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...
If you’re one of the people in this thread insisting this does nothing to exonerate LTT, what would you accept as evidence that they’re innocent? I don’t follow YouTube drama much at all, I just think it’s wild when people form an opinion based on on set of statements and then are never open to learning more facts about the case ever again.
What if that standard were to be applied to the people making the assertions? Shouldn’t the burden of proof be on the accuser, not the accused? Seems kinda backwards the way you described it, someone can just say some things about you and now you are obligated to release internal documents/chat logs/emails or whatever else to prove their assertions wrong?
That’s because Americans keep being told “but we’re not in a recession” in response to complaints about low wages and high prices. No one gives a fuck what the stock market is doing if we can’t afford to own any. We don’t care that “job numbers are up” when none of them pay enough to keep up with doubled grocery costs in the last 3 years. And don’t even start on “CPI figures” that are waved in our faces as if that shit even comes close to measuring the real inflation that real people are paying for on a daily basis. It’s so understated it might as well exist in a parallel universe.
The reason this ends up blowing back on Democrats is they very much want the narrative to be “see guys everything is fine elect Biden again” but everything is very much not fine for the average Joe and so that narrative is irritating. Of course, Biden got handed a shit sandwich by the previous moron whose choices like absurdly low interest rates and PPP giveaways kick-started the inflation that has characterized Biden’s term, but that is lost on many voters. Dems need to directly address voter frustration and stop bandying useless figures like stocks and job market and CPI about. When I see prices go back down at the grocery store because the administration shit down the throats of companies for making excess profits, then I’ll credit Biden with saving us economically. Til then, it’s just noise.
Facebook (Meta) actually has a cutting edge team that researches and fights disinformation, they publish some really cool research every few months I recommend reading it. Unfortunately, their efforts amount to pissing on a wildfire that the rest of the company is doing its best to dump gasoline on, since that team is under-resourced compared to the teams tasked with increasing user engagement.

Previously underweight person here, it really is that simple. Just eat more, consistently, pay attention to it. I gained 35lbs and am now a healthy weight.
It’s worse than “allowed” to use, in the US it’s more like “required to use”. Newer engines that work on unleaded gas exist, and even some older engines are perfectly capable on unleaded gas. However, the FAA has to test and approve each part that goes on an airplane, and it’s a ton of work to do that for every type of airplane engine. Unless the government subsidized such testing and paid for unleaded fuel tanks to be installed all over the country, it’s unlikely to change anytime soon.
Nope I didn’t say anything about moral reasoning, you’re the one talking about that for whatever reason. I’m talking about the law, since the article is claiming the students have a first amendment right to their encampment.
Ok, don’t buy it online then go get it from the thrift store yourself. Oh that takes valuable time and effort? Guess that’s why it was marked up, peoples’ time is worth money.
My case rests, the seller of the book provided you a valuable service then by making a product available to you that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to get, and you’re mad that they made a little money for their time?

The sooner we can stop being dependent on fossil fuels so shitholes like this place can go back to being irrelevant the better. Medieval opinions with unlimited money, what could go wrong?
Unironically yes, at least the US government is something we can openly criticize and attempt to change while living within its borders. Try criticizing the Chinese government from within China, let me know how that works out for you. I’ll take homegrown American spyware any day.
Until the content I want is on another platform, I don’t really have a choice of what platform to go to. Of course, I can also just go outside which YouTube has made more and more appealing by the week, but telling people “just use Peertube” isn’t a solution when the content they want to see simply doesn’t exist there
I have an unactivated windows computer I’ve been using for 3 years, it works fine and even gets updates it just says “activate windows” in the corner of the screen.
