If NK had enough bribery money, FIFA would already have had it there…

The last two were in Russia and Qatar. A pattern has already formed.

What mine shows me is mostly racism and xenophobia. I mean, they know I’m white. Figured they might as well just shoot their shot.

Meanwhile it’s utterly terrible at the one thing it’s supposed to do. I’m got a few old friends and family members on there. Not super close or anything, but the kind of people you’d be vaguely interested in seeing if they had cancer or had babies or anything. Didn’t show me those events at all.

Like, what is even the point of it other than a US far-right psy-op?

OK, and Discord, Facebook, etc? Or do they just lobby better?

I’d agree but they already did that. They seemed to have spent far more care and attention protecting the rapists than the rapees.

Well maybe, but only if they owned the infrastructure themselves.

As it stands, the price paid to renewable energy suppliers tracks the amount paid to fossil fuel suppliers.

There’s a reason every farmer wants to fill their fields with solar panels, and it’s got little to do with making electricity cheaper for the end user.

That said, there’s no reason not to do it anyway, at least if we want more than a few more hundred years of humanity. A tough ask in a time where every decision is made based on an election that happens in the next 4 years by people who won’t live another 20.

Even the aliens have been to the Epstein Islands.

Grizzlies sounds like a bear specific version of Grindr.

Maybe you just notice the Fords more because they’re all monster trucks these days.

The UK is a non-EU country.

:(

Wow, thank goodness nobody gutted the authority in charge of making sure that wouldn’t happen…

Like in Mountainhead.

I do wonder if everyone would be so comfortable with Cloudflare if they were a Russian or Chinese operation.

Wouldn’t be surprised to find CF were also controlling some of the biggest DDOS botnets to remind people what happens when you don’t let the Americans see all your traffic…

That’s Colorado shaped.

All of them. They’re parasites.

And I’m not opposed to ditching US tech, quite the opposite, but let’s not pretend it ends with a load of spare money for Europe because trickle up economics is real and it just ends in our own billionaires having it all, who’ll just invest it all in US tech stocks anyway…

European landlords getting ready to hoover up that spare money. 🤑

Time to test the double luge teams for meth!

It is bizarre how they all fled reddit when they got greedy, so ran off and set up on Discord instead. So now you get a procession of users with the same 4 questions over and over.

UK newspapers would frequently publish photos of 16 years old girls with their tits out. That was only made illegal in 2004.

Back during Paedomania of the early 2000s, Brass Eye had an episode taking the piss out of the press’s new found moral crusade, despite them happily being in on it for the better part of 30 years. The press did not like this at all. Unfortunately they didn’t seem to realise they were at fault, which led to the memorable juxtaposition of an article about “perv spoof bosses” on the opposite side of the page from an article about how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s boobs were getting.

Don’t threaten me with a good time
