Huh? These are the people who claim to represent the people. They instead raise money to stroke their egos and support policy that boosts their own wealth rather than the wants of their constituents.

“We the people” have no say over which puppet they place at the front of their R-lite party, and are told to suck it up and support genocide and bad environmental and economic policy or the other side will win.

I don’t think we should pity the billionaires.

Likely there would be more evidence. Eye witness accounts of the two parties together around the time of the incident; photos taken before or after the assault; Hospital records; Police reports made that were not followed up at the time; Texts; Call logs; surveillance video. There is a lot of evidence that can support an accusation like this.

As to why it’s been so long, coming forward after events like this can be terrifying. People who have been assaulted can hold a lot of self-blame. They can feel alone in their trauma, and the chorus of “she was asking for it” and other bs would be a big deterrent from coming forward. Isolation and stigma are a big reason that powerful people have gotten away with being abusive monsters for so long. It’s also why multiple accusations seem to crop up at the same time. The claimants see others who have suffered like them and feel less isolated and more supported in their claims.

There have been a few in here, but the real “hear me out”s are Few and far between.

Someone mentioned Hexxus from Fern Gully (a tar monster voiced by Tim Curry), or the Hydra from Hercules.

I still think it holds true that men’s HMOs are conventionally attractive women (Jessica Rabbit, Tinkerbell, Gadget). Women’s HMOs are things like The Brave Little Toaster; the dog monster from The Thing; and the abstract concept of ennui.

I love seeing what people think they can get away with in lawsuits like this. “I was being perfectly reasonable, and taking a 30 minute poop in quiet bliss, when the Defendant STORMED down the plane and VIOLENTLY DEMANDED I exit the lavatory. I calmly and eloquently explained my gastrointestinal predicament before the Pilot SMASHED THE DOOR IN WITH HIS FACE AND YELLED RACIST REMARKS AT ME WHILE DRAGGING ME AND MY FRIEND DOWN THE AISLE BY THE HAIR.”

Why does a conspiracy about Elon using AI to harass a woman all by himself seem more plausible to you than the fact that a large number of bigots will take any opportunity to harass a woman of colour?

the reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content…

Sounds like the engaged users have decided what the good content is, but it doesn’t align with the opinions of the tech CEO whose dick is tickling the admins tonsils.

Keep going reddit. I’m sure one more form of censorship will make daddy musk love you again.

Is DuckDuckGo still the best alternative at this point, or has Bing been toiling away in the dark to improve itself?

It baffles me how wholly some people are just accepting the complete erosion of the internet. I have lecturers at university, so theoretically educated people, who tell us point blank to plug any questions we have about weekly topics into ChatGPT. The respect I have for these teachers and their content is less than zero at this point.

It was already evident that he was a worthless sack of shit, seems redundant to call him a landlord as well.

It’s very relevant when you’re a racist piece of shit.

When I saw the reveal trailer and the joycons were sliding around on their sides I didn’t even recognise that they were implying mouse-mode until people in the comments started losing their minds.

All I could think was “my massive hands are never going to be able to use that joycon as a mouse comfortably”. This patent does not make me feel any more confident that j won’t have constant hand cramps with this thing.

FYI

“ They also said they don’t know if browsers such as Firefox are affected because they weren’t tested in the research.”

Seems you should be fine if you follow the usual protocols though: don’t open suspicious links, check urls, that sort of thing. I expect a frantic phone call from my mother-in-law who has an iPhone 8 any minute now…

If you think Elon is being honest about ‘breaking even’, you haven’t been paying attention. Twitter is in the hole, and he’s lying through his fascist little teeth to either save face, or manipulate some sort of upcoming move.

People will remain subscribed because a $2 increase every few months doesn’t feel as bad as a $30 increase in one go.

Frogs in boiling water and all that…

This is the clincher for me. I could MAYBE give him the benefit of the doubt for being basically an excitable toddler who waves his arms around like a dickhead, but the fact he did the exact same salute, TWICE, shows he blatantly meant to do it. I think he meant to look a lot cooler than it did, and not like Butt-head.

Light as a feather, but no man can hold me for long.

Amazing. I can finally find out exactly what that nurse is yelling about while she gets railed by the local basketball team.

And yet here you are, starting a discussion on actual mental issues.

Crazy how the same thing happens to businesses when times are tough. The only difference is that businesses have to pay taxes…

That made up number allows them to bend the ear of world leaders, to doom millions of people to poverty-related death, to take a joy-ride to space while their employees piss in bottles out of fear of losing their pitiful income.

You can try and diminish their wealth, but made up or not, those numbers are fucking the rest of us straight into hell.
