no one believes American democracy is free and fair.

in order to prove to the world you're not a kleptocracy, and prove yourself capable of being a "democratic" super power worth listening to, America should have international election observers, and an independent electoral commission.

America is incapable of doing democracy right, and the rest of the world needs proof of that democracy's legitimacy before any more Arabs or Asians or Slavs or Africans needlessly die thanks to American "Freedom".

so no more Ghislaine breaching her incarceration conditions? or is she still going to retail all her current juicy mod privileges?

Russia could blow up a nuclear plant they've been diligently defending for more than a year, with IAEA oversight. Or this could be more Disinformation. happy 2023

tautologies are awesome

say after me. "The sun does not belong to America, and America's track record disqualifies them from making decisions like this.

Stop trying to help. You only ever make it worse."

There are seven billion people on earth, you only get to make this decision when you're in charge of the majority of them."

this was a direct consequence of Google and Facebook's predatory pricing. How is a hack on the bread line supposed to take on the Goliaths of Silicon Valley?

it was cheap ads by Google and Facebook; untaxed across the world, that removed the traditional revenue from classified ads that historically paid for journalism. Now it's just rich people with vested interests paying for it, with the last frontier of actual journalism "open source intelligence", or telling people what's going on without injecting you're opinion or propaganda into it.

why is the sea level lower where the gravity is lower? surely more gravity would create more "pull"? confused by how this works...

this wasn't some customer needing pizza and Domino's going the extra mile. this is a publicity stunt by a major multinational corporation at a major music event, using military technology for the clout. Calling this a story is like calling a billboard a news outlet.

you definitely shouldn't read James Frazer's The Golden Bough. Absolutely no documented history of European aristocracy sacrificing and eating humans up to this century. Definitely no evidence that all the Egyptian mummies were EATEN by Victorian era Europeans. And then there's today's Rich...

... or stop incorrectly predicting a downfall based on just your own propaganda, not the reality of his tenure?

always was. otherwise he wouldn't have (checks notes) started influence operations across Reddit with Ghislaine at the wheel after Aaron died. guy is deeply compromised. think it's got something to do with his history of moderation of r/jailbait

Elon musk says people should not work from home. but he lives in the office and is the owner.

so he's working from home?

wait till you find out how polio vaccines were made...

moonpay and bored apes are the same laundry. The wash trades on Yuga Labs projects are disgusting.

everyone I've ever spoken to developing for Apple, including many of the biggest apps and technology companies, describe the horror show that is submitting to either the Mac or iOS app stores.

not only do you know that Apple is actively working to create internal copies of the best public work, but their policies are so opaque and anti competitive that it's just not worth it for most. Go onto the Mac app store, pick a category that Apple owns on its devices (so browsers against Safari for example) and see how many of the biggest ones are even available on the Mac App Store. None? That's not because they don't submit to the store, it's because some rejects them.

this! it's a radically different website, and has been through some really intense changes over the years, from the people, the methods of influencing the platform, and the platform's own position on the content and it's moderation.

Ah, millimetre wave, best known for allowing unqualified TSA staff to see through your clothes at airports.

Of course broad-area surface-penetrating surveillance is not what this technology is being rolled out for at all.

He closed down Vine, Periscope and Meerkat nearly a decade before TikTok made video cool! What a visionary...

are you in America? don't tell anyone. you'll be fired unfairly and your illness used against you.

Are you in a country with legal protections for workers? tell whoever you want, it can only help your happiness in your workplace. Employer won't be able to fire you and you should get additional support from govt etc.

you're forgetting the five thousand years of written, recorded history, culture, politics and societies that make up what China was and is. You're defining a country by it's state AFTER the effects of devastating colonial atrocities by everyone from Britain to Japan. And then ignoring how quickly China was able to rise to the very top of the global order from this place of poverty thanks to their commitment to their political system.

Today it is THAT business culture - currently infecting every corner of the world; inspiring billions and creating growth, wealth and infrastructure across the globe (not just into Western pockets). The manufactured US culture of Hollywood, the MSM, or Western social platforms is dying right now across the world. What comes next will not have a centre.

Onavo came with Facebook.

I bet they'll use Finland's old Air force logo, since it's so well known in the region.

"her" was a great movie.

obviously written by a westerner. outside the West, the unrestrained cruelty of capitalism; especially that at the end of the supply chain providing the vast majority of the things you need for Western civilization, keeps getting worse.

example; clean energy is a mantra in the West, but go to Goma in Congo, and you'll see the really dirty, human rights avoiding source of the metals essential for your batteries and electronic devices. Not one mention of this ongoing, daily brutality. it's just black people, so the West ignores it's crimes there for yours shiny future across the sea. but heaven forbid one of the people from there wants to come to the West. that's not allowed. Back to work, African...

I like going into t mobile stores and changing the loud TV channels to primitive technology. it's beautiful to see the whole place calm the fuck down.

Is this different to the "shadow profiles" we developed there in 2017 to map facebook and non-facebook users complete online personas for ad targeting, resurrections and algo personalisation?

Whenever some mainstream american outlet like Bloomberg says something is a conspiracy theory, I immediately err on the side of caution and assume that it actually IS a criminal conspiracy, and that there will be plenty of evidence within two years that turns this headline into another cautionary tale.

15 minute cities are a great idea if you are building a new city, not partitioning an existing urban landscape into monitored zones.
