Richard 'I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it' Stallman?

That Richard Stallman?

(I know he has since changed his views, the 'allergic to PR' part just seemed to be a bit of an understatement. Not trying to start an argument, just thought that was funny)

The explanation was helpful to me cuz I actually had no idea what it meant (this isn't a joke but my life is)

Do EVs have connecting rods? The article does go into right to repair, sounds like the company is pro DIY repair so that's promising at least.

The craziest part of that article is

Vice co-founder Shane Smith stepped down as CEO in 2018, but has remained the company's (...) The Canadian-born journalist’s focus seems to be trained on the southern border, with an editorial line closer to Trump campaign fearmongering than hard news reporting. (Smith is not to be confused with Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes, who left the media company and established the far-right militant group the Proud Boys).

So two of the three Vice media founders are now far right? I tried to find out more about Suroosh Alvi, the third founder, but didn't see much. Though on his X (🤢) he posts and reports a bunch of pro Gaza stuff.

I shouldn't be surprised cuz it looks like they all got rich off Vice, but still.

I signed up and got an email with a link to the apk. I'd share, but it looks like it's personalized to my email maybe? and it doesn't work anymore

Zeezee already has a great reply. I'd also like to add that gender dysphoria isn't the same as being trans, it's possible to be trans and not have dysphoria

Kinda random but it also broke Canon scan software

The first article doesn't say he's not fascist (unless I missed it somehow or it got lost in translation. I'm an English only pleb)

And I found the second article (in English 😅) since your link has it paywalled. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/29/trump-rally-fascism-politics

I understand the argument, but don't find it overwhelmingly convincing. They even start the article mentioning how well respected historians believe he's fascist, as well as former White House staff.

I'd argue that just because he's not been totally supportive of violence doesn't excuse the times he was promoting violence. And I think his actions show he would be more openly supportive of violence if he knew he could get away with it

Because crimes should be handled in a criminal court case with real consequences, not a civil case. But that's not likely to happen.

So if someone did sue them, and against all odds they won, and the money they received somehow properly compensated for their loss (i.e. a loved ones preventable death), then the company that extracts billions of dollars from Americans every year would lose a couple million. The company would be unaffected and have no meaningful consequences for their willfully unethical behavior. We'd have to have thousands of successful lawsuits to have meaningful consequences.
