Trust in a product can be weaponized.

Also, as a Roman, I would never trust a Swiss. Call it genetic memory.

I could not even stand Walter, watched 1 and a half episodes.

Game of Thrones, the Expanse, Breaking Bad

I see Proton and Bluesky. Appreciable effort, but it can be done better.

Depends how tuned in you are. If it wasn’t for this pinned post on Lemmy I wouldn’t have known.

No, you need crime. The tax cut would have affected the tea smuggling profits.

They are priests, they are all the same, no matter the cult or the specific affiliation (Jesuit in this case): https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-paedophile-priests-children-god-vatican-b2336786.html

You literally missed the right number by one.

Repeat with me: “Morto 'n papa, se ne fa n’antro”.

This is Romanesco (the dialect of Rome) for “When a Pope is dead, another one is made”, usually used to comment situations in which the present condition will not be changed simply because of how the underlying mechanisms work.

Literally nothing to see here.

The Boston Tea party got started because of a tax cut from the British Empire. It was a whole different bunch declaring war than what people are lead to believe.

I believe him to be of Russian descent, and playing hard on the American stereotype of that.

He has had a troubled academic career due to a faulty paper trying to prove Tesla’s Autopilot to make people more attentive.

He has a long standing podcast in which he interviews mostly techbros and politicians such as Musk, Carmack, Trump, Modi and the like for hours at a time. He never really challenges them and lets them speak on whatever they bring up, turning his podcasts into hours-long PR stunts.

Probably a Russian asset, given that in this comment to his conversation with Zelensky he reiterated Trump/Vance talking points.

I have noticed that people who later reveal themselves to be into Joe Rogan and the like first test the waters by asking you if you listened to the latest Fridman podcast. I work in a tech consultancy so I have quite a sample, but it could also be a bubble.

Andrew Rousso made a spot on imitation of the guy here, as usual. It’s worth listening to a Lex Fridman podcast intro just to enjoy Rousso’s imitation.

Wow, just wow. Are you Drax?

Ask about Lex Fridman: at least for tech geeks it is the antichamber to Joe Rogan and the pandemonium thereafter.

I am just saying that they don’t know what they are asking for with this behavior: such places already exist and they are abusive to their own members.

Send them to a Catholic male-only school, which incidentally is also one of the most right-wing places I can imagine. Let’s see how long they remain up to their “masculine” standards.

I know this is a joke, but it is important to point out for others that such policies get years to be designed, discussed and published in the EU.

What is an alternative to burning for long-term immobilization?

Asking for a friend.

I didn’t even get to click on a product, just getting to know where stuff is made is inspiration enough for me.
