The easy answer is, money. Lots of it. With the deregulation of financial crimes (let’s see how badly the IRS gets gutted now), it doesn’t matter where the money comes from. But it will be necessary to invest heavily in the next midterm and presidential election to ensure JD Vance doesn’t automatically win.
The internet archive is based in the US. Until they relocate to a safe alternative, it doesn’t matter how much money they receive.
Not gonna lie, this battle will be uphill against entrenched industries like big oil, crypto, big tobacco, the military industrial complex, and billionaires like Elon Musk.
But you can’t roll over and let these assholes ravage the country. Conscientious objection to dubious orders happened during the Vietnam War, and it can happen again if Trump goes rogue.
Correct. The time was in July but that guy missed.
If they attempt to abolish term limits I think we’re actually going to see a civil war.
Americans aren’t special. They’re just as vulnerable to fascism as anybody else.
The MAGATs might as well be wearing brownshirts and saluting like Mussolini.
The Patriarchy strikes again!
They can also prevent you from losing your job unfairly, and fight for wage increases and benefits that you otherwise wouldn’t get.
If you’re going to die because you can’t afford it, then does the risk really matter?
You used a VPN… Right?
Not too hard to achieve after seeing how dead set Musk is on killing Twitter…
I like to use the Wirecutter from the New York Times as a starting point, though I often ignore the products recommended because the links are typically to American online retailers that I’m unlikely to use. I pay more attention to the various aspects used to recommend their choices, then check other reviews from specialized hobbyist forums when available. Finally, if I find the product in a store I will ask to demo it before buying.
YouTube can be helpful if you can cut through the clutter or need to see head to head testing between your short list items. Don’t blindly search there though because the algorithm is shit.
You could always don a stage persona like Marshmello or Daft Punk. Then nobody cares what you look like under the mask.
This is disingenuous. Scammers have gotten smarter over the years and not everybody is technologically savvy. All it takes is a perfect storm of factors for even the most experienced people to fall prey to scams.
Stop victim blaming and focus on education. It’s the only way this gets better.
Obligatory fuck /u/Spez.
This type of behavior needs to be regulated. Foreign interference isn’t acceptable, and if Canada passes the online harms act then the ensuing regulator needs to handle situations like this or at least hand out massive fines for greed and indifference.
Your situation is not applicable to why the lawsuit exists.
It’s the idiots that pirated and leaked TOTK a week before the release date that gave Nintendo ammunition for this case. As a result, everybody who is using Yuzu legitimately will suffer for it.
It does exist: that’s what Late Stage Capitalism was all about.
Honest fact based journalism is an essential pillar of a functional democracy. Being informed is absolutely in the public interest, and government funding should support it, precisely because it often isn’t profitable or sustainable for private companies (as we keep seeing over the years).
I don’t understand why this is so hard to grasp. And the people whining about liberal bias and calling for defunding of public media are missing the forest for the trees (even if some of the journalism is questionable in quality).
Even a scooter or motorcycle is better than a car (though not necessarily safer).
Voting third party is fine. Protest voting is acceptable, though this result still fucking sucks. Strategic voting doesn’t have to be the default choice.
Anybody that did NOT vote, thinking it would be any sort of protest, is completely idiotic. Self imposed disenfranchisement only forfeits your own ability to say anything about the results.
