So if I send it to people who aren't you... it's okay?

I assume they are on Lemmy.

Good job, guys.

When you threw Mankind off the top of the cage at Hell in the Cell?

So the homeless should be exploited for illegally low wages (a form of slavery) just like we treat certain immigrants?

If your advice to people to help them get out of homelessness is to allow themselves to enter a slave market, you are part of the problem.

There are probably a lot of people you love who require healthcare who are depending on that can being kicked further down the road until you have an alternative.

I personally think we can support Palestine without throwing our trans and gay populations, our immigrants, and our leftists to the wolves.

I would personally reject this deal.

The Palestinian people do not deserve to live under the rule of Hamas. In 19 years of living under Hamas, after all the money given to them by the US, France, the UK, Qatar, Iran, and even Israel, the only thing they built for the Palestinian people has been tunnels to commit terrorism from.

I once had a Republican tell me he was, "black woke, not trans woke."

I told him I didn't know what that meant, and he said, "I don't hate people for who they are, but people can't just be whatever they want to be."

Cue the Nathan Fielder meme of him just saying, "oh... Okay."

Good.

Let's go further. Any company using an algorithm to profit off people's engagement has to publish the code.

...English is only 30% or so French, and essentially just adjectives. Take out adjectives and we are German babies.

No, Coldplay was incredibly well liked for close to a decade. The backlash against them really didn't develop until 2007/2008 when it was discovered they straight up stole a song.

Viva LA Vida was already sort of their abandonment of adult contemporary for a top 40 sound, and of course, it was released when I heart (then clear channel) was shutting down all the adult contemporary stations, so the pivot was going to happen regardless of whether they got caught or not, but it is interesting to note that their top hits since that happened have largely been written by others.

Nowadays, maroon 5 and coldplay are essentially the same band, its just a matter of who pays Max Martin more for the better song at album roll out time.

We should give a famous painter a show where we don't allow them to paint, just ask for their unqualified opinions on literally anything.

People acting more terrified at the loss of tik tok from their lives than they did during covid, while losing people from their lives.

Tik tok might as well just change their name to empathy box, because they have convinced their users that the act of watching content on empathy box makes them more moral and politically aware than the rest of us.

At the end of the day, we have to be nervous when a foreign nation has content reach to 80℅ of Americans. This foreign nation is banning Americans from accusing it of genocide while allowing an economic incentive for Americans to accuse themselves and everybody else of doing it.

Deep down, every one of us knows tik tok is a power nobody can or should be trusted with.
