Technically the king/queen is head of state

Technically, yes, but I was referring to the elected president/prime minister who is the head of the functional (as opposed to ceremonial) government.

Why do I get the impression that this specific detail is was put in to preclude Obama?

It seems like that because that’s exactly what it is.

Nor Canada.

Does any commonwealth country have that sort of term limits?

Assuming they have any intention of rebuilding it.

Baton Rouge -> Red Stick

(I honestly believe there’s an insecurity motive there

Once you have more money than you could reasonably spend in a lifetime, it just becomes another penis measuring contest for insecure manchildren.

the loss of privacy of a camera looking out onto a public street.

The loss of privacy of a camera that records every face that enters your home and timestamps that data…

it’s a camera pointed at a public street.

It’s a camera pointed at every person who comes to your house.

I’m in Canada, and Google maps shows me the same as what you are seeing.

Opus is better in every way

Except ubiquitousness.

I can play an MP3 on any digital audio device made in the last 20 years.

Can you screenshot that or something. I can’t see it without the Facebook account I refuse to have.

Only a quarter of the country actively voted for this.

And among those, I’d bet only a small portion actually understood what they were voting for. There are a lot of unthinking voters who only vote R because that’s what their entire family has always done.

That said, I still put a lot of blame on the apathetic idiots who couldn’t be bothered to get off their ass to vote at all.

The worse thi gs get and the more people start directly feeling the impacts, the more support you will se for taking action

How many reasons do they have to give you before you walk away from facebook?

but we are all being boiled together.

Including those of us in other countries who didn’t get a vote in your elections, but who are about to be absolutely fucked by the results.

Sorry to the people who voted against this, but the other 2/3 of your fellow citizens doomed you to the global distrust and anger that your country has earned.

How many other examples would you like?

is brevity no longer the soul of wit??

Maybe, if that’s your only goal.

Trying to make any sort of nuanced or subtle point about anything important is pretty much impossible in such an artificially limited format, though.

Sure, simple political memes can be done in a compact frame, but actually discussing the framework surrounding that meme, or trying to correct a bit of misinformation is not really possible to do under those same limitations of time or character count.

Personally, I never saw the appeal of TikTok anyway.

Then again I also was never interested in Twitter.

I guess my attention span isn’t short enough for that type of sites.

Once you see people start defending Russia it’s over

If that’s what you are looking for, the .ml server has you covered already…

I hate community notes, it’s a cost free way of fact checking with no accountability

And it lets certain communities brigade the notes with misinformation/disinformation to try and control the narrative.
