You’re always breathing in molecules that were just inside other people when you’re in public, even if they’re not in a visible cloud.

He’s barely coherent because he’s Trump, not because he’s 78.

How so? Even if it’s a no-profit, PBS is still a business. Even though they are operated like one in the US, political parties are not supposed to be businesses.

There is no need for official political merch anyway, it’s not a band or a sports team. I don’t mind if people or associations make and wear them, bit why does a political party need to sell stuff?

Just saying what I feel it reads like, since you said you were wondering why the downvotes.

Because you’re confusing weather and climate. It’s not that “the globe is warming yet it’s cold here”, it’s cold and shitty exactly because of climate change.

Weather getting ever odder you say? Hmmm

I’m sure he’s devastated.

Based on? Lmao

How though? With nasty posts on the interwebs?

A $13 billion fine does not look like a “cost of doing business” scenario to me.

European law generally isn’t precedent-based, but the commission already put out a statement saying that “pay-or-okay” models are not GDPR compliant. https://www.edpb.europa.eu/system/files/2024-04/edpb_opinion_202408_consentorpay_en.pdf

“In case a gatekeeper does not comply with the obligations laid out in the DMA, the Commission can impose fines up to 10% of the company’s total worldwide turnover, which can go up to 20% in case of repeated infringement.”

Sure the AI can break it down for the humans

Depends on who built the model, and the selection of the data used to train it. AI holds a lot of potential in my book, if you use it right. But never stop being critical of the answers you receive, and be aware of they work and their shortcomings

Maybe they could never see the actual pharaoh, but what I’m saying is that “The Pharaoh” was itself the “face” of power, and also where power and influence actually resided. Now we have surveillance and propaganda perpetuated by either known but opaque actors (e.g. governmental agencies, corporations) or simply unknown ones. You can believe or not in an international “elite” conspiracy, but by that I also mean random teen hacker groups, data brokers, gov agencies of nations other than the one you live in, etc.

History does not only repeat, and simply looking at the past can make you blind to the novel ways society has transformed. For example, oppression has been a constant throughout history, but it never has been as faceless as it is today. Lords and kings have been replaced by corporations and agencies operating across borders, in ways and with purposes that I don’t think anyone who’s not actually involved with can claim they fully understand.
