They lost all trust with the proposed changes. No amount of apologies or non-apologies are going to matter at this point. It’s entirely damage control on the Titanic now. I don’t believe there’s anything that can rescue the sinking ship that is Unity.

NO WINE AT DINNER!?!?!?

China has applied sanctions on U.S. companies over selling weapons to Taiwan on numerous occasions before, and it is not immediately clear how they work or what they are intended to achieve given that neither company sells to China.

Big old nothingburger here…

@stopthatgirl7, I appreciate the downvote, however I’d like to add that this contributes to the conversation and the trend of using the word “slam” in every article that poses a reactionary comment by someone, or an entity against something another someone or entity officially says.

It’s apparent that it’s low effort in the attempt to generate clicks. Quite frankly, I agree with Taiwan’s comments against Elon “I open my mouth garbage spews forth” Musk. I just don’t agree with the headline.

“Slams” equates to low effort shitposting, even by the likes of NBC. As a business bootlicker CNBC is no stranger to clickbait…

Alternatives to the word “Slam(s)” include: animadversion, aspersion, jab, obloquy, potshot, slap, slur, stricture, and swipe

Seems character count is apparently expensive even in bit format as a digital character.

Not even an anonymous threat, which could have been implied by the initial reporting. Riccitiello used this opportunity to cancel a town hall event where he could be confronted with these controversial changes by overblowing the actual threat to his company and his employees. Wow, coming from this sleazebag I’m not surprised.

EDIT

So now, anytime a CEO or representative uses death threats and/or retaliation against employees as an excuse to interrupt company functions it could be considered entirely suspect. He’s not the first to do it recently (fuck you u/Spez), but this doesn’t help respond against actual credible threats to people from disgruntled users.

Nobody wants to work anymore…

YouTube, Forbes…

Pillars of journalism.

They used to make their computers with components that could be upgraded. That stopped a decade ago. Hopefully we’ll get to see products like that again. It would be a refreshing change.

The next day, nine days later…JHC within the microcosm of things it’s a gaffe. Something Biden is known to do, and based on his dyslexia it’s entirely possible he misread a teleprompter.

Mountain, meet molehill. Point is, Biden did visit Ground Zero. Whether it was the next day or the next week, he still did it.

In Havana, prosecutor José Luis Reyes told state TV that suspects are being investigated for crimes, including being a mercenary or recruiting mercenaries, and could face sentences of up to 30 years or life in prison, or even the death penalty.

I’m on kbin.social, and I still only see two downvotes on the parent post. So this is interesting.

You have a ghosts following you, it seems.

One single downvote, a brigade does not make.

This is where we are with Elon Musk and X/Twitter. He’s a passive sympathizer because he allows the content. What makes matters worse is he’s trying to blame it on the ADL instead of taking responsibility for it.

Since it’s an arms deals via NATO, with weapons provided by the U.S., it seems fairly obvious the terms of the treaty include consent and/or approval when repurposing arms to non-member states.

I’m shocked that the first openly gay senator Tammy Baldwin is a co-sponsor for the bill. You bet I’m writing her.

When, around the dinner table, I complain about politics, I often then turn to my 12-year-old twins, and ask “What is the solution?” They chant in unison, “Cleansing Nuclear Fire!” Thus, one of my children got me this desk ornament for Father’s Day:

Well isn’t that just solid parenting.
