Except it already happened in stalinist Russia and continues in putin’s Russia. And yes, it might happen in trump’s USA too.

Actually the thing common with trump and muskow, is that they don’t believe in any cause, just whatever benefits them personally.

That’s true. They already evolved and most of us didn’t even realize. News feeds were added and gradually evolved to use information they know about is to push our buttons and affect our behavior and beliefs.

They still needed content, but with generative AI that’s no longer necessary, this is why social media companies are so invested in it.

Social media is no longer social it became a platform to manipulate people. It is much worse than traditional ways of propaganda, because each person gets their customized feed tuned to issues that are more likely to influence them.

I think the point is that Elonia wasn’t running in an election.

US has a lot of dark history for sure, but being middle class wasn’t as bad as it is right now.

Bernie always was MAGA but not for the slogan but actually to improve people’s lives.

The difference this time is that this won’t be paid by the government like covid vaccine and in fact will be very expensive (i.e. how much people are willing to pay to cure their cancer?)

How can you create such conspiracy, when they don’t even want to give that vaccine?

I suspect if we were forced to pay $500 or more to get covid vaccine we wouldn’t have conspiracies either.

I think that might have possibly changed since covid. I believe much less people are now going to cinemas.

Just heard that via Rick Sanchez voice.

Set it on fire, more like. Phony Stark tries to make it look like the car contained an explosion, but the car just had flammable materials inside.

The SWE H1B salaries are drastically under what is the market price.

And that doesn’t even account for them continuously working overtime without overtime pay.

Thank God.

People can’t handle driving in 2 dimensions, imagine if 3rd one was added.

Is at least the California’s net neutrality law in effect?

As musk commented, you don’t have to worry about those fires as cyber truck will direct them upwards.

Not on H1B they not.

(as they can’t even vote)

I was confused as well, but looking at the comments I started looking at the site and it looks like that it is a running gag that happens on every January 1st and I think it started in 2006.

You can just update the URL with each year.

Edit: looks like starting 2023 it is new-years instead of newyears

It is dumb. It is to to states how they do it, but most of the times the state judges are selected via election. Which is tough as a voter it is very hard to learn about a judge especially if the judges supposed to be non partisan (believe in our not, but in some states they declare the part they are in).

IMO the governor should select judges and perhaps give option during election to allow people to recall them if they are grossly biased or something (at that point judge would be well known).

As I understand, this judge was appointed by Kemp, then tried to resign (probably due to scandal), Kemp didn’t allowed it, then he lost reelection and offed himself.

Doesn’t look like anyone else voted for him except Kemp.
