President Biden signs 1st federal anti-LGBTQ+ bill in nearly 30 years
  • Those are some random goal posts you're tossing down but they only indicate you aren't an well informed voter.

    I'm sure Trump who runs several corporations, is a well known landlord and has well established anti-union views will do some amazing things to all those causes.

  • That would have lead to a government shutdown since is lame duck he has nothing to negotiate on a compromise.

    Many republicans voted against this bill because they prefer waiting for Trump to take office so they can pass something worse. They don't care about a shutdown.

    I'm sure that'll be as hilarious as the last time bud.
  • This guy is admitting how scared he is from being rejected and not only assumes those women will be equally affected but he looks forward to inflicting that harm on them. He is why they choose bear.

  • Anyone outraged at Biden for this being played for a fool.

    Good luck getting any future support if this is how you treat the leaders of the only legitimate party that is allied with you.

  • Agreed. The political ignorance of the common American is why it is so easy able to drive these wedges.

    Anyone pissed at Biden about this is not a politically smart person and are easily manipulated becuase they not only lack political intelligence but lack the ability to gauge their lack of political intelligence.

    YSK There’s someone running around Lemmy posting misinformation against Wikipedia
  • That's now poe's law, it would be Occam's razor.

    The most likely scenario here is not many puppet accounts spreading sarcasm or parody but rather that there are many actors that all true believers in what they are all saying. They sound the same because they are feeding off the same talking point.

    Apple Explains Why It Doesn't Plan to Create a Search Engine
  • You started with the statement, "as always, Apple is gaslighting you" -- that is quire the statement, you cannot support it but you are insist it's true, insisting that I accept it as part of my reality.

    That is gaslighting.

    One of the fun things with people who gaslight is their inability to recognize their gaslighting. It's also possible you don't understand the term.

    You refusing to back down from such a strong and unsupported statement makes me think it's the later and that I'm involved in the sort of argument one is never supposed to involve themselves them in. Something about taking you down to their level and betting you with experience.

  • Making up reasons to assert gaslight is occurring is gaslighting. There is no proof Apple is lying.

    This is an excellent example of not being able to reason someone out of a position they didn't use reason to get into.

    Belief is not proof. If you want to pettle conspiracies, try 4chan.

  • Apple: We're a search engine company and we don't want to be.

    You: Zomg, gaslighting. Based on information I want to be true, Apple totally wants to be a search engine and wants to be!

    The only one doing any gaslighting here is you.

    Anon gives a piracy history lesson
  • Copyright predates corporations. Many corporations need copyright to extract profit. If you're anti-corporation but pro-copyright, you're the only with the big ol' giant hole.

    A trans person shares their thoughts on Democrats and the corporations that are leaving them to fend for themselves.
  • So he should he forced the government shutdown? He can't affect the budget choices of congress and the incoming administration isn't going to do better so was he supposed to grandstand while all government employees suffer.

    This funding was going away no matter what Biden did. Allowing harm to other people for no gain is deplorable.

  • That what's the reason? You haven't proposed their true motive, what sanity are they attempting to make us question because you don't appear to understand what gaslighting means. At best you think they are lying, which isn't gaslighting and is a really stupid thing to do around federal investigations.

    Not sure what they're talking about but I'm here for popcorn
  • This is hardly a new business model. In the olden days there were 900 numbers for this. Commercial shows hot sexy women. Actual person on the line was not.

    I'm guessing the difference here is lack of disclosure.

  • Why spend billions a year on a search engine when someone will pay you billions a year to use theirs?

    This isn't gaslighting, it's the basics of tenet capitalism.

    In what scenario does Apple generate 20 billion a year by owning a internet search product?

    Search engines are a dead end. The future is a LLM that can tie its results to sources.

    I have more confidence in Apple getting that right than Google. Google doesn't even have the confidence in themselves to brand their product with Google in the name.

  • Literally one of the bullet points:

    In order to create a "viable" search engine business, Apple would be required to "sell targeted advertising," which is "not a core business" for the company and would go against its "longstanding privacy commitments."
