I'm really amused by how these were seen 100 years before ViewMaster.

Thank you! Do you know what law she's referring to them breaking? Her forceful delivery seems to imply something less mundane than flag code.

What is this in response to?

This was the original control for cable TV. And if you bribed the install guy with cash he would set it to give you premium channels you didn't pay for in c/[email protected]

The one in my yard was inside a green plastic dome with a lock connecting the dome to a collar around the base… only the entire thing was connected to the ground with a thin wooden stake. We just lifted the entire covering out of the ground, still locked. Unscrew the filter, free HBO!

Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US in c/[email protected]

They didn’t make “back” money, they’re just making money. His friends are the ones telling him to say insane shit that drives the market (or specific targeted stocks like Apple) down, then they buy while it’s low. After a few days/weeks, he changes his mind/can’t enforce his nonsense and the stock goes back up, his friends sell and have nothing but profit. The majority of the shit he does is market manipulation to benefit himself and anyone riding his coattails.

But there IS a new Rayman game coming. I think this is an old meme from before Crash 5 got cancelled?

Cornell, who has led the Minneapolis-based retail chain since 2014, received $9.9 million in total compensation for 2024, an 87% drop from his 2020 peak of $77.5 million.

What the actual fuck? Why are humans being paid $10m A YEAR, let alone over $75m?!

OPINION: If your views don't align with either presidential candidate, vote for the one you'd rather protest against for the next 4 years. (lemmy.world)
 

Nobody likes voting for the “lesser of two evils.” Casting a vote in favor of someone who is diametrically opposed to your viewpoint(s) absolutely sucks. The shitty reality is that we aren’t going to change the electoral process in the next two months.

If you don’t see either major candidate as a champion that you can support, it seems more beneficial to see it as selecting your enemy for the next four years. I would rather fight against someone that I have a chance of changing. At minimum I would rather protest against someone that I think has a lower chance of authorizing lethal force against a march that I attend.

Voting for a 3rd presidential candidate (or not voting at all), is letting someone else make that decision for you.

That said, we have got to get out of this constant cycle of only having two options. There’s too much money at a national level to start there. We’ve got to start local and get third party candidates into offices at a city level, then state, then national. It’s going to take a long time and it should have happened so very long ago. We can’t change the past, we can only change the future. The only time to start changing the future is in the present.
