Personally, I’ve long since adopted as my criteria “this would be satire in a sane world”.

Otherwise, there’d hardly be ANYTHING that qualifies anymore 🤷

1: accept money to show ads that violate your own terms and conditions

2: remove legitimate content exposing your double standards using the ads that you were successfully paid to allow as a pretense

3: remove every link to articles critical of you containing so much as a textual reference to the fact that humans have bodies, citing “nudity”

4: threaten journalists with expulsion if they don’t take the hint and shut up

5: ???

6: profit. To the tune of dozens of billions of dollars a year, eclipsing the individual GDP of over half of all countries and the GDP of the 20 poorest countries COMBINED.

I wonder if any friends of Luigi have access to Zuckerberg’s itinerary…

New government regulation causes companies to adapt or die

I curse the day some scumbag ruined everything by adding the third option “regulatory capture” 🤬😮‍💨

So the amount of competition is the exact same as when it was run by the government like crucial infrastructure is supposed to, but the quality is the same or worse?

Sounds about capitalistic…

Innovation is a byproduct of capitalism searching for new things to sell.

That’s the BEST case scenario. Much more often, the “innovation” consists of taking something that already exists and making it worse by all other metrics in order to make it more profitable.

Huh. I sit corrected about that part, I guess 🤷

world is based on Denmark iirc

Nope. I’m not sure which but I’m 100% certain that it’s based in either Canada or the US

per Denmark law, it’s illegal to discuss jury nullification in regards to future crime

No such law here either. Just like in the US, it might lead you to not being selected, but it’s not illegal.

Let’s do [crime] and then we can get people on our side to do jury nullification" is illegal

True, but it’s only the "let’s do crime that’s (conditionally) illegal. The mention of jury nullification doesn’t make it any more or less illegal to probably and knowingly advocate crime.

Anyway, since that kind of thing is EXTREMELY difficult to prove, it’s exceedingly rare that anyone gets punished for that particular crlme, making your point a moot one.

In conclusion: I feel completely safe in stating the truth that when the law and the systems it protects is unjust, the just break the law and others should try and help them avoid undue or excessive punishment in Denmark.

Also, my American girlfriend insists on pronouncing the Dutch surname of new Liverpool manager like that.

Granted, that IS pretty close to the correct pronunciation of “Slot” in Danish (which means castle or palace and is also the name of a cheap but potable beer), at least 🤷

I don’t know about the other Nordic countries, but here in Denmark, “fag” also means profession and is used as a colloquial term for many related groups and concepts.

On a slightly related but hilarious to me note, “bad” being Danish for “bath” and a company refusing to change with the times to accommodate an increasingly international marketplace has resulted in one of the most successful mid tier bathroom design companies in the country still being called “Bad Design” 😄

I very much like that, by all reliable reports, Scunthorpe is a real cunt of a town 😁

Personally I’m thinking of him being a man of impeccable taste for apparently having waffles with nutella! 🤤

I suspect the other two don’t either

Shouldn’t there be some sort of baseline of sanity for community moderators?

There should, but isn’t. I recently got into a mutually uncivil argument on the .ml world news community. A tankie kept abusively pestering me long after I told them to leave me alone and I made the mistake of voicing my irritation in stead of ignoring them.

While the tankie received no mod action, I was banned not only from that community, but also from the USA news community, the technology community and the fucking MEME community, in spite of none of them being relevant to the topic at hand (Chinese government ethnically cleansing Tibetans).

And it was Dessalines (creator of Lemmy and ml admin) taking time out of his no doubt busy schedule to make sure that some guy who commented on a post about China’s atrocities couldn’t upvote memes for a month. Seemingly too busy to respond to my appeal, though, because of COURSE 🤦

So nah, when probably the closest thing to a “leader” Lemmy has is himself an unhinged tankie, there’s really no sanity required…

"I’ve been feeling under the weather for a while, so I went down to the Food Club to see Dr Wow. Turns out that my body is critically low on cherry cola!“

Especially when it’s almost 250 years old and treated like a religious text.

This hits differently on your birthday 😄

“Oh yeah. I’m triggering myself aaaall night long!”

Nope, I used the ancient art of tyromancy to ascertain which day my birthday falls on this year.

Thanks 😁
