Yeah… I’m not gonna put that kinda message out there I don’t want to encourage people

It sounds more old fashioned every year. What does “your welcome” even mean. No problem makes more sense and feels more natural

The story seems to be referencing the first time apple had regular people try it which may have been in a focus group or at some kind of publicity event. If this did happen I’m sure they made safeguards against it before selling it

USA doesn’t give a fuck about other countries sovereignty when it goes murdering across the globe

Yes it’s about power. And the powerful use racism to get or keep power. So it’s about both.

Any app or any business that is being largely impacted by legislation will ask their customers to push for a favorable outcome. I’ve seen American businesses ask their customers to call Congress about one thing or another a bunch of times. This isn’t “nefarious” or “hijacking a platform” it’s normal business behavior

Manufacturing genocidal sentiment. Death to america

Don’t eat. Or eat only a small amount right when you wake up. Also no caffeine or sugary drink and maybe take nyquil

Wtf is jesus waiting for it’s been 2000 years

Yeah why negotiate now while we still have hundreds of thousands of lives to throw into the meat grinder.

Heavens to Betsy sigh

Every lib’s real values: white people invaded=the good guys

Brown/Black people invaded=it’s complicated

Do you have a rebuttal to the argument or are you just trolling?

american healthcare will continue to suck as long as politicians are friends instead of enemies of private health insurance. as long as both parties are on the payroll of big insurance we’re all getting screwed

Would medicare for all be a good next step to push for? Are any progressive politicians putting forth a viable plan for getting us closer to universal healthcare?

I don’t understand how that addresses campaign finance.

Even under socialism it will still be essential for the people to keep a close eye on their chosen representatives (and also other leaders such as those in the leading revolutionary party), but it will no longer be virtually impossible for those representatives to truly represent the interests of the people

How will these representatives be chosen? Well they be able to campaign and will there be a limit to how much they can spend on a campaign?

If direct democracy is what you’re advocating, how can that work? Does every citizen have to spend an hour reading legislation every day then vote through an app on their phone?

What is the ideal way to deal with campaign finance?

What was meant to be step 2?

I think the only disconnect we have is that I think different people will take this story in different ways. Some of the people in this thread I think are in the minority that is very worried about covid and the real effects its having on them or their loved ones and to them this article isn’t sensationalist.

Generally I agree with you though, most people will take an article like this as proof that the media is always full of shit and fearmongering for money and that feeling isn’t unfounded.

I think that as long as its still spreading pretty regularly, which it is, I know its not the same as in 2022 but there is still spread happening in lots of places. As long as thats happening theres a chance of mutation and if someone with a bad mutation goes to an airport or a sports event that could trigger a surge at any moment. Its impossible to predict this stuff so I understand being skeptical of headlines especially because media always fucks up science stories. But like I said with the spread and mutations happening we don’t know when but its likely that there will be spikes or surges at some point and that means preventable deaths and thats bad. Its not as bad as we’ve seen before but still bad.
