those things are all expenditures in their own ways, but not financial.

No, the Indian government can’t do anything to a website that isn’t based in Indian territory.

A good example is a recent giant investigation by Reuters into an Indian hacker-for-hire company, and the man who founded (and made hundreds of millions of dollars off of) it. The man sued Reuters over it, and an Indian court found the article “indicative of defamation.” I believe Reuters is appealing, or there is something ongoing. In the meantime, they took the article down worldwide. Why? Because they have offices in India, and employees there, and the Indian government could punish those branches if the article stayed online in other parts of the world.

In this case, they’ve deployed similar tactics to pressure international companies to block the website.

Meanwhile, the New Yorker and The Daily Beast have large articles up based on the Reuters investigation, because they have no branches in India, and thus give no fucks about what their courts say. The original Reuters expose is also still available on the Internet archive.

Go into settings on your app, set to open links in external browser. Assuming your primary browser is Firefox with ublock on, you shouldn’t have a problem.

Even opening with my Lemmy app’s internal browser, there were two easily closable pop-ups, and the embedded ads in the article didn’t even load.

This is every colonizer’s playbook: you make constant small incursions, then when the people finally push back, you use it as an excuse to wipe them out and take the land.

Your edit has been my pet theory for some time. That and he gets to ruin a platform that leftists have used to organize around the world.

I see this more as an attempt to sway voters who are motivated by their jobs to vote for oil friendly politicians.

Do any of those companies help to produce beef?

Most companies create products to sell to consumers.
