No disagreement that it’s gotten worse lately, but the press corps has been weak for 20+ years, now (and it extends well past politics - it’s not like anyone’s holding anyone in tech accountable for anything, either).

Calling VoA “anti-American” is a fascinating bit of spin. It’s unfortunate the entirety of the press room is full of feckless losers more concerned about their follower counts and engagement numbers than calling these people out for lying,

Right? It’s really hard to muster up any sympathy for people falling victim to the exact thing they were promised by the person they overwhelmingly voted for and which they ignored because they were entirely driven by animus for “the othe

How much information do you think your neighborhood PCP is “leaking” compared to, say, Elevance? This is such a goofy take. Are you expecting that every small provider group is just firing your data off on Facebook every Tuesday, and someho

I’m interested, given the massive nursing shortages, why any nurses were using this service at all? Especially for higher levels, there’s no reason to mess with a shitty app that underpays you, when you should be able to walk into any provi

Yeah, no, great point. Very responsive. Clearly you’re a savant. Good luck feeling perpetually aggrieved.

> 1) You assume all people with questions have no medical training, which is untrue. They, as a rule, have no relevant medical training. I get that you think a random RN having a take on vaccines is worth listening to, but they aren’t.

And his base will happily believe it and repeat it as fact (and as reason to further abandon Ukraine) from now on.

Why, specifically, do you think a bunch of people with no medical training and no ability to understand medical literature should be “listened to” about things they absolutely do not, at all, understand? Sorry that it makes you feel bad to

It’s “great” in the sense that this will decimate the US military industry (great or “great” depending on your view of American hegemony). China and Europe will be stronger, and America is absolutely finished as a world power. So much winni

Because the government has a vested interest in the outcomes of the research that $400m is funding? Are you equally confused by why you’re giving Apple or Samsung or whoever $1000 for a phone when the companies are worth billions to trillio

Not really. A single group of people controls every level of the federal government, tacitly supported by every major social media and major media group in the country. There’s no reason they would fear a protest, especially knowing how eas

The market hasn’t been “cornered” any more than breakfast has been “cornered” by eggs and bacon, but I dig the irony, here. How do you plan to address this supposed monopoly? Force all children born in February and March to use Android only

What, specifically, would protests accomplish? The people in power, in every level of our government, do not care . No one else has any power to do anything. The media provably doesn’t tell the truth about protests, and just looks for the

As long as these dudes are rich, they will never care. They will always be able to leave, or hire significant personal security, and will never be at risk. They are modern kapos, and they’d have happily sold every other Jew to the Germans i

That seems naive or not responsive to the comment. If the US government tells Google to shut down all international sites/servers, or it will cease to exist in the US, I don’t think “but the servers aren’t in the US” will really matter

Yup. Anyone still there tacitly endorses this nonsense, especially including the feckless “journalists”, too scared to lose their follower counts.

Why on earth do you think they care? They won. Their voters will never hold them accountable, and non-voters are sniveling, feckless trash who won’t say a word as long as they’re not required to get off of TikTok or Facebook. No one cares w

It’s always funny to read, on a tech forum, writing “critiques”, which always boil down to “this was bad and I didn’t like it.” I can’t think of anything you could’ve said that would have had less value and belonged more on X or reddit. Thi

If they cared about Zuck’s moral compass, they wouldn’t have worked on giving teen girls depression and making the world shittier in the first place. There are zero good people working at Meta.
