Yup, this is it. This is straight up it. Even the “Liberal” press spout fat right talking points unchallenged while you can’t even show someone wearing a T shirt with “Protect the Dolls” on it on TV.

The fact that every single search query is fed through Gemini has made Google worse than its competitors, ergo, Dog shit.

Well, in my experience, at least is still better than Gemini.
I can’t believe that Google of all companies in the AI space have created the most dog shit AI.

Yeah I’m not fucking surprised. I’m not surprised at all.
I’m also not surprised they’re going for both The far right and pro Palestine people too. A bit concerned how the article opened with “They’re going against the far right” then mentioned nearer the end they are also going after People who speak out against the genocide in Palestine.
But yeah this is why I have a VPN permanently on.

This. I asked myself this and that and was amazed the joke worked in both languages.

- Comment on German joke 1 month ago:
So there are actually some German wartime jokes that are actually quite funny. Here’s some that I heard:
- " Where I live there’s now a lot of warehouses, there were houses and there were houses, and there were houses!”
- “How can you tell an optimist from a pessimist? The optimist is learning English and the pessimist is learning Russian.”
- One day at the barracks there was a soldier on his knees looking around the ground, picking up random papers he found and going “no, no that’s not it”. His officer asked what he was doing, “I’m looking for my special paper”. He sent him to the doctor and he was declared insane, when the doctor gave him his discharge papers he explained “ah, there’s my special paper!”

A city not wanting to have a healthy nightlife, to me, is a bit like a city not wanting to have shops: it’s a royally stupid position to make.
The nighttime economy is hella important to any city because it’s a big money spinner. Here you have a load of people who either have finished work or have the weekend off and they’re looking for shit to do that isn’t staring at the TV drinking tinnies they bought on the way home from work and they wanna go out to bars with their friends, or to a restaurant, or a show. Those bars, clubs, restaurants, theaters and take outs make money and pay tax which the city can use for shit they need. Oh, and those Pubs? They can act as community nexuses, so there’s a fucking social benefit too. The idea of a city having no nightlife is genuinely a dumber idea than when they turned cities into car centric hellholes, and that was a very dumb idea that most cities are struggling to deal with even now.
Want to know how universal nightlife is? Cultures that don’t drink have nightlife. Muslim countries have night markets and cafes because it’s almost a universal thing that after work, at night, people wanna hang out and do things.
I have been to villages with nightlife, several pubs where locals and visitors alike go to have a drink or maybe see live music. I have been to hamlets with a pub open until 11 where people go to vibe with a pint. Hell, even dormtowns I have been to have at least one watering hole. If your authorities are fighting against nightlife, then they are ultra-authoritarian asshats who hate money and human joy.

Okay, maybe you should lobby your local government for better public transport? Because let’s be honest with you, you can’t have a healthy nightlife without public transport at night.
If the patrons of bars and clubs only have the option to drive to your location and drive back, they’re either not going to drink as much as they would, not going to visit as often because they’re going to have to drop stacks on a cab, or they’re going to drink and drive.
You can’t have a healthy nightlife without public transport at night. The only places that I can think of if I can get away with having no public transport and having some form of nightlife are wee villages, because you can walk home.
If you want a healthy nightlife, invest in public transport. If you don’t want to invest in public transport, prepare to spend your nights drinking alone in your house.

This is the most American takeaway I have heard. It’s not my fault your country doesn’t invest in public transport, resulting in dead cities with no third places, endless traffic, no walkability and it seems, from you, rampant snobbish classism.
Also you going home from a bar, a place that is famously full of drunk people, complaining about drunk people on the bus while you’re coming home from the place where all those drunk people are coming from is a bit like complaining about fursuiters on the bus while you’re coming home from a fursuit convention.
Also drunk people on the bus is 100% better than the alternatives, that is drunk people driving or zero bars in your city because their customers can’t come home after drinking without dropping a stack just to get home.
Where I come from we invested in public transport, and when I say we invest in public transport, I mean we invest in public transport. Everyone takes the bus here, regardless of who they are, because It’s the easiest way to get into town and back because the alternative is unviable and inconvenient, especially if you are going out on the pish. We have rich office workers on the bus alongside poor gig workers. And the nightbuses are used by both pishheads and night workers to get home or to work or wherever, and it’s not too bad, not anymore annoying than pishheads at the bars at least.
America doesn’t invest in public transport because they want to force you to drive, they don’t want to give you the choice, they keep public transport either non-existent or useless, so you don’t have a choice but to drop thousands of dollars every year just to leave your house. This has resulted in a situation where most American cities look like Glorified motorway junctions dotted with unwalkable housing estates and strip malls. No, that is not because the city was founded in 1950 when people started buying cars, most American cities were founded much older than that and had public transport systems, but got rid of them to force people to drive, literally demolishing the entire city to turn it into a collection of strip malls and steroids.
You want a healthy nightlife, invest in public transport and nightbuses. Don’t want to invest in that, have fun with drunk drivers, expensive taxis, no nightlife, and drinking alone in your house because you can’t fucking leave your house without a car.

This is something I’m to European to understand.
Not my fault your country disinvested in public transport to force your to drive, killing off third spaces for the enrichment of car companies.

Know what doesn’t refuse to pick you up if you’re pished? The Night Bus.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT WINS AGAIN! INVEST IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!
- Comment on The Woke Veggie Tale Leftists Won't Tell You About This One 1 month ago:
The idea of Americans believing the bible actually took place in the USA is the most American thing I can imagine.
Also, counterpoint: The Bible actually took place in Scotland, specifically in an around the Forth. Here are my arguments:
- The Forth has more than seven tributries, including (but not limited to) The Leven, The Esk, The Water of Leith, the Almond, The Avon, and The Carron.
- Scotland was actually, provably, occupied by the Romans and still has Roman remains.
- Splitting the sea at the Inchgarvie Narrows makes more sense than splitting the Red sea.
- The Islands of the Forth are full of Hermitages, and Inchcolm has a Abbey, why? BECAUSE THEY KNEW!!!
- The Temple was built on a mount and surrounded by walls? St Margaret’s Chapel is on a mount surrounded by walls. Ergo; Edinburgh Castle is the actual site of The Temple!
- America has had no Presidents called “David”, but Scotland has had two.
COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!
