The justification was that the land the traitors were claiming as their own belonged to America. If they wanted to stop being Americans they had every right to leave, they just had no right take parts of America with them.

The co-chairs have also asked the government to "declare its willingness to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights and repeal the Human Rights Act"

Yikes.

And the support was just store credit, and not even that much of it in the grand scheme of things.

And it was completely a self-serving public relations play: they wanted to show that these respectable journalist organizations were willing to advertise on Xitter to try to convince some of their lost advertisers that it was okay to come back.

Fox is really doing unsubtle "post hoc ergo propter hoc" gesturing at this, huh?

As the university presidents were trying to explain to Clown Shoes, sorry, I mean Elise Stefanik: Harassment is conduct that is severe or pervasive enough to create an environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. A one-time generalized statement calling for genocide not targeted at a specific individual would not usually rise to the level of harassment per se, but can certainly be part of a pattern of harassment. Similarly, actual bullying is a pattern of abusive behavior and cannot be defined by any single act as it is often used colloquially.

That's the game Stefanik is playing: She knows these universities' policies are bound by the actual, legal definitions of "harassment" and "bullying" but she's counting on her ignorant audience not knowing those definitions and instead thinking the words are defined as what they use them for in their own lives: someone being mean.

Those weren't "preoders"; that was another Telsa lie that everyone repeated uncritically. People paid $100 dollars for reservations. That does not represent a firm commitment, nor the wherewithal, to purchase a 6-figure vehicle.

ANNs like this will always just present our own biases and stereotypes back to us unless the data is scrubbed and curated in a way that no one is going to spend the resources to. Things like this are a good demonstration of why they need to be kept far, far away from decision making processes.

Even though Netanyahu is Jewish, he knows using (and in this case abusing) the Christian bible

He's citing the Hebrew Bible.

Musk clarified, “When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life. If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.” Musk’s remarks were obtained from an audio recording of the meeting.

Don't use regulated banks and securities brokers, just give all your money and securities to Elon Musk's new unregulated shadow bank / broker that used to be a functioning social media platform to look after! This sounds a lot like Sam Bankman-Fried's pitch to investors about FTX* and Elon is about as trustworthy as Sam, right? I mean, close to it; Elon isn't that much more untrustworthy than Sam. What could go wrong?

*“I want FTX to be a place where you can do anything you want with your next dollar. You can buy bitcoin. You can send money in whatever currency to any friend anywhere in the world. You can buy a banana. You can do anything you want with your money from inside FTX” ~ SBF

So.... [people don't actually like our products but we maintain dominance by leveraging our market position in every way we can.]

Yeah. That's why you're here.

 

Now, dear The Node reader, what does all this have to do with crypto? Or how can it help you earn money? Well, depending on how the situation shakes out it could have a few implications for crypto as a social movement. Obviously, the ability for a company to make unilateral decisions that severely affect users is a Big Plus for a movement that is advocating for transparency, open access and user control. Perhaps an enterprising lad, laddess or ladx could build the next Reddit, only decentralized.
