FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect
  • Ajit Pai is that scumbags name. If I ever bump into him at a grocery store I plan to give him the same level of respect he gave the American people.

    Fellow MSTies, what is your all-time favorite episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000?
  • My all time favorite is Blood Waters of Dr. Z. It is unhinged from beginning to end in the best kind of way. The story is bonkers, the special effects and makeup are awful and the acting is worse but it's all so good.

    And to all the people new to MST3K you get the obligatory Pod People recommendation.

    Congressional Republicans are Wasting Time Instead of Delivering for the American People Yet Again.
  • I'm not faulting you man. Just trying to get the name out there. It's rare that the bs goes directly back to one person but this is case it does. Removing DeJoy is essential and to get that done people need to know who he is.

    Congressional Republicans are Wasting Time Instead of Delivering for the American People Yet Again.
  • Louis DeJoy is the moles name. He's working for Republicans to destroy the USPS and is currently the Postmaster General. Post his name where you can, the more people that know his name the better. Fuck Louis DeJoy

  • You didn't touch a nerve you took a very complicated situation and boiled it down to this man must not be budgeting properly. The real issue at play was the last thing you mentioned. You addressed it but it was one sentence. I'm not saying budgeting isn't important I'm saying you're not focusing on the issue. Sorry I was a dick but you're missing the point entirely.

    JPMorgan Plans to Report Customers Who Exploited TikTok ‘Glitch’ to Authorities
  • I mean I get it these people should be charged but seriously Chase? Aren't you supposed to be like a bank that's all about security? So we're pissing away a bunch of gov't resources to track down and charge these criminals cause Chase can't roll out a remote deposit system that works properly? Seems like the gov't should investigate how tf this happened in the first place

  • You got the facts straight and came to the logical conclusion but is it necessary to armchair quarterback his hypothetical financial situation?

  • Fundamental misunderstanding? The misunderstanding is you think the world should cater to the uneducated and uninformed. Your dad isn't a lost cause but crusading on the internet to remove memes might be.

  • Did you just link the meme? If that's the case let me emphasize that it's YOUR responsibility to educate your dad the world will not do it for you. You have the ability to do something about your dad and you cannot do anything about memes on the internet. Your energy responding to anything on Lemmy is wasted energy. You cannot convince someone not to meme but you might have the ability to change the mind of someone in your life. Good luck bud.

  • I understand your concern and understand what you're saying. My dad voted for Trump in 2016 and I spent 4 years grinding to change his mind and educate him. He voted for Joe in 2020. It's your responsibility to have difficult conversations with your dad and share your views. I'm not saying you can change his mind but you should be explaining to him what a meme is and how it's not real life. You'll be much more understanding and have a kinder touch than some rando that hears him sharing his views and doesn't take kindly to them. I appreciate your eagerness to explain your reasoning but I would argue that energy would be better spent educating your dad rather than telling the internet not to meme.

    Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead
  • You really think it's not ridiculous to point out how ridiculous it all is? There is value in calling out the elephant in the room however there's no value in validating Fox News and giving into the grift. That only benefits Fox News and Trump.

    Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead
  • I fail to see how one impedes the other, in fact I would argue it would help her win. If she's running on doing just that why wouldn't she take a shot. Why hide? You think any Fox News fanboys would be swayed by anything Kamala says? Her time would be better spent attracting unregistered voters and she could do that by saying the quiet part out loud.

  • Hear me out guys. I feel like a movie for Helldiver's has some potential. Arrowhead could build a Helldiver's universe and dive into Managed Democracy or it could just be a series of weird dystopian events involving bugs and automatons. Either way with the right care it could make Starship Troopers look like the original Blade Runner. I'm not an advocate for this kind of thing but if they made it feel like Managed Democracy propaganda I feel like it would be great. Imagine General Brasch on the silver screen.

    Twice a week a pilot aborts a takeoff because other jets are entering an active runway. The FAA's solution is a 10 hour break between shifts rather than 9 hours.
