Neat, a potential FCC violation. I don't know if this violates the advertisement disclosure requirement for political ads, but I bet someone at the FCC does.

Feeling cute, thought I'd submit a possible violation to the FCC, might submit more later, idk

Nice, tried the link and they couldn't even set up https. Their target base won't even be able to type that link out lol.

[-] ccdfa@lemm.ee 47 points 2 years ago

One random thing that really annoys me is that the site http://shakespeare.mit.edu does not properly forward http requests to https although they have an https version of the site.

[-] baatliwala@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

Funniest thing I've ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow... No they don't.

Conservatives: "STOP MAKING EVERYTHING POLITICAL"

I went hiking recently. State park, at least a mile from the campground, peaceful and quiet.

Then I noticed something scrawled on one of the trail markers. Some dipshit wrote "Fuck Joe Biden" on it.

Holy shit, how miserable do you have to be to do that? To carry a marker and tag a tree just to express how you can't stop thinking about the guy, and make it other people's problem, even in the middle of nowhere when you're not even around.

That yellowing of Tesla screens is some bullshit

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 125 points 2 years ago

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 88 points 2 years ago

A Tesla bro to come in and tell you how you’re wrong.

The link redirects to an Americans for prosperity form, hosted on an domain hosted by the i-360 political data platform. And also...

"Americans for Prosperity (AFP), founded in 2004, is a libertarian conservative political advocacy group in the United States affiliated with brothers Charles Koch and the late David Koch.[6] As the Koch family's primary political advocacy group, it is one of the most influential American conservative organizations.[7][8]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_for_Prosperity#:~:text=Americans%20for%20Prosperity%20(,%5B7%5D%5B8%5D

I wonder what that mushbrain even thinks "Bidenomics" is, like the government's been doing anything that isn't basic capitalist theory.

[-] kttnpunk@lemmy.world 59 points 2 years ago

I've been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it...

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 65 points 2 years ago

That's because a great deal of it is owned by Sinclair, and they love putting right-wing messages on their radio and TV stations in one form or another.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

Oh yes Sinclair Media the only company that could make Clear Channel(I Heart Media) look like the good guys

Your screen looks really dirty.

There was probably a dog within a 2 mile radius.

[-] Yuper@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago

Usually about 2 feet radius. I am rarely in the car without him.

It wasn't from some stupid commercial?

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. I've seen websites on my car display that match up with the commercial that's playing. If that website paid for ad time, then there's nothing shady going on here. Well, no more shady than any other advertising.

[-] Yuper@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

They have different metadata during regular commercials. And doing metadata during songs. This only shows up when the “DJ” is speaking.

Bidenomics has been a disaster. Things are not as rosy as they claim.

[-] 520@kbin.social 91 points 2 years ago

No, things aren't rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Things are honestly pretty fuckin rosy in the greater context of what could have happened

Just wait until you learn who cranked the interest rates down to nothing and handed a bunch of free money to the rich at a time when supply chains were almost completely shut down during the pandemic...

[-] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago

I feel like that doesn't get discussed enough. The supplements provided under trump hindered way more than they helped. Might I remind you that those were promised and then delayed because Trump wanted his fucking name printed on the checks. Outside of that, the paycheck protection program was a disaster! So many companies took advantage of that while shitting all over the employees that that was supposed to help. All the while, mom and pop shops and other local places got shafted because the mega corporations tapped the fund. Then it all got forgiven?? You've got what is essentially neutered unemployment benefits performed solely to act as a clout grab, and you've got hyper inflation into the absolute wrong end of the scale of where it should go. More people focus on the former instead of the latter like the latter never happened.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

Everyone knows it was all bullshit but try to remember nearly every day of all four years of Trump's presidency, and months prior campaigning, were filled to the brim with bullshit. Many people, myself included, just gave up on politics for a while after he lost to Biden just to try and stay mildly sane.
