Lol no.

Yup, the West wanted war so bad they invaded…wait, no, that’s obviously bullshit.

Swapping one states’ propaganda for another isn’t enlightened, its just plain stupid.

What am I missing, here?

Well, for starters, you seem to be missing anything resembling a coherent argument… 🤪

False. Nobody in this thread has made any claim that can be reasonably interpreted as “antisemites don’t exist”.

I just switch to desktop mode and never had any problem…

And I guess you’re just asking questions??

Not every act is a sign of somebody having an agenda or whatever…

No. Read it again. I never said allegation. I never referenced court proceedings. I said the act of rape is indefensible.

If you commit rape, there is no “decent” defense. If you didn’t, then my comment doesn’t apply. Simple as that.

There is no excuse for sexual violence, and there never will be.

Your reply is completely unrelated to what I said. There is no such thing as a decent defense for raping someone. If they didn’t rape anyone, good! If they did, that is an indefensible act by its very nature.

I made no comment at all on whether or not any specific individual is guilty or not. So I’m really confused what your point is here…?

Your choice of words was absolutely terrible. There is no such thing as a decent defense of rape. Now, an effective defense in our busted legal system? That’s a whole different story. But “decent” does not apply in cases of sexual assault and violence. Ever.

I’ve always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It’s kinda the first step of the process.

I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there’s not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It’s hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.

So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don’t know anything anyway! :-p

I’m a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?

Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.

Doesn’t this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?

I must assume I’m misunderstanding your argument…?

Hiring at a pay rate nobody wants, more like.

Actually, they made the argument in court that they are not in the news business. Even said that any reasonable person would know it’s satire.

Wait what now? Trump knows something about foreign policy? Not a chance, bub. Trump doesn’t know squat. Other than being an effective distraction from his handlers so the ones actually pulling the strings can stay out of the public’s general awareness. But, then again, he’s stupid enough to think he matters, so I doubt he even realizes he has handlers.

Trump doesn’t do strategy. Period. He’s dumber than a stack of bricks, and you know it. So, no, there is absolutely no ulterior motive. There is no plan. He has no ability to think ahead. He has never had to take any actual responsibility, and is therefore utterly incapable of anything other rash impulsive stupidity.

Giving that loser any credit just makes you sound like a complete idiot. Just don’t. Please.

Oh, really. What credibility? Bush Sr and Jr already had demolished most of what remained, and Trump gathered up anything left and set it on fire. There was literally nothing left to destroy.

I think you may have misunderstood. The entire point is to have an academic term that would never be used as a search by one of those inhuman lowlifes.

I don’t mean to be pedantic, so I hope my meaning came across well enough…

I recommend Digital Blasphemy. He creates all of his wallpapers using 3d modeling and rendering tools, but plenty of them look like nature or space photography. Personally love the style, but I suppose it’s not for everybody.

Anyway, he tenders all of his work in a variety of resolutions and aspect ratios; should be possible to find versions suitable for each monitor.

I know it’s not what you asked, but check out So Low lotion for men by Hello Cake. :-D

Says the guy cheerleading genocide committed by an authoritarian regime. Why do you even care that I, a complete stranger, an critical of their actions? If you’re so confident in “your” conclusions, why would you be threatened by somebody whose life as literally no chance of affecting you?

As much as I want to believe words exist to knock some sense into you, I give up. (Anyone else wanna bet how long he sits and fumes about my refusal to abandon my beliefs to replace them with the party line? Probably spent the entire day between my response and his angrily trying to come up with the perfect rebuttal.)

Go ahead buddy, scream into the wind. You ain’t got anything to say worth listening for…

Still ignoring context. But that’s fine, because any article critical is Israel is obviously written in bad faith, huh?

Whatever. If suggest touching grass, but that’d probably be toxic for the grass, and the environment is already messed up enough already…
