Because it’s extremely limited in scope with a corresponding duty to retreat or because there aren’t enough black people for racists to be scared of?

So white someone will make a trending post on a Linux memes community about “coonfigers” and no one has a problem with it.

Honestly looks like it sailed right over everyone’s head too. I guess that’s a good thing?

There’s a reason you couldn’t actually talk about the ARPU, and that’s because an American user is worth literally 7x more than a Chinese user on average. Which is why TikTok had a revenue of 16.1b in 2023, with a growing user base, and ByteDance’s total revenue was 40.8b.

Bullshit, they’re bluffing at best.

Average revenue per user is a pretty common industry benchmark, and the US absolutely slaughters the rest of the world. We’re the fat, dumb, brainwashed cows the advertisers can’t get enough of.

Is that really justified, or an example of selection bias?

Does it matter to a shareholder?

Lmao

Just among so many other things, like the lead poisoned baby food from March this year, you clown, the FDA was established in 1906, and Republicans are, right now, trying to abolish child labor laws and hiring 12 year olds in meat packing plants.

Sure, but I don’t think anyone is accusing Trump of being behind a flouridation conspiracy. It demonstrates rather that angry morons are rather easy to point at the government, which is why the government probably doesn’t want a bunch of angry morons to rule.

Funnily enough, the idiots do have a grain a truth here, that grain just happens to be an example of the internet’s favorite, Dunning-Kruger.

Excess flouride does have profound negative effects on intelligence. Several hundreds times the levels you get positive effects for tooth health from, and thus well beyond the scope of flouridation programs. There are also other notable side effects from flouride toxicity, so it’d be quite noticable.

There are even several regions of America and China where they need deflouridation treatments for ground water, but the conspiracy types never seem to mention those.

They also don’t seem to note that flouride toxicity, like lead toxicity, leads to both decreased intelligence and increased aggression.

How making the working class angry and dumb makes them easier for the owner class to control and profit from never seems to come up.

Oh, which one? Because there were six.

Funnily enough, the DA decided that Baldwin wasn’t actually doing anything as one of them, which I don’t think should be a surprise to people familiar with the idea of celebrity producers.

Ironically enough, there’s some actual McCarthyism going on in here.

If you post a comment to a Lemmy instance, are you using Lemmy?

Treating Asian culture or people as a particular stereotype.

One of their mods banned me for pointing out that Chiang Kai-Shek genocided the communists in China before the Long March. Sometimes they hurt themselves in their confusion.

Lmao, yeah, thank the well known liberals and liberals only, like MLK and Malcolm X, for civil rights they were forced to acknowledge or face race riots.

Definitely wasn’t the liberal establishment that assassinated them either. And liberal is the opposite of conservative btw 🤣

Can’t wait for the liberals in power to try and expand the surveillance state using this as a pretext.

If there’s one thing that makes me put on the tinfoil hat for US politics, it’s how many self defeating takes that the Democrats trot out in election season.

“Hey we need to win over at least some of the rural and suburban votes”

“Hmmm… How about some gun control laws that the Supreme Court won’t even have to be bribed to overturn? Maybe with a little taste of police state?”

It’s even worse than horseshoe. Stop trying to assign point values to tyranny.

I guess they don’t realize GOG is DRM free as part of their business model?

Probably because they think DRM=anti pirate and not “You don’t actually own this”

Friends don’t make friends install chat apps (besides Signal)

Are you claiming that Victorian England could take modern America in a fight?

Imagine being some art history dork and your grand contribution to humanity being making some rich dude richer
