It doesn’t matter to anybody who has already made up their mind to vote/not vote for him.

It matters that justice is done and that the system holds him accountable.

Cut him a break, he’s pioneering sandwich making with this innovative tech. A few hiccups are to be expected.

Oh boy, and they just removed “steering wheel nag” in a recent update. I can’t imagine that will have any unintended consequences.

It’s a big stretch to call this a debate.

I feel like the context of that statement is self-evident, considering it’s a top level comment, but since you seem to be stubbornly obstinate about it, I’ll break it down for you.

Meta is a private company and can do whatever the fuck they like.

This is in direct response to RFK complaining that his first amendment rights were being infringed by Meta. The thing that presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr. apparently doesn’t understand about the constitution is that 1st amendment rights shall not be infringed by the U.S. government. No law or statute can be passed that would limit or remove one’s freedom of expression. However, as I mentioned in another post in this same comment chain, Meta is not a government entity. By using their platform, you agree to their rules. They get to set the rules as whatever they want and you agree to abide by them so long as you are an account holder. If they decided that they don’t want anyone to say the word “Facebook” anymore and started banning people for saying it, that would be fully within their rights as a private entity, albeit unfair. This is no different than a platform like Lemmy banning you for posting Nazi shit or CSAM. You do not have unlimited free speech in private forums, and that’s a fact.

So when I said “Meta can do whatever the fuck they want”, I’m not sure how you possibly came to the conclusion that what I meant was “Meta doesn’t have to follow laws”. Of course they have to follow laws, everybody does. But if they aren’t breaking any laws, they can do as they please with their platform. When I asked you what the law in question was that was being broken, you responded with nothing but deflection, because you’re a clueless simpleton and you have no idea what you’re talking about.

This guy shouldn’t be let anywhere near a position of decision making, let alone the highest office in the nation.

Given that I previously highlighted how out-of-touch RFK is with the substance of the constitution, this should come as no surprise. Anybody stupid enough to use a response from a AI chatbot as “proof” of anything is technologically illiterate and deserves to be ridiculed.

“Debate” over. You are blocked.

I don’t believe in crypto either because it’s current value is solely derived on how much you can exchange it for real money. Outside of a few edge cases, nobody buys anything with crypto outside of the black market.

I’m sure crypto is a great solution to some finance problems related to centralized banking that I’m too lazy or dumb to care about, but I look at the energy consumption to calculate these massive chains for little tangible benefit, and the scammers and hypemen who are profiting off of other people’s hopes and desires to get rich quick on the next big boom, and I can’t help but feel like it’s an actively harmful element of society. At the very least, whatever regulations are currently in place that are attempting to reign in crypto are insufficient at reducing harm.

I am refuting your statement that they don’t have to follow laws.

What kind of nonsense strawman is this? Quote me on where I said that, because I didn’t anywhere in any of my posts.

Okay, so you have no clue what you’re talking about. Got it 👌

Again, what laws are you referring to? I want to hear you explain it.

Meta is not the government. Something being government funded does not make it an apparatus of the government. There has been no curtailing of 1st amendment rights here.

Okay sure, but there’s nothing on the books that says that meta has to allow people to use their platform. You are not entitled to unlimited access to a private service.

Ever single person from RFK and Donald Trump to you and me all sign the exact same fucking EULA and TOS when you register for an account. Stop holding these people above the law by pretending that the rules shouldn’t apply to them.

Which law are you referencing?

You agree to their EULA and TOS when you make your account. In that, there exists a clause that states that you can be banned for any reason or no reason at all at the site administrators discretion.

So explain to me again how meta is in the wrong here?

Meta is a private company and can do whatever the fuck they like.

This guy shouldn’t be let anywhere near a position of decision making, let alone the highest office in the nation.

For example, they ( mostly miyomoto ) has been quoted to not understand that people want another f-zero, as the game’s principals and ideas have been fully flushed out and no new ideas could make it feel like something new.

This is also why we’ll never get another Star Fox.

sad furry noises 😿

This is well timed considering the TikTok ban timeline. Loops will have enough time to sort out any bugs or issues right now with a slow trickle of traffic and then probably grow exponentially in the power vacuum left behind when TikTok vanishes from the various app stores.

The French heavily curate their language too, which probably contributes to it’s reliability and overall clarity. There are official words with official pronunciations, gendering, etc. No willy-nilly adding words from colloquialisms or slang like in English.

Edit: omg I can’t believe I forgot about marquees. Do that too.

I was kind of hoping that Apple and Tesla would just feud with each other for control of the “economy-quality product marketed as a luxury-quality product” market share.

TurboTax lobbys the US Government heavily to keep free alternatives from existing. At one point in time, the IRS was going to allow everyone to be able to report their taxes directly via their website and Intuit and the rest of the tax preparation software developers moved heaven and earth to kill the legislation that would have allowed it.

So, to answer the question, there’s nothing wrong with TurboTax except for the fact that it’s run by a private company that charges you a fee for something that the federal government could operate for free. If you want to keep paying a 3rd party to send the IRS the information they already have, then the system works just fine.

I always thought that Fox was a cool name for a dude ever since I watched the X-Files. If I had to change my first name, that’s what I’d pick.

More proof that justice is a multi-tiered system in America. Restrictions over cruel and unusual punishment don’t apply to to the bottom rung of society when you have made the mistake of offending a rich capitalist or corporation.
