I’m so, so sick of these comments every time some shady shit is uncovered. “How could no one else see this, you’re all so stupid, I knew from the very first ad!”
Yes yes, you’re mommy’s special little genius, despite conspicuously absent comments from that time…

When people talk about runaway capitalism, this is a good example. I tried to watch something on Amazon Prime because I had briefly subscribed to it. No lie: six commercials before it started, and ad breaks throughout! This was on a service that I was paying for! Enshittification in full effect. Fuck these giant, greedy corporations, too much revenue will never be enough…
It’s a lot easier and cheaper to replace a small device (Roku, Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, Fire Stick, XBMC box, computer, etc) than it is your entire TV. Once you connect and update your TV, I don’t think you can choose to downgrade it later…
That comment is incorrect, at least for current model. Source: Samsung TV is not connected to the internet.
It’s like when I make it rain or snow by washing my vehicle! I’m giving you part of the credit for it being future-focused…
Yeah, I saw that! Definitely good news. In our modern world, connectivity is necessary, and unilaterally harming people should be investigated and punished.
Making Canada the 51st state would make it the largest continental one, usurping Texas. While I wouldn’t support the idea seriously, triggering maga Texans with the idea is hilarious.
…or malicious autocratic countries.
Well, Russia now has the attention of the alliance. I don’t think they’ll be happy about that…
Those aren’t related. They all magically got their obscene wealth they definitely deserve from the eather, not from the Working Class…
I hope they have evidence of communication with Russia, but I doubt it. That’s really the only possible evidence that could be found of a vessel dragging their anchor, other than maybe excessive wear of the anchor and related hardware?
EDIT: Well, I was wrong!
It’s still wild to me that much of the country won the barest of minimum healthcare standards (compared to other modern nations) just because one Republican had the smallest bit of morality and broke the tie with a ‘yes’ vote, putting the ACA into effect and earning Obama and McCain eternal hatred for their troubles. We are truly lost…
Whataboutists can fuck all the way off with their bad-faith “arguments”…

A major union head went on Tucker Carlson’s podcast… gross. Harris could have done more to appeal to workers, but this dude can’t paint himself as a neutral politically-impartial leader!
That doesn’t count. That’s outside the environment.
“Even if every single one of them is verifiably 18 or older, you still have to confront the issue that OnlyFans is profiting from the sexual portrayal of women who appear to be underage.”
I disagree. #NotMyJam & I don’t subscribe to OnlyFans, but this guy comes across as a prude with massive hangups. I do think we should err on the side of caution and have a zero-tolerance policy on content that features or depicts underage subjects.
BUT. If 18 (in the US) is the law and the socially-agreed age of consent, that should be the end of it. You can’t get mad at images of short, petite-framed women, or schoolgirl-kink images of verifiably legal age just because you don’t like the content. I think OF uses AI to automatically flag potential CSAM for manual review as well as working with law enforcement and advocacy groups. While nothing is perfect and even a single sex-trafficked person is too many and all perpetrators should be brought to justice, I think that’s a good system because it minimizes potential abuse. It’s also one of the few good uses of AI because it limits those exposed to the material. But I don’t think you can say OF chooses to profit off illegal material or enable it. And saying what legal material is allowed on someone else’s platform is just puritanical.
Lol, “access your data” is a little different from “overwrite cookies, now sending all promised creator revenue to Honey”. Also, it found discounts, but stores had full control over how much, and even if it didn’t give you a discount, it still claimed all referral revenue… Don’t act like that was all obvious, intuitive, and known by you, it wasn’t.
