In much the same way that Confederate memorabilia is collectable.

As in, “You should avoid anyone who collects this shit. They’re probably a white nationalist.”

Because most Americans have knee-jerk reactions to labels as opposed to policies. Like how everyone supports all the protections Obamacare provides, but how they all want to get rid of Obamacare.

Nah, it’s just changed from

Phenylephrine is back on the menu, boys!

Counterpoint: the fact that the moral “don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs” even exists is proof that people are indeed greedy and/or stupid enough to do that very thing.

Oh, I see.

You think this is a “politicians don’t understand the tech they’re supposed to regulate” issue, and not a “Elon Musk is bribing every greedy asshole in Congress to prop up his businesses at taxpayer expense” issue.

And sports:

Disney’s 0.2 point gain over March was partly driven by cross-network coverage of the NFL Draft, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship and the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Americans are real good at ignoring issues that don’t affect them personally.

Oh I won’t wreck my car, I’m a “good driver”!

I can’t catch Covid because it’s not real!

School shootings are just false flags the government uses to pass gun control laws!

Donald Trump only wants to remove the dangerous immigrants, not the ones I hire for my business!

Thing is, this isn’t a “gotcha” to them. Their default assumption is “American = more qualified than anyone else” because they’re goddamn ignorant racists.

No one who is not American will ever be qualified in their eyes.

The point of RCV isn’t to ensure your chosen candidate wins; it’s to ensure that whoever does win has at least some amount of approval from the majority of voters.

It does still have flaws, but it’s still far superior to the current system the US uses.

I did say I use Firefox. I was asking those who don’t.

Yes, I already do.

I asked because I don’t know if anyone who does use a Chromium browser has noticed an uptick in ads.

Last I checked Alphabet had something like $60 billion in profit.

At this point, they probably consider YouTube to be a loss leader while they siphon up everyone’s data.

I use Firefox. Is Ublock Origin still effective on YouTube since Google shoved out Manifest V3 onto Chromium-based browsers?

And yet, if they ever did release it, you can bet all three companies would C&D it.

It’s a chip shop, not a school.

I had no idea hard disks came ribbed for her pleasure.

So you will believe a rumour based on nothing

Says Tesla. You’re a fool if someone saying “nuh uh!” is good enough for you. Especially when its the reputation of the WSJ vs. the reputation of Tesla.

won’t believe the board of directors denying said rumour unless they sue?

Tell me you know absolute dick-all about corporations, without telling me you know dick-all about corporations.

I’ll give you a hint: what do you think would happen to the stock price of literally any company if the board confirmed they were ousting the CEO before the CEO was out? My dude, your native Australia has a better chance of eliminating every single venomous critter on that island than any corporate board admitting that. And that goes double for the single most overvalued stock on the planet, whose price is driven solely by the hype man’s promises.

So yes. If and when Tesla sues the WSJ, and wins that case, then I’ll believe they were right. Until then, I’m going to treat them like the lying Nazi-enabling shit car company they are.

When Tesla wins a civil suit about this story, then I’ll believe they’re not lying.
