The craziest part of that article is

Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company’s (…) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).

So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn’t see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.

I shouldn’t be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.

I signed up and got an email with a link to the apk. I’d share, but it looks like it’s personalized to my email maybe? and it doesn’t work anymore

Zeezee already has a great reply. I’d also like to add that gender dysphoria isn’t the same as being trans, it’s possible to be trans and not have dysphoria

Kinda random but it also broke Canon scan software

The first article doesn’t say he’s not fascist (unless I missed it somehow or it got lost in translation. I’m an English only pleb)

And I found the second article (in English 😅) since your link has it paywalled. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/29/trump-rally-fascism-politics

I understand the argument, but don’t find it overwhelmingly convincing. They even start the article mentioning how well respected historians believe he’s fascist, as well as former White House staff.

I’d argue that just because he’s not been totally supportive of violence doesn’t excuse the times he was promoting violence. And I think his actions show he would be more openly supportive of violence if he knew he could get away with it

Pretty sure it means

Galaxy Nexus (the smartphone): Android (OS) Ice Cream Sandwich (OS Version) Guinea Pig (Test Subject)

(So the new Android OS version, Ice Cream Sandwich, is being tested on the Galaxy Nexus phone)

It’s a bankruptcy auction, and he’s bankrupt because he was sued by Sandy Hook families. Some of those families gave money to the Onion to buy InfoWars so Alex Jones is losing his platform and his money.

It sucks for him more than it helps him really.

Hold on, is the straight person arguing for the gays, and the gay person arguing for the straights?? (I’m pansexual and I think we should all just get along)

No where does that source say Biden tried to shut down the Internet. The closest is this part

Donald Trump publicly advocated that “in some places” we have to talk about “closing up the Internet.” He got his wish, but it came after him personally following his election in 2016. The very free speech about which he made fun turned out to be rather important to him and his cause.

Also I can’t take a site seriously when one of their sources they link to is the Twitter user “End Wokeness”

There are some parts I agree with, but there’s plenty there that’s right wing dog whistles for “I want to say hateful things and have no consequences” free speech

Yeah they do, I’m just pointing out that the law doesn’t say a business has to. Sorry, being pedantic

The people getting up in arms are upset because they see it as a slippery slope. First just the idiots pay for subscriptions, then it creeps into the lives of everyone. And eventually it’s harder to avoid the bullshit than just pay, and the whole market becomes more predatory. Like if the idiots give companies an inch, they’ll eventually take a mile

Sadly I think they’re legally allowed to not serve gay people in certain states. The minimum is just hiring gay people :(

Yeah, probably wrong. There’s not a bunch of third party info on the environmental impact this factory will have, and no evidence anyone was bribed. If it makes you feel better, this isn’t their first factory and I couldn’t find any negative news about that factory either. Community leaders were supportive though, and a bunch of jobs were created.

I did find some articles about the positive environmental impact sodium batteries have from production, to relative ease of recycling, if that makes you feel better.

I can think of an America specific reason to not block all communication with the outside world in a school. Even if every room has a wired landline that worked and was accessible to students and teachers

Black Girl Games is one of several consulting companies that promote more diversity in games and other media. Not to exclude white people completely.

Let’s see what we can agree on here, please stop me when you disagree with my statement.

1. Racism still exists and is a problem in the world today

2. The best tool we have against racism is knowledge and exposure to other cultures and ethnicities

3. Having more than two or three AAA games with a main character that is a minority will give gamers that first hand experience with the represented culture

4. Therefore, more representation is good for combating racism and as an extra benefit is giving more diverse worlds/stories to play

5. There are still a metric buttload of games with white main characters or character creators that let you be white

6. Minorities will be happy to see themselves represented

7. Diversity is not the enemy, and companies are trying to level the playing field, not erase white people

I want to know specifically what your problem with dei efforts are so we can clear up any confusion.

Nope, wife works at a hospital and they don’t have a paper backup of everything. They were affected by the outage and it was apparently a pretty tough night.

They can still work, but there obviously will be a serious delay switching to paper everything. You might want to look into the legislation that you’re thinking of to see what it specifically says.

And I’m pretty sure there are ways to prevent what happened that have nothing to do with having medical professionals chart everything on both a computer and on paper. That just sounds really inefficient.

Wow, just looked into it cuz I hadn’t heard about that. And yeah, it looks like that’s exactly what he did a month after becoming CEO. In fact it looks like they closed the entire publishing side of the company and possibly laid those employees off. Super disappointed to hear that from the studio behind such a beloved game

Blatantly false title. Please don’t exaggerate and add inflammatory commentary that’s misleading, it detracts from the conversation.

They’re not mocking the religion tho, they’re using it as part of their game but removing the melanin. It’s whitewashing basically, that’s what they’re upset about. It’s really only tangentially related to religion

Checking their comment history, Natolover is just a down vote troll. No use relying, although that is a nice map
