aren’t not dependent on each other

So, they are dependent on each other.

TIL how to spell beaucoup.

True story, about 20-25 years ago, a radio station in my home town was playing ads for some new local business doing web design.

After hearing the ad on my drive to work for the umpteen billionth time I finally got curious and went to check out their own website (I they’re charging people to build websites, they’re own website must be a pretty awesome demonstration of their skills, right?)

The website looked like absolute garbage and, upon viewing the source, the meta tags clearly betrayed the fact that it was created in Word.

I can only imagine how much money they were paying to run those ads. I even considered the possibility I was being pranked somehow.

However, Joe Lonsdale, the founder of 8VC, did comment, considering it a response to an attack by left-wing media for “supporting Trump.” Lonsdale was referring to an article published by Forbes magazine describing his fund’s connections with the sons of Russian oligarchs.

Forbes is “left-wing media” now?

I have bad news for them if they think accepting people running from “Western liberal ideals” is going to help with that somehow.

Please give them free plane tickets

Great idea.

Announcement: I pledge to buy a one way plane ticket from any US airport to Moscow for the first two US citizens that can prove to me that they A) have a social media history demonstrating rejection of Western liberal ideals, and B) have had their Russian immigration visa accepted.

If they return to the US at any point in my lifetime, the offer is rescinded and they must refund me the cost of the ticket.

Yeah. 25% more people than we have now is not shrinking by any stretch of the imagination.

This would make an excellent short film. The fire axes scene would be epic.

They don’t actually fly. They’re just so ugly that the Earth repels them.

Your links are broken

They come in pairs. You can’t have just one, duh.

Let’s briefly set aside the fact that she was 12.

He was convicted of raping another person… period. That alone should disqualify him from representing his country at the Olympics.

Now back to your regular scheduled world wide publicity for Steven van de Velde, who repeatedly raped a 12 year old girl.

IANAL, but I feel like if the heirs to an estate cared enough about the deceased’s Steam account enough to get the court involved, Steam wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. But that’s probably what it would take to get them to do the right thing.

The sad part about this is that The Girl Scouts has always been an amazing organization that’s done great things for girls and society, but didn’t get all of the favorable treatment that the boys did from the government. Now their playing field is going to be even more unlevel.

Because 'Merica!

At the moment, it’s unknown if there was ever a real-world person behind this username or if Jia Tan is a completely fabricated individual.

Well, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a platypus. There was definitely one or more real-world people behind this. I doubt anyone thinks that their name is actually Jia Tan, though.

r/whoosh 😉

Now I understand where ChatGPT hallucinations come from.

Stop making children! Also, !orphancrushing@lemmy.world

I’m sure a couple of intrepid Ukrainian farmers with tractors could get the job done before sunset.
