This is as stupid now as it was the last 30 times someone did something like this. Parents be warned: all following this will accomplish is making your children loathe you

Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

Maybe. Unfortunately US law doesn’t have a concept of “freedom to not worship”, so it’s tricky for atheists to push back against religious overreach because it’s hard to prove the exclusive religious favoritism for Christians in this country as an atheist since atheists are by definition impossible to prevent from worshiping.

It’s a lot easier to just say hail Satan and then crush the snowflakes in court since now you are religious, just for a bullshit religion which they can’t legally call bullshit on. Because that’s the other thing. There is absolutely no legal test of faith. The court must take satanists specifically at their word and push no further. Christianity is a major established religion in the US which means Satan is widely recognized, so it isn’t a random cult they can spin shutting down, and it is a religion so they can’t pretend the satanist isn’t covered by the first amendment protection.

Basically US law is stupid and that makes claiming to be a satanist extremely legally expedient

Only one way to find out

If by a while they mean the past 30 years then sure. Every iteration of Nintendo’s eShop since they started slapping Ethernet ports onto consoles has been a buggy mess “for a while”

Lows is the same distance from home. What a The fuck are they thinking?

Tearing down monopolies is an inherent good independent of the fact that the entire industry should be torn down with them. Be happy the court is willing to exercise their power to break monopolies at all. Doing so here normalizes doing it elsewhere

Slazers’ point that is is pocket change to apple however is an excellent point. If it forces compliance then it’s still a win. We’ll see what happens

Hey, new here. What’s going on?

Oh my God, when will they give up trying to make “smart” devices a thing!?! Literally no one uses them! It’s something like 20% of smart appliances ever get connected to the internet which is good since they’re a massive hacking risk

Slapping ai buzzwords on a vacuum doesn’t make the idea of a wifi enabled vacuum more enticing. Not to mention, why on earth would someone who was interested in idiot trap tech like that ever buy a sick vacuum over a Roomba? It’s like every appliance manufacturer lives in a fallout bunker with how out of touch they are

Criticizing me for using complex, appropriate linguistic cultural markers while also acting pissed about prescriptivism. Class, that’s what we call internal inconsistency! Also known as hypocrisy! Seriously, we all know me not using a period was a tone indicator. Be better.

Not that anyone missed that. You’re entire personality is im14andthisisdeep personified. You’re a literal firehose of pseudointellectual drivel

And the fact that you aren’t insulting people is not for any lack of trying on your part. You’re just shit at it. You’re the only person who is buying the lie that you’re just “telling it like it is”. Your utter distain for everyone else drips from every word and you’re not stupid enough to not know that. Which means you’re delusional

And for the record, though your “manifesto” here really doesn’t deserve the effort, you’re an idiot for thinking a “return” to print media of all fucking things is 1) possible, and 2) actually going to solve absolutely anything. And before you jump in I know what you actually meant, but the fact of the matter is all of your ideas are rose tinted, romanticized horseshit. You’ve no actual concept of how the world around you functions, you just think you’re better than everyone around you and if they just acted like you instead everything would be fine.

Social media is a symptom. Trump is a symptom. The media landscape is a symptom. The political landscape is a symptom! And I hate to break it to you kid (again I’m throwing you a bone here pretending you’re young and just have maturing to do. I’m begging you let me sleep better and don’t correct me) but the US in 2023 and the US today are the exact fucking same. Welcome to the real world, sorry it sucks, but this shit isn’t new. It’s start isn’t even in living memory. The only thing new is that you started to pay attention

Live long enough to be embarrassed by how you behaved here.

NVM you’re like a trillion years old. ( I mean Jesus, what kind of psycho doxes themselves on their profile like that?) You’re just another selfish liberal boomer who’s been willfully ignorant up until the moment that was literally impossible. I changed my mind. You had your chance to be a good person already and you proved you weren’t. Do us all the favor already. Your generation’s apathy and selfishness are literally the reason all of this is happening. No wonder I thought you were a fucking child. Choke on your rage and drown in your tears you pathetic thief of humanity’s future

Fyi, “clown population” isn’t ever going to catch on. Idk how it sounds in your native language but you are not communicating effectively in English.

Seriously. Using “Clown population” in a sentence out loud is like chewing gravel to an English speaker. Your language skills are distracting severely from your message in general, you sound like a buzzword vending machine, but your choice of insult is the most glaringly “doesn’t know how English grammar works”

Because it wouldn’t accomplish anything except instantly bankrupting the university. Which is what Republicans ultimately want.

Or to put it another way, only an idiot plays chicken with someone trying to kill them

Trump is definitely stupid enough to do it without understanding anything. The only question is whether someone with an actual brain can get to him before he tweets about it. Because the second he says it publicly, his narcissistic ego will only allow him to double down regardless of what it does to the US or him personally. Ideally someone would float the idea to him on air

Damn that’s dark.

I mean yeah. At this point I have no other choice huh? I mean Jesus…

It’s a guest contributor to a local paper deep in Mormon country. It’s not really hard to add up

Have the police attempted to justify their actions?

Yeah, seriously. They can fuck right off with that one. They don’t own the community. You get to be a part by contributing. It’s up to the community whether you’re let in or no. Log Cabin morons think they own us already

Most of the time it’s accompanied by “sins of the father” rhetoric where nothing changes but we’ll see I guess

Come on France, those are scrub tier numbers
