  All men are created equal... Someone show me the last law that tried to control what white folk could do.

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 04 Oct, 2023 @ 05:15pm

  Perhaps the real reason for this is that they don't want citizens to know which centers do & don't help so they can do what the lawmaker in Ohio tried to do funneling state money & giving a tax credit to anyone who donated to some crisis pregnancy centers... that she just happened to own.

  These poor censored conservatives that I have to listen to on various websites, media programs, social media platforms all screaming how they are being censored...

• On the post: Google Accused Of Secretly Altering Search Queries To Drive More Ads And Sales

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 04 Oct, 2023 @ 05:05pm

  I do odd searches using the tricks and skills I learned by trial and error over time. Recently the results I am getting are insane, them trying to add in commercial terms would explain it. I've taken to using Yandex to search for things now, having to puzzle out Russian is preferable to Googling. Also look at the changes to image searching, trying to sell you the clothing in the image when you are just trying to locate the source & the pages to do that are mostly useless.

  I miss when people in power weren't allowed to have their own realities. When the media would actually do their job & report that there are NOT 5.5 million demon clowns appearing to murder children, that there aren't trillions of razor blade found in apples (Because honestly who the fuck thinks a kid wants to eat an apple for halloween???) We can not make good decisions based on bad "facts". Perhaps it is time someone explain in detail what the satanic panic actually was, how it never actually happened, how idiots ruined peoples lives & still harass them to this day. Lawmakers need to start showing their work on a separate page & maybe just maybe if their source is 'it was revealed to me in a vision' we shouldn't consider it.

  Now we're going to see sats turned over to the lowest bidder to get deorbited and see them skipping off the atmosphere making it worse.

  No. No, no no nono.... You do NOT get to put the bullshit ISP caps on fscking streaming. Sorry they paid way to much money to acquire a thing, but not this one part of the thing, so they can churn out a bunch of horrible web optimized content designed to cash in on a fandom they really don't know or care anything about.

  So thats why they are letting the bots run free, so they can count the time it takes me to block each one of them and try to get better ad rates for that random handmaidens tale looking womans pickle business.

  How to slash your income with 1 simple trick.... Suddenly introduce advertisement & tell people well you can just pay us more to avoid the ads. Prime isn't the deal it once was, and with the nickel and dime brigade looking to make wall street another few pennies this won't be the last time they decide to add (we need a word for features that explains its not a fucking feature but just a way to try and suck more cash from long term users thinking they'll just pony up) another revenue stream thats only going to serve to to harm the bottom line in the end. Whats going to be amazing is amazon suddenly waking up to discover they managed to kill off everything consumers liked & wanted and they have to fight to get them back but consumers aren't liable to forgive.

• On the post: Court: Lawsuit Can Continue Against Library That Moved All LGBTQ Children’s Books To The Adult Section

  

  That Anonymous Coward ( profile ), 21 Sep, 2023 @ 11:05pm

  This is a really odd take on Jesus loves everyone. His followers seem to think that they are empowered with the right to dictate how all others live their lives. These same people screamed when we took jeebus out of the schools, but its perfectly fine to remove any mention of teh gays. These people have an ancient anamatronic reading a rather timid depiction of gay sex in Congress to scream how horrible it is, yet their good book has that whole 'Lets get Daddy drunk and have him knock us up!' but thats fine. Abortion is a horrible sin to them & that means no one have have one, but they do nothing to those who belong to the fold who have murdered their unborn out of wedlock children with smoothies. More people than needed to died because these idiots claim their god forbids them from having a life saving vaccine. Hospitals are being shut down by these assholes calling in bomb threats & blocking the streets because only THEY have the right to decide what care others can have. At what point is SCOTUS going to finally decide to protect the rest of us from these religious zealots who want to destroy the idea of freedom and personal determination & replace it with their hollow claims of holiness while they are doing much worse than those they claim are evil sinners? Thousands of children in this country have been abused by religious leaders. These leaders were protected by their churches & their flock for decades. Yet somehow we are supposed to trust their claims that Drag is always sexual and inappropriate when they keep handing children to those who have a much larger history of molesting kids. Tired of them trying to bring the Dark Ages back, we need to remind them that their beliefs are their beliefs and they have no right or mandate to impose it on everyone else... thats the sort of shit the Taliban does and these assholes keep pretending that isn't what they have become. Different book of fairy tales, but the same results. Now with added bodycounts for people facing actual persecution for merely existing while casting themselves as the real victims because they can't force everyone to be white straight and evangelical.

  I hope that newly minted lawyer who filed this didn't burn the bridge and can go back to flipping burgers b/c his law career is done.

  At some point perhaps it is time to look past the image of the thing & see how rotten it has gotten inside & do something about it. I mean I think the White House is great and all, but lets be honest millions are being poured into a building to keep the image going even as it no longer serves its purpose well. Oh the past, what it stands for, blah blah blah, we're dumping stupid amounts of cash into a building that is long past being useful to prop up an image in your heads that is far different from reality. The legal system is broken at so many different levels, and no one wants to consider doing anything about it. 1 fucking judge in the armpit of TX can hold the entire nation hostage on if the FDA had the authority to approve a drug or not, while he actively lied during his confirmation and hid evidence that might have called into question his ability to be impartial. (Like we needed more evidence he has his own agenda he is willing to pervert the law to force upon everyone else). It is long past time we admit that these unassailable pillars of law, order, justice have fallen victim to mans inability to be incorruptible.

  She seems nice & like she should have a weapon & the right to claim they were scared as to why they emptied the clip into a granny with a walker.

  Now think of the generics as IP going into the public domain... You can just rererelease an album, call it remastered and hey you have a brand new copyright on music recorded by someone over 100 yrs ago. While they are feeling like they should do their job perhaps they should address the massive price gouging happening when some douche acquires a needed medicine thats cheap to make but then raise the price by 3000% to screw the few who have no other option but die/suffer without it.

  Still waiting for an answer to the question of whats the punishment for lying... They claim he self reported the recording long before it broke in the paper... but the internal documents & other records indicate he lied about that. Not a good look when you lie about facts when you're charged with investigating and reporting the facts impartially.
