Thanks!

I’m unfamiliar with this topic, which politicians/countries changed their laws?

To add to other links:

Also Russia actually invaded Poland together with Germany:

It was only after Hitler attacked Russia they switched sides and became allies to the West, but West let them keep the land they took.

To Poland events of world war 2 continued until 1989 when it finally escaped Russia’s control.

No! Only cold dogs.

Ironically so far it looks like it is capable to replace execs.

Well it worked, and in fact still does for Phony Stark.

Oh, c’mon, who’s going to tell him he is the best dad? He needs them.

Fun fact: the founders threw out musk, before it became PayPal, he actually wanted it to be called X, he was hoarding that domain since then.

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.

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

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.

I use clean my feeds grease monkey script to hide it and only show my friends and groups I subscribed to and it makes it so easy to see how much of things that it shows is just their stuff and how dead the Facebook really is.

People are still think social media is social. They think that when they post something, all their friends will see it.

In reality what each person sees is determined by the feed algorithm. They can use all the things they know about you and present you content that will press your buttons and change your opinion about topics.

The biggest issue though is to have a proper content. This is where generative AI comes in and this is why owners of social media are so much invested in it.

They basically have platform like the old MSM, except all content is specifically tuned to every person.

Everyone is skeptical about this, and in the end they could be right, but we can’t deny that they are really trying.

I really hope that against all odds they somehow succeed.

I don’t watch him either, but you can’t deny that he is already very popular and had more viewers than show on TV.

That’s even more tame, currently he was banning MAGA people for not agreeing with his stance on H1B.

I have a flashlight that uses 4 C batteries and just purchased a rechargeable ones, could that be an option?

I don’t know if this is global phenomenon or just US, but 25 years ago when I lived in Europe C and D batteries were as popular as AA. But yeah, I don’t see much of C and D in local US stores.
