Fascists are the worst assholes out of all the assholes.

Upvote or downvote? It’s not completely clear what you mean by “they”. I think you mean American standards are below European standards. In that case, yes.

Even then, they’re only pro-White assholes.

I think they’re public toilets.

* If you’re a billionaire.

Oh man, that is gross. How can someone write that and think “yup, seems OK”?

Still, Apple’s leadership and most of its rank-and-file are described as “resigned” to these kinds of concessions under Trump’s second term, understanding “that Trump will f— with the company if the company doesn’t do what he wants,” the person said.

Not exactly courageous leadership.

Sounds like something someone stealing Venezuela’s oil would say.

As usual, the Republicans operate by lying about basic facts, and it works because they’ve ensured their supporters are ignorant of basic facts.

Republican fools.

Somehow the word “smug” took human form.

I don’t trust the Ontarians I know who still keep a place in Florida and still plan to retire there, despite everything that has happened in recent years. The only things they pay any attention to are money and sunshine, and they won’t stand up for anything.

Not fighting everyone in the world is weakness! Fascists hate weakness!

There just aren’t any good deals any more. Prices for everything have gone crazy in the last few months. For coding LLMs the cloud services may now be the least worst value, by design, until they hike the prices.

That said, I still just paid way too much for a used graphics card so I could do many things locally, because I just don’t want to give the likes of Sam Altman a single penny.

To be weighed against the profits from having all that new data on user identities.

But remember they’d also have your IP address, which could be linked to a lot of other data. It’s not that IP address + license plate is useful in itself, but that a connection is now made that could be valuable to a data broker who already has other information connected to one or both sides. And even if you fake your IP address, there’s browser fingerprinting.

I’m skeptical, but to play devil’s advocate: I guess it could help a data broker that had some information attached to a license plate number, perhaps including your identity. When you enter your license plate number into this web search, they can associate the IP address and browser fingerprint of the request with the license plate and therefore with your identity and any other data in the first database. This enables them to connect your identity and your vehicle to whatever online activity data they have for that IP address and/or browser fingerprint.

The grocery stores near me have big signs with Canadian flags on, marking some shelves as all Canadian. They wouldn’t bother if they didn’t think it would help sales.

But if you just dismantle democracy you don’t need the people’s support. And that project is well underway.

Surely there are already databases containing all the license plates that have been issued. The useful thing is tracking where people go. So what would such a scam achieve?
