Covered in a previous comment. Floyd was complaining he couldn't breathe before police even restrained him. The autopsy also showed he had a lethal concentration of fentanyl in his…

This comment has no relevance to anything. I never said law-abiding is a requirement for life. But I can all but guarantee you will not be able to find more than one or two example…

That doesn't happen which is the point. If it did, the cops would get fired. Pretty much the only time cops kill somebody is when they're resisting arrest after committing a seriou…

Cops almost never kill law-abiding citizens in the line of duty, so I doubt you'll be able to find much evidence supporting this claim. And no, you're not a law-abiding citizen if …

And for those that aren't familiar with Caltrain, that train blasts its horn two or three times before each stop and the horn is so loud that you can hear it from a mile away. Livi…

You're essentially saying "don't use data to inform your decisions." This is trolling at best. No idea how this is the top comment here.

Every website on the open web is a walled garden. Attacking Facebook for doing something every other website does is an attack on the open web. Your argument is tantamount to sayin…

They could very easily opt out of getting scraped by Google. They choose not to though because it is beneficial to them to have Google help people find their content. Also note, Au…

Metallica almost certainly still got paid, so I doubt they care much. Blizzard is probably furious.

"Money is made up therefore it serves no purpose" is just a bafflingly implication. Care to provide any detail at all about how your moneyless society is going to work?

Flagged. The original poster has a long history of posting content with the goal of starting political flamewars.

Google Play Store is a monopoly. Developers literally can't leave unless they want their android installs to decline by 99%.

That post is three hours old with 1000+ points but is somehow ranked below multiple older posts with fewer points. It's currently ranked #27 putting it at the bottom of the homepag…

Let's see if the DOJ goes after them for predatory pricing first. Twitter may have bought themselves enough favor with the Biden administration that he'll let it slide.

Yup, the argument that they must be evil because they're named after a crystal ball from Lord of the Rings is one of the least convincing things I've ever heard. I have no idea why…

It's the exact opposite of parasitic. Search engines scrape your site so that they can help users find your site. If you don't want Google scraping your content, add a noindex dire…

How exactly do you think Australia is going to enforce this mandate if Google has no presence in Australia. Are they going to have the military invade California?

The mainstream media won't pick this up because they like Twitter. If Facebook had done this, WaPo and CNN would be all over it.

I'm starting to think that the degeneration of society into a 1984-style dystopia may now be unavoidable. We need to take power back from big tech and we need to do it now.

Entirely depends on what the goals of the union are. If you want to improve your position in search rankings, a union is not going to help you. If you're a youtube creator who want…

Twitter censoring content is only a problem because they have a near monopoly in their domain and present themselves as a platform for everybody. There's no national discussion abo…

Pouring gasoline on the fire is kind of the point. Take away people's option to peacefully voice their opinion and violence is the only remaining option. The hope is that these peo…

Not surprising. The election of a Democrat government has emboldened them to start censoring their political enemies with less fear of government reprisal. This should hopefully sp…

Because it serves as a jumping off point for people of a certain political persuasion to agitate for political change.

Pretty much every politician ever has used manipulative language to try to make themselves sound better than they are. It's why abortion activists call themselves pro-life/pro-choi…
