Once something’s out there, you can’t do anything to convince people of the opposite. I think Wakefield even got convicted for this as well.

I’m guessing they mean the cocoa.

Might be just someone wanting to highlight an architecture issue that allows someone to spam everyone.

It is showing that there’s a lot of work to be done to deal with the spam issue. It’s basically relying on every individual instance admin to moderate their stuff and defederate from other instances that drop the ball. If Lemmy gets big enough for spammers to really try to attack it, the admins will quickly get overwhelmed.

I guess it depends on the chain. If it’s an international chain profits would most likely go overseas. Best to just buy whatever you can from local small businesses, no point in swapping American multinational corporations with European ones.

They all have local bottling plants, including Coca Cola.

The government has unlimited money, they can easily do that. An employee that was fired unfairly doesn’t.

He probably read some conspiracy theory about it and wants to have some goon inspect it. Just like the whole Fort Knox thing.

The opposition needs to be more forceful about this kind of stuff. They’re always seemingly accepting the frame that you need to make cuts to fix the deficit (or even the frame that deficits altogether are bad), but never talking about how the wealthy aren’t contributing to the revenue part of things.

Biden made a good step by hiring a bunch of IRS personnel, but they barely talk about that, even now that Musk is firing these people in the name of ‘efficiency’, even though every dollar you put in the IRS gives you more than $2 in return.

They did manage to blow up a minister though.

From what I’ve seen, most of those studies involved using hormones and studying their effects on mice for various aspects. The Trump misdirection comes in where they assume that any use of hormones automatically means it’s about transitioning. Hormone therapy is used in a ton of other situations, like treating menopause, genetic conditions and whatever it is men take extra testosterone for. Obviously it’s important to know the risks and effects of hormone therapy for transitioning too, and that’s also part of why those studies were commissioned.

Ironically, if they hadn’t cancelled those studies and let them play out, and those studies found adverse effects, they’d be all over that shit.

Yeah, the perfect opportunity to try to impress Trump and Vance.

He pays some guy to do it, which is even sadder.

Yeah, Musk is just not micro managing enough. If he was on board he’d be able to fix any issues that come up in real time.

Sabotage, or the fact that the best rocket scientists probably don’t want to work for a Nazi on ketamine?

Civilisation forces you to make choices when building military units as well. You either invest some initial production in a factory or other production multipliers, or you queue up the units immediately but they’ll take longer to build.

It’s existential for Norway in a lot of ways. They border Russia and if Russia is allowed to get away with grabbing a chunk of Ukraine, they could be next.

And that horse is then given to an air hostess that was securely assaulted by Musk.

Always a good idea to tenderise your oligarchs before consumption.

It is like a shrunken cyber truck with better build quality.
