I didn’t say it wasn’t American, I said it’s not American to eat it. No American has ever purchased, much less consumed grape nuts. They don’t even put the product in the boxes anymore. Just some led shot and asbestos to give it weight and they change out the box design every once in a while. They’ve been doing this since the 80s, it has to remain on the shelves to satisfy the terms of a demonic contract.

Before that, Grape Nuts was funded by the dentist lobby hoping to cash in on all those broken teeth. But nobody ever bought any and the dentists gave up.

The owner of the Brave browser is known to have right-wing political beliefs. Some people don’t think it’s ethical to use the browser because of this, instead of not using Brave because it sucks.

You can’t copyright AI generated text, video, or images.

However, the courts may be flexible in the future with content that has significant human input. However that gets defined.

I see that the greedy capitalists have also stolen my third fucking comma.

If you look closely at the back of the chair you’ll see why even FOBITTS flying drones have a 25% casualty rate.

I’ve always wanted to love Iron Maiden, but I just can’t. It’s the lyrical delivery, like Dickinson invented the opposite of “flow”.

Obviously the band is GOAT when it comes to T-shirts.

Obviously this frat-boy shit is dumb, but if you had to figure out if someone was a real American or a spy, this would be an excellent way to do it.

Like if someone said “I eat musli” or “I like grape nuts” you could go ahead and shoot the spy.

“If I should die, think only this of me: that there’s some corner of a foreign field that is forever England,”

Even their poetry was imperial and expansionist. Oh well, at least this gives me some context for that Roger Waters song.

Yes, that’s exactly how it works. It just seems normal because it’s on Law and Order, but threatening people with prison is coercive.

I collect irony and lefty outlets putting criticism of American Journalism behind a paywall is delicious.

You’re gonna have to explain how a public defender has the power to jail anyone. Prosecutors coerce people to take deals thousands of times every day. Not only is that legal, and normal, the system would collapse without it.

You know, in communist countries they have no respect for private property rights.

Or is this Lemmy being pro-war?

Supporting Ukraine’s violent resistance is not pro-war any more than shooting a robber in your home is pro-crime.

Corporate has asked me to tell the difference between these two pictures…

OK, the Utility is getting a loan against expected future payments by Microsoft. So, if all goes to plan, MICROSOFT IS PAYING FOR THIS!

Existential horror has calories?! Never mind potato chips, philosophy made me fat.

“Semite” is as archaic (and accurate) as “mongoloid” or “Aryan”. It’s no matter that it uses language as a proxy for blood. Reformed race science is still race science.

Where is the extraordinary claim? Pigs have been unmasking bitcoin owners for years. And the tools they use wouldn’t be out of reach for an amateur detective or journalist.

There are laws and regulations to keep people out of your Visa statement, but the bitcoin ledger is pubic for anybody who cares to look.

These laws don’t make BDS illegal, they make it so that businesses who contract with the state must not engage in BDS. This is a common tactic (usually employed by the left) to push business to do what they want, often when a law requiring it would be unconstitutional.

An example of this is preferential contracting to businesses owned by poc.

Also, I’d argue that the popularity of these anti-BSD measures have nothing to do with their effectiveness.

Through no intervention or design, the market creates perverse incentives that only benefit a few. So the solution is to fiddle with the incentives?

Ya ever notice that “market reform” schemes always seem like negotiations with an angry god? Sometimes I think that ancient civilizations would be much better understood if we stopped referring to the “priest class” and started calling them economists.
