I like that the headline sounds like there was just a $1mil pile of loose cocaine somewhere that got blown away by the hurricane.

Now this is getting good. I’ll just take out my popcorn I brought from home.

Well how do you combat that if you are in a household or shared network with others who aren’t privacy conscious?

I had considered that, but that would mean they are collating and amalgamating data coming from a single IP, which is almost as bad as listening to my microphone. Both are data gathering without my permission.

I’m not so sure. I’m interested in this thread because I had a recent issue like this. I barely use Instagram, hadn’t booted the app for a month or something, only have it to support my SO’s art account. Never comment/DM, just likes. Had a lengthy in person conversation about tattoos and the idea of getting them at current location. I didnt do any searches on my phone or any other device for that matter. Don’t have any tattoos, or ever look at that content on insta (only follow art and wildlife photography accounts). Booted up Instagram that day and was getting purely adverts for local tattoos studios on my feed. Checked my permissions, all disabled. The only explanation I have is that it’s somehow still listening. That can’t possibly be a coincidence.

Venture capitalist, the funniest of all professions.

Just need to make coffee at home and stop eating avocados. You’ll be a billionaire in no time!

He’s an American CEO vacationing on a different continent, how much more regular do you want it?

Someone’s got to crunch those numbers.

Right, thanks for that, it’s quite unclear to me from their comment, even if I re-read it now. I thought it was a weird spelling we use or something.

In the UK, “telegraph pole” can refer to any overhead wire carrying pole like this (usually the wooden ones), which can be carrying electric or telephone connections. They still do to in a lot of rural areas.

How else would you spell it?

Why do you think NBA players and football players have the same type of job as a politician? They are literally entertainers. Politicians should be running their area of politics to improve the lives of the people they represent, not sell them shit.

Why is buying the item the problem? Che Guevara isn’t selling you a shirt. He didn’t do a deal to sell shirts. The random theoretical shirt buyer you are talking about is not the same as an ex-president, who is also running to be president again, profiting from selling merchandising like a struggling garage band.

You say that like it’s not tacky for a former President to license their image to a shoe company.

Weird place to inject your Biden hatred.

She’s decended from nobel prize winners and married to a decendent of a baronet. It’s very much a “please don’t guillotine me” opinion piece.

I know there’s a constant scare about UK knife crime, but compared to other countries it’s really not the epidemic it’s made out to be.

Nobody said it is, but stopping people walking down the street with literal swords is probably helping.

It’s interesting you are saying it’s 6" like that’s not a bad thing when the law in the UK is no longer than 3".

I guess if it is plastic the sentence seems a bit harsh, but you would also get in trouble for a plastic replica gun that looked realistic. Seems like he has plenty of priors which is probably more the issue.

All in all, not oniony.

EDIT: It doesn’t seem plastic

Important to note that this wasn’t just a prop. The blade was sharp.

Man arrested for walking down street with sword has been sentenced.

Is it meant to be oniony because it is a video game sword?

Racism isn’t inherently a political issue and isn’t the whole story of slavery, but is a major factor when talking about enslaving a race. However, its close relationship to other major factors like colonialism, nationalism, supremacism and xenophobia, as well as financial structures allowing such enslavement and ownership, are all found well to the right of the spectrum.
