The decline of American democracy.

"...which they believed event organizers issued in accordance with Tennessee laws restricting certain books in schools."
Legal worries, I'm guessing.

What are we talking about here? The Coke ad?

It's an unfortunately common, bullshit move politicians pull, just to have something to hang over each other's heads in order to get what they want. Unfortunately, that has become totally ok in the eyes of Republican voters because it's often the only way for their reps to force through budget items that would otherwise never make it.

Either Russia pays better or they're just holding out hope that being contrarian to Democrats, regardless of the issue, will win them another term.

Eh, more like Trekkies are techies. I would consider myself somewhat of a techie, definitely nerdy, and very much into sci-fi, but I really don't give a shit about Star Trek. I've seen a lot of it, just because I've had a couple girlfriends that really enjoyed it, but otherwise I probably wouldn't have watched any after my childhood.
Now, if HBO were to do a hard R version, I'd probably get into it.

This death is a tragedy. At the same time, I just don't care at this point, which is another tragedy. Israel has taken their revenge plot too far. They have turned the awful deaths of their people into the sad smoke of justification for a genocide that some of their citizens have been hoping and planning for. This is not the middle ages anymore. We know better. You know better. The fact that my government actively supports this breaks my heart all the more.

Killing people is apparently 100% legal in the US as long as you use a car to do it are politically connected. Same as 90% of other countries, unfortunately.

Well, fuck you too, Jeff.

Dude. This is 2023. I'm sure they've already got a translator app that flips the words for them.

They also fought against tighter regulation and labeling of organic and GMO products.

This shit is fucking terrifying.

It's one chicken Michael, what could it cost, $800?

"...the way we hear ourselves?"

Seriously. What a dick of a human being.

You really need to read more and gain yourself some perspective on the way corporations are now structured to drain any and all value from users/customers and funnel it to (mainly the majority) shareholders, using any tactics that they Believe they can legally get away with. This includes lobbying (re: bribery) for legislation and/or legal decisions that work in their favor.

Was it not her in the truck then? I thought the family had positively identified her by her tattoos.Though, you really can't see much of them in the video that went viral.

It really is. Etsy too.

Don't get a jeep! Ours developed a heart defect 2 weeks before we paid it off. Turns out, it's a known issue that Jeep just doesn't care about addressing because "loyal" owners will just replace it (meaning the whole engine), and often do.

This is actually what I expect the law enforcement NPCs in games like Thief and Cyberpunk to sound like.
