They did it during Black Lives Matter. Would cover their faces, remove their badges, and use rental cars to pull people off the street and disappear them. It’s happening now with ICE.

Same reason Truth Social does. A bunch of idiots praying to their master.

Although I love the positivity, this is more a story about Tesla than VW.

It won’t help Tesla one wit. They are going to collapse.

My point was more that they will believe they have created a scalpel but it’s actually a cudgel. They aren’t as clever as they think they are and will mess up here.

I hadn’t considered that, but looking at Elon as an example, yes, this is likely.

I have no faith in their AI efforts. They are going to flag so many random accounts.

That was definitely only a boomer and older gen X thing.

There’s a huge pet trade for ants. Really big hobby.

I think you answered a question I had: whether QLED or OLED came out first. I presume it’s in that order based on the issue you mention.

This was a great comment! Where does QLED fit into all of this?

The argument is symbolic. He’s still a foreigner and will always look and sound like a foreigner. His Thai friends will consider him part of the community, but he’s just some expat to everyone else.

It seems like every 10 years or so a story like this comes up.

I remember in the 90s there was a case of a teenager who vandalized or put graffiti on a building in some place like Singapore and was sentenced to caning. There was this huge outcry about how cruel it was and such, and I remember (I was in high school) thinking that the guy was an idiot who made how own bed.

Then you get Otto Warmbier who somehow was allowed into North Korea and then decided it was a good idea to rip a post of the country’s founder off the wall.

The lesson? Know where you are. When you’re not in Kansas, then don’t do Kansas things. Consequences are different in different parts of the world. It’s really easy to be a respectful traveler.

He was getting on or off a plane as I recall. In something like 2017 or 2018.

Yes. They will also sacrifice their own children and their wellbeing.

I noticed this first with AITA when it became clear that the mods were manipulating the sub for their own purposes. They would let obvious fiction in and ban people for calling it out. They also very selectively enforced standards and would only go after very specific comment types while ignoring very obvious abuse. Then I started seeing this behavior happen in pretty much all of the ask or story subs. Now you see it on Tik Tok and YouTube shorts–bots reading all these fictional posts into video shorts. It’s bizarre.

My Reddit account is probably 17 now. I haven’t logged in for ages, so I’m unsure. In any case, early Reddit prior to the DIGG debacle was pretty much like here. I think that the angry/edgy types had been on DIGG the whole time. It was when they went over to Reddi that it started to become meaner. Then wen subs cam out, it very quickly turned into what we know today.

During the whole API issue, I got a permanent ban from one of my favorite subs over a random and unimportant comment that included a stream of insults from the mod. It was completely unwarranted and pretty obviously was reactionary behavior by someone projecting their bad mood against the world. I sort of looked at my hands and wondered why I would ever want to spend more time on that toxic cesspool. I immediately stopped using the service entirely and moved fulltime over to Lemmy (had an account already, but I was only dabbling prior). I do miss some aspects of Reddit, but that Reddit started its painful death somewhere around Lockdown.

This will impact the stock price. Tesla will lose more than the fine in total.

The ones sold in supermarkets are not the same as what are distributed to restaurants. Plus, you don’t have the right equipment to make it the same way as the restaurant.
