Hah! Good one. They’ll just fight to make it impossible to send a cop to prison no matter how many people they murder.

Look at it this way, Google stopped caring about their viewers as anything more than wallets to empty years ago. Now they’re going through the same cycle with advertisers. They don’t care if the ads land, or the targeting works, just that they can convince them to keep buying ad space.

Eventually the ROI will show as not worth it to the advertisers, but by then Pichai and the rest of the C-suite will be pulling the same scam at another company whose investors are more greedy and stupid than saavy.

Because the horrible truth of America now, is that CEOs and their ilk have stopped caring about creating value, or building a sustainable business model with long term revenue. Now they just look at witless investors as wallets to be emptied too.

🎼Tell me what happened…🎶

Right on, this isn’t about Ukraine’s restraint, it’s about Russia’s psychopathy.

Yes and an sr-71 blackbird.

The Udvar-Hazy air and space museum annex near Dulles is actually the best part of that museum. Check it out!

“I think you’re missing the point, they’re pointing out a woman with a VERY comfortable life made up a racist lie to demonise those less fortunate than herself.”

I wonder when her best selling children’s fantasy book is going to drop?🤔

My dog wonders why I can’t be more like him.

This puts the whole thing in new perspective. This sounds like conspiracy theory and delusion. I almost expect this from Insanepeoplefacebook.

If we had a cat, a loft would be a brilliant idea!

First, You rock. You changed the context of your actions based on new information and have decided to change your approach going forward, and you’re honest about it. All political discourse should occur at this level of self-awareness and transparency.

And just so you know I commiserate…I volunteered for Blegojevich.

Judging by the spacing of the bannister rails that space looks to be ~36x30. My dog’s bed is 26" across, leaving plenty of room for the other stuff. I mean look for a dollhouse fireplace on line, they’re pretty small, and the lamp could just be a rubber fire hydrant toy with the lamp mount jammed in.

I always wanted a space like that to make a sweet pad for my dog, with a fire-hydrant lamp, photos on the wall of his dog friends and comfy bed, small corner fireplace etc…

The counter argument, and I’m not saying this is correct, is that we had electric cars over a hundred years ago:

“Over the next few years, electric vehicles from different automakers began popping up across the U.S. New York City even had a fleet of more than 60 electric taxis. By 1900, electric cars were at their heyday, accounting for around a third of all vehicles on the road. During the next 10 years, they continued to show strong sales.”

If we had pursued the electric car at the same rate we pursued advances in ICE engines, perhaps they would have been better by now. They made resurgences in the 70s and 80s during the energy crisis in the west.

Clearly burning hyrdo-carbon rich fuels was easier, but it’s hard to say how much the pursuit of fossil fuel driven vehicles and machinery was influenced by both momentum, and the manipulation and interference of the fossil fuel industry. It’s possible that we could have had electric cars and still all the of the traffic, infrastructure and urban societal issues that we do today.

Ah, the panic of having to use the bathroom so severely you can’t make it to your book or magazine in time. Oh look, I wonder what Methyllaurelsulfate does?

I always thought the bathroom reader books were tacky and stupid, then a I got a couple and they came in clutch so many times.

Now that I have a phone, I think it’s kinda gross to have items out for everyone to touch while using the toilet. Weird how perception changes.

Tangentially, isn’t the phrase, “WITH abandon,” to mean unchecked, or unrestrained?

That’s a really interesting photo. I like the way you captured some dramatic light and played with focus planes. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have over the years. This is an interest that will actually take you places and make you try things you never thought you’d do before. Have a great time finding beauty in the world and sharing it with people.

Anachronox. Ion Storm at it’s best. Engaging plot and characters, humor well ahead of its time for a game script, and party members and environments that I’ve still never seen many games match to this day. I don’t know why it didn’t become huge, I think the rpg crowd back then was still pretty married to sword and sandal conventions. If you like old games, I can’t recommend it enough.

I think it’s important that you know that another human being on Lemmy got both sides of your joke. You earned my upvote.

Okay it’s a little more expensive than I thought, but c’mon man!

What is that, 3lbs 223 oz?
