OfCourseNot

Can you not? Is that an android thing or an America thing?

Be the change you wish to see in the world! Just fork loops , add data collection, trackers, and whatever backdoor the government asks you and call it something like ‘Innit!’. Simple as.

Because people are still paying it. That’s how you set the price of things. If people are paying 70k why would you sell it cheaper?

So the bad guys here are the ones preventing others to use their research… right?

Don’t be fooled, taxes are just a way to extract the fruit of the poor folks’ labor and give it to the rich and powerful. Always have been, since their inception. Not just in America, here in the (highly idealized by lemmy) EU I cost my company 3200€ a month, 1850€ go to my bank account and 1350€ to the government, plus up to a 21% vat from the things I purchase. Amazon pays literally 0€ in taxes.

I always thought that about Jessica Fletcher. Too many people dying around that woman.

The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election

How would you propose to do that while also offering said party an unconditional vote? I’m not American, but if you have an answer it would be useful here too. Parliamentary systems end up pretty much the same.

Right? It’s just a shiny conductive plastic.

It depends. How dark is the kid’s skin? Are they in a poor neighborhood?

There is, or was, tho.

You are just rejecting reality then. You’ve said YouTube or other big social media to be the ‘virtual town squares’ but they are not, they are virtual malls. Also real life town squares can have rules imposed by the town council too.

They have plenty of other places to go with their content, some platforms aren’t for them and that’s ok. But they don’t want to express themselves shouting from a soapbox in the town square, they want to sell their content in the mall and these particular malls just don’t sell that kind of product.

I don’t think freedoms are opposed here. Creators have the freedom to express themselves that freedom just doesn’t force anyone to give them a platform. They can use their own or another one that’s willing to host their content, which there are many, and then if they, creators or platform, are legally punished it would be a violation of their freedom of expression.

There is not a fundamental right to use other people’s platform for your expression. That’s not what freedom of expression means.

I think the other commenter was talking about the lady in the picture.
The song is a popular song a bit older than great big sea. Edit: the song starts at ~1:09

Eu! Du ju habe a leucence fur dat neuf mait!?

This is a fuse box, with a flathead you should be able to open it and/or pull a small tray with the fuse itself inside. You Brits do your electrical wiring with ring-shaped circuits and put a fuse in every outlet.

This kind of outlet is intended for things you don’t unplug and a socket doesn’t make sense, usually boilers, ovens, stoves, ACs, alarm systems as already commented…

Or the pg tips approach: ‘d’ya know what? No more tag or thread for ya now you’ve got to fish and pinch the baggy out of your scolding tea ya wanker’.

And that the things they eat are the result of natural selection only.

Yeah maybe not even non-standard as much as non-formal in this case.

I wanted to mean ‘different from what you learn in English class in school as a kid’ so non-formal, non -standard, dialectal, slang, misspellings, same-sounding words…

More or less my point, languages are weird with lots of arbitrary idiomatic things—‘would rather’ but ‘had better’.

After posting the comment I’ve thought ‘wait, it makes more sense for it to be should’ so my guesses are a bit off today.
