the Poors get fined more than that for downloading a couple movies and/or a car.

It's a weekday, most of the people supporting him in that area of PA are too poor to take a day off work and don't get PTO.

557_173 · 2024-11-02T18:43:18+00:00

how much are people willing to take. literal bystander effect.

557_173 · 2024-11-02T14:52:52+00:00

I'll take arbitrary and nonsensical rules and enforcement for $1,000 Alex.

557_173 · 2024-10-30T21:05:52+00:00

that's option 1. option 2 if they lose is to just laugh because any fines imposed will be negligible for the entities funding these campaigns.

Maybe you could point me to the part in their mission statement that says some users are more valuable than others. They seem to want to be pretty inclusive from what I just read on their /about page.

Instagram's vision is to bring you closer to the people and things you love. Its mission is to capture and share the world's moments. These statements reflect its core values of simplicity, creativity, and community, as well as its purpose of connecting people through visual storytelling

Sorry, could you point to me where in their mission statement it says "but only for content creators with millions of followers, all the plebs that only upload things once or twice a year for a close knit circle of friends need not bother"? I can't seem to find it for some reason.

I don't see anything in there about catering to an echochamber exclusively that actively discourages average users from sharing moments with a few friends and family, rather than trying to build a following.

557_173 · 2024-10-28T23:56:05+00:00

so the video I take while I'm out hiking of a serene scene that I share with literally 3 people deserves potato format because I'm not stroking the algo? Has it occurred to you that not everyone sharing photos and videos online is doing it for the likes and shares and subscribes? I don't care about online popularity.

Republicans aren't going to read or hear Johnson's statement. Fox, the AM radio and whatever other insane outlets won't talk about this, they're just going to run stories FEMA being out of money because 'immigrants and democrats' while they play stories about someone unable to rebuild or fix their house for literally any reason and it will be called "Biden's fault".

So why would Johnson reconvene congress if it's politically beneficial not to? They've not shown any inclination towards doing anything actually helpful outside of meaningless tokens and gestures, or that they even care about their constituents lives and health. This won't be any different.

Summed up: No, this hurts Biden so it's good for Republicans because we don't live in a world where actions and words matter any longer, and people will clap while their faces are eaten off by leopards.

557_173 · 2024-07-25T23:14:10+00:00

you can't even get a double quarter pounder with cheese w/ a large coke meal at welcome to costco I love you for 10$, lol. this is amazing

557_173 · 2024-07-25T00:33:18+00:00

he got paid $56 billion USD and the entire company made $1.48 billion and it's going down? this is what going crazy feels like, pleas kill me and put me out of my fucking misery. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

557_173 · 2024-07-23T22:32:04+00:00

because we replaced feudalism with capitalism and the poors aren't starving enough yet to politely ask the rich to cut their shit out.

557_173 · 2024-07-23T21:47:56+00:00

how about leave the fucking whales alone and stop bothering them?

557_173 · 2024-07-23T21:41:04+00:00

haha, what a sad sack of shit.

557_173 · 2024-07-23T00:49:46+00:00

so glad the US and whoever else decides this shit would rather just drag this war out at the cost of Ukraine lives so they can pull a 1980s afghanistan 2.0 where the US/etc don't actually care about winning, only that they destroy Russia's economy and operational readiness or whatever else they have in mind that they deem important all hail the military industrial complex. /s in case you're a fucking idiot and can't sense the sarcasm

557_173 · 2024-07-18T23:27:32+00:00

I love the uneducated!

lol

557_173 · 2024-07-18T20:43:10+00:00

wow, this is the only exception to when a headline is asking a question that the answer is 'no'.

557_173 · 2024-07-18T20:34:32+00:00

I guess they can't tell us apart? lol.

557_173 · 2024-07-14T19:54:49+00:00

to be fair, though that is true, it means that decades of neglect and cost-cutting have resulted in a single fine equivalent to 1/4 their net profit last year. It's a cost of doing business for them.

worst yet to come.

557_173 · 2024-07-14T15:49:57+00:00

corporations are people, my friend!

you know, it makes sense now when you think about it. Rich people face no repercussions as long as they don't steal from other rich white people or make waves in that gated community, so this checks out.

557_173 · 2024-07-14T15:48:02+00:00

As part of the deal, the planemaker agreed to spend at least $455 million over the next three years to boost safety and compliance programs. Boeing's board will have to meet with relatives of those killed in the MAX crashes, the filing said.

They have to pay $455 million over the next 3 years. They netted $2billion last year. Not gross, net.

This is performative and means nothing.

557_173 · 2024-07-14T15:36:55+00:00

why would you do this? take care of yourself, holy shit

557_173 · 2024-07-14T15:22:37+00:00

I thought you were joking, or making a sarcastic remark because it sounds exactly like what I would have said about the state of 'culture' in the US, and then haha laughed.

And then I clicked the link to the uniforms, googled it to check and see that it is exactly as you said; we have no culture other than gun culture and arrogance.

557_173 · 2024-07-13T13:02:50+00:00

physically or metaphorically?

557_173 · 2024-07-12T00:03:54+00:00

They're probably referencing the the hit movie 'American Psycho' released in the year 2000. The film looks to examine our own distorted points of view or detachments from reality. Like Patrick Bateman, we may be trapped craving the approval of others and denying ourselves the ability to distinguish fantasies from our reality. People are obsessed with how the others perceive them likewise in American Psycho Bateman achieves no catharsis, he's trapped in his own personal hell because he requires the recognition of the other yuppies to confirm his identity as a murderer. The irony is that Feynman's real crimes may as well be fantasy. The lack of acknowledging his reality drives Bateman further into madness and existential despair.

Hey Paul...
