Yeah, I mean. One only has to watch The Big Short for that one. The FTC and other regulators are a fucking joke. All of capitalism is a scam and the financial industry is its punchline, parasitizing on our labour and playing with pretend value until they inevitably break shit again

One European Parliament MP said something, everyone else just went with it, Zelensky then doubled down and apparently that was good enough. It soured me on some publications for sure.

THANK YOU. I have been saying this too. Thankfully those comments weren’t immediately obliterated so there are more sensible people still. But to your point, just because you want to believe something that doesn’t mean it’s real.

Wonder what kind of sentencing one would face in Abu Dabi for doing drugs and for child neglect and endangerment. You know, hypothetically speaking, if you weren’t part of the royal family and you weren’t being shielded from any consequences of course. You know. For everyone else.

It’s the hypocrisy that gets me you know.

Also yes, burn every tabloid. Having said that, also fuck all royals.

Sooooo even one of the most high profile guys out there to have these kinds of restrictions was able to do all that for FOUR YEARS and livestreamed all of it to boot and only now does the FTC step in? It took them four years to step up?

FOUR YEARS??? Couldn’t even like, automatically follow his trading accounts and flag them or whatever? They could have automated it for god sake.

What the hell, FTC. Pathetic.

I always get them confused, they’re all Chief Pedo to me you know. Anyway, here’s today’s flavor of ‘old guy defending pedos’ and what he said about transgender people: https://www.npr.org/2025/05/09/nx-s1-5393705/pope-leo-stance-issues-lgtbq-climate-women-politics

Like I get that people are happy he isn’t one of the worse popes we’ve had in recent decades but come the fuck on y’all, he’s still the fucking Pope, leader of some bumfuck religion, chief of the premier child sexual abuse organization, actively refusing to cooperate with law enforcement or give us any insight into what the fuck has been happening for decades save for like, snippets, to keep the public happy. Full transparency and the full prosecution of every single person accused of child (sexual) abuse. Full transparency on where money is going in this black box of money laundering and corruption and political influencing. Anything short of that, you’re King Pederasty to me, and you deserve every bit of cancer that comes your way, idc if you’re the ‘good pope’.

May every pope rot in the worst hells they conjure up in their nightmares.

This particular pope called ‘Gender ideology’ the ‘ugliest danger of our time’ . I’m not gonna hold water for a man like that, especially not when the Catholic Church has not done nearly enough to root out all of its sexual abuse. Not to mention how they use the funding of public services in smaller and poorer countries (like, say, funding a prison) to force people there to accept more conservative stances from their local governments. Then there’s the whole money laundering, lack of transparency, the child mass graves, you know. Fun stuff. Fuck the pope, fuck the church, let them eat shit and die.

Sinéad O’Conner was right when she tore up that photo of the then reigning pope. I can’t believe people are out here carrying water for the Lord of sex pests.

A dead pope is always reason for celebration tbh

Edit: for the folks downvoting this, I’m sure skydaddy will have some nice choir boys lined up for you when you ascend. If you kill some more trans people for him he’ll save you a seat!

Two years later the UK joined the US in invading Iraq. NATO Article 5 was invoked for the first time. Afghanistan was invaded with again, help from the UK. The war on* terror began in earnest, leading to millions of deaths and ten times the displacement of people. All over the world bombings, kidnappings, torture sites were opened and used for decades, some ran by the UK.

Yea they lost their fucking marbles I’d say.

Fucking panic, try to get a life together, and watch the whole world lose their complete shit at 9/11 again. But like. I’ll buy popcorn this time you know.

Do you know how to invent rechargeable lithium tetrahydride batteries right now?

Six flags at half mast. That’s a total of three flags day.

The solution being, you don’t wake up ofc

100%

Yeah but I’m not seeing evidence that those bots are gone tho. I saw some graph claiming a dip in Yandex web crawlers. That’s it. And even that, the sourcing of it all comes back to one MP for the European Parliament? Like that’s the whole source? Are we really believing those douchebags?

It’s pretty fucking annoying how pervasive this as of yet completely unverified story is.

Where’s the proof? I never see anything that is actual proof with these posts about Yandex.

At best what I see is it’s a cluster of search crawlers that went slightly down.

Phone, boost. Always forget I can also use my desktop browser but honestly I’m so used to Boost it’s like it’s a completely different website

Really it was Reddit no longer allowing third party apps to use their APIs that got me to look elsewhere and since I had been using Boost for Reddit anyway, and there was also a Boost for Lemmy

LibreOffice just outright stating their policy of ‘no AI’ as a feature made me respect them so much more.
