Some quotes I found interesting

Billionaires’ effective tax rate is currently equivalent to 0.3% of their wealth, requiring them to pay a far lower rate than middle-class taxpayers.

Along with Milei, the Biden administration pushed back this year as the G20 weighed Zucman’s tax proposal. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told The Wall Street Journal in May that the “notion of some common global arrangement for taxing billionaires with proceeds redistributed in some way—we’re not supportive of a process to try to achieve that. That’s something we can’t sign on to.”

As Common Dreams reported Tuesday, the U.S. is one of eight countries that are contributing to an international loss of $492 billion in taxes each year as multinational corporations and ultrawealthy individuals underpay. The eight countries—which also include Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and the U.K.—oppose a United Nations tax convention.

There’s something so uniquely funny about being too stupid to insult someone properly. Thanks for the chuckle

The cost to me, the user, is nothing

sigh people do talk about this, they complain about it non-stop. These same people probably aren’t using it as intended, or are deliberately trying to farm a “gotcha” response. AI is a very neat tool which can do a lot of things well, but it’s important to recognize its limitations. I don’t use it for things I don’t understand because I won’t recognize if it’s spitting out nonsense, but for topics I do understand it’s hard to overstate how efficient and time saving it is.

Bleagh

I haven’t seen that one before. Is it “to be quite fair”?

I love this

Yes.

Fuck cancer

My friend got an interactive thingamajig. It’s connected to Wi-Fi, it has a camera that moves, it has a toy hanging off the top that’s connected to the camera, and it can dispense treats. It also has a microphone and a speaker, so you can talk to and hear the kitties. That seemed pretty neat

I highly doubt they adjust their wipers enough to leave a thick layer of skin and oil on it. Not sure what this is, but that ain’t it

This would be true if it wasn’t for the blood trails. All these companies are thriving despite the enshitification; perhaps they’re thriving because of it.

:(

Fuck anon.

Edit: and fuck your downvotes. If you’re not willing to make food yourself then tip your servers.

I would love for this for where I live

Another one that just goes over my head. Is the joke just meta, that the bear was made to look like the hunter “fought it” instead of taking a cheap shot from a safe distance?

At the time of this comment two horrible references have been made, both hilarious

We don’t

Holy fucking shit that’s grim
