Shoo! Don’t make me get the broom!

Is this what passes for bait these days? Shoo, go on, git. Back to your imageboard.

It’s pretty clear that they meant “a constant factor in our daily lives”, you really don’t need to be this hostile.

They’ll be happy. Like… they really clearly actually want this. Even when their faces get eaten, they’re all enthusiastically for it.

Sale hasn’t been approved by the bankruptcy court yet.

Yeah, don’t think it was a secret by any means but I do think my understanding of bankruptcy proceedings is lacking to the point I have no idea if that will invalidate the sale like InfoWars is claiming in their suit.

Yeah, seems like there was some behind the scenes work so that the onion could buy it, we’ll see if it stands up in the (I assume deeply corrupt…) bankruptcy court. God, I hope it does…

infowars is down, I think its real

There’s a pyramid with hieroglyphics carved onto the side that roughly translate to “This End Up”

Yeah agreed, and that really should have been the headline.

You dare speak the name of the accursed one??

Schools are better used to prepare people for your life, you mean.

This headline seems like there’s a bit of sensationalizing going on - A french weapon system, sold to the UAE, is installed on vehicles the UAE has subsequently sent to sudan.

[Amnesty] says the Rapid Support Forces militia is using vehicles in the Darfur region supplied by the United Arab Emirates that are fitted with French hardware as it battles the army.

“If France cannot guarantee through export controls, including end user certification, that arms will not be re-exported to Sudan, it should not authorise those transfers,” [Amnesty] said.

Clearly they need to get their shit in order, but the french lack of a response seems more understandable given that it does take some amount of time to ex: check twenty years of arms sales for similar export control violations.

I think perhaps it’s lack of utility is more on account of the user than it is on the uses…

God this is so true. I teach compuster science, and I always make a point in one lecture to show the students how many tabs full of basic questions I have to open when grading their assignments. Nobody can memorize all of this, and it’s so important to shake off that feeling of not being good enough just because you have to look something up.

I can’t decide if that’s higher or lower than I expected.

Acceptance accepted then, I suppose! Have a good day.

God, how many times have you told me to fuck off now, five? Six? Enough that my partner recognizes your username. Just… start reading your damn sources. You’re better than this, and even if you don’t know that, I do. You’re a decent person, you screwed up your source on a topic that’s more complex than most of the reporting on it tells you, and I called you out on it. Take a deep breath, take the L, move on. Neither of us are going to survive the next four years if we let rational discourse devolve to this state. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry I was a dick in calling out your credibility because of one dud link. That was petty of me.

Do… you want to drink some more coffee and maybe try this again?

I’m not allowed to use the source you brought because it’s not credible enough.

Um, anyways:

The Unusual Whales Democratic ETF (BATS:NANC), in a nod to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has seen a 30% surge since its inception on Feb. 7, 2023. This growth surpasses the 24% gain of the S&P 500 during the same period, reported Business Insider.

It’s not even Pelosi’s “own personal stock index”, it’s an independent index based off publicly disclosed trades made by members of congress, and it’s done well for one year (yeah, that absolutely could be a coincidence). It’s not even hard to find evidence to support your position, and I’m not even particularly disagreeing with you! Congress is openly corrupt! You just really, clearly, did not read your source. It directly refutes all the claims you’re making here.
