You are down far too bad off two panels of a monitor on a body.

This is weird take on an op-ed. OP didn't alter the title. The only ways I can conceive of a headline being "misleading" is when it declares a falsity (this doesn't; it's an opinion) or doesn't match the content of the titled text (this doesn't; it matches the text).

I agree, perhaps I misspoke. It's weird to call out that his understanding of the situation is wrong when he has no understanding of the situation at all and is uninterested in understanding.

The US wishes it was as effective as Palpatine

He's stupid but not that stupid. He doesn't even care where any drug originated from. He surely slotted "hot-button drug name" into place and blamed Canada because he wants to put pressure on them.

One of the few things in his entire life Donald has learned and been able to apply is the US Republican playbook for blame-throwing.

It is inane that one of the options is "just hold on for a few days and see what happens" and that it is a viable option at all. Government is in shambles.

Is Disney publicly traded? Because you're not taking into account stock trading in the insane-o market where speculation on possible public opinion can devalue a product by 100% for 2 days. They could be losing possible trade money if that 34% disapproval caused stockholders to short before other people sold and the prices go into freefall.

It all makes sense.

If my not understanding and calling out the opaque calculations that turn "someone liking cool, fast machines" into a "dick" makes me a dick, then sure. Whatever.

I also don't see how asking about one person's rationale equates to "defending" another different group of people. But I guess questioning this rationale will make me a double-dick.

If you give me two more questionable statements, I can try to get the echidna before I get bored of this.

And what's your reasoning for that?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (4 children)

What the hell kinda fourth-level, back-alley reasoning went into this?

Is it because the only people that can afford supercars are rich (i.e. "dicks")? Or are you saying anyone who likes supercars is a dick?

I felt a genuine modicum of relief at the thought.
