I don’t think there’s any practical way for that to happen and I expect you’d want to put tires over top of these anyway. Which will themselves be very expensive because they won’t be able to mount regular tires on them.

On the other hand every time you need to replace a wheel (one of the most easily damaged parts of your car) you’re probably shelling out a quarter of a car in cost.

Am I an influencer now?

You aren’t making any money from it, so, no.

Like it or not, people make a living doing this.

By absolutely lying your ass off, that’s how

Such as grifting idiots with promises of fortune and glory.

But if you explain to the children why it’s important to not abuse this one button, it will hopefully reduce the number.

I had actual bomb threats called in to my high school weekly for such reasons as “I didn’t want to take my math test”. I can guarantee with certainty this button would be constantly abused in American schools.

Between a choice of “you will never be arrested for anything, ever, no matter how heinous” vs “You can be arrested at any time for any reason or no reason, at the whim of your government” I cannot say with confidence which of those is worse.

That is the Fediverse. “Threadiverse” was a buzzword made up by Meta when they tried to force attach Threads to us.

Someone must still be responsible for monitoring all this, pulling the trigger on platforms that fit the criteria, and then actually enforcing that trigger pull, though. They will be, by definition, one step behind the public at all times, following them from platform to platform to tell them “you can’t be here anymore”.

People want X (variable, not ex-twitter), the government doesn’t want people to have X, so the government bans X. The people still have X. This fits into the same nutshell that the War on Drugs does and the drugs are winning that one pretty resoundingly, and you have to actually go out in public and buy those. I don’t see a reason why the War on Social Media is going to go differently especially when anyone can set up a VPN from the comfort and privacy of their living room.

This is not sustainable at all and is going to lead to a chain of banning app after platform after app as users move to the next thing and the government struggles to keep up with regulation.

I can’t say I’m surprised by American government clown show tactics at this point but this is, most definitely, clown show tactics.

“This article cannot be true because it contains an ad on the page” 🙄

Yes that’s very sane and reasonable of you

California has the fifth largest economy in the world, Texas has half the GDP of California and still manages to post a net loss.

There’s a reason we clown on Texas about it and that reason is because Texas quite literally cannot survive on its own but screeches constantly about threatening secession. California on the other hand would survive just fine without a single one of the entire rest of the States but they don’t constantly remind everyone of that fact.

Texas gets made fun of for it because the answer to “Well what would you do without Texas, huh???” is… I’d pay less taxes because Texas wouldn’t be sucking down a bunch of surplus anymore.

but the reason was for the worker safety because of the hostility by the right wing.

Notably, local conservatives out firing guns at FEMA who showed up to try and save their lives.

If I’m helping save your life and you send a bullet whizzing past my head then yeah, I’m going to leave you where you are as well.

This, of course, was reported as “FEMA is refusing to help Republicans!” and not “Local Conservatives perform war crime, fire deadly weapons at humanitarian aid”

Got any proof of that?

Because if not, then you’re pushing your own conspiracy theory on par with pizzagate or birtherism.

Trump is a known Russian asset.

Want more? There’s more.

America shit the bed, sure, absolutely. No disagreement here. This does not mean that we didn’t shit the bed with assistance.

It can definitely be both.

The radio has been playing free music since 1906.

To be fair his dad’s opinion isn’t one that I respect.

But yes. The man has more money than God and basically his entire family has completely disowned him, with the exception of the baby he carries around as body armor because he isn’t old enough to know what that is yet.

For anyone else in the world I would hope that would be something of a wake up call.

Don’t worry, he has people for that. Ones that won’t be reported on like he is.
