“Whose” should probably be “thats”. But a native English speaker will occasionally personify things and so the meaning would be the same, but you are correct.

They paid him just shy of 400k. The stock and options he was given have nothing to do with reported losses. It’s all monopoly money until IPO, them we’ll see what it’s worth.

Yeah, we know. But again… the whataboutism. Countries exist because of war and oppression. It’s time to move past that as an excuse.

This is a joke, though, as you are just projecting and doing what you’ve accused me of. Just don’t bother. Rounding up and sterilizing your citizens. And China famously gunned protesters down in the streets. So I don’t want to hear about how we handle protesters compared to China.

Bro… the current leadership of China committed genocide on their own soil and have been attempting to expand their borders for decades.

China is not a good partner for playing the lesser of 2 evils game. You’d be at it all day with the whataboutism.

This matches my experience, as well.

My VW is like this as well. I don’t like it either.

The tech and price still aren’t there yet. Until these can fit in your pocket or cost a weeks salary for your average person, it’s just a luxury toy very few will ever use.

It’s actually not saying that at all. I specifically said that I expected her to dislike it.

The rest of us, less emotionally invested in the person as a person and more as a deceased performer, will have differing opinions.

The creators of this and articles around it keep referring to it as an impression that speaks to their motives a little. This is why i used that common colloquialism. I suspect that the timing of this may be motivated by recent news surrounding the actors’ strikes.

Demonstrating how this could be used to convincingly create content from an actor without any of their intentional input (evident by him being dead) should make people question these capabilities more, just like they did when people first started seeing convincing deep fakes.

My thoughts exactly. It’s being represented as exactly what it is, but I don’t think the daughter raised by George Carlin would be happy about it.

It reminds me of the quote, “Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

They can. Make it mandatory on any new construction and require it as a part of remodels while offering solar incentives for their covevered parking lots.

Governments exist to help with stuff like this.

I think they meant because 500 people who also work there are losing their jobs.

That was my experience on blahaj. I’d never been banned from a community, let alone one I’ve been an ally to before. Such a pure echo chamber that even discussing why the outside world holds the views they have, even without expressing agreement, gets you labeled a transphobe.

Honestly, it soured me on lemmy as a whole since that was the content I had been enjoying the most.

Rude and wrong.

Are we not discussing the article? We are using this website differently, I guess.

It’s in the article, isn’t it? If they weren’t writing American flame bait, it would just be about European buying trends. You don’t have to say they are rejecting anything.

Neither of the SUVs I’ve owned were American. The Germans were happy enough to make and sell one of them while the Koreans made the other.

I’m just tired of articles being written like it’s a rejection of American ideals when it probably isn’t a factor on anyone’s mind at the time of purchase. Rage bait, pure and simple.

Peoples reaction to my post kinda demonstrates why it works, though. They are so anti-american that being called on the unnecessary inclusion of us in the headline gets people upset. Don’t let your media turn us into boogiemen for the cars that some people buy. We do enough real shit to get mad about without making up stuff.

Little weirdos are obsessed with the US. Buy whatever you want, why they gotta try to make this about America when this is just about European buying habits?

True~ish. Farmers get subsidies in general, not just ranchers. But this is also Hamburger we are talking about. If the meatless patties were to replace the steak in a steak sandwich, they’d be more comparable in “price for function” comparison. The meat in hamburger patties is recovery from more expensive cuts and is basically designed to be cheap while the meatless patties are specifically designed to replace them.

It’s like building a small fence with pallet wood vs. what you’d buy at a lowes or something. Neither is gonna be priced at the premium of a boutique lumber mill or restaurant, but their inception doesn’t startvevenly.

Same. I’ve almost completely stopped using these delivery services because of the extreme costs and middling performance.

When people constantly complain about how underpaid they are doing this job, I realized that I don’t want to pay what people actually want to get paid for this service, so I’ll just stop. Like paying 15 fees and tip is already too much for only 1-2 peoples worth of food. I’d consider it less painful for 6 people’s dinner.

We do. But on Halloween, we trade showing off our children in cute costumes for candy. And I mean… I also buy candy for the other kids.

It’s a holiday.

Teenagers in costumes are less cute.

I’ll pass out candy to anyone who comes to the door, and I like offering to parents as well, but I judge parents that have a big bucket for themselves the same way I judge people that empty bowls at unattended houses. Just because it’s technically allowed doesn’t make it approved.

I just assumed that was them leaving off, “without giving her a bunch of shit.”

Bullying your siblings isn’t just a right but your social obligation sometimes!
