Posting it without comment or indication that it's misleading is treating it as reliable, or at least as reliable as any other news article posted here.

Obviously Trump is a fire hose of bullshit that is not shy about spewing bullshit, but if you just drop stuff here without comment we have no choice but to assume that it should be given the same weight as any other article. 'Do your homework' applies to both the poster and the reader.

Seems like that's a good time to go 'Oh, maybe we should change it to say 11 then'.

Unless there are 3 of them hiding behind that machine, that looks like 11 to me?

Nah, it's more that the answer to 'why is doing this?' is virtually always 'because money'. People forget that sometimes.

It's weird to juggle anywhere, but you shouldn't let that stop you cause everybody's weird in some way or another and that's fine. A park seems like as good a place as any.

Because The Guardian is using the article written by The Guardian about what good people The Guardian are to raise money for The Guardian. :P

Funny how every time anyone talks about replacing capitalism everybody trots out the examples of innovation and competition as things we would lose. Meanwhile capitalists are over here doing their level best to sabotage innovation and buy or legislate their way out of competition so they can remain complacent in their dominant market position. 'Won't someone please think of the billionaires' is wearing kinda thin when they're actively undermining the purported benefits of their wanton exploitation and delivering nothing but stagnation and enshittification.

I'm gonna guess a whole lot of flustered backpedaling amounting to not a lot of anything, but I'm willing to be surprised if someone wants to dig up the video.

Yeah, what's a little authoritarianism between friends?

I got caught stealing cigarettes.

I was like 16 I think and a delinquent to be sure, but not a very smart one. I was out of smokes and went to the grocery store to get more, grabbed a pack off the shelf, then realized the woman who usually kept an eye on the smokes wasn't around so I started eyeing those cartons. I shoved 4 of those fucking things into my jacket, it was so obvious it was funny, and naturally they caught me on the way out and called the police.

I was also drunk at the time (listen, it was the 80s, it was a different time..) so I ended up having to take some bullshit 6 week class and go to AA meetings for 3 months which sucked, but by far the worst was when the police walked me up to the house and it was clear that they had already talked to mom cause man she was pissed. I don't even remember what the punishment was, but instead of yelling at me or lecturing and guilt-tripping me she just sat there not even looking at or talking to me for like an hour, and that was the worst.

...and still be a billionaire.

Why should oligarchs get to decide where the proceeds of their exploitation get spent?

Sorry, are we under the impression that Israel after killing north of 50,000 people, most of whom are children, is in any way civilized? I guess that's what delusion will do for you.
