That’s the People’s Toothbrush!

Strong “I can fix him” energy out there.

The Atlantic is just sophisticated propaganda for elites.

I’m honestly wondering how many Lemmy nodes are out there vote-bombing topics like this. It would be the easiest thing in the world to do.

Any limit would be an improvement, even 10 or 20 years.

Oakland is a great city, and doesn’t deserve all the slander it gets. It’s just the far right spreading fear and hatred by attacking anyone who doesn’t share their politics or skin color.

Reminds me of Charlie Kirk recently talking to a Berkeley grad and interrupting her to say “Berkeley is a slum, it’s a hellhole” or something to that effect. It’s so comically stupid, but as a Berkeley resident for 20+ years, I hope he keeps it up because it (hopefully) scares away other hateful idiots like him.

In “safe” states like California, where Trump will never win, we can vote third party as a protest vote without worrying that we’ll help Trump get elected.

In states with a very thin margin (“swing” states), fewer votes for Biden could very well mean Trump winning that state.

Why not? They can only go up in value!

To paraphrase the great Malcolm Tucker, it’s like watching a clown running across a minefield.

If you click the article link, then use a process called “reading”, you would see:

The company has already launched similar services abroad in Egypt, Nigeria, and India. Now it’s bringing the concept to the United States.

Edit: I misunderstood and assumed he hadn’t read the article, which is entirely too common these days.

It most likely will be better initially, if for no other reason than they need to strongly differentiate themselves from Google (and Bing and DDG). I’m just not very optimistic for the long-term outlook in these times of “profit uber alles”. I’d love to be wrong.

It’s no surprise that “free” search funded through advertising led to this. The economic incentives were always going to lead us to the pay-to-win enshittification that we see today.

Paid search might look better initially, but a for-profit model will eventually lead to the same results. It might manifest differently, maybe through backroom deals they never talk about, but you’d better believe there will always be more profit to be made through such deals than through subscription fees.

You’re 40, you’re a child in both in age and mentality.

I’m so far left that young leftists think I’m too extreme

Sure you are, champ.

they call be right wing for disagreeing with every tiny thing they say

You’re so close to a moment of self-awareness, and yet so far.

The people in charge are either landlords themselves or on the side of the landlords, so this is will never happen without a massive political paradigm shift.

Yeaaah, I’m gonna need you to go ahead and come in every day of the week from now on, mmkay? Thanks!

He is, in fact, saying “nuke Gaza”, just in a way that allows him to deny it.
