Oh good, the Burrito Taxi app’s gonna tell me I can order the Whopper from McDonald’s.

Also, this is the exact kind of transaction they had in mind when they created the tech, but everyone decided it was only ever for drugs, because that’s what the Wall St owned media told them to think
What were the completely legal products that had Visa and Mastercard standing on the sidelines in 2009? Because without a real life example, I don’t think big media had to do much to get people to ignore this use case at the time.
If people had used cryptocurrency as a currency instead of as a “it’s totally not a security, we swear, even though we’re only saying that to evade SEC regulations a little longer” there’d be a lot fewer people calling it a scam.
For sixteen years, crypto’s only use cases seemed to be buying illegal goods and securities fraud. Finally, we have another use case presenting: perfectly legal transactions that credit card companies have gotten cold feet about.
Demanding that businesses not poison people downwind/downstream from the factory is not giving an unfair advantage to businesses that have good processes.
Yes, they saved the businesses having to train new employees to replace the dead ones.
Look, twenty some odd years ago, we all saw that episode of CSI and it fucked our perception of furries. But we have to move past our sophomore-in-highschool versions of ourselves and protect people who were just minding their own business and got attacked for liking something harmless that other people don’t approve of.
Redraw California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, and Oregon districts to overwhelm the handful of Republican districts there.
Then
Take full advantage of the fact that the R’s are pushing a very unpopular agenda and will have to weaken their advantages in red districts (making them a bit swingier) in order to get rid of blue districts.
Every time I pull the string on the back of this doll it says something nice to me. Is this true love?
It’s decidedly not suspicious. However, considering how hard Trump has been trying to hide the well-known fact that he spent an awful lot of time with his good buddy the child rapist/trafficker, I’m certainly not going to complain that it’s making people look at all of that. And I’ll mostly not highlight how not-suspicious it actually is.
Our product will make all jobs obsolete. That’s why we need to work our employees to death making it!
Fuck. Q was right. There is an elite network of child rapists and those who protect them. It’s the GOP.
Claimed for decades that he wanted a traditional society, but he didn’t die in infancy. Ducking hypocrite.
We had that nearly a century ago.
Guess I’d be coming down with some sort of illness around August 24th if I were a Missouri worker affected by this law and its repeal.
Gonna keep the border safe and stop bad people coming into the country illegally.
Instead (or more likely, eventually), he got “gonna round up anybody who ‘fits the description’ and unperson them into the Dade-Collier concentration camp”
If the last few months haven’t made that clear to people, maybe the next few years will.
Obviously, they’re nothing centrist about this guy (besides, perhaps, his perceived position in the universe). They are, in fact, reactionaries, so definitionally right wing. But they believe they are splitting the difference between the Stalinist left (exemplified by the NYT) and the fascist right (unbeknownst to them, them).
The Dems who, since the shock of the Reagan revolution, swore off having a political project beyond “don’t make it worse” but accidentally foreclosed on making things better in the process. More recently, they’ve been heard saying things like “nothing will fundamentally change” in the face of a political situation that is very different from 40 years earlier.
Basically all the powerful Dems since Bill Clinton. Groups like the Democratic Leadership Council. They’ll poo poo ideas that regularly poll at 80% support across all parties, then spend all their political capital barely carrying a compromise position with 48% support across the finish line.
I really hope that we’re reaching a tipping point where people who believe in a better world and pursue policies to bring it about can have sustained political success
Resonance on a bridge is only able to become an issue if you have everybody actually marching in step (and it’s worth noting that these days they make sure bridges can handle way more than they’re expected to). Getting a crowd of protesters on a bridge walking together is just gonna have the weight of the protesters.
