Yeah, fairness doctrine is shit. I would prefer a law where when a media source deliberately spreads misinformation, the must provide equal time and visibility for an approved retraction.

So when fox had all those assholes come on and talk about how migrants were eating all the cats and dogs, based on one the Twitter post recounting the story of a friends daughter's friend's temporarily missing cat, they should have had to run equal time segments on the same channels and local stations admitting that they failed a basic journalistic test to question the validity of that info, and that after further investigation it appears to be blatantly false.

USA is collapsing, and best we can do now is hope for a better future in its ashes.

Buddy, look at who are the other major players right now. Russia, China, and the EU. If you think for for a hot second that whatever rises out of this fire is going to be better, have I got news for you.

They seem to be more common in EVs, so if you want to make a statement on the CT youcompare it to other EV trucks and if you spot a difference, THEN you can make the case about the CT being unsafe.

You literally couldn't be more wrong.

Anyone who looks at what is going on in the US and says "that's a functional democracy that we should emulate" should be blocked from holding any office forever.

The article does a pretty good job. They got CVS length receipts for this.

Quick clarification...

Buffalo will fucking kill you.

Bison will also kill you, but they live in North America.

Let's not make the inevitable mistake of assuming what was an essential skill for one generation is going to matter fuck all for most of the next generation.

Old people still think it's outageous if you can write a check, read an analog clock, read/write cursive... All things that most millennials might "need" to do less than once a year.

Right? Reading about European history, and that shit goes back to year 0 or further. Read American history, and it starts in the late 1400s... And that ought to tell you something real important right there.

Well, I honestly think that two people with different skill sets and experience can have a 100x difference in productivity. I then multiplied that value by 10x to appease people who really really really think they deserve it.

Why do you think 50x is the right number, out of curiosity?
