So what you’re saying is, Canada wants some of that internet money?

Ah, I was wondering what happened. Gave my Boost for Reddit the revanced treatment and it’s been working fine since last summer. Oh well. All good things.

That said I would like to see more diverse opinions and sources on my Lemmy feed though. There has to be a base somewhere that isn’t literal nazis but isn’t open socialists either.

Please, this. Lemmy is boring as all hell. 95%+ of users have the same opinions. It’s a giant echo chamber.

I watched Phillip Defranco religiously from 2007 until bout 2018/2019. I’m not sure if he changed, or I just got older and aged out of his demographic. Always talking celebrity nonsense and no-name youtubers. Still seems like a good guy though.

based on “guest insights and consumer research”.

Sounds like something a smart business would do.

Tell that to Lemmy World’s Technology community. They’re obsessed with him.

A whole $3.41 million per carrier? Boy, that will make them think twice.

2015 - 2018 was great. I barely pirated anything. Netlifx, Hulu, HBO. Those three covered virtually all my viewing desires.

It’s only a bad thing when it’s people I don’t agree with.

I pay for the family bundle for YT Music. The ad free YT is just a bonus.

Alternate headline: a quarter of UK parents are lazy and borderline absentee.

This is my favorite argument.

I read three independent articles on the subject, including the one from last year, I don’t need to read a fourth.

I find it interesting you admit something is difficult to prove, yet feel perfectly comfortable making accusations on the subject. I’ll stick to the facts, thanks, and leave my bias out of it.

We don’t need something to “sound like rape”. If he was guilty of it, meaning there was sufficient evidence, in the jury’s opinion, the jury would have found him guilty of it. I’m sure they weren’t looking to do him any favors. Obviously the defense failed to prove their case relative to rape.

Now, did he do it? Probably. He’s a career criminal. But the line has to be drawn somewhere, and for me, if you’re found guilty of it, be it a criminal court room, or a civil one, that’s when I can safely say a person is what they’ve been found guilty of being.

Take emotions and opinions out of it, and just stick to the facts. He’s guilty in a civil case of defamation and sexual abuse.

Jury. A jury in 2023 found him liable for sexual abuse/defamation where Carol was awarded $5 million.

The verdict was split: Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, finding Trump responsible for a lesser degree of sexual abuse.

This year, another jury awarded her an additional $83 million for defamation.

I read three articles, and watched an NBC video, not one of them stated he was found liable for rape.

Simply believing a thing is true will not protect you from a defamation suit. You have to know he is, not just believe it. I suppose this varies from country to country.

I’m not obsessed with Donald Trump like most people seem to be, so I don’t follow his news much. I don’t have good reason to believe he’s a rapist, and prefer to wait until he’s convicted in a court of law, and would hope others would give me the same benefit of the doubt.

IANAL, but I’m pretty sure calling someone a rapist who hasn’t been convicted in a court of law of being a rapist could get you into trouble. Now the fascist part is completely subjective so you could probably get away with it.

This is an entirely subjective argument. I’ll accept this as your opinion, and perhaps your personal experience, and leave it at that.

I was not referring to you personally. I was generalizing. My comment was not rude. You simply perceived it as rude.

I would ask you to speak for yourself. You do not speak for all of society. Perhaps one isn’t free from potentially being the recipient of attempted social pressure, but one is certainly free to ignore it. I’ve been doing it for most of my adult life. I do what I feel is logical. Not what others would have me do.

While I accept your argument, you’re either a juvenile, or an extremely weak willed person to buy a particular brand because your “friends” pressured you to be more like them.
