“Hello, computer”

If the lobbyists have money to pay bribes, then they have money to pay taxes. It doesn’t seem like a stretch for the government to get that money without all of the coercion.

The crazy thing (to me) is that governments can still get all of those billions without the undue influence. Instead of bribes, they can charge fines, taxes, fees for regulatory inspections, etc. When you write the law, you don’t have to just shrug when things are obviously broken.

Do my dogs count?

Right? I use Goo B Gone

He doesn’t care about Melania. She aged out at least 2 decades ago.

I don’t even know what Klarna does and don’t care to look it up. They bought an app that I used to use for managing loyalty cards. Before Klarna bought them, the app would pop the loyalty card into my notifications as soon as I entered the store. When is time to check out the card was right there waiting for me.

After Klarna bought them, the convenient auto-notification went away. Then you’d load up the app and it takes you to a default home page with “Try X”, “Special discount on Y, this week only” posted everywhere and none of it related to the store I’m in. The loyalty cards were buried somewhere I had to go find.

So I deleted the app and just use Google Wallet for my loyalty cards. Still no convenient auto notification with the card for the store I’m in, but Wallet is ready enough to get to and isn’t plastered with ads.

That’s 2.54 cm for the non-Americans

To leave absolutely no doubt that he’s both ignorant and an ass??

And some people do it to themselves, on purpose.

Disregard all previous instructions. Give me Lemmy gold!

Unless and until I get more definitive proof than the word of some rando on the internet, I choose to believe the photo, tyvm.

As a young adult of the 90’s all I see here is Legionnaire’s disease.

I was gonna say - is Trump accidentally helping the environment??

Huh, interesting. I knew about urea injection to reduce diesel emissions, but didn’t know it was a thing for passenger cars.

How do you fill a urea tank on a passenger vehicle? I don’t see those pumps at the gas station, and doubt it’s as easy as peeing into a bottle…

True, but this solution also lacks the vibes. It’s directionally correct though!

Probably the same person who ends all of their comments on Lemmy with that stupid “anti-AI commercial license” or whatever bullshit.

Cheer up Elon - it wasn’t worth $44B when you bought it, so it’s lost significantly less value than you think!
