It's Ireland. Europe generally has higher expectations of the behavior of companies. The 'unapologetic and robotic' style of communication is very American. It literally costs nothing to be a bit kinder. They spend a fortune

That sucks, I just watched him on the One Bad Movie podcast. He had a great story about Pacino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjth0fhAhSI

I guess someone thought a David Lynch museum wouldn’t generate as much revenue as an auction. Sad to see.

I pity those who missed out on those tech golden decades of the 80's and 90's. The very idea of email was revolutionary. Getting news on demand while others waited for newspaper deliveries or set time TV shows was thrilling. This

So what where all those hot take pieces from the media saying that Musk was dragging Tesla down? Propaganda?

The legacy media is not dying off with its dignity intact, if it even had any to begin with. DYK that direct advertising of prescription drugs to consumers in only legal in the US and New Zealand?

India has the right and ability to stop foreign propaganda. Most countries do. Except the US apparently.

I watched the documentary. It was terribly low quality, filled with rumors and hearsay, and featured once prominent UK politicians and BBC newscasters. It truly stunk of British propaganda. Not surprising for the BBC.

What happened to ‘innocent until proven guilty’? Are mere allegations enough to lose your job?

Why is this a surprise to the author? At no point in the history of social media has anything been organic. They are fully controlled, for-profit, social manipulation/propaganda ecosystems.

Add that to the list of corporate doublespeak from Twitter, like ‘we don’t shadow ban’ or ‘we have no political bias’.

So it looks like animal charities are out then. A local shelter was my chosen charity. Saying that, I only generated $70 of donations with 300 orders so it wasn't much, but every little helps. The fact that they're axing this at a

“diversity training is likely the most expensive, and least effective, diversity program around.” The whole entire social justice movement has been a massive scam.

Transgender identities rely on society simply believing that they exist, as there is no scientific proof of someone being ‘transgender’. The same goes to transracial and transspecies. We’re supposed to just be nice and accept everything eve

I don't supplement and have been vegan for a decade, and a vegetarian for 5 years before that. My yearly blood tests show everything has been fine since day one. I eat what most people do, just the vegan version. Luckily plant-based me

I fail to see how owning a $6000 Leica 'limits' anyone, aside from your bank account. Part of me is happy that the photography industry has been disrupted by the quality cameras in cellphones these days.

Back in the 90s I knew people who would take temp jobs at Equifax then wipe their bad credit scores/history before being caught and fired. Apparently Equifax had no way of restoring the data. Amazing.

Another point scored by conspiracy theorists who have been saying for years that the lack of regulation in crypto is deliberately to allow for a push of digital currency and then Chinese-style social credit systems.

I use Roku but opt for an external box that can be replaced or upgraded, as opposed to a built in TV. I had one TV with built-in Roku and it was fine for a few months until it slowed to an absolute crawl. Nothing could fix it. Ended up plug

Common sense dictates that if you make hard drugs safer then more people will try them. For heroin, overdoses coke with the territory, as larger doses are required for a high as time progresses. People are on their own journeys. We don’t ha

The internet is already dead. I have maybe 3 websites I visit these days. So much potential wasted by corporate greed.

If they go out of their way avoid saying it’s vegan then I won’t waste my time on it as it may not actually be vegan, despite the listed ingredients. It’s suspicious.
