credo,

It needs to be “if you disagree without evidence.”

They can leave that whole “if you’re not a scientist” bit in the rubbish bin.

credo,

Hmm. I just realized I haven’t been excited about anything in a long time.

That sucks.

credo,

I upvoted both of you. This requires deeper debate.

Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations (x.com)

There were a series of accusations about our company last August from a former employee. Immediately following these accusations, LMG hired Roper Greyell - a large Vancouver-based law firm specializing in labor and employment law, to conduct a third-party investigation. Their website describes them as “one of the largest...

credo,

I really key in on the language of these types of releases. First is,

To ensure a fair investigation, LMG did not comment or publicly release any data and asked our team members to do the same.

So… keeping yo mouth shut is not ensuring a “fair investigation.” It’s protecting yourself.

Next, phrases like,

Claims of bullying and harassment were not substantiated.

Is not proof of anything- other than there was no proof. That’s why you hire a third party to speak for you. Instead of you saying, “I didn’t do it,” (which of course almost anyone would - true or not) the “independent” investigator can say, “I didn’t find any proof.”

The strongest language here,

Allegations that sexual harassment were ignored or not addressed were false.

…is interesting. I guess it depends on what they mean by “addressed.” If I slapped a colleague on the back and said, “That was hilarious!”, I hardly ignored it. You could even say I addressed it.

I’m not saying I believe I’ve way or the other. All I’m pointing out is this means basically nothing.

credo,

LMG says they didn’t do a thing

Yes, please show me this language.

And I never said I was waiting for proof, thanks. Feel free to read the whole thing.

credo,

everyone agrees that war is awful

That doesn’t appear to be the case in Ukraine.

ITT: People who can’t see forest, for trees.

credo, (edited )

Putin you fuck. Putin doesn’t agree.

credo,

I think they were saying he was a closeted murderer. Seems reasonable I guess. All things considered.

credo,

My life is needlessly difficult because I try to understand stupid people. It wears me out.

credo,

I’ve heard the early Internet age referred to as the future dark ages. When all the work, information and content is digitized, it’s prone to being lost to history forever.

credo,

Perhaps you should sell all your stuff, create a car company, and sell cars at a loss?

I’m not a capitalist, I don’t have anything to sell.

No shit.

credo,

How about do the right thing and not do it for a profit.

[…]

Seems they’re having an issue selling EVs for profit though.

I think your logic unit is broken.

credo,

But I mean, for one person it’s not bisexual. Isn’t that just bisexual sex with a plus one?

credo,

Now we know how they got into Epstein’s cell.

credo,

If you don’t like CNN stop listening to it 25/8. Same for Fox, et al.

I’m sorry, did you think the people complaining about corporate media are actually watching it? Like they don’t understand they don’t have to? That’s not the issue at all and I’m not sure why you think it is. People complain because naive people watch it. People with malleable, unscientific, unquestioning minds. People who listen to those channels for the echo chamber and sense of validation it provides them.

No one would care except, their votes count too.

credo,

This doesn’t sound like a subscription, so much as consumption based billing. They make their money back by cornering the building-level market (perhaps landlords can put in competing chargers?) and charging a higher charging fee… okay that’s confusing. Charging a higher “fillup” fee.

Nearly 1 in 5 US abortions now provided through telehealth, with thousands accessed under shield laws each month, report says (www.cnn.com)

Most abortions in the United States are medication abortions, and telehealth has become an increasingly common way to access abortion pills — especially since the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision revoked the federal right to an abortion....

credo,

Republicans are coming after this through the Comstock act:

The Comstock Act was passed by Congress under the administration of Ulysses S. Grant and criminalized the act of using the U.S. Postal Service to send “obscene” materials such as contraceptives, substances that induce abortion, pornographic content, sex toys and any written material about these items.

credo,

These “free market” arguments keep missing the key detail. Reading is hard.

subsidised Chinese goods

I don’t remember China subsidizing American products and then shipping them back to us.

credo,

It’s the same as the arguments for cheap big macs. Fair! Until it’s more expensive for me…

People are clowns.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

credo,

Yes, you’re comparing COVID lows with today’s returns. That’s perfect. Not that I give a damn about franchise returns. I just don’t eat there.

Remember that’s gross profits.

Do you have any idea what “gross” means? You’re literally including the increase to wages in your argument.

credo,

The profits today aren’t any different than the profits from 15 years ago (when fixing for economic growth). I’ve already done the math. The only significant variable that’s changed here is wages. I.e., expenses.

credo,

Point out that complaint please.

credo,

And you read that as a complaint? That’s your issue if you interpret plain facts as complaints. Feel free to read a little more thoroughly.
