  • Every once in a while I turn on actual television — usually when I stay in a hotel. I’m always completely blown away by the number of ads. It’s almost a joke at this point. Sorry. I don’t have the attention span for 5 minute ad breaks anymore. It’s like equal parts show and ads too.

  • Pelosi too

  • The second one reminds me of elementary school because we had exactly that model.

  • I get downvoted for this on Lemmy, but if you want to make AOC the voice of the Democratic Party, exercise your first amendment rights and donate to her: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/alexandria-ocasio-cortez

    You bet her billionaire opponents are also exercising their “free” speech with their money.

  • Lock him up. Don’t see anything in the constitution that says the president is immune from prison for a crime he committed before he took office.

  • I feel like if you want to hold government office you should 1. Give up all your wealth. 2. In exchange for this, you get a rock solid $500,000 salary. This isn’t because you are an elite, this is because paying you well makes it harder to bribe you. 3. When you lose your seat or step down, you can never work again in your life. This is to prevent you from ever taking on a lobbying job or otherwise using your power to enrich yourself and influence government for special interests. In exchange for this, you can take 80% of your salary that you had while in office until you die.

    These changes hopefully would give office holders enough personal financial security to focus on making decisions without being influenced by external money.

  • Now there is a name I haven’t heard in awhile.

  • Really? I don’t see them represented

  • Didn’t know about Luigi being blocked. Is there a post about that?

    As for parenthood, I’m guessing it is on some blocklist of words related CSAM. Parenthood is associated with children after all. It’s obviously a blunt instrument to block things this way and results in “false positives.”

  • Lemmy.World got inundated with CSAM in its early days

  • Have you seen Tesla stock lately? It’s way up. Elon Musk is worth over $400 billion these days largely because of Tesla.

  • Tesla is Musk’s cash cow though

  • Oh great

  • Yes, but if AOC becomes a fundraising juggernaut she’ll be harder to ignore

  • I’ll learn it if you pay me $1 million/year

  • So, in this world. Once you become the baker, guess who is next?

  • So what you’re saying is - it’s pretty fucking clear. Steve Bannon is, as per usual, completely full of shit.

  • A little “narrow minded” here leaving out the Indians, Mexicans, Eastern European, and Chinese.
